[3.0] "what is chaos? what is its purpose? do they ever act as a faction outside of multimen matches? what is its gimmick? what advantages does it bring to a wrestler joining them? is a wrestler's affiliation to the stable ever addressed in a meaningful context? all questions with no answers. absolutely pointless stable that just serves to sell some more merch"

[8.0] "This is a classic but really messy several times faction. CHAOS didn't really felt or worked like a stable a lot of times and doesn't have the strong identity that other stables in New Japan have. The beginning was great and then after Nakamura left kind of became a designation to call a bunch of face people by one name."

[5.0] "I fucking love New Japan and I even love most of the guys in that faction but holy shit it's really the worst stable ever. NONE of those guys have really had a group-like interaction in YEARS. At this point they're nearly the same as Hontai but even they are better. Compare them with LIJ, UE, TMDK, J5G and you realise how bad they've become"

[5.0] "CHAOS is a mess we have had over a dozen members come through Chaos at some point and I say they need to clean out their closet, Keep Okada, ISHII, Goto, YOSHI-HASHI and some of their juniors and you have a solid stable, But now I have no clue who else is in that stable, Is Lio Rush still in it? You have the best friends from AEW in it i guess? it is just a generic babyface stable with no real meaning as to why they are all together. They should either disband or get rid of some members because it is one big Cluster F."

[7.0] "A faction that as of 2023 doesn't really feel like it serves much of a purpose anymore. 15 years is a lot time in wrestling, but the last 5-7 years of this faction in particular have felt really stale. You had the Jay White inclusion in 2018 which just made Okada look like an idiot, and then the revolving door of guys ever since the pandemic. NJPW could do with a freshening up of their stables."

[5.0] "Kinda ill-fitting to call this a faction. It's more a defacto lumping of wrestlers who don't really fit anywhere else. CHAOS is never really treated as a cohesive unit, with some members that have little to nothing to do with each other."

[8.0] "Good faction because of how it is used and booked. Under Nakamura as heels was the top NJPW heels until Bullet Club forced the group to go face and the new leader Okada emerged. Okada, Ishii, Goto all starred in while being kept strong by using the other members taking falls most of the time."
PavelDragunov wrote on 30.09.2022:
[7.0] "A classic grouping in Japan where everything revolves around the main ace. Kazuchika Okada is probably the only one who can still keep this team together, most often this tandem serves as a transitional springboard for fighters who are very likely to go into opposition to Okada and now we are faced with this tradition more and more often. As a result, only Okada himself or the fighters for whom there are no special plans in the future remain in it. Rather, this grouping serves as an opposition to all the evil in the company, but it is the good that most often represents the originals of NJPW from a long time ago."
Dogo763 wrote on 27.06.2022:
[7.0] "A top faction in New Japan that's kind of in a weird spot right now. Okada is the ace per usual but the faction isn't really the focus at the moment. Even the American side of CHAOS is kind of in a similar situation."

[5.0] "Kind of a pointless faction. It seems like just a cheap excuse to sell t shirts with the CHAOS branding on them. It seems like a third of the NJPW roster is in CHAOS."
GriffinX wrote on 26.01.2022:
[8.0] "CHAOS these days is in name only. Newer fans may not even get it was a full on separate faction from the "Main Unit" it would be nice to see it get back that. But that part of the issue with modern New Japan. Bullet Club are the big villain group other groups aren't. Like any stable that is around a long time they have had some not so good members. But they have also have many great ones. But yeah CHAOS was truly something special years ago and I hope newer fans go into the archive to see how different it was"

[2.0] "Their is no point to them any more as they don't even feud with Main Unit anymore, in fact they regularly team with so much, that they put Eagles and Tiger Mask together for the Junior Tag Tournament and I didn't realise that Eagles was in Chaos."

