[9.0] "Yuzuki is very good, especially when considering experience. Great babyface tendencies. The issue with her is that she can get too ambitious at times. She thinks she's more athletic than she is and that can and does lead to botches. If she can figure out her limits, we could be looking at a BITW level talent."
[10.0] "Easily the best up and comer in Japan, the future ace of whatever company she walks into, already a top 10 wrestler in the world. I have never seen a wrestler with such a strong understanding so young, she just gets it fully, no wonder she is Mayu's protoge she is exactly like her and when she eventually beats Mayu for a title it will be a true passing the torch moment from best womens wrestler in the world to the future best in the world."
[8.0] "Someone who can play the underdog role very well, and considering her current potential and age, it makes what she's doing right now even better. Yuzuki has a bright future with many more chances to grow from here. A lot of her remarkable matches against notable joshi names and seasoned veterans have already stamped her career, putting her in a great spot to carry the future generation of joshi."
[9.0] "She's starting to come into her own now. The matches I have seen from her lately her confidence and the way she moves is extremely noticeable. I'm not sure what led me to gravitate towards Yuzuki, but I'm a big fan of hers. You are starting to see the vision as to why she will be a big part of the future of Joshi wrestling, but the present too."
[7.0] "Let's be real -- the rookie scene in Marigold right now is rough. We're talking about a division where most newcomers are barely scraping by with "passable" performances. A lot of them are green, inconsistent, and in many cases, painfully generic. But thank the wrestling gods for Victoria Yuzuki. Alongside Seri Yamaoka, she's one of the very few rookies in the company who actually feels like she belongs in a ring, and not just like someone who wandered in from a local drama club looking to cosplay a wrestler. Now, to be clear, Victoria's not a finished product. A 7.0 rating isn't some overblown praise -- it's exactly where she should be right now. She's solid. Not elite yet. Not someone you're building a company around today. But she's good enough that you watch her and think, "Yeah, I wanna see where this goes in a year or two." And in a rookie class as shallow as Marigold's, that's a big damn deal. The first thing you notice with Victoria is her presence. She carries herself like she belongs, which is more than can be said for half the roster's younger talents. She doesn't fumble around or look confused about what comes next -- there's confidence in her stride and in her body language. Whether she's eating offense or delivering it, she looks engaged. That alone sets her apart. Her offense has some real polish. It's not flashy for the sake of being flashy, but it's clean. Her strikes are crisp, her execution is tight, and she's not afraid to mix in a bit of aggression -- which is sorely needed in a product where a lot of rookies hit like they're afraid to leave a bruise. Victoria doesn't have that problem. When she fires off a forearm, it means something. Also, her ring psychology? It's not main-event level, but for a rookie, it's shockingly decent. She knows when to slow things down, when to sell, and when to fire back. She's not just going through the motions; she's actually working the match. That's something you can't teach in a crash course -- it shows she has a brain for the business and a natural feel for rhythm and pacing. And can we talk about how adaptable she is? Whether she's paired with more experienced talent or stuck in a rookie-vs-rookie match (which, let's be honest, are often borderline painful), she doesn't drag things down. If anything, she's the glue holding the whole thing together. You can trust her to elevate a match rather than just survive it. That's huge. Now, she's not perfect. Let's not pretend she's the second coming of Utami Hayashishita -- at least not yet. Victoria still has a lot of work to do. First off, her promo work is a bit bland. She doesn't project that must-see personality when she's on the mic or even during pre-match interviews. There's confidence in her wrestling, sure, but she hasn't really carved out a character yet. Right now she's "rookie with potential, " and that's fine... but if she wants to break out, she's going to need something more distinctive. A signature attitude, a look, a voice -- something that makes her pop. She also has moments where you can see the inexperience creep in. Slight hesitation before spots. Minor positioning issues. Occasional missed timing when the pace ramps up. Nothing egregious -- she's not botch-prone -- but the polish isn't all the way there yet. It's stuff that'll probably smooth out with more reps, but it's worth noting that she's not immune to rookie mistakes. Another fair criticism is that her matches can sometimes feel "safe." Not bad, just... routine. Like she's playing by the book and hasn't fully figured out how to inject her own flavor into things. She does all the right stuff, but she hasn't found that spark yet that makes you say, "This is a Victoria Yuzuki match." Hopefully that comes with confidence and time, because right now, she's good -- but not unforgettable. So.... Let's be blunt: Victoria Yuzuki and Seri Yamaoka are holding this rookie division together with duct tape and sheer will. The rest of the class ranges from "meh" to "please stop putting her on my screen, " so the fact that Victoria consistently delivers competent, engaging performances? That's massive. It wouldn't be surprising if the company starts building midcard feuds around her soon, especially as the rest of the rookies lag behind. She's the kind of talent you can use to test others, stick someone new in the ring with Victoria and see if they sink or swim. That's not a role every rookie can handle, but she's already dependable enough to be trusted with it. And long-term? She could absolutely be a cornerstone of the women's division -- not necessarily a top star, but a reliable, compelling upper-midcarder who can be trusted to anchor title matches and elevate newer talent. If she does find that extra gear, that missing piece of her character puzzle, there's even potential for more."
