"Some will think that i'm exaggerating but i'm not when i say this: Asuka is THE greatest female wrestler (in-ring wise) to ever step foot in a WWE ring or in any ring, she can do it all, her strikes are so deadly, her submission skills are on point, she's also a quite underrated powerhouse and highflyer (despite standing at only 5'3, she's capable of being a powerhouse against women that are much taller than her), sometimes her promos suck but she oozes charistma and overall even by just yelling or saying something in Japanese, she keeps the audience interested and hooked into her, she's giving everyone their best matches even to women that can't necessarily keep up with her in the ring, let's also not forget her marvelous career as the undisputed and all-mighty Kana, she was making big waves in Japan both in and out of the ring, making one of the most famous wrestling promotions in Japan cancel her, creating her own wrestling shows that topped and outsold the promotion that blacklisted her and making a list and manifesto that criticized women being over-sexualized in the Joshi business, no matter where she's at, she's an icon that never disappoints and no matter how hard her haters (and by haters i mean the WWE creative team) will try to underestimate her, she is a SUPERSTAR and THE greatest superstar to ever come to their company, in conclusion: we only have and will have only 1 Asuka, definitely rating her a 10/10"
[9.0] "One of the best female wrestlers in the world, Asuka is already a legend and deserves all the recognition. Her character is sensational and her skill set formidable. With the right booking she is an absolute superstar."
[10.0] "Asuka is one of the very best to ever do it, she's an amazing performer.. in ring and character work there are few on her level of charisma. Asuka is a future hall of famer."
[10.0] "There are no words to describe how good Asuka is! Even when she's not trying she is really good! How people rate Biance Belair above her is beyond me and just pathetic. She elevated all of her opponents, even really green wrestlers. Her 2023 Kana inspired Asuka reinvention was much needed. I hope wwe centres the tag team division around asuka and Kairi, they're so talented and they can elevate the division and belts!"
"Not a good promo but a very good wrestler and very charismatic despite that. I remember how over she was when she debuted in NXT. Only problem is I don't think she appears as intense and unstoppable as she used to."
[10.0] "My 2nd favorite pro wrestler ever. And that's a shoot, brother. In 2014, I remember having to deal with some family stuff, forced into caring for an elder of mine in the middle of nowhere with no cable television, internet, nothing. I got on Twitter via my phone, and saw this "Joshi" (I didn't know what that was at the time) with demented clown makeup, a full General's outfit, and a cigar. It was a SHIMMER show, and later I'd find Cheerleader Melissa, Sara Del Rey, Jessika Havoc, Rosemary, and countless others on this show. But it was KANA that roped me in, and it was KANA that got me back into wrestling. I get it. Her WWE run is garbage, and it makes me so sad. Yeah yeah, all the fake accolades, and all that. But my god, they book her like trash. If you want to see PEAK KANA/Asuka, watch her in SMASH, any of her stuff while in Triple Tails, any of her self-produced shows, or her stuff with Tajiri where she's slapping the taste out of his mouth in backstage segs. If you're really feeling brave, you can always find THE infamous match on YouTube. Ya know, KANA and Marufuji v Satomura and Murder Grandpa where KANA booked a worked shoot where Minoru Suzuki just KILLS her. Even as one of my all-time favorite wrestlers, I could only watch it once. And remember, KANA's gonna kill you..."
[10.0] "Once the most feared woman in the building. Those people who really dared to rate Asuka lower than 7 is out of their minds. Asuka is great and a very tremendous wrestler who, unfortunately, is a victim of poor booking. While we do agree she's one the top names in the division right now, it feels like she isn't given how the WWE treated her ever since she came to the main roster. She may have been a grand slam champion now, but none of her main roster reigns can be described as memorable. I had high hopes when she came back at the Royal Rumble with a more menacing gimmick, but of course, the WWE ruined it as they favored an overrated woman in the name of Bianca Belair. I hope the WWE can give her another title run, Asuka's time is already clicking. She's already at her 40s, and it would be sad if she retires with not having any career defining moment."
[10.0] "I really wish I could give more than 10 points, and I would only do it for this woman right here. I think Asuka is the greatest to do it, bar none. She's an amazing talent who radiates charisma every time she puts on the face paint and the famous robe. Not to mention the fact that her in-ring skills are absolutely stellar. I have two Blu-Rays that have a bunch of her pre-WWE matches, and every single one is unbelievably good. I think she's an inspiration, someone worth looking up to. She helped me in a very dark time of my life and without her, I really don't think I would be alive right now. I will support her forever. Plus, her YouTube channel is so positive and makes so many people, including me, just really happy. Sometimes when I'm eating, I'll just watch one of her cooking videos so I feel less alone. She's the best, truly."
[9.0] "There are very few in the business that have the amount of success and traction that Asuka does. From Japan to the United States Asuka has taken the business by storm accomplishing literally everything possible and apologizing for absolutely nothing along the way. She deserves her flowers and her work is SO appreciated."
[10.0] "Literally one of the goats of the womens division she always has been She never fails to entertain the crowd with her strikes and wrestling ability and submission games. Her alliance with damage ctrl is neat she fits in with the group"
[9.0] "One of the best current female competitors inside the WWE. Asuka has a perfect wrestling style that can link with anybody and has had many years of excellent matches, from wrestling in Japan to the United States. Everybody usually calls out her promos as her worst attribute, but I think her promos are not at all bad, and you can see a clear improvement from years ago when she first signed with the WWE. Achievement-wise, she has done it all and is for sure one of the best women in WWE's history."
[10.0] "Asuka is simply great, WWE took the perfect decision by just letting her do her thing. Even after the awful end of her streak or playing a background character for the 4 horsewomen Asuka still shined and WWE knows she is on the top 5 women wrestlers of all time. I just want her to main event Wrestlemania and win, is the only thing she's got left to do."
[10.0] "Similar to Shinsuke Nakamura, Asuka is too good for WWE and I wish she'd leave "The Fed" and go back to Japan where she can be booked consistently, or wrestle anywhere that would use her correctly. Asuka is one of the best pure strikers in the business today, every kick, knee and elbow strike she does looks incredibly solid and knows how to make it look like she's stiffing her opponents when she's not. She's also a great seller, bumper, at character work, facial expressions and very charismatic, she can elicit reactions, despite not being able to speak English properly, her promo battle with IYO SKY is one of the funniest in recent memory, even funnier when you find translations for it. It's a shame the main roster doesn't utilize her too her full potential, she should be a top star in the company with all the tools she has to make it as one, the "language barrier" means nothing when we live in a world where The Great Khali has won the World Title. Her best work in WWE comes from her NXT days, having one of the best women's title runs on the brand and having a winning streak that lead to amazing matches with the likes of Ember Moon, still pissed WWE teased us last year that Kana was coming back and did nothing different. Overall, Asuka is the best women's wrestler in WWE today, no matter how poorly she gets booked, she always outperformers her opponents because Nobody Is Ready For Asuka!"
[8.0] "Asuka is probably the best female striker on WWE's roster. She has her faults sometimes misses positioning in the ring and the laguage barrier inhibits her ability to deliver good promos. Or it did for a while until she was allowed to start giving some in Japanese. Even though her gimmick isnt entirely unique its still consistant and played to perfection. Nobody wonders who Asuka was before she was in WWE or who she will be after all that we focus on is she is Asuka and she is great."
[10.0] "one of the GOATs, one of the best in the ring and arguably the best to come from Japan, she was always very charismatic and always showed what she came for in the ring. managed to prove himself on American soil and already has his name marked in history. a much-deserved 10 for ASUKA."
[10.0] "I absolutely love Asuka. Her charisma is unmatched. Even though her English is limited, she's got so much charisma that she makes up for it just by mere presence. Her unique look, ring entrances, facial expression, energy and passion are just a few things that I enjoy. She's also a phenomenal performer inside the ring. She has a great move set and takes bumps like a pro. Even at her age she's still performing like someone 20 years younger. She's also a wonderful person outside the ring if you check out her KanachanTV Youtube channel. She should have been given a better push on the main roster. Somehow, despite her lackluster booking and the language barrier, she's been able to stay over with the fans for all this time and is a trailblazer for all Japanese wrestlers. She will go down as a legend point blank period."
