[8.0] "Excellent junior wrestler with great longevity. Very sharp worker and still manages to be super consistent. He was more eye catching in NOAH but moving to NJPW has certainly helped him grow all round. Still flashy when the time calls for it but now shows more character and is an excellent heel."
[9.0] "Taiji Ishimori is a great Junior Heavyweight and is one of the best in NJPW as a whole, he has had a great run since joining NJPW, his other stuff is quite good, but I haven't seen much of it."
[8.0] "How I love Taiji Ishimori. One of my all-time favourite wrestlers along with Master Wato. He's put on a series of great matches, especially with Hiromu Takahashi. I'm saddened I've only recently tuned into NJPW, so I have so many recent matches to watch of him, but I'm looking foward to seeing more matches from him in the future."
[10.0] "Taiji Ishimori is in hindsight is the best junior heavyweight of his era better than devitt, ibushi, taguchi, Omega, Shingo, Etc. based off his absolutely mind boggling levels of consistency I think his NOAH run is an all time great run of any Lightweight division in history full stop it felt like every big time Ishimori match always delivered and he even carry more average workers *Hayata * to their best Match even in since joining the lion mark he still is able to consistently put on top level matches with crazy consistency making an very amazing and entertaining tag team with Phantasmo having plenty of bangers with Hiromu, Despy, Eagles, Sho and Yoh watching him in the ring you'd have no ideal the dude's almost 40... Ishimori Is a legend and I'm happy to see people give him his flower 10/10"
[9.0] "A man blessed with amazing speed yet he never messes up big moves. I would love to see him break away from Bullet Club and get a face run as he was a great face in NOAH and Impact"
[9.0] "Taiji Ishimori is an impressive and legendary wrestler. His stuff in NOAH is worth the watch, and his final career run in NJPW... not bad at all. Ishimori is awesome, a legend in the business and a hidden gem. One of the best technical wrestlers, and has one of the coolest Crossfaces."
[10.0] "One of the most impressive Juniors that I've ever seen in my Life. After a great career, his run in NJPW is just the end of a nice trip in Puro."
[9.0] "Another Junior wrestler in New Japan who has a large body of work but i have only seen his work in NJPW besides from a couple NOAH tag matches. The Bone Soldier gimmick fits him like a silk glove. He's really good in promos and his chemistry with Phantasmo is quite hilarious backstage and in the ring. His wrestling style has been described as only made of spots but he knows how to pace and build a match beautifully. His match with Hiromu at the BOSJ finals is one of the greatest Junior matches in New Japan history. He's a joy to watch in the ring. One of my personal favorites from his division."
[10.0] "One of the best Junior Heavyweights today and one of the best Junior Heavyweight ever. In the ring, he is very interesting, is a great technical wrestler, he is a great high flyer, fantastic seller and always delivers good performance. He delivered some classics in NOAH. Because he is a master in the ring."
[9.0] "Very good in ring worker but lately i haven't seen anything from him I'll wait for now to see what he does next year and for his wrestling and mic presence I'll give him 9. I hope next year he'll do as good as he was doing in 2019."
[9.0] "What a phenomenal wrestler - one of my favourite in NJPW. Very spectacular style, great highflyer. He's rather short, but it doesn't work on his disadvantage much. He is ripped as hell, so he's got the strenght the big guys do. What makes him better is the speed and agility. I like his matches a lot - cool action and fast pace."
[10.0] "The most underrated wrestler/worker in NJPW imo. I do enjoy ELP and I do think they work wonders together and they have been a highlight this year but Ishimori is a fantastic wrestler and I can't wait for him to return to singles run, the only thing I see lacking out of him is his promo ability, because we haven't exactly seen much of it, he sure has charisma, so he should be showing off a bit more on the mic (worked during the tag league)."
[9.0] "I always liked his work from PWG and IMPACT, but there was always something missing. Bone Soldier is what was missing. His cutthroat heel attitudes is just more fitting gimmick that goes well with his move set, he's a much better heel."
[8.0] "If Ishimori were a few inches taller he'd be main event material in whatever promotion he chose to work for. Originally the very definition of "spot-wrestler", he has worked hard to improve himself in the ring and outside. He understood how to structure a match, and understood it well, worked a lot on how to make his opponent look good and his promos have got better and better... when he's given the occasion to cut any. In many ways he made that final step towards being top quality material that continues eluding Kota Ibushi, being only held back by his diminutive height. It seems NJPW is set on putting him in the top Jr Heavyweight slot to replace Kushida, a decision few would argue against and I can only pray NJPW will give us a proper feud between him and Shingo Takagi..."
[7.0] "Ishimori is a mixed bag for me. When he wants to, he can put on an incredible match, that combines spot wrestling, with smart pacing, and a more well-rounded style. On other days, he sleepwalks through matches (his Impact Wrestling/PWG matches), and becomes predictable."
[10.0] "My favorite wrestler in the world right now. I have yet to see a match of his I didn't love. His match with Tatsuhito Takaiwa was my personal match of the year 2013 and Daisuke Harada winning the Jr Heavyweight Championship from Taiji this year is in contention."
[8.0] "Talentiert und wahnsinnig athletisch: Taiji Ishimori ist ein richtig Guter. Ich bin gespannt, ob er den Sprung an die Spitze seiner Gewichtsklasse schafft. Verdient hätte er es allemal."
[6.0] "In Ishimori steckt eine Menge Potenzial. Ich sehe seine Matches, egal ob mit KENTA oder ohne immer gerne. Vor einiger Zeit waren seine Matches nicht so stark. Ich hoffe er zeigt noch viele tolle Matches."
[10.0] "Ein super Techniker, mit einer guten Portion Charisma. Ihm wird nur von den Promotern zu wenig zugetraut, was mal überdacht werden müsste. TOP!"
[8.0] "Ishimori ist natürlich ein ganz guter. Seine Matches wissen durchwegs zu gefallen mit seinem High Flying, seiner Speed, und natürlich einfach seinen gut getimten Aktionen. Durchaus mehr als nur einen Blick wert, gute 8 Punkte."
[8.0] "Genialer Highflyer, der sowohl im Einzel, als auch im Team mit Kenta überzeugt. Hat beim diesjährigen Carat mit El Generico am ersten Tag allen die Show gestohlen!"
[8.0] "Ishimori ist bei NOAH endlich da, wo er hingehört: Im Rampenlicht einer großen Organisation. Seinen schlechten Ruf in Dragon System Kreisen wird er wohl noch lange tragen, aber "Ultimo Dragon's greatest failure" ist Ishimori zu 100% nicht. Dafür ist er einfach ein viel zu guter Highflyer."
[8.0] "Hat beim 16 Carat am 1. Tag zusammen mit El Generico die Show gestohlen! Ein Top High-flyer! Wer mir erzählt, dass seine Matches nicht herausragend seien, der ist in meinen Augen nicht mehr zu retten;)"
[8.0] "Zusammen mit Ricky Marvin die Elite des Spot High Flyings bei NOAH. Rundet das bunt gemischte Kampfstilrepertoire von NOAH gut ab; und wirbelt gut im Ring rum. Note 2"