[10.0] "A big surprise, so few months of training and already very good in the ring. I love her Facecrusher! On top of that, she is very expressive and makes us experience her match. Excellent rookie! I give her 8 for the speed of her progress. Sky is the limit ! (written on 08.01.2024)"
[10.0] "She is a very talented wrestler; I was very surprised after watching a few Marigold shows to find out she has only just now got a year of experience. She has a bright future ahead of her, she caught my eye early and then went on to be the only one to pin Giulia in her farewell match was another good indicator Victoria Yuzuki is one to watch. She really is the number 1!"
[10.0] "Victoria Yuzuki is my favorite wrestler right now and in my honest opinion she has everything you want in a top-tier talent and she's only 20 years old with a little more than 1 year experience. She's the best rookie in the scene today and I don't think it's particularly close. Whether it's her athleticism or the way she carries herself, she just has it. Self-labeled future ace for a reason and her 2025 is up with a great start."
[8.0] "I'm so excited to follow Yuzuki's career. She's already made great strides from her short Stardom run. Her look and confidence since joining Marigold has continuously improved. At First Dream, that was the first time I truly thought she gave off star power. She'll likely be the ace of Marigold in the near future and one of the best womens wrestlers in the world."
[8.0] "The Super Rookie of 2024, won rookie of the year for Stardom, before betting on herself and joining Marigold. The sky's the limit for this woman, she could be the best of her generation and talked about alongside IO, Mayu and Meiko in a decade. It's just down to her and a little bit of luck staying healthy and favourable booking."
[9.0] "The best STARDOM rookie since Saya Kamitani. Showed an instant understanding for wrestling with her timing and selling + her offence is already super slick. Her being in Marigold will speed up her development even further as she'll likely be fast-tracked to being an upper tier star."
"She's the future ace of Marigold, she's only 19 but she carries herself like a veteran, her presence and in-ring work are amazing. You can tell Giulia noticed this too. I can see Victoria Yuzuki in NXT in 2-3 years, but she has unfinished business in Marigold. I want to see her get a run with some of their singles belts and keep putting bangers. Her mic work is also good. Simply put, she's a star."
[7.0] "Yuzuki has the most potential of any rookie I've seen in a long time. her in-ring work is very good for her experience, she is very charismatic and can cut a very good promo."
[8.0] "I've been watching Yuzuki since I got into Stardom. I always rooted for her since her first match as I felt that her start coordinated with my developing love for Joshi wrestling. I was amazed when she won rookie of the year, and devastated when she left. (Although I called it on Reddit while others told me I was crazy lol). She is going to go very far, and the match with Mayu proved it. I can't wait to see her win her first title in any promotion."
[10.0] "There's a reason she's called a super rookie and won Rookie Of The Year in Stardom last year. There aren't many wrestlers (male or female) in history who have been as good as she is with just 5 months of experience. Probably the best talent coming from Stardom dojo since Utami Hayashishita and that is saying a lot. Yuzuki feels pretty much like the the future of not only joshi wrestling but professional wrestling as a whole and I can't wait to see her become the ace of the newly formed Marigold promotion. Destined to greatness."
[8.0] "Ace in the making. My score now is for where she's at and not taking future potential into account -- she's that good at this stage. Expectations are that she'll likely become the face of Marigold unless another rises to outshine her."
[8.0] "Yuzuki added the style of bounce back mentality across her training with JOSHI hard hitting wrestling. Her battle with Momo had attention and now being apart of the faction STARS, her fight for keeping stardom the best Joshi company will draw her first arc into becoming the next ACE. Fast pinfalls and it is with such flash and flair."
[7.0] "Yuzuki so far is perfectly fine. Won't call her a future goat yet, because I felt the same about Miyu Amasaki, but the progress turned out to be slover then expected. But she is extremely young and talented with obvious judo background."
[6.0] "She's on the way to be one of Stardom's biggest star or even the ace within 5 years, she has been extremely impressive since her debuts and she's for sure a prodigy, she looks confident and can do some impressive things like a rope walk facecrusher or her flash pinfall really well. She has also a great babyface energy and her selling is often good. She's one to watch closely. One of my favorite rookie in wrestling right now."
[7.0] "Yuzuki has been one of the most pleasant surprises I've seen in wrestling for a couple years now. It's crazy to think that she's been wrestling for as long as she has and she's already shown a level of confidence in the ring that someone years farther in his or her career has. Also, I love that she joined Stars!"
[7.0] "I can't believe I'm giving a 7 rating to someone who just debuted less than 2 months ago, but YZK is that good and promising. She's already surpassed most of the other rookies, Miyu included, and has the potential to be special. I'll be shocked if she doesn't have the Future belt within a year and I can't wait to see the heights she reaches in the coming years."