[10.0] "One of the main reasons I got back into weekly wrestling was to watch Asuka regularly. Her NXT run was outstanding, she elevated everyone she worked with and had so many all timer matches. Her moveset and athleticism is unrivalled by anyone on the roster, let alone only the women's division. One of the most exciting talents working today."
[10.0] "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ASUKA! She is 41 but she moves so quick. Her move set is incredible and her charisma is always on point. NOBODY IS READY FOR ASUKA! I hope she'll have great and long reign as a Women's Champion now."
[10.0] "The greatest japanese female wrestler of all time, more then proved herself all of these years in the wwe, and all the work she did on her homeland an fantastic performer and with can work well with any character given to she, simply fantastic."
[10.0] "Probably my favorite female wrestler and safely in my top 5 records. Her NXT run was absolutely amazing and made her feel like an absolute unstoppable machine. The trilogy with Ember Moon was a definite highlight. Her main roster run has definitely had some issues and kind of had her tripping off the starting blocks (especially everything with Carmella), but she has recovered quite well I think especially with the new persona. She is very deserving of all the titles she has ever earned."
[6.0] "She is amazing wrestler but she plays the same character many years and now is heel but it's the same, I don't watch any change about her character and the last 3 years she doesn't bring nothing special."
[10.0] "One of the best modern women wrestlers in the world. She was the definition of dominant on NXT and she has continued to reinvent herself on the main roster to keep herself strong. In the ring she is fantastic and is good on the mic even if English is her second language. Has a great presence that can get a crowd behind her."
"She wrestles like a guy which is a tremendous complement for a woman wrestler. Easily one of the best, if not the best womens wrestler of all time. A very tough woman that has no problem working stiff though she is limited by WWEs modern style. She bet on herself and her hard work made her stand out in Japan and she has solidified her legacy with her WWE work. Highly respected by her peers in the business. Despite her up and down booking in WWE and even the language barrier to a degree, she has been able to stay at the top through sheer charisma and talent. Her in-ring work is as good as any woman in the world even in her early 40s . Her background in MMA training and mat submission wrestling leads her to have a grounded realistic hard hitting in ring style that helps her stand a part from most of her contemporaries. Shes definitely in the tip-top of female workers in the world and shows no signs of slowing down."
[10.0] "Asuka is, with zero hyperbole, my favorite women's wrestler at the moment. There are others with more talent but no other woman (and almost no man) is as entertaining to watch as Asuka. Amazing in the ring, amazing character work, just all around amazing. The wrestling world is lucky to have Asuka."
[10.0] "Asuka is one of the most complete wrestlers I have ever seen, capable of doing pretty much anything you can ask from a wrestler. Whatever role you give her, whatever company she is, she will find a way to be entertaining when given the chance. She also manages to be captivating on the mic without speaking proper English, which is impressive."
[8.0] "Upper tier of ladies wrestling as a total package. Character work is top class, oozes charisma. In ring work is good to great. Has had fun comedy matches in Japan and many serious contests as well."
[10.0] "Best women's wrestler in the history of WWE and definitely one of the best women's wrestlers of all time. Her NXT run is most definitely one of the best runs in WWE history with great matches against Ember Moon and the last women standing match with Nikki Cross. Even before her NXT run, in Japan, she had MOTYC's on multiple occasions. My favorite match of hers is her and Minoru Suzuki vs Syuri and Yoshiaki Fujiwara."
[10.0] "Of of WWE's best wrestlers period. In a perfect world there wouldn't be gender restrictions and she could win the WWE Title as she is so much better than many who have had that belt. Her run in NXT was absolutely legendary and despite not always getting the best booking on the main roster, she still has an aura of legitimacy to her. Please push her to the moon HHH!"
[7.0] "I really dont understand how Asuka is rated so high. Shes a great wrestler with good charisma who has had some great matches, but she has a rating higher than Ric Flair which I find absolutely laughable. Like, I dont mean to sound rude, but I really dont see that at all. She isnt even close to GOAT status and I dont think she ever will be. Where are the 5* matches? Where are the legendary promos/moments to stand the test of time? Asuka is a very good wrestler and can even hold her own as a main eventer, but shes simply not as good as people apparently make her out to be on this site."
[10.0] "Indisputably the best woman on WWE's roster right now. I can think of very few stinkers she's been a part of, in fact she was one of the women who got me into rasslin' in the first place. Godspeed, Kana."
[8.0] "Not the Asuka we had but still One of the most important WWE female wrestler ever while her ultimate titles Reigns pissed me off also cause se was anable to get a win over Mia Jax and other's. I Hope in a final awesome titles Reigns. ****1/4"
[10.0] "I don't necessarily think Asuka is the best female wrestler in the world, though she is definitely amongst them, but she is certainly my favourite. Absolutely amazing look and overflowing with so much charisma even the WWE fanbase loves her despite her limited English. Upon seeing her for the first time (on the back cover of a WWE guidebook at my place of work) I thought to myself; maybe I should get back into wrestling? 15 years on from my childhood stint as a fan. That's how awesome and captivating she is!"
[10.0] "When I look through all rosters and think who has it all, who can capture anyone and everyone's attention, I keep coming back to Asuka. She can do it all: funny, scary, sexy, hard-hitting, emotional, you name it. She really is one of the best ever."
[6.0] "Dass ich einer von Wenigen bin, die Asuka nicht mögen, wusste ich. Dass meine Meinung und die der Allgemeinheit aber so weit auseinander gehen, habe ich nicht gewusst. Aber ok, auch ich darf mal jemanden massiv schlechter bewerten als der Rest. ^^ Zurück zum Thema: Asuka zündet bei mir nicht im Ring. Ihr Arsenal besteht aus Submission Wrestling - was nur in gewissen Dosen mein Ding ist - , Kicks und Schlägen - was noch weniger mein Fall ist - und den Gegnerinnen mit dem Hintern entgegenspringen - was ich gerdazu lächerlich finde. Lächerlich ist eigentlich auch, wenn sie in Segmenten ihre Show abzieht und anfängt, auf Japanisch wie eine Motorsäge zu quasseln und dabei noch rumtanzt - dies ist aber schon wieder so lächerlich, dass es extrem unterhaltsam ist, weswegen es für sie bei mir überhaupt zu einer mittelmäßigen Note reicht. Ansonsten würde ich hier vielleicht nur fünf, eventuell sogar nur vier Punkte geben."
[10.0] "My personal GOAT and favourite of all time. She is awesome, shes hilarious, and is probably the best wrestler in the WWE right now! Im stoked for her return, and I hope she continues with this darker persona weve been seeing, Id love a return to WWE as still under the name Asuka but her Kana gimmick that was utilized amazingly over in Japan!"
[10.0] "Asuka is the best female wrestler in the planet. This applies to every year you read this in. Currently aged 41, there is no more reliable performer that can put MOTN and MOTY candidates on any given night given the time."
[7.0] "She is great in the ring, but not the best. She is charismatic, but cannot cut a single promo, I don't get how she does not speak english after so many years."
[10.0] "AAAAASUKA, I love it. The great Japanese WWE wrestler that I like so much. Good wrestling has given but the truth is that his management has not always accompanied him at all well, but well, I've always liked."
[10.0] "While her character has been stale since about mid-2021, Asuka is undoubedtly the greatest Asian wrestler to ever work full time in the United States. She is a consistent worker and overly entertaining (especially outside of WWE, her YouTube is incredibly fun to watch). Her NXT run is the thing most wrestlers dream of, and she's achieved so much on the main roster too."
[9.0] "What is there not to like about Asuka? She's captivating from the moment she steps out onto the stage, with her vibrant personality being conveyed before she even says a word. When she gets into the ring, that character is carried through tremendously, with her joy for violence being infectious. She's also an amazing talent underneath that, with vicious strikes and some of the best submission transitions in the game right now. I think she'll go down as one of the great 'character workers' of all time."
[8.0] "Sie hat viel Erfahrung und ist sehr athletisch, Promotion ist häufig lustig auch wenn ich sie häufig nicht verstehe. Auf jeden Fall sehr komplette und gute wrestlerin die alles kann. Sie hat nicht umsonst alles gewonnen was man gewinnen kann und ist grandslam Champ"
[8.0] "Her shouts in japanese are extremely annoying and WWE should bring back her version from NXT. However, she is still very good in the ring and can deliver despite the age she's at."
