[5.0] "Initially GLEAT tried to get over Watanabe as a 'genius' - I guess they saw him as a guy with some aura of mystique to him, unfortunately just like over young GLEAT guys, he never really got a proper run where he looked like someone who could go far. He can go in the ring, but at the same time it doesn't feel like he's on the verge of elevating himself to the next level."
[8.0] "He can do some really good stuff from time to time, maybe he should be getting an eight, but overall I think he has something, especially in tags, but his T-Hawk match was incredible, and shows he can be a top guy in GLEAT."
[6.0] "He's alright in the ring, nothing really wrong with him but he doesn't have much charisma or anything that makes him a future star. I don't really get what they see in him. It seems that he's supposed to be some sort of future ace but it feels like he doesn't improve much. I hope he won't be one of the eternally "promising" talents, for now he is stuck in that role and doesn't stand out. Every time I watched him, his opponent was always more interesting than him."
[7.0] "Good looking, athletic and young junior heavyweight in GLEAT. He's got a bright future ahead of him I think. I like his swan dive forearm especially."
[7.0] "I think this kid has everything to become a superstar in this business. He's already got a recognizable look. He's really solid in the ring. And he's lucky enough to be working at a really good company filled with fantastic talent. Soma has a bright future."
[7.0] "I think Watanabe has star potential. He has a great look, good athleticism and has held his own in the ring with some very talented veterans. He is someone I will be eager to keep an eye on as he develops."