[4.0] "2021 ist CHAOS wirklich nur noch eine Hülle für einige talentierte Wrestler. Sie haben keinen USP, kein eigenes Gimmick, keinen eigenen Vibe, sondern wrestlen einfach nur unter diesem Banner. Wird Zeit für neues Leben."
Dooby wrote on 15.01.2021:
[4.0] "What is even the point of this stable anymore? It used to be menacing under heel Nakamura, even after he started going tweener, the faction still felt like a dominant faction of talented guys. After Nakamura left though it's literally just become Okada and friends. Add on that they regularly team with the neutral guys which completely defeats the purpose of this stable in the first place? Just bury this carcass of a faction already."
medouse wrote on 13.12.2020:
[8.0] "My rating is based on their whole career. They used to be 10/10 now they are pretty much only a half of that scoring, so let's just give them an average score - 8/10. CHAOS is still one of the most recognizable group in professional wrestling and one of the strongest factions in NJPW. However, they lost many great talents and now they seem to be standing in place. They don't do anything exciting anymore. Other factions take the advantage of them and CHAOS is pretty much jobbing now. Anyways, great faction and great piece of history."
EUJBFTY wrote on 23.07.2020:
[4.0] "I barely even consider them a faction in 2020. Unlike the other factions, CHAOS has no sense of cohesion between them and is more of a assortment of random babyfaces more than an actual faction. You could make the case that they have some of the best wrestlers (which is true), but for every Kazuchika Okada and Tomohiro Ishii, there's a Mikey Nicholls and Yoshi Hashi."
Ma Stump Puller wrote on 14.04.2020:
[7.0] "Were a LOT better when they were heels under Shinsuke and Okada. Now they barely are a thing anymore and don't feel like a stable at all apart from when Toru Yano gets them all together to do another DVD and forgettable tag matches."

[10.0] "Komisch ich habe CHAOS doch mal bewerten. Also diesen Stable gibt es schon so lange. Da weiß man nicht sind die jetzt Heel oder Face oder Tweener. Jedenfalls die aktuelle Version hat unfassbare Qualität und durch Will und Robbie Einstieg kam die nochmal dazu gerade durch Will."

[6.0] "This I would not call a stable, like others have said it's the generic babyface stable, it doesn't have any actual tag teams in it other than R3K I believe"
NEVERoverweightChampion wrote on 06.07.2019:
[8.0] "A faction with a lot of great wrestlers but it never felt the same after its founder Shinsuke Nakamura left. The faction was perfect with The King Of Strong Style and The Rainmaker on top. It's still a very good faction but it has lost some of its magic and is maybe too open for everyone these days. At least the last addition (Robbie Eagles) has been done with a story behind it."
WrestlingGuru wrote on 06.06.2019:
[7.0] "To me the weakest of New Japan's big stables, might be because it's a face stable and they never work as well as heel stables. A lot of talent here but they just don't feel like a team."
PuroresuLover wrote on 13.05.2019:
[8.0] "CHAOS is my favorite Stable in NJPW for a reason: They have great workers like Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto, Will Ospreay, Roppongi 3K, YOSHI-HASHI and Kazuchika Okada. Their dominance in the beginning of 2018 was awesome alongside with their feud with Los Ingobernables de Japon! CHAOS is the most consistent Stable in NJPW and no one can deny that."
ohnoes wrote on 09.02.2019:
[6.0] "While CHAOS is full of excellent talent and has some interesting history from its beginning, I haven't really ever been excited for CHAOS as a stable. I'm not sure what kind of statement current CHAOS wants to make, or what goals they set, or what their purpose is. Maybe it's to keep selling merch with the logo on it? Maybe so Yano can keep selling DVDs? If CHAOS were to disband, I'm pretty sure it'd be business as usual and forgotten about in relatively short time. That is, unless, the 'mole' storyline is brought back, which could make for some exciting new developments as a stable."
KING wrote on 09.11.2018:
[6.0] "Like the previous comment states, CHAOS is filled with top level workers, Okada, Goto, Ospreay, Ishii and the list goes on but they don't feel like a group since they turned face in 2013. Founded by Nakamura, they were initially NJPW's top heel stable, but they were just so many and so different, it just looks like wrestlers of the same alignment (face of heel) teaming up together very often, the sensation is heavier since Okada joined the stable, who had two leaders for years and replaced Nakamura with Goto, who joined after many battles with Okada, they just seem to not have anything in common, Yano is a comedy act but Ishii is a badass, while Okada is the ace of the company, too different, but I guess that's what happens when a stable lasts for 10 years"
Headlock wrote on 01.05.2018:
[7.0] "9 Jahre und kein Ende in Sicht, ist sehr lang für ein stable und CHAOS war auch nicht immer gut allerdings sind sie eine gute konstante im New Japan stable System. Was mir an CHAOS sehr gefällt ist das sich das Image des Stables immer weiterentwickelt. Anfangs noch eine Gruppierung die denn Strong Style zurück bringen will entwickelt sie sich immer mehr zur definition des wortes "Sleaze" und dann wurden sie zur 2ten Sekigun. Was mir nicht so gefällt ist das CHAOS sich kaum noch wie ein Stable anfühlt und mehr wie ein Brand ansonsten geht der Stable klar."
Sebastian V wrote on 11.04.2018:
[8.0] "Chaos ist im Ring absolut auf einem Niveau mit Bullet Club. Die besten Wrestler der Welt in mehreren Divisions, suppoorting Acts auf gutem Niveau und gutes Zusammenspiel in Tag Matches. Deswegen auch hier 9 Punkte. Bei den Stories und der Ausstrahlung des Gesamtstables zeigt sich ein großes Problem von so großen Stables: Die Zersplitterung, die teilweise verwirrend sein kann. Dennoch macht Chaos natürlich absolut was her, alleine weil sie einen Gegenpol zu Bullet Club bilden mit einem ringkampfingen Ansatz. Leider passiert aber teilweise etwas wenig. Insgesamt gebe ich Chaos also in diesem ganzen Bereich 7 Punkte. Insgesamt 8 Punkte für Chaos. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass bei diesem Stable nicht das volle Potential genutzt wird."