"Asuka is one of the greatest women wrestlers of the modern era. Most of the criticism at her is probably due to the fact that she's in WWE which (used to? ) limit the possibility of what wrestlers can do. It's very by the numbers. In NXT she was best (like most) but has gone on to continually be featured in the upper mid and main event card for years! ASUKA is one of the hardest working women in that she always is on. Whether doing fast wrestling or making Youtube videos or promos, she always has a bright shining personality. In the ring she is second to none in WWE. She has great technical prowess but also does a lot of classic Japanese moves and knows how to hit them well on the other WWE women. Love the spinning back fist, german suplex, armbar and hip attack. Her look is amazing. She is older at 40 years old and looks amazing. She has always had a fit body and exciting hair and her costume never changes. Just the colors. She figured out her costume many years ago. I'm not 100% educated on her Japan run but I know she had awesome matches against Io and Mio Shirai and we've all seen the Shida Omega ass match. Asuka has found something great in her wrestling self many years ago. She remains at the top of her game now for years on end and will go on to win probably many other Women's championships. And Observer and WWE Hall of Famer in my opinon."
[9.0] "Definitely one of the greatest women wrestlers of all time. She has a fantastic look and absolutely oozes charisma. I only saw her stuff in NXT and Raw, and she always puts on, at least, a good performance. The quality of some the wrestlers she wrestles on Raw has affected some of her matches for me, but those are average at worst. Her gimmick work is tight and she's entertaining at hell even when she's not wrestling or doing a promo. Speaking of promos, she shouldn't be doing those if she's gonna do Vince's racist stereotypical Japanese person gimmick. She's way better than that and doesn't need to do any of that stuff to get over."
[10.0] "One of the very best today. Even when I had stopped watching WWE during its worst phases, I would always make sure I caught up with Asuka's matches and segments. Her in-ring skills are second to none. The chemistry she has developed with women like Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair have meant they regularly deliver some of the best TV and PPV matches WWE has to offer. Love how effortless her movements are in the ring. Asuka is someone who could carry Nia Jax (of all people) to a good match. Also her quirky personality is always a source of joy. Her mannerisms, one-liners and even random dancing are great little touches to her work."
[10.0] "When we're talking some of the best female wrestlers of all time, Asuka is one of the greatest. And this isn't just a minority opinion, this is something shared by most fans. One of the most versatile and excellent wrestlers on the planet, and not only is she an amazing in-ring competitor, she's one of the most respected workers when it comes to backstage stuff and also extremely charasmatic."
[10.0] "One of the most consistent performers in the history of wrestling at this point. She's proven she cant be held down the wwe's awful booking or want for everyone to cut pure english promo's. You understand everything you need to know about Asuka by how she carries herself and her matches which is how it should be. Idk why it cant be like this with all foreign talent but by the grace of god the wwe just let her be herself and it worked wonders"
[9.0] "Hab zwar ein wenig von ihrer Kana Zeit gesehen aber so richtig nun erst durch ihre Asuka Zeit. Ich hätte jetzt auch nicht gedacht das sie fast ein Jahr schon WWE NXT Women's Champion ist. Im Ring super, kann auch gut Englisch ich finde ihr Outfit auch klasse ist auch eine Joshi die sich immer neu erfindet. Von den Joshi die, die WWE verpflichtet ist sie eine der besten. Wenn sie in den Main Roster kommt hoffe ich das sie dann genau so stark eingesetzt wird wie bei NXT. Edit 06. 12. 2020 Ich würde mal sagen sie ist inzwischen eine WWE Legende. Sie war längste NXT Women's Champion und hat den Titel unbesiegt abgegeben, sie hat den ersten Woman Royal Rumble gewonnen und war auch die erste Japanerin der das gelang. Dritte WWE Woman's Triple Crown Championesse, zweite Grand Slam Championesse. Wenn Sie klasse Gegnerin hat kommen starke Matches heraus. Edit 20.02.2022 ich vermisse sie im WWE Ring. Es gibt leider überhaupt keine Infos wann sie wieder in den Ring zurück kommt. Edit 09.05.2022 schön sie ist wieder da. Sie lief lange wegen einer Schulterverletzung aus kann aber nicht die einzige Auszeit sein. Da war auch was von einem neuen Zahnarztbesuch."
[10.0] "When it's all said and done, Asuka could easily go down as the very greatest women's wrestler ever. She's easily one of the most consistent and fundamentally capable wrestlers ever, regardless of any classification."
[10.0] "Asuka is the greatest female professional wrestler of all time. Even with the language barrier of me not being able to understand her in her native tongue, her enthusiasm for violence is infectious and she makes me want to watch her kick some f'cking heads in."
[10.0] "Asuka's overall body of work is unmatched, shes been able to achieve so much around the world and at a high level doing so. She's by far one of the best wrestlers in the world in ring, she's extremely charismatic, has a fantastic moveset, selling, and psychology. Her character is great too especially back in NXT when she was unstoppable, just so much believability there. It does seem on main roster though shes the 5th fiddle to the 4HW which sucks for her because she's easily just as talented if not more at age 40 but regardless she's had a great career despite that with multiple women's title reigns, tag title reigns, a royal rumble win, and some memorable matches."
[10.0] "Absolutely outstanding wrestler. Asuka was booked like a killer on NXT, and although her Raw and SmackDown runs haven't been quite as great, she is still a dominant force on both rosters. Her charisma is great, and she can be serious, comedic, and intense all at once. So fun to watch all the time. I also loved her tag team with Kairi Sane, and I felt that her character became even more iconic when she adopted the Green Mist into her arsenal. It makes her that much more unpredictable and great. On top of that, she of the most gorgeous entrance attires, and she seems like she has so much fun being in the ring. I have no doubts that Asuka is the greatest female wrestler of all time."
[10.0] "Not only an amazing wrestling inside the ring, which by now is a well known fact, but also so much fun to watch as a character. She truly is a one of a kind talent and should be seen as an example by any aspiring wrestler."
[9.0] "Best women in ring performer today. Really loved her undefeated NXT run. Has had a good run on the main roster as well. She has a ton of charisma that mostly makes up for her lacking ability to cut promos in fluent english. Overall one of my favorites for sure."
[10.0] "Trailblazer in Japan, trailblazer in the USA. Best japanese wrestler ever in WWE, she has wrestled men and women. She has done i all. Some people don't realize what she has accomplished. Once in a lifetime performer."
[10.0] "Tremendous wrestler, legendary skills. She's is probably the best pure striker on the womens division, amazing technical skills, perfect submission arsenal and execution, truly one of the best of the womens division. Great character portray, and pretty good on the mic, knows how to show intensity and heat . Very charismatic, and knows how to connect with the crowd. she deserves everything she gots."
[10.0] "One of my all time favourite pro wrestlers and the most successful Japanese wrestler with regards to the accolades and matches she has had in the co lane compared to previous Japanese wrestlers. She can be scary, sexy and funny, sometimes all at once. Great look, charismatic, over despite the hot and cold booking, delivers in the ring with whomever she? s put with. no doubt in mine and in the fans eyes, a future hall of famer."
[10.0] "One of the best wrestlers period. Has insane amounts of charisma, has a great, memorable, and unique look, and is incredible in the ring. She can get a good match out of literally anyone. Her offense is varied, and her selling is great as well. I don't really have anything else to add. She's just incredible."
[10.0] "Asuka is definitely my favorite wrestler and I think she's objectively one of the best in the world as well. Her aura is totally unique and it's always a ton of fun to see her in the ring. She's consistently proving that she's eternally over, no matter what WWE does with her."
[9.0] "Asuka has the potential to be one of WWEs all time greats, and I have no doubt in my mind she will be treated as such in the future. Her talent in ring is like no other, great striker and just overall very entertaining in the ring. They also got around her english struggles quite well to the point she barely speaks the language yet she's still a top star and has great character work when allowed. Honestly I think what she's missing is one really good all time great match and maybe I'd consider bumping her up to a 10."
[10.0] "I look at her a lot like Daniel Bryan. An incredible run pre-WWE and then completely overachieved in WWE. He may have been more successful, but that's because women don't have as many opportunities, doubly so if you don't speak English. And with that in mind, Asuka really has done well for herself and I think absolutely raised the bar for women in WWE."
