I'm withholding my opinion until I see Death Before Dishonor V weekend when the shows come out later this week.
Because I have to admit, good matches aside that he's had, I'm not all that much of a fan. He's really been boring me since around Fighting Spirit. Maybe he's just not my cup of tea. But before I decide that that's the final word, I want to see the Claudio, Albright, and Danielson matches.

He works brilliantly with Danielson, since they bring so much different styles to the table.
I like Morishima a lot, though I guess I can see where others wouldn't.

Claudio and Danielson both had tremendous matches with 'Shima.
Even Albright had a good, if slow-paced, match with him.

angriest obese japanese chick since Aja Kong.
Uses his ass as his deadliest weapon
He has freckles.
Eh I'm sorta indifferent to him, i'm not stricken with fear when I see him, I'm more stricken with the laughs. If Morishima wore Pig Tails to the ring I'd mark though.
Seriously he doesn't look like he'd kick ass in the ring, he looks like he'd kick my butt...at nintendo.
i will say he's good in the ring, I think by being more of a prick would work.
As of now He's being booked as ROH Samoa Joe mark II...

I've heard nothing but praise for both, especially in Manhattan. Like I said, I'm giving those three series a chance before writing off any chance of me liking this guy. It's so weird, I can't even put my finger on why I'm not a fan. It isn't because he's big or anything, seeing as Samoa Joe is still a favorite. And he has good/great matches a majority of the time. Those Aries and Strong matches don't get talked about anymore, and those were tremendous. I just ... don't get it. Just not a fan at this point. Maybe the next 2 months of DVDs will sway me.

Morishima is cool by me, old school monster. I really don't get the Samoa Joe comparison at all. Only similarities is that they're both chubby. They wrestle pretty differently, Samoa Joe has a lot of MMA influence while Morishima is more of a brawler. His matches with Roderick Strong, Shingo and Aries were awesome. He may look somewhat feminine but doesn't act like it, thats Batista's job.

I've only seen him demolish Jimmy Rave and it was quite spooky.
That and he has beautiful girl hair. I would ask to comb it if I wasn't scared he would chuck me through a wall.

I think he is very small for a wrestler and if he was ever forced to wrestle anything but a stiff style he would fade from wrestling all together. He kind of also looks like a fat Korean girl I used to know. Also his moveset is horrid. He makes Cena look like Malenko. who do you like that is not the wwe? just curious because you seem to watch a fair amount of non-wwe matches but i haven't heard you say you liked any of it. not trying to start anything, just trying to get a take on your tastes.

I don't like him, but I don't know why. Maybe it's his look, I have no idea.

No disrespect, but Alex Shelly isn't exactly a tough looking guy. I actually like Morishima's look. He may not look like an uber bad ass, but he still looks like he could kill via Backdrop Driver.

Morishima is booked as one, yet falls short in my eyes... Just because he is booked as a tough doesn't mean he has to be 7 foot 300 pounds of muscle. He has a unique look, and the fact that he is a pudgy helps him. Seeing Alex Shelly do top rope drop kick isn't impressive, but a 6'3 300 pound guy doing it makes it look imposing. I like that he doesn't have the "traditional look" it really adds to his overall appeal. To me anyways, but to each their own.

Very very good. And very very underrated. He's a great heel, especially since he makes the smarks at the ROH forums flip out every time he wins. Although Briscoes-Steenerico has undoubtedly been ROH's feud of the year, Morishima has put on no less than five of the top ten matches in ROH this year (v. Nigel, v. Roddy, v. Albright, v. Claudio, v. Dragon), and while some will claim he gets carried, I'll claim that he's doing quite well.

If you've seen one Morshima match, You've seen them all. He's not bad but he just doesn't do it for me.
