Takuma Joshiba

[6.0] "I think Takuma is one of Taka's more deceiving students, most people will see his comedy matches and think his one trick is the trope of short hoss with a sense of humour, but Takuma in time has shown he's more than willing to try his hardest at times he really doesn't have to. I've seen Takuma be trusted in recent years as a guy put in matches to heat the crowd up or get them going, and he does fine almost every time as he's very versatile in what he can do, mixing comedy, brawling and agile movement interchangeably at times. I actually wish Takuma would give deathmatch work a bigger go as I think he would be excellent if he built his style around it. I also liked the Dinosaur gimmick a lot, his look was unique and I never saw any harm in it."

[3.0] "He wouldn? t be bad at all for a worker with his physique and experience if it weren? t for his gimmick and getup. Honestly: his ring gear is atrocious and his gimmick ranks dangerously close to Tommy Dreamer? s during his WWE stint. Unless there? s some cultural thing going on which I don? t get Dinosaur Takuma is not merely bad: he looks rather pathetic. Just look at Kaiji Tomato for a lighthearted fun gimmick. Now that Taka is gone from AEW perhaps things will change for this poor sod."