[10.0] "Asuka ist eine Legende und immer noch aktiv. Ich weiß nicht, wie lange sie noch arbeiten wird, aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass sie noch eine Weile weitermachen könnte und ich hoffe es. Sie ist durchweg die beste Performerin in jeder Division, in der sie in der WWE war."
[10.0] "As Kana, 10/10. As Asuka, 10/10, This generational talent helped define NXT, Stardom, and this generation of Raw/SmackDown WWE. The Empress of Tomorrow has countless classic matches and a character that never fails to compel. One of the greatest of all-time, with a fair claim to No. 1."
[10.0] "Another amazing Japanese lady wrestler. My ratings are on wrestling. Completely misused on the main roster. I think wwe has more talent then they know what to do with and just sign people so other wrestling companies can't compete. Asuka, Meiko, Sasha are really on another level."
[10.0] "Quite possibly the greatest women's wrestler of her generation and one of the best overall. She's very charismatic as well and can tell a story without the mic. She might struggle with English, which makes sense but she has gotten much better over the years. Still, she could have used a manager through her run. However, she's been able to get fans behind her still and that says a lot."
[10.0] "Asuka is amazing. Her look is extremely distinct, she can flip between unwavering intensity and likeable comedy in the blink of an eye, and she is a force to be reckoned with in the ring. She has been a pillar of the women's division since she came to WWE and pretty much represents the opposite of anything in the 'Divas' era. Also her theme song is very catchy!"
[10.0] "One of, if not the greatest female wrestler I've ever seen. She has an unquestioned presence, her in-ring ability is top of the line, and she's brought lesser wrestlers to fantastic matches all throughout her career. She's definitely one who I'll never forget."
[10.0] "Sadly I didn't saw yet what she was capable of outside of WWE but she is currently one of the 3 bests workers in WWE right now. She is very fluide and has a science in the ring that nobody else has. Truly charismatic and great as a face like as a heel."
[10.0] "Is there anything that this lady cannot do? Rules the roost in the WWE; they cannot book her properly because she's better than everyone else. Has to slow down during matches so others can keep up. Bucked the system in Japan and went her own way. I would like to believe that by standing her ground, the treatment of joshi workers in Japan has improved. She seems to be enjoying her time as a sports entertainer in WWE after the brutal years she spent in Japan and during her US crossover days with Chikara and SHIMMER; I can't say I blame her! Her personality is infectious; her skillset is tremendous; a brutal striker. At 39 years of age, she is still as fit as ever and seems to be the final arbiter on the future of her career. An AEW run after her WWE contract expires would be tremendous; would love to see her now against Shida! Heck, I would love to see her against Io, Kairi, Thunder Rosa, and Syuri!"
[8.0] "Was much better in NXT. On the main roster her career kept starting and stopping and for a lot of it was nowhere. Has had success though but when shes not in the championship picture she gets misused. Has good looking kicks."
[10.0] "Assets: Is capable of wrestling at a high level and can occasionally steal the show. Her image appeals to a wide variety of wrestling fans and promotions. Is arguably the most successful foreign-born women's wrestler in North America. - - - Flaws: Doesn't always pull off the best promos. Health concerns hindered her rise to the top. Will need to continue to find new sources of motivation now that she's seemingly done it all. - - - Career Potential: Franchise major league women's wrestler."
[10.0] "Hands down one of the best female wrestlers currently signed with WWE. She has an interesting gimmick, good storytelling, amazing wrestling ability, great move set, and an overall stunning persona. Glad WWE capitalized on her and made her a 4 time women's champ and a former women's tag champ. Great performer in the ring and great vlogger on YouTube."
[9.0] "Sie gehört definitiv zu den besten Wrestlerinnen der Welt, wobei in letzter Zeit sie ein wenig abgebaut hat, liegt vielleicht auch, dass sie kein vernünftiges Programm hatte. Im Ring sehr stark und am Mic kann man sie auch anhören."
[9.0] "One of the best female competitor I have seen inside the WWE ring. She is just so good and talented. Just exudes an insane charisma which was best highlighted during her undefeated run in the black and gold Brand, NXT. She is one of the best active workers in the WWE ( male&female) at the moment."
[10.0] "Entertaining, intense, cool, dope theme songs, amazing wrestler, and has a bomb YouTube channel! Asuka truly has ser herself apart from the women. If there's anyone who I could say compete with the Horsewomen in terms of full appeal, shes it. No One is Ready!"
[10.0] "I really love this wrestler, she is really underrated, she always did great match, would be the ace of every joshi's company, great heel, great high flyer, I hope that she will be the next SEAdLinnng Champ"
[10.0] "The second best female wrestler on the WWE roster. Asuka is really good, is not as charismatic as some others but manages to disguise it with a very intense and effective work in the ring"
[9.0] "Immer noch richtig gut. Kann gar nicht glauben, dass sie schon fast 40 Jahre alt ist. Sieht man ihr weder äußerlich noch bezüglich ihrer Leistung innerhalb des Rings an. Neben Alexa Bliss und Becky Lynch in meiner Top 3. Asuka darf mich jeden Tag mit ihrem grünen Nebel besprühen."
[8.0] "From what I've seen of Asuka and from the little bit I've seen of Kana, she is indeed one of the best female wrestlers who has a tremendous aura. Her hip attack seems like the only not extremely painful to watch move in her repertoire. And yet she doesn't injure her opponents, which leaves me questioning every time. Her charisma could help her a lot to break the language barrier in NXT, which didn't involve too much talking anyway. However in the story-entertainment intensive program of the WWE they still didn't find a good way for her and it's definitely not as easy as most fans make it look like. Hopefully opportunities will come to let her talk in Japanese without an annoying crowd. But let's be honest, she's near her 40s and in the end the WWE seems to be a fun-filled vacation for her, so I'm happy for her."
[7.0] "Asuka is definitely a very good performer but recent times have exposed that she is regarded as better than she truly is. Her in ring work is certainly the best attribute she has. I guess I just feel she is missing the "it"factor. She, in my opinion, is lacking slightly on the charisma aspect of what it takes to be a great pro wrestler. She's good, even really good, but not great. Solid 7 that could become an 8 with just a little work."
[10.0] "Being poorly and sparingly booked on the WWE main roster isn't enough to diminish Asuka's status as one of the best women's wrestlers of her generation, and certainly one of the best in WWE. My favourite female wrestler, and one of my favourite wrestlers regardless of gender to boot, every aspect and facet of her is world-class. An excellent and unique look, fantastic ring work, and has presence and charisma for absolute days. Even with her middling English skills there's really no excuse for her being kept off TV and pay-per-view so much at the moment, as even without putting any titles on her, the sheer quality of her in-ring performances could be doing so much to help other women on the roster improve and get over. Bonus points, as if they were necessary, for pulling off such a long undefeated streak without it really ever getting stale, even at its lowest troughs and nadirs; very few others could've done the same."
[8.0] "A joy to watch, especially during her time in NXT. Unfortunately, she's suffered from the Vince McMahon blues since being called up to the main roster. I hope she can get back on track as a singles soon. The team with Paige & Kairi does not work for her."
[9.0] "Excellent striker and one of the best technical women wrestlers, has a lot of charisma as well. She has the ability to make any decent wrestler look really good. Unfortunately she barely can show her real talent in WWE where her weaknesses are way more highlighted than her qualities and where the women roster is pretty weak. But even in Japan, while her work was obviously more respected and her style didn't have any limits, she never really had the career she deserved to have due to the declined state of the joshi scene. It's kind of sad in a way but I know what she's capable, she is still one of my favorite wrestlers and her 28 minutes match against Arisa Nakajima at the Korakuen Hall is still my favorite women's wrestling match."
[10.0] "My favorite woman wrestler and the very best right now! I don't like women's wrestling that much, but Asuka is so fucking great that I needed to watch her matches. I hope WWE stops to treat her like a joke, 'cause she's really great and deserves to be the Top Star of their women's division."
[9.0] "Technical ability, brutal strikes, great charisma - those are the main things that come to mind when I think about Asuka's positives. Huge asset to any roster."
