| 8 | 10.04.2024 | itscalledtaylorham | 9.0 | There was once a time where Ibushi was genuinely one of the best wrestlers on the planet, and while that's no longer the case, it's ridiculous that people here are only judging him for what he is now. Sure, his work in AEW has been terrible, but watch his NJPW matches and you'll see how unebelievably athletic and talented Ibushi was. |

| 13 | 31.03.2024 | Oddtalk | 9.0 | Ibushi's gonna wrestle until he dies, which will probably affect peoples' perception of him if they never saw his earlier work. But make no mistake, for a stretch of a decade plus, he was one of the best cruiserweights in the world, known for his freakish athleticism. Even if he continues to wrestle after his body can no longer keep up with him, it won't change the fact that he's put on so many classics, most wrestlers with an equally long career won't be able to do even half as many. |

| 20 | 05.03.2024 | benny5bellys | 8.0 | It is somewhat insane to read peoples comments here basing their reviews on the few WWE/AEW matches he has had including one purely from the Blood and Guts match. Has Ibushi fallen off a cliff the past few years? Absolutely. This is not the first time a great wrestler has completely dropped off like that. In his day in both DDT and NJPW, he was one of the most cutting edge performers around. His style is not always to my taste hence an 8 but you can't deny he was very good. |

| 22 | 03.03.2024 | bigfanbigfan | 0.0 | I think now that his body is falling apart it's far easier to see how much his work lacked substance. He was a kick guy in the 2000s when that's all it took to get over. Now would be the time for him to focus on storytelling and building to bigger spots, instead he's trying to have the same matches at a fraction of the speed and none of the effort. |
| 23 | 24.02.2024 | BillyBobJoe3 | 3.0 | I only watch WWE and AEW and I'm sure he has done great work in NJPW but from what I've seen of him in AEW he properly has one of the weakest chops ever. It's like he didn't even try to make it look like it connect it was so bad my family and I started laughing. I hope I'm proven wrong and all the hype is true but from what I saw he's mid at best. |

| 26 | 15.02.2024 | Cakeboyo | 6.0 | Kota Ibushi is a man who has been brought up as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. But his current AEW run has squandered his potential significantly. I've seen some of his best stuff in the cruiserweight classic, New Japan of course, but I really feel like he's at the end of his rope. I believe his retirement is almost imminent and with all the hard hitting matches he's had all those years ago are taking a toll on his body. I'm giving him a six for now. I hope he can improve and actually give a shit about being in AEW. |

| 41 | 13.01.2024 | The Quick Man | 8.0 | It feels painful to not give Ibushi a 9 or even a 10 but I feel like the performances of the past year or two which have mostly been pretty bad counteract the decade of 9 and 10-worthy performances. Still, I'll be generous and keep him at an 8 for now... as long as he either retires or FINALLY gets the surgery that probably could've prevented such embarassing displays as his match with Marufuji that kicked off and probably ended 2024 for him at the same time. |
| 42 | 04.01.2024 | coppercowries | 9.0 | Freakish in ring athlete, was half of my favorite storyline ever. But when he isn't paired with someone more bombastic than himself he struggles to sell a narrative. Waiting on his return from his shoulder injury and hope he recovers completely. Edit 2024 - Ibushi's refusal to get surgical correction and proper rehab has destroyed his body and hopes of returning as anything but a morbid shadow of the man he used to be. I have never seen a more startling decline. |

Sadly, people do not remain in their prime forever, and Ibushi is a shadow of the wrestler he once was. If you have only seen Kota Ibushi's post-NJPW work, you have not seen Kota Ibushi. But I refuse to give this man anything less than a ten, even as I've rated his most recent match with Marufuji (02.01.24) a zero. |

| 50 | 14.12.2023 | cosmik debris | 7.0 | Amazing performer when put against the right opponent. Rather dull when not. His offense is visually incredible at times and his execution often flawless. His selling is non-existent which brings my rating down a notch. He has a weird charisma - and this is meant in a good way - but nowhere near the level of the Naitos, Tanahashis and Okadas of this world. Overall, a performer capable of having ***** matches in the right circumstance, but I dont believe he's an all time great, especially considering how stacked the NJPW generation he grew up in was. Sad to see him broken down from injuries, at his peak he could have shined in AEW |

| 59 | 26.11.2023 | JediSaiyanMaster1203 | 10.0 | Kota Ibushi is one of the all time best in ring performers of all time, it could make any performer jealous that they will never be as good as Kota in the ring. Kota Ibushi's athelticism is hard to wrap your head around, he makes every move look simple to do and not difficult in the slightest, no matter what move he does. Incredible high flyer, can do realistic looking MMA style wrestling as well, very good technician, also a fun "spot fest" wrestler when he wrestles those type of wrestlers, Kota is very versatile and can do any style of match you give him the task to do. His best work, in my opinion, is easily the Golden Lovers tag team, one of the all time best tag teams in the wrestling business no matter what era, natural chemistry with nice double team moves, have told incredible stories in the ring together, their match with The Young Bucks in 2018 is easily a top 10 tag team match of all time, 2018 was their best year, added bonus for the best LGBT+ representation, nice to see it in an industry that's, unfortunately, dominated by toxic masculinity. Overall, Kota Ibushi is easily among the best in ring performers of all time, The Golden Lovers are among the best tag teams ever, Kota is the man, despite he's kinda slowing down these days, but his work still speaks for itself. |

