[3.0] "Jado was the worse half of a mediocre and overpushed tag team with Gedo, and had a forgettable IWGP Jr. Heavyweight championship reign, that is about it as far as his accomplishments go in the ring. Outside of the ring his booking has been spotty and he is a pretty miserable manager. Not a whole lot to praise, and while there are definitely worse folks in the industry, he is not a great figure in the history of puro."

[1.0] "He was fine as a tag wrestler with Gedo but nowadays I just don't want to see him in the ring anymore. Moves look sloppy, overall movement is very slow and much of a character or any other appeal just isn't there."

[5.0] "A decent junior wrestler back in his prime. Could work a variety of styles which resulted in some good runs in a few different promotions. Nothing about him was great but he had a deserved place in the midcard. Elongated his career by becoming a pin eater in NJPW which is fair enough, someone has to do it."

[8.0] "Hard to give him a fair slice since his decreasing workrate got the better of him after running with CHAOS and Bullet Club. Even though he's just being used as a "bumbling uncle" that eats all the pins to save other's faces, he's doing fine for his condition and if you count back in the day, he's pretty awesome being the older brother of Gedo (he won the IWGP Junior belt and Gedo didn't, yeah let that sink in). Overall, he was serviceable at best and helped stories to be told."

[4.0] "I've never really been impressed by any of Jado's work over the last 2.5 years since I started watching NJPW FULL-TIME. His in-ring work is unspectacular, and it gets really annoying seeing him appear frequently in these random tag matches for the Road tour events. Dick Togo and Gedo have similar roles too; but even they aren't nearly as overexposed as Jado is here (which has been apparent ever since the Guerrillas of Destiny turned face earlier this year)."

"I don? t have much to say about him besides that he is pretty boring. His matches do not interest me and neither does the character. Overall kinda boring."

[0.0] ""31 years in this biz, so fucking what? " is what his t-shirt says, well I'll tell you what, Jado is just terrible. As much as I give Gedo guff at least he invented a pin, what the hell has Jado ever done? Jado's played second fiddle, poorly booked NOAH, and be a low rent Sandman hitting people with canes."
Ontrol wrote on 16.04.2021:
[3.0] "Considering he can barely move anymore I don't think of his wrestling too highly. He is a pretty hilarious manager though. People hate on him but I think he's pretty funny. I don't know what's better, shrugging off Enzo and Cass at G1 Supercard or him making his way to the ring at Dominion in 2020."

ElPolloLoco wrote on 30.05.2019:
[7.0] "As a wrestler he was nothing special: he was slightly worse than Gedo, which isn't exactly high praise. As a booker it's difficult to separate his achievements from that of his partner because they worked so closely, but it's now known he convinced NJPW to hire and push KUSHIDA and beyond any shade of doubt he helped the promotion to pick up again after that long miserable period known as "Inokism". He deserves a positive rating just for that. However his time at NOAH literally made the promotion difficult to watch, hinting he either needs somebody to edit his ideas or that he was under strict orders to push Suzukigun and other NJPW workers at the detriment of local talent. These days he seems happy to work behind the scenes and to play an unconvincing Oedo-tai impersonator in his spare time and that's probably a good thing because age and injuries have really made his in-ring work unwatchable."
