[10.0] "Tarzan Goto was one of the greatest wrestlers of all time in my opinion. A genuinely terrifying force, Goto brawled all through Japan leaving a captivating trail of violence wherever he went. His broken bottle spot is one of the most horrifying signature spots of any wrestler of all time. Goto just truly felt like a dangerous man, and whenever he entered an arena, both his opponents and the audience were forced to try and survive Goto's madness. In terms of the actual wrestling he did, he's probably one of the best actual wrestlers of the brawling/hardcore genre, being able to put on a clinic with most people. His punches were some of the greatest of all time and were uniquely his own, and his Ghostbuster was one of the gnarliest brainbusters ever, really only topped by Hashimoto, Tenryu, and Mammoth Sasaki. He also was always entirely committed to both giving and taking the violence, as even in his final match in 2018, he was taking bumps into barbed wire boards and thumbtacks. Even outside of active competition, Goto was an absolute legend, being the mentor for a number of critically acclaimed wrestlers such as Hayabusa and Mr. Gannosuke. He even gets a special bonus point from me personally for being the trainer and backer for the "Dynamite Vamp" promotion, an organization created by transgender female wrestler and Goto trainee Reina Ayukawa that had a roster entirely made up of transgender women. All in all, Tarzan Goto was quite possibly the greatest brawler of all time, his contributions outside of the ring reinforce his position as a true legend of pro wrestling, and he will be greatly missed."
[8.0] "Underrated big man brawler from 90's Japan Puro. A big plus for FMW and IWA Japan during the 90s when he easily could have went back to AJPW and have been a major star as a monster heel"
[6.0] "Eher so la-la im Ring, aber hatte zum Glück ab 1990 bei der FMW seine Bestimmung gefunden. Auch wenn er nur die zweite Geige hinter Onita spielen durfte, fand ich seine Matches eigentlich immer besser als die von Onita, da Goto irgendwie realistischer arbeitete. Nach 1995 fand ich ihn allerdings nur noch schwer erträglich und er hatte selten Interesse daran, seinen Gegner auch mal gut aussehen zu lassen."
