[8.0] "Ichiban is my favorite kind of wrestler. He's a little goofy but can also be taken seriously in the ring, which I think makes someone like ichiban very easy to get behind. He's a blessing to have on the northeastern indies. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1"
[8.0] "Ichiban is a very enjoyable athlete, and he can do a lot in the ring. His charisma is through the roof, and he really works his gimmick. MLW is a great place for him, but I'd like to see him rise to Impact or NJPW. He's one of the best guys on the northeastern indies."
[7.0] "Ichiban is a really talented high-flyer and one of the more fun to watch talents in Beyond Wrestling/Wrestling Open. I would love to see him pop-up in the X-Division at some point."
[8.0] "The best in-ring talent on the New England scene of the 2020s and the decade isn't even halfway over yet. Classic fiery babyface wrestling, 90s junior puroresu-inspired high-flying, a little classic ROH and World of Sport grappling added in for good measure, Ichiban not only studied the best but put out the best reports and did the extra credit. Ichiban has the uncanny ability to steal the show with nearly every type of opponent, powerhouses to high fliers, veterans to newcomers. His runs in Test of Strength and Wrestling Open demonstrate he's one of the best indie promotion-carrying workhorses in the industry and it's only a matter of time before he moves onto bigger and bigger stages. He's charismatic with a fun gimmick and a warm connection with the audience, but he's fast approaching the real make-or-break tests of pro wrestling greatness . Early 2020's Ichiban is getting an 8 and I seriously hope that rating increases within the next decade when he steps up to the plate onto the world stage. Number 1!"
