1306.04.2023TheOneAndOnlyCactus8.0In his prime, Morishima was a beast of a heavyweight. A brutal destroyer who ran through ROH and NOAH as this stiff badass with power moves and blows, while being surprisingly fast, like a heel version of Shinya Hashimoto. However, he also never reached his full potential in his native land, partly due to bad booking, but also because he never stepped up his game to the point where he could lead a match. And while a three times champion, he never had that signature title defense a great champion needs in Japan.

2211.04.2022CoolKyle6.0Morishima was a good worker in his time, possibly even great around 2006-2007, but he's been way too shitty in his last few years of wrestling. I think overall he is a problematic performer that was hurt by being too giving to junior contemporaries. His ROH run holds up as well as anyone. His work really fell off a cliff as his body betrayed him when he probably should have been reaching his peak, which probably colors our perception of him. He was special for the first 6 years of his career, but his, and the companies around him's flaws pretty much derailed him completely. I will always have a soft spot for Wild II & his ROH run.
2303.04.2022Beurt9.0 
2407.02.2022GriffinX9.0At his peak he really looked like he was bound to a 10. Sadly some injures that shorted his career and kept him from having that truly defining ACE of the company combined with problems in NOAH held him down a bit

3121.10.2021ActualHumanWill10.0One of my favorite ROH champions. Big, fast, brutal, and incredibly fun to watch. His matches with people such as Bryan Danielson and Samoa Joe solidified him as one of my favorite performers to watch during the peak of ROH and Pro Wrestling NOAH

3304.09.2021MrJabroniCamelClutch8.0An excellent wrestler with alot of promise and potential , however he could never fully realized it due to the puroresu business being in the toilet which was out of his control not to mention had personal issues that where never fully resolved , he could of been a monster hoss legend up there with the likes of Stan Hansen and Big Van Vader , what a waste of talent.

3629.06.2021WrestlingStuff9.0Morishima was the exceptional bully leader of Cho-Kibou Gun, and at times could be the perfect "Terry Gordy but japanese" partner in your book. A destructive in-ring beast that made mince meat out of all opposition existent, Morishima carried all his learnings from the All Japan dojo to evolve in NOAH and became the man that ended Misawa's last GHC reign. Sadly, his run suffered a sad ending due to his monstruous physical condition carrying high cholesterol levels and he tried to adjust his wrestling career at a time he needed to adjust his life first, causing him to have a star struck and think of himself as a celebrity again. I hope he redeems with himself and do something else for the industry as long as he's healthy again.
3714.06.2021arkhamoutlaw1010.0Perhaps the greatest monster heel of all time. Not exactly a perfect career, but the high points are undeniable and his match with Danielson could easily be cited as the best ROH match in history. Deserves more love.

4322.09.2020Ma Stump Puller8.0I think it's fair enough to judge Morishima as "wasted potential" especially when considering his NOAH stint. In ROH, he was booked to perfection, a beast of a man who by himself was able to go through the whole roster, being a convincing and brutal heel champion who wouldn't hesitate to murder someone with hammer blows or drop them on their head with a backdrop driver. Had plenty of great matches there, but his booking in NOAH left him in the backburner for wayy too long without making him apart of the main event scene, to the point that, by the time he beat (a massively injured and beyond prime) Misawa, he really couldn't recover properly. That isn't to say he wasn't over: the crowd clearly appreciated his work in the ring: but his reigns as champion were marred by not particularly amazing title defences and he never really seemed to catch that lightning in a bottle that his ROH title run had. It sucks that he basically retired before hitting his wrestling prime (late 30's to early 40's) because Morishima in NJPW would have been money. At present, he's a good "what could have been? " because he never got to a real main level beyond some long runs with the GHC outside of NOAH's sensational prime. Morishima was a great monster that could move fast as hell for his size, but he always seemed like more of a dance partner that needed someone really good to get him to the best he could be in ring, as he got quite complacent sometimes.

4917.06.2019Garrett8.0I am mostly grading him on his work in Ring of Honor. Morishima is the ideal final boss. A big guy who had the skills and was a monster, hell he practically destroyed the ROH roster in a great title run. He was built up to when someone actually did beat him it was a big deal.