[7.0] "CHAOS has some of the best wrestlers in the world. Okada is already the absolute GOAT, Ishii and Ospreay are easy calls for top 10 wrestlers in the world, and Sho and Yoh are an exciting up and coming junior team. However, as a stable they aren't very cohesive. It's relatively unclear what reason they have to join together and what reason they hang out. They don't exactly have similar wrestling styles or mentalities, so even though they may appear on the same side of the ring it is often unclear why that is so. Undoubtedly they have some great matches, especially against LIJ. It's simply that lack of obvious cohesion that holds me back from considering them a truly great stable. There's also of course the issue of the usual uninteresting members such as Yoshi-Hashi, Yano, Jado, Gedo, and even to some extent Goto. They can often hold back the stable during the multi-man tag matches by being so incomparable to the skill of the previously mentioned CHAOS members. Were some of the deadweight cut-out and a proper stable direction established then I could definitely appreciate CHAOS a lot more. As it stands though the stable is merely a good stable, albeit with some of the greatest wrestlers in the world"

[9.0] "Kann ein Stable mit sowohl einem genialen HighFlyer in Ospreay, dem Harnest Hitting SoaB Ishii und dem Besten Wrestler der Welt überhaupt schlecht sein? Nein, eigentlich nicht und Chaos ist einfach ein geniales Stable. Sie arbeiten ohne viele Eingriffe und haben in allen Bereichen unterschiedliche Charakterauszüge. Vor dem BC und nach den LIJ das Beste Stable Japans. 9 Zähler."

[9.0] "CHAOS is a pretty ingenious idea by NJPW. CHAOS is a coalition of wrestlers teaming together, which gives them a reason to team together along with explaining character motivation being of respect between stablemates in a match or being a heel against none stablemates, CHAOS is great for story telling"

[10.0] "The greatest stable. As of writing they have the IWGP Heavy champ, the IWGP IC champ and the NEVER title. They have the bookers of NJPW. They have a great comedy heel tag team. They have entertainers in every spot. Who knows what their motivation is or where they'll go. If they keep together, I'll always shout for CHAOS."

[9.0] "This long time stable of New Japan has some of the most over wrestlers in the industry and some of the biggest shit bags in the industry of wrestling. Starting in 2009, Shinsuke Nakamura leads this large stable that plays the prominent bad guys of Puroresu."

[8.0] "Kann ein Stable mit Okada und Nakamura schlecht sein? Natürlich nicht. Aber es gibt hier doch tatsächlich einige Wrestler, die mich eher wenig tangieren. Dazu sind Leute wie Naito, Bernhard und Anderson auch kein Teil der Gruppierung mehr. Ich sehe für die Zukunft wenige Dinge, die mich im Zusammenhang mit diesem Stable wirklich packen könnten, außer natürlich ein eventuelles Aufeinandertreffen von Nakamura und Okada. Das wäre Awesome und ich hoffe, dazu kommt es 2014 nochmal um den ganz großen Titel. Chaos ist in meiner Gunst hinter suzuki-gun tatsächlich nur die Nr. 2."
