[5.0] "Manabu Soya is actually better than the rating I have for him when it comes to his entire career, however because I judge wrestlers based on their current form he is only a five and I believe that is enough because for the past two years he has been underwhelming"

[10.0] "a great tag wrestler in Get Wild with Takao Omori during both of their stints in AJPW , Soya provides great ring leadership and experience to lead matches with younger , greener talent , i genuinely don't see why NOAH or any other company at that haven't pulled the trigger on Soya and made him a main piece in their promotion"

[10.0] "Soya has proven over the past year that he will be a great wrestler. This score is given as a fan to show that he has proven his worth. Keep it up! As Soya's prime years are approaching their end, NOAH will eventually give you a title. I hope that day doesnt come too late!"

[10.0] "one of my favorite wrestlers, he is very good in the ring and puts on great matches. His association with kenoh is excellent and he is far too underrated."

[8.0] "Manabu Soya is probably the most underrated mid-carder among those who have to constantly own some minor championships, and once every five years try to take possession of something more. He's big, he's mobile, he looks interesting and memorable, he has very charismatic eyes, and I love the moments when a fire lights up in them and he becomes a machine. Unfortunately, he can't reveal even half of the potential that he has, because of his precarious status, which does't allow him to win too often, Manabu, having such dimensions, is guaranteed to be the person who will eat a pin if there is no Junior in the match. Nevertheless, over the past year he managed to be remembered for some interesting things, and I decided to raise his rating. It's incredibly disappointing that for more than 10 years no one wanted to write any comment about him."