[4.0] "Die WWE hat mittlerweile einige Damen von Japan im Roster und im direkten Vergleich zu Io Shirai und Kairi Sane ist Asuka die deutlich schlechtere Wrestlerin. Ich finde es traurig das der Smackdown Titel bei Ihr wenig Bedeutung hat. Ich freue mich darauf, wenn eine andere Dame den Titel endlich präsentieren darf. Nach Ihrer Zeit bei NXT ist einfach die Luft raus."
[9.0] "Asuka steht wrestlerisch über den Dingen. Ob sie nun die beste Wrestlerin der Welt ist oder nicht, sie ist in der Lage im höchsten qualitativen Bereich zu performen, Matches intelligent zu führen und hat eine feine Technik. Charisma ist auch vorhanden, die Mic-Skills sind allerdings noch verbesserbar. Was jetzt noch fehlt ist die ganz große legendäre Matchserie gegen gleichwertige Gegnerinnen wie Becky Lynch oder nochmal Ember Moon um die Spitze der Company."
[9.0] "Bringing some fire to the women's division, Asuka has been a major draw for the Women's Division. Her match with Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania was one of my favorite matches of the night, maybe the year. I hope she doesn't flounder now that they ended her streak, but I am expecting a lot of great matches in the future. As of this writing, TLC might have her in the MOTN."
[9.0] "Extrem gute Wrestlerin, die nicht zu unrecht oft als bestes Talent der gesamten WWE bezeichnet wird. Hab leider vor ihrem NXT-Run kaum was von ihr gesehen, aber in diesem Run hat sie mich überzeugt. Keines ihrer NXT Matches war wirklich schlecht und sie hat den Womens Title verdient gewonnen. Ich hoffe man bekommt irgendwann Dream Matches gegen Lynch oder Banks zu sehen."
[10.0] "Almost certainly one of the top 5 female wrestlers in the world right now, Asuka is a beast in and out the ring. Holder of the longest undefeated streak in WWE recent history, Asuka has been utilized according to her actual skills, a thing that is sadly not the norm in the World Wrestling Entertainment system. With a terrifying presence, thanks to her amazing character work, entrance, lack of english skills and, of course, world-class in-ring ability, she was the most feared performer in the promotion, both men and women, until her loss at hands of Charlotte. It was not the defeat per se, but that the subsequent screen time given to Asuka has not been, in my opinion, well utilized. Despite this, Asuka is a top talent and one of the greatest, if not the greatest, female *wrestler* to ever step foot on a WWE ring (Wait for the push to Kairi Sane and the signing of Io Shirai and we could have contenders on that). I can only hope that Asuka returns to Main Event status soon, where she belongs"
[9.0] "Einer der besten Damen die, die Wrestlingwelt zu bieten hat. Strahlt Karisma aus und ist gut im Ring. Gibt nichts an ihr auszusetzen außer vielleicht ihre englischsprachigen Promos. An denen könnte sie noch arbeiten."
[9.0] "Very good wrestler with an amazing in-ring work and great abilities, but there's the problem with her mic skills that's so awful and bad and I know that she has that smile thing and mockery of her opponents but that's not enough because in my opinion a wrestler have to sell his character on the mic too well and I know that she will never improve on the mic but at least we have good matches with her every time she enter the ring and I can't wait to see what she does with the likes of Charlotte and Ronda Rousey. And the major problem with her is that thing with the mic skills but the rest she kills it, mainly her kicks that's awesome."
[9.0] "Wrestlerisch ganz klar auf einer Ebene mit Charlotte, wenn nicht sogar einen Tick besser: Asuka hat im Ring eine unglaubliche Präsenz, wirkt glaubwürdig in ihren Aktionen (von der Hip-Attack mal abgesehen) und man hat immer das Gefühl, dass ihre bloße Anwesenheit für ihre Gegnerinnen nicht vorteilhaft sein kann. Ihr Mic-work ist aber auch nach ein paar Jahren immernoch holprig. Das ist schade, denn somit wird sie nie komplexere Stories erzähen können und ist immer zu einem großen Teil auf ihre Kontrahentin angewiesen."
[8.0] "Das einzigste was man Asuka ankreiden kann ist, das sie nach fast drei Jahren in der WWE immer noch kein gutes Englisch sprechen kann. Ansonsten gefiel mir ihr Run bei NXT bisher besser als im Main Roster. Trotzdem verdiente Royal Rumble Gewinnerin 2018. Das erste wirklich gute Match von ihr im Main Roster war gegen Sasha Banks. Hier hat sie auch zum ersten Mal eine ernst zu nehmende Gegenerin gehabt. Aber ihren Sieges Run sollte man endlich mal von der Storyline aufgeben, denn irgendwie wirkt das nicht mehr glaubwürdig. Schön wäre auch ein charakterlicher Wechsel ihres Gimmiks. Es wirkt zur Zeit auf mich ziemlich abgenutzt. Auch würde ich gerne von ihr und ihren Gegnerinnen mehr technisches Wrestling sehen wie teilweise bei NXT. Hier war ihr Last Women Standing Match gegen Nikki Cross das absolute Highlight von 2017. Die WWE hat wohl noch einiges mit ihr vor und mich würde alles andere wundern, wenn sie bei Wrestlemania nicht Championesse werden würde. Gerne in einem Match gegen Charlotte Flair aber was für eine Rolle wird eventuell Ronda Jean Rousey hier einnehmen ? Irgendwie wird sie in diese Fehde wohl eingebunden trotz des vermuteten Matches mit The Rock gegen Triple H und Stephanie McMahon ? Wir werden es im April sehen. Eventuell korrigiere ich meine Meinung in absehbahrer über Asuka noch auf 10 Punkte, aber hier muss sie mich noch absolut überzeugen das sie auch wandelbar sein kann vom Wrestler Charakter her."
[10.0] "One of the best female wrestlers that I have ever seen. Booked strong, has a great look, and is great on the mic even with a language barrier. Her mannerisms in the ring might be the best part about her. She doesn't wreck the competition, but always seems to outwork them, which makes for a great show."
[4.0] "Ich bin mittlerweile leider kein Fan mehr von Asuka. Ihre Matches sind meist ziemlich uninteressant, jedes Wort, dass sie sagt ist eines zu viel und sie scheint in ihrer gesamten Entwicklung zu stagnieren. Wird dringend Zeit, dass ihr Titelrun endet und sie in den Mainshows neue (bessere) Gegnerinnen und Fehden bekommt. EDIT: Wie naiv zu glauben, dass die im Main Roster besser eingesetzt wird. Die Matches sind noch langweiliger, die Einsetzung eine Katastrophe. Spaßfaktor ist sehr gering."
[10.0] "Vollkommen zurecht so hoch bewertet. Bin generell kein großer Fan von Damen-Wrestling, aber Asuka bringt alle nötigen Fähigkeiten mit. Nahezu unschlagbares Komplettpaket."
[10.0] "Nobody is Ready for asuka. this fact is plain, she doesn't really try fully on the main roster yet. She has beaten Punks Record for most days with a title in WWE and Goldbergs 173-0 Streak. She has done all the big WWE Records already before she set foot on the main roster. She still has her biggest test to get over with MR writing that may expose her weaknesses. Best of Luck."
[10.0] "Don't let wwe brainwash or make you look like stupid idiots. Asuka is definitely the best women wrestler in wwe for sure. Yeah, her debut with emma wasn't much impressive, but not her fault when she sold most of the match. Her nxt run was fantastic with killer matches with emma, bayley, nikki cross, ember moon and some other decent stuff. The lack of english is her only problem, but with proper booking , it can be hided. I am not 100% confident that wwe won't fuck her up. Hope she will have a good career on main roster."
[9.0] "Asuka's NXT Women's title run was fantastic. She is the best women worker in WWE today. I would like to point out though that I thought the same of Charlotte, Banks and Bayley when they were NXT women champions but while they all got exposed once they moved up to the main roster I would hope Asuka's experience in Japan would help her adjust better. Of course I haven't seen her pre-WWE work so we will just have to wait and see."
[9.0] "Asuka hat einfach alles was man braucht, außer vielleicht gutes Englisch. ;) Das macht aber nichts finde ich, da sie mit ihrer Mimik und ihrem Charisma im Prinzip genug erzählt."
