328.02.2024JediSaiyanMaster120310.0"The Stone Pitbull" is easily among the best brawlers in professional wrestling history, up there with the likes of Steve Austin, Terry Funk, Mick Foley, etc. a man who is an outstanding performer in the ring and has had tons of amazing matches with the best that New Japan has to offer, an incredible storyteller who can convey so many emotions, the definition of a workhorse, has one of the best brainbusters ever, still competing to this day and not showing signs of slowing down, looks big for a guy who's 5'7" and can look believable as a threat to anyone, I could go on.

911.02.2024ChocoboSage10.0My favourite wrestler, ever since I first saw him I was blown away by his speed and toughness. He just doesn't give up, quick on his feet and hits like a train. He makes you believe he can win every fight and you'll cheer him on every time. For a man as stoic as the stone pitbull, he has a lot of charisma

1111.02.2024RusherBryan2910.0The Stone Pitbull. Amazing wrestler, great brawler, fantastic in ring work. His brainbuster is one of the best in this business. The master of round robin tournament, best workhorse in njpw history.

1310.02.2024bigotownsend10.0At 48 years of age, Tomohiro Ishii is STILL wrestling at an elite level and putting on excellent matches. He is on my Mount Rushmore of Japanese wrestlers without question, a true workhorse in every sense of the word and never afraid to put younger talent over. Even his presentation is so simplistic yet fantastic, the way he struts out to the ring looking like an indestructible brick wall gets me hyped for every single one of his matches. I cant sing his praises enough. Despite his age, its still not too late to give him the IWGP World title run hes always deserved because hes still *THAT* good.

2216.01.2024skillgull10.0I'm still suprised Ishii is still so good at the ripe old age of 45. His style is formulaic, however it's a formula that fuckin works. He's cool, he's stoic, he's fun to watch, He is Ishii. one of my favourites.

2513.01.2024somerandommark10.0the GOAT. Every match of his is must-see TV. I've never seen someone take such a simple formula and make it so captivating time after time. He wrestles with an intensity most can't even dream of replicating. Fucking awesome

3721.12.2023ZooWee10.0One of my favourite wrestlers ever. I mean I genuinely can't say enough good things about Ishii, he's just so great and his matches are so fucking fun to watch, even if they do get a bit brutal at times. All of his matches are structured in pretty much the same way, but every single time they fucking bang insanely hard because they are filled with some of the most wild wrestling you will ever see. He doesn't win often, but he always stands out in every match he's in. He's an unbelievably good wrestler, and it is a crime that he hasn't won a world title or a G1 while in New Japan. Still a GOAT though.

4303.12.2023danzitorock10.0Incredible wrestler, massively underrated and not pushed properly for several times in his career. It took a long time to NJPW realize what they had in Ishii, they were very resistant but after a huge public acclaim the Stone Pitbull received more respect. I think his matches format are one of the most enjoyable that ever existed, his character work and executions are perfect. He's a hard-hitter and fits well with any opponent.

5412.10.2023Okaro14310.0One of The best brawler in professional wrestling history. Just like Takagi, he is an outstanding performer capable of having a great match with anybody. Although he has never won the G1, he has been one of the most outstanding performers in the G1's history.

6012.09.2023Lord AdGnalDiv10.0It seems that the Stone Pitbull's best days may finally lie behind him now, but what days those have been! Tomohiro Ishii will go down as one of the best wrestlers of New Japan's best era, delivering banger match after banger match. One underrated aspect of Ishii's in-ring work is his selling. He will no-sell a move to his opponent's face and then sell to the crowd and/or the camera once his opponent isn't looking. Genius bit of character work, but only one small aspect of his captivating persona. If you haven't already, check out his matchguide and watch some of his top matches, you will not be disappointed.
6110.09.2023arrancar8.0Ishii has had a magnificent fall from grace over the last few years. For quite while, from at least 2012 to say 2018/19, he was the loveable and endearing 'forever underdog' mid-carder who always had fantastic matches and occasionally got big upsets to maintain strong fan support without ever feeling like a "loser" who was never worth cheering. His match style was basic: just lots of strikes and power moves, but he'd show so much genuine passion in his displays of fighting spirit that he made every movement larger than life, and his real-time selling was (and probably still is) some of the best I've ever seen. He genuinely felt like one of the best in the world AND of all time. The issue that holds Ishii back now -- and which is why I can no longer consider him the 10/10 I rated him back in 2017 -- is because he's simply far too obsessed with copy-and-pasting literally the exact same performances week after week, year after year, to the point that he's now genuinely one of the most uncreative wrestlers in all of Japan. I first noticed this back in 2018, when people were giving him rave reviews for having basically the exact same matches he'd already been having for years, just with very slight variations to account for some fresher opponents. I still thought his performances around that time were great, but the lack of that 'unique' feeling meant that I couldn't consider those matches as truly special as some of his best. And now, in 2023, the guy is just a robot that wrestles the exact same matches and gives the exact same performances no matter where in the world he goes or who he faces. Even in his prime years, his match style and character were always both quite basic, never exactly reflecting the depth of emotions that true all-timers would show, so that's become even more of a negative with him these days, since that provides even *less* opportunities for his current performances/matches to stand out and feel worthwhile. Does he really show any different approach or attitude towards, say, a NJPW main-eventer compared to an AEW mid-carder? No, not at all. And that's what has made all his 'big' matches of the last few years progressively more and more boring. I'm now no longer remotely excited to see an Ishii match, since I know exactly what I'm getting minute by minute, and I know he's never going to try do anything outside his usual, completely done-to-death "fighting spirit" and "strong-style" spots and sequences. He even makes whatever wrestler he's facing work done to his level, which likewise makes his opponents far less interesting because they're only allowed to work the same way as every other Ishii-opponent, regardless of whether that fits them or not. As negative as I've been, I still can't consider Ishii any less than "great" because, in his prime, he really *was* incredible, producing heaps of great, amazing, and even all-timer matches against a variety of opponents. Overexposure/popularity really was the worts thing to happen to Ishii, since he became far too complacent after he smartly realised he could just coast by on the exact same matches each time with 0 creativity or uniqueness. Maybe a re-watch of his matches in a few years will lead me to re-evaluate Ishii as more deserving of a 9 or even back to a 10, because he really did feel like an all-timer for a few years, but the last few years have pretty strongly soured me on him, so I'm not too sure of that.

8127.06.2023znezaalj10.0I do not think that we have seen a wrestler as consistent as Ishii is. He has had MOTYC every year for seven years now, I think that he may be the best wrestler in the world even at 44. He is super charismatic. A fan favourite for hardcore and casual NJPW fans and, when G1 Climax is around, get ready to see the best version of the Stone Pitbull. Basically, an unbelievable wrestler that will stun you day in and day out with incredible matches.

9922.04.2023LMZ202010.0This rating is for how I perceive him as far has career in its entirety goes (or at least since the 2010s decade). He's legit one of the greatest underdog wrestlers of all time, (like its completely believable for him to beat the odds and defeat an unstoppable champion...and its just as believable for him to lose to an undercarder- I mean how rare is that? ! ? ), one of the greatest brawlers of all time (his matches are generally peak-BIGMEATYMENSLAPPINGMEAT material), and hes been part of some of my absolute favorite matches ever. For that, he will always be a high 9 to a 10 for me. Nowadays tho, its seems like his age has caught up to him :(
