She still can go because 7 is still good however it's not even remotely close to her former self because she's my #16 all time best Wrestler and she will be an easy 10 whenever she retires"

[10.0] "One of the best to ever do it. In her prime (90's) she out worked most and had tons of charisma. She adjusted over time but that is a sign of a true pro!"

[10.0] "Her 1990s AJW matches are fantastic, and as she aged she adjusted her style to adjust to her physical changes. Current day Kyoko is different, but still a great watch for being a masterful crowd worker and for knowing how to work within her limitations. A lot of wrestlers who have been through what she has would have deteriorated to becoming nearly unwatchable (such as current day Aja Kong), but I still enjoy watching Kyoko, and to me, that signals a top-notch pro wrestler. She gets a 10 from for the entirety of her career, though I would understand if someone looked at her regression and docked her points or if they only saw her post-AJW work and felt she deserved a lower score. To me, she's an unsung hero and deserves more credit than she gets."

[10.0] "In her prime, Kyoko Inoue was one of the most talented, hard-working and charismatic figures in all of wrestling. Great combination of strength and agility which allowed to play a variety of roles, and she knew how to get the big responses out of the crowd. While she had gotten noticeably worse with age, it doesn't negate just how awesome she has been."

[9.0] "In her 90s prime, Kyoko Inoue was an excellent, high energy, high workrate wrestler with an abundance of charisma that connected with big crowds and always garnered some of the biggest reactions! Big spots like the giant swing, Niagara Driver and Romero Special had loud receptions. Her sprints with Manami Toyota are a thing of legends. But she also worked incredibly well with heavyweights like Bull Nakano and shooters like Dynamite Kansai and Shinobu Kandori. Always excelled in big tag and trios matches. As the years progressed her workrate sadly declined and she became lazier as she piled on weight. But it doesn't mitgate the fact that Kyoko is one of joshi's all time greats."

[10.0] "I don? t know how she? s not much higher than that. She? s arguably one of the best and most influence wrestlers of all time. She knew how to mix between powerhouse moves and agility. Very charismatic and over with crowd, both as a single wrestler and as a tag team wrestler."
