[4.0] "A massive flaw in puroresu is to mature, breakdown and build up people all over again (not oppugning any blameless abuse by trainers mostly joshi trainers.) While Kazushige Nozawa had Minoru Suzuki, KY Wakamatsu and that special addition quality in lucha libre by Negro Casas, his personality was more bad than good. Take away his pot taking habits or tatting himself up in his 30s, IN JAPAN, he is without a doubt a boring dry and overindulgent person. He was trained by KY from PWC and turned his rough ways into a balanced nature. However after he had a alright run in CMLL (his very best background was lucha, not puroresu.), JCW (brought him to America and did what he did in DDT, even got to TNA and PWG out of the deal.), AJPW during Great Mutas love era where entertainment was present and not a bad period (All Japan puroresu was also some of the best.) and finally went to New Japan as Black Tiger, brought some wild moments tagging with Taichi, FUIJTA and of course Masada. Around that time, he and his then girlfriend Iyo Shirai made news thanks to SUGI marijuana possession being supplied in a charitable picture, although his presentation got him in trouble and could been framed as the smuggler, he was totally unaware. His career dropped off afterwards. He later became a mid card talent helping talents in 8 man and 6 man tags. He retired next to Great Muta back in 2023 and became commissioner in Pro Wrestling NOAH for them Monday night magic events. He was never perfect. His lucha background stopped him from a two."
[7.0] "My Rating 7.3 I first saw NOSAWA Wrestling on Juggalo Championship Wrestling when they aired their shows on youtube. I haven't followed up on his work since but I rewatched some matches from those days and he is just as good as I remembered. His hard hitting style was a nice change on the regular character heavy roster of JCW. The crowds didn't seem to mind either as he was getting very big reactions every night."
"It's no surprise that no one is mentioning Noszwa's work in JCW (Juggalo Championship Wrestling), but I feel it was some of his best work to date! Always a crowd favorite, great worker, loved the stories he was involved in (especially the one including The Great Muta leading up to JCW's first Bloodymania event), and he was always exciting to watch for me. Loved him in XPW, but I feel he really came into his own in JCW (and is now covered in ICP and Juggalo tattoos, which should really speak on ICP as wrestling promoters), and he was a staple for the promotion for close to a decade. He'll always be a favorite of mine as I've always really enjoyed watching him perform!"
[8.0] "Nosawa is a good enough wrestler, a decent booker and played a big part on bringing back Pro-Wrestling Noah to the public eye of the wrestling landscape. People can say whatever about some of his decisions but the results speak for themselves."
[5.0] "For someone who's been in the ring with pretty much nearly every legend of the ring of the last 30 years or so, NOSAWA somehow never shines in the ring very much and typically seems to be there because he's a reliable hand with not much of a ego for a legend, meaning he's more than happy to eat losses and bump around. That said, he's someone who just feels like a politicker: he's always able to slip into roles or get his friends involved wherever he goes despite the above. Not necessarily a bad thing given some of his friends are pretty damn talented, but it feels like NOSAWA comes with a package of other lads that you kinda have to accept alongside him. NOSAWA just never seems to stand-out in any match I watch him in, always seems like a afterthought. He's a decent heel and his weird technical/lucha/brawler hybrid style can provide some good sequences, but I would never say I've seen a match where he comes out of his shell very much."
[8.0] "A Very good wrestler, Nosawa Rongai can wrestle in any Style (Hardcore, Brawler, Technical, High Flyer) and have wrestled all over the world like in CMLL, AJPW, AAA, Wrestle 1 and having his own wrestling Promotion Tokyo Gurentai.. having a tremendous talent have roared Japanese indie circuit with bang in his 20 years with the business."
