Yoshiki Inamura

[10.0] "MR. SMACK DADDY. This dude just oozes aura. He slaps and smacks his way through opponents with that SUMO influence on full display. Yo-Shi-Ki also wears a cowboy heat better than most cowboys. Our boy don't mess around."

[9.0] "Nobody could have expected that his run in NXT would yield such results. He was supposed to be the one helping to put others over, but as it turned out, he's the biggest winner of them all. It's a great example of how a small change can lead to massive shifts in one's life. I'm glad he's finally getting the recognition he deserves."

[8.0] "NOAH thankfully recognized the talent they have with Inamura. His WWE excursion seen him be a constant highlight when he was on NXT TV, and now he's back in Japan with the top belt in the promotion, likely carrying it into NOAH's big 2026 New Years event. Always glad to see a promising name get the push they deserve."

[6.0] "Inamura is an odd one. Clearly too good for NXT (but not over enough for main roster WWE), but clearly not good enough for the big time in Japan which should explain why NOAH management keeps screwing around with him. He would have benefit from being one of those guys who travels a lot and gets really over on the US/Euro indies, but that doesn't seem to have come to fruition."

[8.0] "While he was never given the best storylines, he delivered matches that never failed to surprise with just how good they are."

[8.0] "I love his look and think he's a great wrestler. He must've pissed off a lot of people in the NOAH front office. I can't think of any other explanation as to why they'd send a guy over 30 to NXT for "excursion" after already having 6-7 years of experience."

[10.0] "The time is ripe--come back and put OZAWA and TEAM 2000X in their place! I'm looking forward to seeing Inamura, Kaito, and OZAWA rule the scene as a three-way power struggle."

[10.0] "Whoever decided to sign him deserve à raise. Inamura is one of the best currently on NXT. With his Japanese Strong Style he always delivers bangers. Deffinitly earn à title"

[8.0] "What are NOAH doing with this guy? he has been in the company for 6 years and has had some major roles in the company whether in KONGO or having dominant wins in the N1 yet they still treat him like a young lion and make it seem like he isn't ready for the main event. but he is wayyy more than ready. I hope they figure out a proper placement for him because if they do not he should 100 percent leave the company before he is stuck floating in the abyss of nothingness."

[9.0] "The future of NOAH - this rating might be a bit high but I am taking into account his potential as well as what he has currently done. One of the big criticisms of NOAH is them not doing enough with Inamura and I understand the sentiment but he's someone that's only debuted in 2018, making him peers with Umino and Tsuji and Uemura and Narita who are still in the developmental stage of their careers. Inamura will be a force to be reckoned with when he truly arrives as a fully-developed talent on the NOAH roster, and I hope this is sooner rather than later."

[7.0] "Really promising wrestler but I feel he still has a lot of room to grow before I give him anything higher than a 7."

[8.0] "Inamura has unreal passion and intensity that perfectly matches his size and style. Will be a major player in NOAH for years to come, and his finisher is already one of the more visually impressive moves around."

[8.0] "So this guy has been in the business for like three years and he's already better than most hoss-type wrestlers around his age. His suplexes are gorgeous. His slams are powerful. And his presence is already super impressive and imposing. If there's a reason to watch NOAH, it's Inamura."

[8.0] "Hes only two years into his career and he? s already amazing, keep your eyes on this guy he has an amazing future!"
