Tatsumi Fujinami

Introduction
Below you can see all known star ratings for wrestling matches featuring in Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Please note that ratings are given to the overall match; not to the performers within them. Therefore, high or low ratings may reflect aspects of the match including booking, length and performance of partners/opponents, over which the performers may have little or no control. Please also note that a match that received a particular rating many years ago may have been judged on a different criteria from today's.

Following the same rating system devised in part by Jim Cornette, matches are rated from the lowest rating of -***** (-5) through to the highest rating of ***** (+5), with a small number of matches being rated above that theoretical maximum. Matches with a rating of zero stars are referred to as a "DUD" and an average match tends to score around a ** (2) rating. All ratings can only be considered subjective and this page is designed purely for reference purposes.
