528.02.2024ImperialUno8.0SANADA isn't perfect, he can be sloppy from time to time and maybe needs an even better crowd connection but despite that he's a great wrestler who has a nice resume of great matches against guys like Okada, Tanahashi, Ibushi etc and it's not only thanks to his opponents because he can really go. I admit he's among my favorites since a while now and is far too underrated among fans, he's actually a great wrestler and is really fluid inside the ring as well as really technically gifted, and can deliver when it's needed like in his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship run which was underrated due to a disappointing booking and a lack of title defenses (and a really boring match against EVIL at Power Struggle) but look at his matches against Okada, Takahashi, Tsuji and even against Naito, he really showed how good he's and doesn't seem out of place as a World Champion, just i hope they will give him a better booked reign and with the departures of White, Ospreay and Okada, they need to create new main event stars and SANADA isn't a bad choice at all.

826.02.2024Lauchlan8.0SANADA is unfairly criticized, although he is not as good as the likes of Naito, Okada and so on that is not what the point is. He has bags of charisma and his singles matches are not always amazing but then that is not a normal thing, he delivers when he needs to and I am glad he got a world title run, he hasn't had the benefit of a great booking team the past year but hopefully in the future he can continue to improve and be more consistent with his singles. Overall though he is a top star and doesn't deserve the hate that he gets.

1716.01.2024skillgull8.0Sanada's puzzling to me. On one hand I can get super invested in his matches but on the other hand he can drag a bit. He has improved in the past year but even still he drags. He is charismatic and decent in ring. He is good, but not great. He had a great title run though.
1814.01.2024GriffinX8.0So thankfully I have to reelevate SANADA after the recreation he went through last year and his run as IWGP champion. For the longest time he was the guy the seemed to have potential but just lacked that spark to get to the next level. He was always very good in the ring no denying that but there is thin lin between wrestling a match and doing moves in a match. Yet when you look back at this run to the through the cup and the title win we finally saw that. Just hope the booking in NJPW gives him more chances ot show just how good he is because it was the booking of him as champion that felt to derail him more than anything

3319.12.2023danzitorock7.0Solid wrestler with a great technicality, but not made for the main event. The guy is definitely above average but doesn't have that extra that it takes to be a main event champion. In my opinion his ring skills and character work are pretty decent, it's just the bar that's too high.
3410.12.2023cosmik debris5.0As technically sound as SANADA is, I find him rather bland and boring, even his most appreciated matches aren't particularly great, and there are many people that do whatever he does but more convincingly and with more charisma. I honestly dont see him as a world champion .

4401.10.2023WOOPS10.0Love this guy so much because he is just so good. His stoic character was pretty rad as is but now he added a bit of champion cockiness which made even cooler in my eyes. Of course SANADA always was a great in ring worker and couple everything with a great look and a great faction in J5G and we have one of more complete wrestlers in all of NJPW. Hope they make him a prominent main event player for years to come.

4726.09.2023LeonHeisenberg025.0Ich bin persönlich (noch) absolut kein Fan von SANADA. Ich finde ihn im Ring zwar ganz okay, aber als Character einfach nur unheimlich langweilig und null besonders. Er bewegt in mir einfach nichts, weshalb ich scharf darauf sein sollte, eines seiner Matches zu gucken. Es wird aber wohl schon seine Gründe haben, weshalb NJPW ihn hat Okada pinnen lassen, wodurch er zum World-Champion geworden ist. Mal schauen, wie er sich weiterhin entwickelt. Vielleicht werde ich ja doch noch irgendwann zum SANADA-Fan.

5121.08.2023Animago8.0Very clean technically, a has a tendency to make his matches drag more than they should. He is generally not the most exciting in-ring, though most of the time he will manage to bring a few truly great sequences of wrtestling which makes his matches still engaging (his finishing stretches in big matches are usually really worth the watch). Character-wise he is likeable enough though he dosn't stand out much. Since leaving LIJ and becoming IWGP World heaviweight champion he has shown interesting an interesting evolution, he is more lethal and has a carefree confidence that is refreshing to see.

6619.07.2023SoundwaveAU5.0One of the most boring wrestlers of all time. He's not particularly good at any aspect of wrestling. He doesn't stink up the joint or anything, but great matches are almost non-existent and even good matches are quite rare. Just the most bland and mediocre wrestler I could think of. The very definition of 5/10 in every possible category.

