| 4 | 25.07.2026 | ProfGeruxian | | One of the toughest SOB in ECW and FMW. His matches against Mike Awesome and Hayabusa...wow...just...wow. Bangers. There aren't any other words to describe them, in particular Heatwave 1998. |

| 19 | 27.01.2026 | Khalid Ace | 6.0 | Masato Tanaka hasn't been great in almost four years . Currently, he is just above average but that's about it. He definitely can connect to the fans so that's an important point but his in ring work theses days are the reason I gave him this rating |

| 25 | 17.08.2025 | Oddtalk | 10.0 | Tanaka's one of the unsung GOATs of Japan. He won't be at the forefront in discussions of who was the best in the 90s and 00s over there because of a lack of huge runs in the big promotions, but make no mistake, he deserves to be in the conversation. He's a machine that turns ambivalent first-time watchers into instant fans. |

| 47 | 29.07.2024 | Zak22 | 9.0 | Tanaka took the path least travelled...but most fun. He didn't get big in Inoki's NJPW or Baba's AJPW but instead, Tanaka was made in the 1990s indie revolution on the Japanese scene, carving out a cult following in the west thanks to his time in ECW and the tape trading network. Tanaka has found success on the main stage in NJPW but he'll always be a cult figure. And he deserves all the praise, Tanaka is a tough bastard and he has put on many great matches especially in FMW against Hayabusa and Awesome. He continues to put on good matches. I've also met him and seen him live in London. Could have been an 8 but decided on a 9 because of what he was capable of. |
| 48 | 20.07.2024 | BrettThousand | 10.0 | Probably the toughest, most badass wrestler ever. The fact that he's still going at 50+ years old after everything hes done is frankly insane. His match against Mike Awesome at ECW Heatwave 1998 was legitimately brain altering for me; it acted as my gateway to harder-hitting wrestling than I'd ever seen before |

| 53 | 12.05.2024 | StardomIcon | 9.0 | My review of Masato Tanaka is based on his work in the late 90s and early 2000s between the ECW and FMW promotions. I'll be rating Tanaka using Bret Hart's unofficial system of rating a wrestler by their look, promo, and in-ring ability. Beginning with look, just do a quick search of Masato Tanaka and you'll see he has the look of a wrestler. He looks as tough as Minoru Suzuki while being in great shape despite his age. His forehead is gnarled up as bad as anyone's from blade jobs throughout the decades. Simply put, Tanaka rates very highly on the "people I would never want to be in a wrestling ring with" category. As far as promo goes, I don't recall any Tanaka promos and I'm not sure it matters. Despite the language barrier, Tanaka was able to bring out emotion in any audience that watched him. Example: Mike Awesome would knock Tanaka across the head with several stiff chair shots, only for Tanaka to scream out and ask for more. Moving on to in-ring work, I have no idea how this man is still alive. I have no idea how he survived all those matches in FMW and ECW without serious life-altering injuries. All of Tanaka's strikes and moves looked brutal. There was no fat on his matches and no wasted moments. I always popped for his rolling elbow and especially his Diamond Dust finishing move. Tanaka always gave the fans their money's worth and I don't recall a single Tanaka match I didn't like. In conclusion, Tanaka was/is an amazing wrestler that is truly one of a kind, able to draw out emotions in wrestling fans no matter which language they spoke. |

| 65 | 08.01.2024 | thedman0310 | 10.0 | I'm convinced that Masato Tanaka is not human. He's been wrestling at an extremely high level since the early 90s and has taken abuse that would cripple most men. The Mike Awesome matches alone should have driven him into retirement, but Tanaka is still standing and dropping motherfuckers with the DANGAN ELBOW. |

I don't know how, after all these years and all that he endured, he is still going, and still performing at a high level at the age of 50. While many will acknowledge him as a great hardcore wrestler, and yeah he was awesome in that environment, but he has shown time and time again that this is just a limited label for him. The man is a bonafide legend, and we should feel privileged that we have been able to witness a once in a lifetime talent like him. |

| 97 | 08.06.2022 | Shadow Explosion | 10.0 | For the past 25 years Masato Tanaka has been one of the best wrestlers in the world. There has been zero dip in his workrate since 1997 which is nearly unfathomable seeing as how he took some the grossest chairshots to the head a man can get, he still gets headbutted from time to time, I don't think Masato Tanaka is capable of receiving a concussion, he is not a normal man. But he still keeps going, his fighting spirit is unmatched and his elbows are still as deadly as ever, even if he might overdo it sometimes, he still puts some sauce on those Dangan Elbows. His rivalry with Mike Awesome is still of historical significance even giving one of the best matches to take place at a WWE Produced PPV, that sprint is one of my favorite matches of all time and it's because of the fight Tanaka gives. Masato Tanaka is still one of the best wrestlers in the world. |
