"I cannot for the life of me understand how he has so many bad ratings. He is the best comedy wrestler of all time. Absolutely beside myself how bad people can miss the point with this guy. It doesn't even matter which opponent he faces because he always plays his role well."
[9.0] "Rating comedy wrestlers isn't easy, and from a pure wrestling standpoint, this guy is probably about a 4 at best. But other than that, Ichikawa is most definitely my favorite comedy wrestler of all time. He can get a bit repetitive, sure, but he rarely fails to make me smile whenever he graces the ring. His ropewalk is always a pleasure to see, and every time he attempts to dive on a group of opponents before they just walk away as if nothing happened never fails. We all need more Konomama Ichikawa in our lives."
[10.0] "If you don't like Stalker Ichikawa, you don't like fun. He's somehow managed to keep his act fresh for decades, always adding new bits to his routine, and every match I've ever seen him in at the very least gets a smirk or a chuckle, and often a legitimate LOL. The thing is, people mistake him for a bad wrestler, and he isn't! His timing and technique are great; only the *character* is a bad wrestler. How many wrestlers could pull off his recurring bit where he hits a flying headscissors, lands on his feet without harming his opponent, then walks away confused? How many can do his around-the-world ring rope walk? The man can pull off amazing moves in a way that makes him look like an absolute fool, and that takes a lot of talent. The people giving him low ratings have been tricked into believing he's actually terrible just because he's not taken seriously as a character."
[9.0] "Ok hear me out: Stalker Ichikawa is by far my favourite comedy wrestler, not just because of how funny the jokes and routines can be but how he made the art of being actively shit at wrestling an art form. I get it that many people won't see him that way but i feel as if there is a case to be made for his brand of comedy wrestling, to make a current comparison Lulu Pencil feels very Ichikawa coded with her offence but has put a positive spin on it as opposed to playing it up for "haha ain't i pathetic" laughs and feel that this isn't to be scoffed at. An (ironically) strong 9/10 comedy wrestler and will always be a personal favourite, if i had to recommend any match i'll always say vs Yoshihiro Takeyama."
[9.0] "Fantastic comedy wrestler charismatic, funny, great look, great job in Dragon Gate Owarai division. One of the best comedy wrestler in recent memories. My opinion Stalker Ichikawa deserve a better rating!"
[6.0] "One of the greatest comedy wrestlers in the world for sure, his comic charisma is on the unreachable level & his character is quite understandable."
[6.0] "One of the best comedy wrestlers of all time. His schtick has not changed much during the past years, but it is still over and effective, so he doing a fine job for that he is supposed to do."
[9.0] "He's one of the very best comedy wrestlers in the last 20 years. I have little doubt he could do more but why would he when what he does is over as it is and it perfectly fulfils that niche in Dragon Gate? I wouldn't change Hollywood Stalker Ichikawa for the world."
[3.0] "Ein im Ring unterdurschnittlicher Comedyworker, der durchaus Charisma mitbringt und auch zeitweise unterhalten kann, aber nicht auf Dauer. Man muss aber anerkennen, dass sein Look und sein Gimmick ihn herausstechen lassen, unabhängig davon ob man dies nun als positiv oder negativ bewertet. Ich glaube, dass er in DDT oder Osaka Pro (dauerhaft) besser aufgehoben wäre, als bei Dragon Gate."
[5.0] "Ichikawa isn't gonna set the world on fire with his technique any time soon, but he sure is hilarious. So in that sense, he's doing his job well"
[8.0] "An elite fall guy and comedy character that makes his who wrestles offense look fantastic and makes a fun time. If were to ever have a stalker in Hollywood I would liked it would to be at least Hollywood Stalker Itchikawa."
[7.0] "He may be considered the weakest wrestler in the world but when he gets in the ring and pulls his shenninigans no one can keep a straight face."
[3.0] "Im Ring eher unterdurchschnittlich, seine Comedyeinlagen sprechen mich meistens so gar nicht an und der Look sagt mir auch nicht zu. Ichikawa brauche ich nicht wirklich, noch weniger Punkte wären allerdings auch unfair, da es nicht so ist, dass er gar nichts könnte."