[10.0] "Das Beste, was WWE zu bieten hat im Damenbereich. Absolut geiles Wrestling, optisch top, sehr charismatisch und auch die beste NXT Women's Champion mit so vielen tollen Matches, besonders ihr letztes Match mit Ember Moon bei Takeover Brooklyn 3. Klar, sie ist japanisch und hat nicht die besten Mic-Skills, aber dafür was sie kann, werde ich ihr nix von meiner 10er Bewertung abziehen. Gucken, wie es im Main Roster, hoffentlich positiv, weitergeht."
[10.0] "Sie ist einfach Gold wert. Sie besitzt soviel Charisma das sie nicht ein Wort am Mikrofon sagen muss und hat einen einzigartigen In-Ring stil. Sie ist In-Ring mit Abstand die beste im Ring bei der WWE/NXT und wohl auch die Charismatischste. Für mich einer der stärksten All around Perfomer der Welt."
[9.0] "Excellent talent that consistently delivers high quality performances. Great ring work and very charismatic. Weak mic skills due to her poor English is Asuka's only noteworthy flaw, but due to that I can't give her a 10."
[9.0] "Asuka in NXT is incredible! Along with Sasha Banks, she is the best women's wrestler in the United States. While her arsenal relies on a lot of strikes, some of which can seem a bit reductive, it works for her and she elicits attention and carries herself like a star. If I had one qualm about her it's of course her mic skills and while understandable still seem to come off a bit sluggish at times but being a dangerous force she is, this sort of works to her advantage actually. The only reason I can't rate her a 10 is because while she's great in NXT, she also doesn't have too much competition there. Bayely and Ember Moon are the only opponents she's ever faced that can come close to her and those have been too few matches considering how long she's been champion. Nikki Cross was another one where the wrestling was good but she's also not on her level. I might have to change my rating when Asuka comes to the main roster. What works in NXT does NOT always work on TV. That's a fact. Especially with the way she handles an environment that has better women's wrestlers than she's used to 90% of the time in NXT (not necessarily better than her) as well in a much more promo and segment heavy show like SD and especially RAW than NXT is. But as it stands, she's the most dominant woman, really in history that I can recall."
[10.0] "She's the best. I mean, just, what is there to say about her. Sadly, her English still isn't good enough to give a real well developed promo, but that being said, she at least knows how to make something good with the little English she knows. As far as her in ring work? She's stellar. She just has no weaknesses as an in ring performer."
[7.0] "Very compelling when it comes to her storytelling. I have been able to get invested in her work based off facial expressions alone. My only problem with Asuka comes from the fact she's a babyface. The stiff kicks, the submissions, he body language all comes off very heelish. Once that problem is fixed, I will enjoy her work even more."
[9.0] "I've seen nothing but great things from Asuka. She carries herself like a complete badass. She's very charismatic, and has a terrific sense of urgency that makes her ring-work seem absolutely legitimate."
[8.0] "Something about Asuka compels you to watch her. Her colorful outfit, her appearance, her sinister smirk and her striking ability makes her standout among her NXT contemporaries. She's not as stiff as she was in Japan, as the talent pool in NXT is filled with many greener workers, but she still able to fire off convincing offense. The issues seem to be surrounding her character, she bodes well as tweener or heel, rather than a face. She's going always face trouble with a mic, but being miscasted as face, and the lack of skilled competition might stall her in the long run."
[9.0] "Asuka is a force to be reckoned with; with a brilliant character, brilliant facial expressions and great wrestling, Asuka is one of the best women's wrestlers out there, and I cannot wait to see her dominate the main roster soon enough."
[9.0] "One of the best women's wrestlers WWE has ever had - Asuka just gets it. Her charisma, facial expressions, body language are just on point, and she does some little things that add to her matches - and then you get her beast in ring work - her offense is just fantastic."
[6.0] "Pretty lame striking ability if you put her in her actual joshi environment, but she of course seems "amazing" when put alongside people who are actively learning wrestling or were there for modeling purposes/signal boost rather than actual wrestling talent. Besides that, her matches were rather average and her look is rather wacky."
[10.0] "Asuka ist wirklich eine wahnsinns Wrestlerin... Sie ist umwerfend im Ring, das Gimmick passt... Das Problem ist: nachdem die Four Horsewommen aus NXT zum Main Roster gekommen sind, fehlt es ihr sehr an ernsthafter Konkurenz... Also WWE: Asuka ins Main Roster & den NXT Womens Titel an jemanden der nicht so... sagen wir überqualifiziert ist."
[10.0] "Just another level. Incredibly crisp, smooth and fluid. Shows incredible emotion and story with the littliest of gestures. Rightfully so at the top of the mountain right now for womens wrestling."
[9.0] "Without a doubt, the best female wrestler in the WWE. She can carry just about anyone to an entertaining match. Only knock on her at the moment is that they don't quite seem to know what her character is yet in NXT. As a face, she's running the risk of becoming stale, but a heel run seems like it should free her up a bit since it always felt like she was one or a tweener at the very least. Promo skills are whatever, but she works well as a silent or "woman of few words" wrestler."
[7.0] "Asuka is definitely a notch above all the other female wrestlers in WWE. She's good, but I'd be lying if I said she was one of the best wrestlers in the world as her current 9. 39 rating suggests. I never saw Asuka in Japan, which is a shame because I bet she had some great hard hitting matches over there. On what I've seen of her in America it feels like WWE wanted a female 'strong styler', but didn't want to have Asuka injuring all their other female talent (who are newbies and/or possess very limited skills), so they just got her to do moves with a big performance to them but with little actual impact. That's what it feels like with Asuka. She is all talk. Her offence, which everyone gushes about, seems rather tame compared to many other wrestlers, even some in WWE. She has that 'delights in evil' nature going on, as she seems to love both giving and receiving pain. This is meant to play into the whole 'mysterious foreigner' gimmick WWE always does with non-westerners, and is meant to make her look badass. However, Asuka is not a great actor, and whenever she fires up or no sells her injuries it just comes off as cringeworthy because her facials/vocals are far too exaggerated. Ignoring her gimmick (despite how it annoys me), her wrestling skill really is quite good. She has had quite a few good matches and could probably hold her own with plenty of WWE's male wrestlers. She still hasn't had any match I'd consider 'great', but her foundations are at least set for that."
[9.0] "Sehr gute Ausstrahlung, zudem eine ausgezeichnete Technikerin mit tollen Submission-Moves und einem hohen Tempo. Kommt mir manchmal aber etwas zu arrogant rüber. Ändert aber nichts daran, dass sie im Ring sehr viel drauf hat. Benötigt allerdings Gegnerinnen die mithalten können, da sie sich manchmal etwas schwer tut, unfähige Wrestlerinnen zu einem guten Match zu ziehen. Darum einen Punkt abzug."
[10.0] "The best female wrestler in the world, full stop. Puts on awesome matches, oozes both charisma and intimidation (could believably kick most of the male wrestlers' asses), has a great look, and may be the only wrestler to EVER pull off a monster baby-face run successfully. Ladies, this is the bar, get up on your tippytoes."
[10.0] "Kana ist und bleibt eine Marke für sich. Jetzt bei NXT hat sie verdienterweise einen größeren Zuschauerkreis. Wenn die Gegner stark bleiben, kann man sich auf sehr gute Matches freuen."
[8.0] "Asuka is not only the best Women's wrestler in NXT but she is the best women's wrestler in all of wwe currently. Her in ring skills are magnificent and she is one of the stiffest Women's wrestlers i have ever seen. I love the Gimmick, she is just a bad ass Japanese girl who is so eccentric and a little scary at times. I also am in love with her attire. Not only the coolest Women's attire i think i have ever seen but also one of the coolest ever and she is a beauty. I think her mic skills are what brings my rating down a bit considering they are very underwhelming."
[9.0] "Leider kenne ich kein Material aus Japan, sodass ich hier nur ihre Zeit bei NXT bewerten kann. Grandiose Technik verbunden mit einer Aura der Gefahr macht sie zu einer äußerst lieb gewordenen Athletin innerhalb der Women's Division. Das Mic Work ist aufgrund der traditionellen Sprachschwierigkeiten mutmaßlich nie groß vorhanden; dies ist bei einer solchen Workerin aber auch einfach egal."
[10.0] "Asuka ist eine grandiose InRing Performerin, die dazu noch ein unglaubliches Charisma besitzt. Micwork braucht sie dadurch eigentlich gar nicht. Weniger als 10 kann ich ihr einfach nicht geben."