7129.06.2023NEVERoverweightChampion9.0Last time I gave him an 8, here's what I said in 2019: "SANADA clearly has some potential and he keeps improving but he still lacks something to take the next step. His selling can be awkwardly non-existent sometimes, I don't know if it's due to his "Cold Skull" gimmick wich prevents him to show more emotions. He needs a little more personality, a little more consistency and I think he can be one of the top stars because besides that he has a cool look, some great athletic and technical abilities and has the potential of telling good stories. He is also pretty popular. I don't think we've seen "prime SANADA" yet, hope he can become the star almost everyone sees in him." Fast forward to 2023, and it seems like he finally had a clue and changed things. It's not perfect yet, there is still a few things that I don't like that much about him but he's a great wrestler and makes a great IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. He is refreshing and right now his gimmick is a mix between modern and old school wrestling, leaning a little more on his Keiji Muto influence. He has a much more professional look and Gedo doesn't book him in overly long matches, which plays on his qualities. Even though he opened himself more since leaving LIJ, he still has this kind of stoic feel, I guess that's part of his appeal. But for some it might be the thing that makes him feel weird and harder to connect emotionally.

7815.06.2023packjutney9.0I can understand the criticism that people have for him, specifically during his LIJ run, with the main argument being that he didn't really care, and that his matches weren't for everyone. I totally can see that. That being said, since the move to J5G, he has been a DOG. I haven't watched NJPW consistenly for a long period of time, but since I've started (WK17 and most shows since), he has been a consistent highlight. Now that the company is behind him and presenting him like the star that he is, I think a lot of people are going to change their minds.
7915.06.2023gargoylesmain6.0The embodiment of doing just enough. He's not notably bad, but he doesn't excel at any single aspect of wrestling either. His character work, his promo, his in ring is all middle of the road. Unless he's paired with a worker that can press him, or rally the crowd on his behalf, his matches are often forgettable, monotonous, and lack emotional investment. Sanada is now the champion, and has an overall better presentation since leaving LIJ. The crowd is behind his reinvention, but feels like they will turn quickly if presented a more charismatic rival, such a Tsuji.

8703.05.2023Luna1004.0SANADA is a ok wrestler, a mid carder, he should not go above this, he has moments of greatness, for example his match against Okada in the 2019 G1 was a great match, but his matches in the 2020 G1 were bad, with the only good one being against Yano, ZSJ and Hashi, his match against Naito was the worst of the tournament being 0. 75*, with only point of interest being ruined by a botch, Sanada vs Kenta was almost as bad, although I had less hope for this do to Sanada's horrid match against Naito and KENTA being a terrible wrestler since joining NJPW, the rest of his tournament being just as boring ending on a 3* final he did not deserve, I just did not watch his match against EVIL in Wrestle Kingdom and I am not excited for his match against Kota. I hope he does not become a true main eventer, it would be just as bad if not worse then EVIL becoming one. EDIT: He became the World Champion, and he has not improved enough to be in this position, although his image is much better, nothing else has really changed, and he is still the same horribly dull wrestler.

9218.04.2023coppercowries6.0I certainly prefer this new Sanada presentation than his LIJ iteration. However, the new look and the new belt doesn't change my overall impression of him. His matches linger around the "satisfactory" range, but often dip into tedium. I find him fundamentally sound but dull, often slowly paced. I cannot remember a single Sanada match that I wanted to re-watch, or even remember, at a later time.
9317.04.2023SIRasdf239.0Sanada has always been a good talent, but there seemed to be this limit to what he could achieve in NJPW. He was really close to becoming a Goto-level "Almost Guy" but then something changed. He left LIJ, changed his whole appearance, his whole outlook, he's got a new group backing him up more than LIJ really ever did. And guess what, he finally broke through that limit, and has become the top guy in Japan. Only time will tell if he can become one of the all-time great champions but with this new fire burning inside him, I think he can just do that.

9811.04.2023SoaKas8.0I like Sanada, he has put on so many great matches but everytime he gets a big push, he just doesn't utilize his chance. Look at his G1 29 match against Okada and you see how special he can be. EDIT: He's now the world champ and his presentation is VERY different...I like this new Sanada, let's see how far he can go.