| 61 | 18.11.2023 | ti636 | 6.0 | I'm disappointed in him now. It's body is so heavy that I can't bear to look at it. It's so sad seeing it in its heyday. He seems to be isolated because he can't keep up with the level of AEW matches. It's probably not because he's getting older, but because of mental anxiety. I wonder what a great match we could have watched if we could have used a time machine to bring him back in the past. |

| 78 | 08.09.2023 | Leone | 10.0 | From 2007 to 2021, Kota Ibushi was an unbelievable high flyer & striker. Absolutely unbelievable. He had some of the best reversals and sequences I have ever seen in professional wrestling. He was easily 1 of the best wrestlers in DDT, and has gone on to craft an incredible legacy within puroresu. To go along with his in-ring abilities, he was also very strong for his size, became a great storyteller as he got older, has some very good technical wrestling skills, and as far as "the look" is concerned, he looks like a J-Rock star. As of 2023, the future is uncertain. At 41, some could argue that he's past his prime, & that the shoulder injury in the G1 2021 finals was literally the end of his main event career. He has had some excellent multi-man matches, but he was far from the most memorable part in them. Hopefully he just needs some time to fully heal & breakthrough the obstacles - but if it doesn't work out, he still left his mark. |
| 79 | 04.09.2023 | CorpusSkiptotelicum | 8.0 | He's looked pretty cooked since returning to the ring following his unfortunate injury, but that shouldnt diminish how good he was back in the day. He started as a crazy spot monkey but gradually added things to his game, also becoming one of the deadliest strikers in Wrestling history. He adjusted his style to the njpw heavyweight matches and thrived there. There were always holes in his game though, he's a very poor long term seller and he usually needs someone like Tanahashi or Omega to tell a complete story in the ring. Its kind of interesting how he was seen as the more talented one out of the Golden Lovers, but when its all set and done, Kenny will have ended up with the more complete and impactful career. Of course he cant go like he used to, but I hope he sees this and transitions into a pure striker, I'm sure he can continue having great matches like that. |

| 84 | 30.07.2023 | Shoot Headbutt Lover | 10.0 | It's hard to describe how much of an amazing all round talent Ibushi is. He literally can do it all, and he will do it all. He's an amazing high flyer, the height and speed he attains is breathtaking. He's a great Striker (maybe not recently) but he would just beat the shit outta people with kicks & punches. He's also a neck bump master, and as a connoisseur of neck bumps, I love that he's crazy enough to take that shit. That time he took a Burning Hammer in WWE in one of the craziest moments in the company. |

| 88 | 20.07.2023 | Your opinion was bad | | No clue why someone rated Kota during the Blood and Guts match like that's the first time they've ever seen him. And if it is the first time they've seen Kota Ibushi, should prob just go watch WWE lmao. But yeah, all time legend. AJ coming to Japan really but all these now legends over and give them a global name. Kota ibushi was one of if not best worker in that match yesterday, atleast 1 of the top 2. |

| 91 | 20.07.2023 | Ozzy | 4.0 | Im watching him here in the AEW blood and guts match, and this guy absolutely sucks, he litterally just kicks and ocassionally punches, walks up to someone in a submission, waits a solid 3 seconds kicks them and they sell it like it did something, his punches are lackluster, man is just slow and clunky, where the one good thing he did in that whole match was just a single moonsault onto Mox on the bed of nails. He is lucky that moonsault looked ok, or he woudlve gotten like a 2 |
| 92 | 15.07.2023 | GoldenIcebox | 10.0 | Kota Ibushi is one of my favourite wrestlers ever. There is this spark to him that not a lot of people in the business have, there is a certain uniqueness to him and his ability to seamlessly mix Shooto and stiff striking with some of the most graceful high-flying maneuvers everand that Phoenix Splash is irresistible. While most were introduced to Kota through Kenny, it was the opposite for me. I have personally considered him better than Kenny, for the simple fact that he can do some things Omega just cannot. Their match at Budokan Peter Pan is a highlight of that, and my first exposure to Kota. Other personal favourites include vs. HARASHIMA at the first Peter Pan in 2009, The three-way KO-D Tag Title match, Ibushi & Marufuji vs. KENTA & Ishimori, Tiger Mask W vs. Okada at NJPW 45th Anniversary, vs. Hangman Page on ROH television in 2018, and vs. Yoshihiko at a DDT event in 2015(a.k.a the match where Kota wrestles a blow-up doll). Update: I will be there for Blood and Guts, it will be Golden. |

| 96 | 13.07.2023 | dinside | 8.0 | Sports Entertainment - AEW Version Wichige Storylines mit Chris Jericho / Don Callis, MJF / Adam Cole und Elite gegen BCC im Focus. Alle haben genug Zeit bekommen, die ersteren öfter in der Show, Elite mit dem Bang zum Schluss. Wrestlerisch hatten wir Chris Jericho der gut durch das Match gezogen wurde und Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament Semi Final Match 1 das bei der Crowd nicht gezogen hat als Lowlights. Das Owen Hart Foundation 2023 Women's Tournament Semi Final Match war ok für die Zeit die sie bekommen haben. Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament Semi Final Match 2 war ganz großes Sports Entertainment. Swerve Strickland gegen Nick Wayne war mein Highlight, aber auf dem falschen Spot der Card. Und Harley Cameron - das Video. So Over the Top das man kaum mitbekommt, wie gut das wirklich ist. |