[10.0] "Even in an era when mainstream American wrestling fans are beginning to take women’s grappling more seriously than ever, Kana stands out as an exceptionally fast, brutal and efficient competitor. Though her microphone skills aren’t quite yet up to par – likely a result of English not being her first language – Kana communicates everything she needs to between the ropes."
[7.0] "Arguably the best female worker on the planet. Offense comes swift and hard and she'll snatch any limb that comes near her. What she's missing that you see in some of the horse women is their exceptional in-ring story telling through selling and psychology. She just has to get used to the more American style of sports entertainment rather than just depending on her bad ass offense. Obviously promos are a no go, but she's still managed to get over so I can't really knock her for that. Thought her match with Emma stole that Takeover and was even more entertaining than her title match with Bayley."
[10.0] "ASUKA brings a culture shock of joshi to WWE, up until signing she had done it all, modeling, hair designing, professional graphic designer, professional gamer, worked in almost all the joshi promotions, ran her own shows, worked for AJPW on there playboy sponsered show, worked in NOAH. can not wait to see her dominate the male roster"
[10.0] "Ich kenne keine Frau im Mainstream-Wrestling, die in Sachen Ausstrahlung auch nur ansatzweise an Asuka herankommt. Sie ist over wie Sau, hoffe das wird sich übertragen, wenn sie ins Main Roster wechselt. Über ihre In Ring Skills ist auch alles gesagt worden. Asuka ist absolut Gold wert."
[10.0] "Loved Kana even before she came to WWE and started doing great work there. Brutal offense and very charismatic, even through a language barrier. I hope she will go as far as possible in WWE, I prefer her even to the "Four Horsewomen" on NXT."
[9.0] "Nach Paige mittlerweile zu meiner zweitliebsten Wrestling-Dame geworden... Sie hat wirklich das perfekte etwas, hoffe die WWE macht bei ihr alles richtig. Persönliche Ausstrahlung: Ich stehe ja eigtl mehr auf den Typ Paige, aber irgendwas hat sie verdammt nochmal an sich (10/10 Punkte), das Gimmick ist bisher echt gut, ihr Auftreten samt Kleidungsstil und Gesichtsbemalung top (10/10), eine der besten Moves die ich je bei einer Frau gesehen hab (9/10). Micwork, schwierig zu beurteilen (6/10). Gibt bei mir einen Gesamtwert von 9/10 Punkten."
[8.0] "Asuka. Meiner Meinung die zweitbeste Womens Wrestlerin auf dem Planeten. (Auf dem ersten Platz ist Sasha Banks. ) Sie ist die Queen of Strong Style. Ihre Moves sind extrem sauber und extrem gut, sie hat ein unglaubliches Charisma und eine tolle Ausstrahlung. Es ist zum einen cool dass sie jetzt NXT Womens Champion ist. Zum Anderen ist es doof, da sie deswegen erstmal nicht ins Main Roster kommt. Ich will sie dort definitiv sehen. Wenn sie Ende diesen Jahres ins Main Roster kommt, wäre ein tolle und lange Fehde gegen Paige ein Traum. Man könnte auch Becky Lynch gut dort einbinden. Das sind einfach die drei Frauen mit der längsten und besten Erfahrung. Perfekte Traum Matches. Die 3 komplett verschiedenen Wrestling Styles (Nein nicht AJ ;)) würden sich super ergänzen. Please WWE, do it, do it now and do it right! Abzug gibt es nur durch ihre schlechten Mic Skills. Das ist aber bei Japanern immer ein etwas spezielles Thema. :D"
[10.0] "Asuka/Kana is a fantastic technical and very stiff wrestler. If you add to that a unique look/gear and a huge charisma, you have one of the best worker in the world, regardless of the gender."
[10.0] ""The greatest competitor that ever signed here" - William Regal über Asuka. Er hatte recht! Asuka/Kana ist eine der besten Wrestlerin der Welt und verdient nicht weniger als 10 Punkte!"
[8.0] "Asuka is really great. No suprise there, for most people, but she is. She has a lot of charisma, is a really, and I mean really great performer who is very smooth in the ring. She was adapted well to the enviroment of WWE and I really hope Vince doesn't ruin her when she steps over."
[9.0] "Her work that she has done before signing with WWE should stand on its own. She is a firecracker! Sure, it always helps if you have mic skills but I honestly don't ever see her being much of a talker & personally I prefer her to tell her story in the ring & with those chilling facial expressions. Keeping her in NXT is a good choice right now for a few reasons, one, it allows her to become comfortable with how everything is done here in America. The way they train, the language, the culture, everything is new & I've seen plenty of great wrestlers get called up too quick & not be able to adjust. Two, this gives the "main" roster time to try to get some divas up to her level. There are some ... mostly the "diva revolution" that could face her but I question if they could keep up after awhile. They will need more then Charlotte, Sasha, Becky, & Paige. That round up would get tired of watching after a few months. I just hope WWE doesn't make a joke out of these girls, unlike many from the past these ladies know how to throw down."
[9.0] "asuka is the best wrestler on the nxt roster in my opinion. she has not had many classic matches because she has yet to work with anyone as seasoned as her. We all saw the classic match she had with emma. we also get to see her with bailey. they need to bring in santana garrett full time as well as a few more experienced performers so they can get all they can out of this talent."
[10.0] "The only issue I have with Asuka is my worries about her mic ability. And even if she was horrid on the mic, I'd still rate her a 9, because she's that freakin good in the ring. She a badass in the ring with a badass theme song. If she got some character development, I'm sure she'll be a champion soon."
[10.0] "10 Punkte. Alles andere wäre einfach nur lächerlich. Über die In-Ring-Skills braucht man eigentlich gar nicht zu reden. Asuka im Vergleich zu dem anderen NXT-Diven Gewächs... das ist wie ein Student in der Sonderschule. Die Frau hat ne richtig krasse Ausstrahlung. Dieses durchgeknallte Lächeln gepaart mit der Silent Killer Attitüde, wozu brauch die denn noch Mic-Skills? ! Richtig gut könnte ich mir auch ne Managerin für sie vorstellen, im ähnlichen Stil wie Heyman/Lesnar. Eigentlich muss sie schnell ins Main Roster, weil ihr bei NXT einfach niemand das Wasser reichen kann und Matches gegen Banks, Lynch oder Paige wären zumindest mal interessant und würden dann auch zeigen, zu was Asuka fähig ist. Bis dahin kickt sie halt weiterhin Gurken wie Dana Brooke oder Eva Marie durch den Ring."
[7.0] "Kannte sie vor WWe nicht. Gute Wrestlerin! Wertung wäre vielleicht etwas höher ausgefallen, aber ich mag dieses Arsch-Wrestling einfach nicht. Ich mein, das kann man mal machen, aber es sollte sich nicht durchs Match ziehen"
[10.0] "Of course her work in the ring is a 10. That has been indisputably proven. But some folks on here are wondering whether she'll display any skill on the mic. I say, there have been tons of Divas with absolutely no mic skills who have risen to the top on ability alone (Gail Kim, for instance). Asuka just projects a badass aura. She's a sweetheart to the fans, giving them ample more reason to love her, but when she's in the ring... you just get the feeling you're about to watch the girlfight of a lifetime. No other woman (and not very many men) in the WWE right now project that aura. So we needn't worry about mic skills. One thing I WOULD like to address that nobody else has is that the rest of the Divas in the WWE are going to have to seriously step up their games to hang with Asuka. She's no dainty little model or dancer or cheerleader or Hooters waitress, the type of Diva WWE usually goes for. She's vicious and powerful. It's going to take someone just as vicious and powerful (maybe Paige? ) to match her skill. Here's to a bright future, with a shining legacy already built in."
[9.0] "Eine Japanerin die nicht gut Ausschaut, sondern noch einen extreme Strong & Style Stil in NXT bringt. Wrestling Technisch kann, ihr zu Zeit im NXT Roster niemand was vormachen, die Frage ist leider nur. Sogut wie sie auch ist, wird sie es im Main Roster überleben. 9 Punkte, weil sie noch sich am Mikrofon beweisen muss. Aber ansonnsten Top!"
