YMMV / Jinsei Shinzaki

Go To

  • Base-Breaking Character: Wrestling fans either love him for being a charismatic wrestler with a solid psychology and an interesting gimmick or hate him for being a boring slacker who has been doing the same few spots for decades and barely sells at all.
  • Broken Base: Would Shinzaki make a good Tohoku Junior Heavyweight champion? This question has been around since The '90s and still has no answer.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: His tenure in WWF was short and unvenentful but very memorable to some people. He is cited by many Western puroresu fans as their gateway to Japanese wrestling, as they were endeared by that bizarre tattooed Japanese man who did all sorts of flying moves only to vanish one day without trace.
  • Narm: Him performing a billion prayers per match. It has come to the point it seems he has to do his arm waving thing before just every move.