5110.07.2018jamzell0010.0The fact he could have been so much better should say how talented he is. His roh title run, though not treated as such by the booking, is one of the most celebrated on history. The work he did in his home promotion of NOAH was also really good. His stiff style along with him just being a badass in his prime made him a fan favorite of many. Can't wait for his comeback

5418.08.2017Rybackobashi9.0Kinda sad to rate Morishima, when we know how his career ended... In the ring, he was a beast, the perfect monster who can move, hit a dive and then plant you on your head with the most vicious power moves you'll see. He had his fair share of great matches, but sadly he didn't have much time to have more. A very good japanese monster, and not the kind that you'll see everyday
5505.06.2017NikoWrestling79.0I'll just write about his time in ROH. A vicious ROH World Champion. Takeshi Morishima was the first non-American to hold the title, beating the Notorious 187, Homicide for the championship and going on to defend it against the likes of Nigel McGuinness, KENTA, Roderick Strong, Austin Aries, so on and so forth. Looking dominant with every passing match until finally losing the championship to Nigel McGuinness, setting off a great run for Nigel as well. Then Morishima entered quite possibly one of the greatest feuds in Ring of Honor history with "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson..... Unfortunately in 2015, Morishima had to retire after spending the last bit of his career in Pro Wrestling NOAH after winning the GHC World Heavyweight Championship on three occasions. Morishima was great for ROH in that time frame. They needed a monster and Morishima played up as a great heel.

6401.03.2016NastyYaffa7.0His run in NOAH wasn't really good, and he didn't have many great matches there, but his ROH run was absolutely amazing. The rivalry against Bryan Danielson is pro wrestling done to perfection, and it's without a doubt one of the greatest feuds in wrestling history. He also had some damn good matches vs. McGuinness & Castagnoli there.

6724.07.2015TrevPuroFan7.0Takeshi Morishima was a very good wrestler. His run in ROH was GREAT! , he had some of the best matches of his career there against the likes of Bryan Danielson, Nigel McGuinness, Samoa Joe, Claudio Castagnoli etc. His run in NOAH was very good too as he's a 3 time GHC Heavyweight Champion, and had some great matches against KENTA, Misawa, Kobashi, Marufuji etc.
6822.04.2015yanus7.0A guy with a lot unfulfilled potential as a wrestler. Had a lot of great matches and flashed greatness occasionally, but overall he also was too often average between the ropes.

