[9.0] "Mizunami is one of the most underrated talents right now, she's endlessly charismatic, great at working the crowd, lays her shit in and is a great seller. She is a giving worker always helping others shine, she's funny and her chops where the crowd claps along as she panders to them is my favorite spot in wrestling right now."
[7.0] "I like Ryo, but I don't love her. She's solid in the ring and she's clearly very charismatic, but I don't know, there's something about her that makes her hard to connect with. Maybe that will change over time, so I reserve the right to update this rating when I see the light."
[10.0] "AKA ANIKI has been so good and underrated for awhile but since she came into AEW I think she's really shown just how invaluable she is to any company she comes to."
[10.0] "She's so charismatic and tough at the same time. One of my favorite performers to watch no matter what kind of style. So glad she's getting more attention now."
[7.0] "I've only seen a few matches, but Ryo has been pretty good in the AEW Women's Division. Hope she and other women get more time to show their work!"
[9.0] "Ryo Mizunami is great, really charismatic and probably the most underrated and consistent joshi wrestler around today. Very good moveset and always reliable for a good match."
[9.0] "I first saw Ryo Mizunami at SHIMMER in 2012 - she was pretty good, but you have to be excellent to rise above talent such as Ayako Hamada, Kana and Tomoka Nakagawa. Fast forward to 2016, and she returned to SHIMMER a changed woman, much more confident with strikes, much more entertaining, and one of my personal highlights of the weekend of shows. Mizunami had great matches with a variety of opponents, and her work in Japan has been really good as well. Hopefully won't be another four years until she's Stateside again."
