| 3 | 14.04.2024 | cal9099 | 9.0 | A very talented wrestler and storyteller no doubt, but there's something for me that is lacking with Naito when I compare him to the likes of Okada, Tanahashi, Jay White. Maybe it's his mediocre physical appearance? I can't quite put my finger on it as the majority of fans seem to love him, but I've just never quite got the hype. I still get excited for his matches and I do get that big fight feel, but I'm just not as invested in him as I'd like to be despite his long list of great matches. |
| 4 | 13.04.2024 | jameOP81 | 6.0 | If we're talking about Naito's full career, the man is a living, walking, breathing icon. Wonderful wrestler on his day and has had a very fun career thus far. But now? 2024? Naito feels like an old tool that needs replacing sooner rather than later. He can't move like he used to, he can't carry matches like he used to neither. Gave SANADA his best match to date at least, not like that's hard. But his latest IWGP championship run felt more like a stalling pass rather than something NJPW can build off. |

| 7 | 09.04.2024 | Willie 19200 | 9.0 | One of my favorite New Japan stars that I just love to see succeed. The fact that he went from getting the Roman Reigns treatment by getting booed for being an over the top baby face, to becoming one of the greatest anti-heroes in pro wrestling, not to mention putting on some classics with the likes of SANADA, Will Ospreay, Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kota Ibushi, and so many others. |

| 12 | 15.03.2024 | BruceMarcos524 | 10.0 | Tetsuya Naito is one of the most intriguing characters in all of New Japan. The skill, the charm, the charisma is simply undeniable and unmatched. People were rejecting him as the next heroic babyface being too cheesy and too played out. Glad that Naito took it up a notch and became one of the best anti-heroes of wrestling. His matches are very entertaining, and I liked that some of his signature moves named after Spanish female names like Valentia, Esperanza and Gloria. The Destino is one of the most beautiful and smoothest moves that I've ever witnessed, and I never get tired watching it. Most of his moves, his persona and his gesture incorporate a Mexican stereotype without being racial about it. The Los Ingobernables de Japon may considered be as one of the best factions that the NJPW ever produced, and I love that all of the members have distinct individuality, and the same time shows a brotherhood amongst the group. The way that he dresses in an LIJ shirt in undercard tag matches and dresses in a suit in big time matches denotes the level of importance Naito is in every match. A good company man that once criticized Shinsuke Nakamura and Kazuchika Okada for leaving their homegrown company to the big leagues, proved that Naito is a reliable and a dependable guy. I also love that his smug nature highlights himself as more important than the championships he wears, it's like Naito doesn't even care that he's the champion but needed to do so just for the sake of accomplishments. A guy who pokes fun of the opponents and telling his opponents to "Tranquilo" is savagely amazing. One of the best showmen of all-time. |

| 14 | 11.03.2024 | NEVERoverweightChampion | 10.0 | One of the greatest wrestlers of his era with a fascinating underdog character and a lot of charisma. Knows how to put a match together, can work with anyone and is able to move on from the standard New Japan big match formula like he has shown when he fought Jericho in a no DQ or when he fought Taichi in their series of matches in 2019. Has great psychology and is one of the best at pacing his matches. Plays so well with the crowd and is one of the most captivating performer on the mic. The story of his career took a major turn when he became Ingobernable, he has a really unique path. His rivalries with Okada and Tanahashi specifically are some of the best stories ever told in the ring. He has a great career, almost winning every title possible, at this point he has been the biggest star in New Japan for more or less 8 years, has been constantly over and loved by the fans even when the booker made some questionable decisions. Find a wrestler in the current wrestling landscape who manages to stay as over for 8 years, you just can't because this type of connection to the crowd is very unique and that's why he is a special wrestler. Throughout his career he has shown a great ability to adapt his style to the role he was playing. A very explosive style as the Stardust Genius, a slower pace and some cheating/shenanigans during his first year as an Ingobernable. And now at his age and with all the years of work and brutal matches he went through he's not in his prime physically even if he can still go if he really wants to like he has shown with the Okada and Ospreay matches he has done in less than 24 hours during the G1 33. But he fights smarter, finds safer ways for him to work the neck (notably more emphasis on his elbow strikes to the neck) but still remains as over, still gets the same strong reactions from the crowd. Is still one of the best at creating rivalries and giving character interactions that makes the crowd interested. This is how you can see how big of a star he is and how great of a wrestler he is. In an era with more flashy wrestlers who barely know what selling is or how to pace a match properly, his work can be underappreciated and downplayed but the reactions and the love he gets from the fans don't lie. He is a legend and a true genius in the ring. |
| 15 | 09.03.2024 | ultravioletshiroi | 10.0 | He is a great wrestler but also a very cool looking guy who just oozes charisma to me. His moves look solid and his finisher looks devastating. I think I prefer him as a heel. |