7128.01.2015GD10.0Tremendous big man ! His reign of terror in ROH was incredible and an indication of things to come in the future as he defeated the legend Misawa for the GHC title. Unbelievable strenght and agility !
7206.01.2015JuliTheCage878.0 
7316.11.2014Claudio Hero10.0Für Mich einer der Besten Big Man die es jemals im Wrestling gab. Unheimlich beweglich und kraftvoll. Hatte tolle Matches sowohl bei NOAH als auch in seiner ROH Zeit und auch heute noch sind seine Matches mehr als sehenswert
7414.07.2014Wrestling Forever 9.0Hab bis jetzt hauptsächlich Matches von Mori bei ROH gesehen. Für seine Masse ist er sehr schnell und sehr beweglich. Ein wahres Monster aus Japan das viele Wrestler bei ROH verzweifeln ließ.
7518.02.2014Matzinho6.0Handspring schön und gut, aber Morishima ist für mich einfach kein Wrestler für 20-Minüter und entsprechend auch kein Heavyweight Champion. Er hat ein paar nette, glaubhafte Aktionen, ich habe ihn aber zu oft ausgepowert und langsam im Ring erlebt. In der Tag Team Division ist er in meinen Augen gut aufgehoben.
7601.02.2014Kings Road8.0 
7730.12.2013Paul Allain5.0Apart from an intimidating physique, Takeshi Morishima is a very average wrestler with a couple of decent power maneuvers, but a very repetitive arsenal, slow movements and little in the way of charisma. Nothing really special, even with the backing of companies such as NOAH and ROH.
7829.12.2013LS Inc7.0 
7910.09.2013Alex Maeda9.0Star-Aura, Ausstrahlung, Härte, Beweglichkeit, Glaubwürdigkeit. So stelle ich mir einen guten Wrestler vor.
8020.07.2013Boris The Menace6.0 
8117.06.2013HHH Pedigree9.0 
8217.10.2012Jack London9.0Hat sich im Vergleich zu seinem ROH-Run noch mal um ein Vielfaches gesteigert. In der tristen NOAH-Gegenwart ist er für mich die einzige Hoffnung auf eine Zukunft dieser Liga, als der nicht zu stoppende Champion, der seine Heavyweight Rolle perfekt ausfüllt, ist er sein (mittlerweile vorteilhaft geringer gewordenes) Gewicht in Gold wert.
8320.09.2012Wolky6.0 
8407.06.2012Kenshin Uesugi9.0"Japanese Monster"! Der wirklich Heavyweight Star von NOAH und derjenige der nun nach Gewichtsverlust und Pause wieder das Feuer in sich trägt. Shiozaki sollte genau hinschauen so bewegt, benimmt und verhält sich der World Champion einer Liga. Schafft es mittlerweile mit seiner Art das manchmal träge NOAH Publikum wieder zu begeistern und Schwung in die Matches zu bringen. Als Wrestler so wieso schon immer einer tolle Kombination aus Terry Gordy und Vader gewesen und mit ein Glaubwürdigkeit bei allen sein Aktionen gesegnet das sogar ein Schoulder Block zu einem Todesmove wird. Und Gott sei dank leidet er nicht an der Schwäche vieler großen Heavyweights das sie beim Selling eher schlecht sind. Er muss NOAHs Aushängeschild sein und werden.
8506.03.2012Hu-Man9.0 
8603.08.2011rv279.0Ich Persönlich mag ihn sehr gerne. Mir gefällt sei Wrestling Style, Seine Beweglichkeit trotz seiner Masse. Schade das er nicht mehr sehr oft in ROH zu sehen is. War eine Coole Zeit Damals.
8701.08.2011MaikBaader9.0Eine verdammte Maschine. Morishima beweißt sich bei NOAH immer wieder. Der Junge ist gold und definitiv Heavyweightmaterial. Ich sehe in der zukunft einen langen run von ihm.
8801.08.2011Rob the bob6.0Als ROH Champ glaubwürdig, wenn auch recht eintönig. Hoffe er kann noch etwas an sich arbeiten.
8917.06.2011Tekkie199310.0Für mich ist er der Größte Big Man im Wrestling Geschäft Er ist mein absoluter fave
9026.05.2011DerHitman9.0 
9118.09.2010Rated R Champ8.0Kenne Morishima nur aus seine ROH Zeit. Dort konnte er definitiv überzeugen. (Suicide Dives bei dieser Größe/Masse sieht man auch nicht jeden Tag). Im Ring kann er definitiv überzeugen, allerdings wirkte er oft auch irgendwie gelangweilt, was sich dann trotz toller Leistungen ein wenig auf die Zuschauer überträgt. Zum Mic Work kann ich Mangels Japanischkenntnissen nichts sagen.
9204.09.2010Double J8.0Ein klasse big Man, sehr kraftvoll, sehr gut im ring! Nur Auftreten und Körpr sind bei ihm nicht toll, darum gibts 2 Minuspunkte.
9318.08.2010MaKno7.0Fat Girl - ich habe Morishima vor rund zwei Jahren noch sehr gemocht, aber mittlerweile langweilt er mich ein wenig im Ring. Die Monsteraura hat er irgendwie verloren und sein Aussehen war schon immer ziemlich gewöhnunsbedürftig.
9425.07.2010Sunglasses8.0Morishima ist einer der besten - richtigen - Big Men. Gibt nicht viele in seiner Gewichtsklasse, aber von denen ist er ganz weit oben eingereiht. Unfassbar dynamisch im Ring, beherrscht Dropkicks, Dives und schlägt Räder im Ring. Außerdem ist er in der Lage ein gewisses Tempo zu erreichen, was seine Lariats noch brutaler macht. Einzig sein dauerhaft grimmiges Gesicht stört ein wenig, aber solang er seine Haare lang lässt, kann man das verschmerzen. ;)
9525.07.2010WrestlingFanDuisburg8.0Ich muss mich nach oben korrigieren. Mit den richtigen Gegnern weiß Morishima durchaus zu überzeugen. Klasse Match beim Fifth Year Festival gegen Joe. Hat mit seinem Gewicht einiges drauf. Einzig fehlt mir die Ausstrahlung bei Morishima.
9604.05.2010Sandmann8.0Was für ein Monster. Der dominanteste ROH World Champion ever. Mori ist echt ein Tier, der aber auch die ein oder andere schöne Technikaktion zeigen kann. Der Backdrop Driver als Finisher ist auf jeden Fall mal sehr genial.. Habe Morishima immer gerne gesehen und würde mich freuen wenn er mal wieder zurückkommen würde zu ROH
9729.04.2010Damon Striker8.0Einer meiner Favoriten aus Japan. Sein harter Stil im Ring gefällt mir und auch sein Auftreten passt einfach! Würde mich sehr freuen, ihn mal wieder in den USA, vornehmlich bei RoH, zu sehen!
9814.04.2010Wrestlingmashine9.0Gucke mir gern seine Matches an. Sehr geiler In -Ring Style. Einfach Monströs :P
9906.11.2009Big Bad Booty Baby6.0KENTA mit doppelter Masse? Nicht ganz, er ist deutlich weniger beweglich, für einen Big Man aber immer noch recht beweglich, wenn auch langsam, unterwegs. Er kann gut das unzerstörbare Monster spielen (oder kann er einfach nicht anständig sellen), er kann hart zuschlagen und seine Moves wirken durch seine Masse echt hart und real. Charisma habe ich bei ihm jedoch noch nicht entdecken können und er macht oft einen gelangweilten, teilnahmslosen Eindruck, was aber auch ganz gut zu ihm passt.
10007.10.2009Eddie7.0Schon eine coole sau, aber für mich noch 1 Punkt hinter Shiozaki und KENTA anzusiedeln. Aber da ist natürlich noch genug Zeit für eine Aufwertung, bis dato 7 Punkte.