[10.0] "A excellent wrestler, for male or female. He has the looks of a devastating beast, moves extremely well and can make interesting even the lamest wrestler she fights. There are two things to solve: she doesn't know english and she's reaching old age for a wrestler and is still in NXT. Get her a japanese looking english speaking manager and get her to the main roster ASAP."
[7.0] "I'm really liking this NXT prospect. Exceptional in-ring ability with a good character of her own. Hoping to see more from Asuka as time goes on!"
[10.0] "Plays the gimmick wonderfully... as a woman puts on matches I always enjoy watching her matches. Her unique look really helps get her over. Sadly I didn't see very much of her Japanese stuff and can't grade her work rate in that environment but as an American performer she's been great and I'm still feeling the best is yet to come."
[6.0] "Now this girl is very overrated in ring and she is just terrible on the mic the reason i give her a six is because she is pretty good in ring and i would give her a eight if she was in japan but now she is in wwe and just being good in ring doesn't cut it you have to be good on the mic have charisma and connect she does connect with the nxt crowd and she does deliver in ring but man she is horrible on the mic and here character is so cringe worthy i hope she improves or i dont think she will ever be divas champion or even make it to the main roster"
[7.0] "Hervorragende Wrestlerin die es auch versteht, schwächere Gegnerinnen mitzuziehen. Ihre Promoqualitäten kann man natürlich noch nicht bewerten aber alleine mit Ihrem durchdringenten Blick weiß sie ihre Gegnerinnen zu beeindrucken."
[8.0] "Vorneweg: Lasst euch von der WWE nicht verarschen. Asuka bedeutet nur SEHR frei übersetzt Zukunft (Shorai/Mirai wäre eine genaue Übersetzung für Zukunft nahdistant und ferndistant, respektive). Asuka setzt sich zusammen aus den Kanji für 'morgieger Tag/morgen' und 'Blume', welches auch in ihrem alten Ringnamen enthalten war (Kana = 'berühmte Blume'). Nach dem kleinen Japanisch-Unterricht: Kana ist eine extrem aggressive und körperliche Wrestlerin, welche aufgrund ihrer Statur auch über gute Technik verfügt. Vorallem ihr weites Arsenal an Submissions kann dabei überzeugen. Dazu verfügt sie über realativ glaubhaftes Selling und In-Ring Psychologie. Ihr Manko liegt meiner Meinung nach in ihrer Ausstrahlung - ich nehme ihr ihr Auftreten und Gesichtsbemalung nicht groß ab, auch Interaktionen mit dem Publikum fehlen zugunsten von Realismus. Dadurch allerdings wirkt sie fokussierter auf das Match. Insgesamt natürlich eine formidable Wrestlerin, auf deren weiteren Weg in der WWE ich mich freue. Das einzige, was noch offen ist, sind ihre Promos: Ich habe ein paar ihrer japansichen Promos gesehen, in welchen sie sehr sicher wirkt, und das Publikum in ihrer Hand hat. Ob sie das auch in den USA kann, wird sich zeigen. Allerdings sollte das für sie zu schaffen sein."
[10.0] "Also ich kannte Asuka vorher nicht aber als ich sie in NXT gesehen habe hat sie mich sehr stark beindruckt . Sie ist echte erste Sahne im Ring , das Match bei NXT Takeover Respect muss man gesehen haben sie ist so schnell hat Submissions gezeigt die ich bis jetzt sehr selten gesehen habe , Das StrongStyle hat sie auch drauf . Ihr Gimmick stellt sie als ein Japanisches Zerstörerin dar , was mir sehr gut gefällt , sie kann es gut verkörpern . Ich glaub sie kann noch sehr viel erreichen . Klasse diese Frau"
[8.0] "Asuka ist zweifelsohne stark im Ring, besitzt eine Menge Charisma und ist eine gute Wahl von WWE gewesen. Aber Leute, hier von der derzeit besten Wrestlerin der Welt zu sprechen halte ich bei aller Fairness für weit übertrieben. In meinen Augen kann sie weder Io Shirai noch Kairi Hojo das Wasser reichen, weder hinsichtlich der Ausstrahlung und erst recht nicht wrestlerisch. Mir persönlich gefällt selbst Mayu Iwatani noch besser, wenngleich Asuka hier in der Tat etwas mehr Charisma an den Tag legt. ;-)"
[10.0] "Ich muss zugeben, dass ich sie nicht kannte. Ich gucke normaler Weise keinen japanischen Promotionen wie NJPW oder NOAH, aber diese Asuka ist eine Granate im Ring. Sie hat sehr viel Charisma. Schade, dass die WWE sie nicht ins Main Roster holen will. Sie würde im Main Roster einschalgen wie eine Bombe, da bin ich mir sicher."
[10.0] "Not really sure what to write about Asuka that someone else hasn't already pointed out. Fantastic all around wrestler, always exciting to watch."
[10.0] "Erfahrene japanische Wrestlerin, die zur Abwechslung auch mal ne entsprechende Oberweite besitzt. Absolut verdiente erste SMASH-Championess. UPDATE: Topwahl der WWE, die wohl beste Damenwrestlerin der Welt momentan!"
[10.0] "Ich sah zwar nur 2 Matches von ihr aber diese waren schon sehr beeindruckend. Kana besitzt tolle und vor allem realistische Aufgabegriffe und Bodenkombinationen. Dazu hat sie Kicks die an Geschwindigkeit und Präzision einigen Männern zum Vorbild reichen. Das mir ihr Kleidungsstil gefällt kann ich erwähnen während Aussehen natürlich keine Bedeutung haben sollte. Update: Ihr 3 Minuten Match gegen Cameron vom 4. 11. 2015 zwingt mich die Wertung auf 10 zu erhöhen. Sowas stiffes hab ich nochnie gesehen. Bereits legendär ist die Szene in der sie, statt wie jeder andere einer Ohrfeige auszuweichen, diese nichtnur einsteckt sondern sogar entgegen geht um Cameron in den Armbar zu bekommen. Da bleiben nur 10 Punkte als Bewertung!"
[10.0] "Alter Falter, was ist das denn für eine. Ich bin echt sprachlos. Hab mich vorher noch nie so für japanisches Damenwrestling interessiert (abgesehen von dem einen oder anderen Youtube-Clip), aber sie scheint echt das non-plus-ultra zu sein. Wahnsinnig charismatisch, der wohl beste Theme Song aller Zeiten, eine fantastische Wrestlerin - Gänsehaut! Da wird wohl auch ihre Sprachbarriere kein Hindernis für den Sprung an die Spitze sein. Und die ist verdammt nochmal 34? Die sieht aus wie 20, damn!"
[10.0] "Der Typ hier der ihr 6 Punkte gegeben hat hat offenbar keine Ahnung von wrestling und In-Ring Psychologie ist anscheinend ein Fremdwort für ihn. Falls du das liest: Bitte lösche deinen acc, danke. Diese Frau ist so unfassbar gut im Ring sie besitzt nicht nur wahnsinns submission Moves, nein, sie kann ihre Gegnerin wunderbar durchs Match ziehen, ihre Gegnerin unfassbar gut stark darstellen, hat eine fantastische ring-psychologie, besitzt ein geniales Storytelling und ist kurz gesagt einfach nur grandios. Diese Frau ist aktuell die beste Wrestlerin der Welt, sorry Sasha Banks."
[10.0] "DAS ist eine Wrestlerin. Klasse Technik, dabei genügend kräftig um auch mal kraftvollere Aktionen zu zeigen. Bin total begeistert. Dazu eine total natürliche Ausstrahlung (wenn man mal von den vielen Farben absieht), kein Solariumsixpacksilikonblondchen, eine "richtige Frau". Da können die ganzen Daily Soap Diven im NXT/WWE Roster einpacken. Scheut sich auch nicht mal richtig in die Seile zu gehen. Ich will mich nicht zu weit aus dem Fenster lehnen, aber es würde mich nicht überraschen, wenn ihr eine goldene Zukunft bevorsteht. Allerdings.. Vince und seine Schreiber werden es schon versauen ;)"
[10.0] "One of, if not THE best Joshi wrestler in the world today. After witnessing her matches against Meiko Satomura and Sara Del Rey it was very clear to me that Kana is not only one of the best wrestlers in Japan, but just one of the better and definitely one of the most unappreciated wrestlers in the world."