| 20 | 26.02.2024 | Lauchlan | 10.0 | Naito will go down in history as one of the best to ever step into a ring, he oozes charisma and backs it up in the ring. Often he has been overshadowed by Okada, Tanahashi and Omega but when push comes to shove he'll be remembered as the guy who never gave up and won the fans over by believing in himself, the peoples champion. |
| 21 | 24.02.2024 | Hyunminlee | 10.0 | Naito is the one of the greatest wrestlers of this generation. When he was stardust boy, his in-ring performances were great but little boring. After gimmik changed and became the leader of LIJ, his in-ring skills upgraded and became best in the world. His LIJ gimmik is coolest gimmick ever. His promo is really fun and he can sell every style of matches. Finally he accomplished his dream which failed at WK 2020, and I hope him to keep his eyes and knees in good condition. |

| 24 | 09.02.2024 | Wrestling Forever | 10.0 | Ich sehe bei Naito aktuell total das er Heel ist. Hat man auch gut bei der Pressekonferenz vom G1 Climax 25 gesehen. Naito war frech, respektlos und hat sich total wie ein Badass benommen. Auch bei seinem Match gegen Fale sah man es. Aggressiv und brutal schlug er auf Fale ein, schubste den Ringrichter weg und war auch genervt als die Kamera ihm nach dem Sieg immer einfing. Stardust ist verschwunden El Ingobernable (Der Widerspenstige) ist geboren. Im Ring ist Naito echt ein super Mann und vielleicht tut ihm der Heelturn auch gut. Edit 25. 12. 2016 Für mich der Japanische Wrestler 2016. Durch Los Ingobernables de Japon und seiner neuen Einstellung ein großartiger Heel geworden. 2017 soll es so weitergehen. Edit 09.02.2024 Tetsuya hat echt nach einigen Jahren wieder eine ganz großen Titel gewonnen. |

| 29 | 17.01.2024 | JXN95 | 9.0 | A very good to great wrestler (if slightly below some of his contemporaries with maybe not being quite as consistent), but an amazing character guy and super charismatic. You pair that with one of the best career narratives around, and there's little wonder why he's still possibly the most over wrestler in japan, and one of my personal favorites ever. |
| 30 | 17.01.2024 | CDProsPro | 10.0 | A story tale ending of 18 years destino paid off at Jan 4th 2024. Ungovernable to the core, rebuild his vision of what no limit is and suppress his class to build Los Ingobernables where Andrade, Rush, La Mascara and La Bestia created controversy on its wake. Numerous factions. Los Ingobernable De Japón. His true family and since then replayed his dream of headlining the Tokyo Dome that he dreamt as a child to roll calling his family that took 8 years of frustration, neglect and despair to overcome injuries, betrayals and typecasting as the guy who cant win the big one in the end. It had been broken and with LIJs new found stardust Ingoverable energy. World title 4 reigns at 41 years old and a define legacy good & bad with the once smashed up and rejuvenated intercontinental title. Naito climbed the mountain to become the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. Battles with the likes of Kenny Omega, Michael Elgin, Kazuchika Okada, Kota Ibushi, Shingo Takagi, Will Ospreay, Hiroshi Tanahashi, KENTA, Hirooki Goto, Kuji Mutoh. Very good in-ring wrestler and can win the big one. Destino. |

When other faces are Tanahashi, Ospreay and Okada, he strikes me as one of the weaker ones. But still, a low tier NJPW main eventer is still an NJPW main eventer, and you do NOT get to that level without being at least "very good". |

His move-set has always been solid despite his finisher being a complete hit or miss kinda ordeal. Kinda never understood his immense popularity in NJPW despite kinda understanding his leading of their most popular faction. |

| 52 | 26.11.2023 | JediSaiyanMaster1203 | 10.0 | Tetsuya Naito's story starts off similarly like The Rock's, debuted with a gimmick that tried to copy people before him, then turned heel after people rejected him at first and became a legend that people couldn't hate anymore LOL! Tetsuya Naito is one of New Japan Pro Wrestling's finest talents of all time, an amazing wrestler with incredible athleticism, flawless technician who can have classic bangers left and right with anyone, having amazing matches with the likes of Kenny Omega, Michael Elgin, Kazuchika Okada, Kota Ibushi, Shingo Takagi, Will Ospreay, Hiroshi Tanahashi (who he copied when he did the "Stardust Genius" gimmick), Shinsuke Nakamura, and so many more I could name. God level charisma, he could stand there and scratch himself and he would receive a Steve Austin level pop from it. Ever since he developed the tranquillo/Ungovernable gimmick, he has showcased he has amazing character work, full of charisma, psychology and storytelling abilities, this man is a god in New Japan for a reason, amazing heel with all the tools that he used to become a big star. |

| 58 | 29.10.2023 | lilroro | 6.0 | Perhaps because of his eye disease, he makes many mistakes in his techniques and is very dangerous. Although he is not very old, he lacks physical strength and is slower than his peers. I'm so disappointed in his current situation because I used to liked him very much |

| 80 | 13.08.2023 | coppercowries | 8.0 | Can be tremendous when he chooses and with the right opponent, but his career has been inconsistent even during his prime years, which are behind him. His tranquilo gimmick will either hit for you or it won't - for me it wore out its welcome years ago, and I fast forward through his excruciating entraces now. But he stays over with the Japanese crowd and has a lot of good will with fans. |

For a couple of years he was the entire package of charisma and physical talent, but even then his matches could be hit or miss, and now his body is pretty beaten down. |
