Mr. Pogo

[9.0] "You must give Pogo credit. From a basic ninja to a street fighter to death, this man made fireballs in Japan symbolic along with raising FMW with Onita, Tarzan Goto and many others. The first ever graduate of the New Japan Pro Wrestling dojo, this man decided to go further in his early days and went all by himself through America, where he met up with Kendo Nagasaki to create the Ninja Express; two dirty ninjas with KY Wakamatsu caning people's heads busted open. When this ended, it was time to give his career the change of a lifetime. Helped FMW to adopt explosions, barbed wire, and he was the first man to be flushed into C4 mines around the ring."

[6.0] "Mr. Pogo was not the best of workers, but he carved out, literally at times, a decent career at working good garbage-style brawls."

[8.0] "Not a great wrestler by the time he became super well known, but an amazing and terrifying character despite being a short, stubby Asian man with bitch tits. One of a kind."

[8.0] "Mr. Pogo, I thought, was a decent wrestler. Obviously, he didn't have the best speed or agility, but he didn't need that for the type matches he participated in. At the peak of FMW, he was one of their best deathmatch wrestlers but over time his ability decreased (The broken neck he suffered in a match against Terry Funk didn't help either). At the end of the day, he was perfect for the type of company he was part of and it's a shame he's no longer with us."

[7.0] "One of the greatest death match wrestlers ever, as well as being one of the innovators of the style. Enough said."

[6.0] "He is (and was) not a wrestler known for his lucha libre style, amateur wrestling background, american football career, king's road physicality, WWE Gimmickry, Canadian tradition, five star matches or selling like Shawn Michaels and Dolph Ziggler. He wasn't particularly strong and his speed and agility makes Haystacks Calhoun look like a Dragon Gate wrestler. What he is known for however, is his ability to satisfy bloodthirsty fans in matches that still hold up today in terms of violence. Put this guy in a standard singles match or one with no weapons at all, and nobody would pay to see him. Give him knives, axes, torches, alcohol, landmines and anything else that turns his matches into magic tricks going badly wrong on purpose, and people would pay to see whether or not he manages to kill someone or scar them for life."

[0.0] "Mal wieder bewahrheitet sich das Vorurteil, dass Deathmatch-Wrestler absolut nichts können im Ring und dies dadurch zu kompensieren versuchen, indem sie z. B. eine Sichel, oder Feuer einsetzen. Schade, dass solche Darbietungen immer bei gewissen Randgruppen unglaublichen Anklang finden, die augenscheinlich weniger an Wrestling, als an Verstümmelungen interessiert sind. Und das findet dann noch unter dem Deckmantel des Wrestling statt, naja. Mr. Pogo zumindest kann sich glücklich schätzen, dass diese Form der Match-Art erfunden wurde, sonst hätte er in diesem Geschäft wohl kaum einen Fuß auf die Erde gekriegt."

[5.0] "Eine FMW Hardcore Legende hatte sehr gute Deathmeatches in den 90ern bestritten deshalb bekommt er eine 5 von mir."

[5.0] "Kann wohl nicht viel, aber was er kann, das macht er gut. Aufwertung für seine Hardcore-Schlachten."

[6.0] "Pogo und die Sichel - eine göttliche Kombination. Im Grunde sind seine Matches vom wrestlerischen Standpunkt her eine Zumutung, aber alleine der dauerhafte stumpfsinnige Einsatz der Sichel und ein paar gute Fire Death Matches gegen Matsunaga treiben mich zu einer etwas besseren Wertung."
