NJPW: Every Member Of CHAOS Ranked
11. YOSHI-HASHI
For fans of New Japan, dunking on YOSHI-HASHI is like breathing air. Whether it's his dopey, sad expression, his "I really wish I weren't here" demeanor, or that weird, useless baton he carries with him (seriously, what is that?), the Headhunter isn't exactly the most beloved member of CHAOS.
And it's not like there isn't anything to like about him, either. When given the opportunity, YOSHI-HASHI has proven that he can have very good matches, especially when against opponents like Okada or Tanahashi. But for whatever reason, likely his lack of showmanship, he's been relegated as a bit-player in the CHAOS hierarchy, often being the tag team fall guy when Gedo and Jado aren't involved.
His record speaks for itself. Since returning from excursion and joining CHAOS in January 2012, YH has not won a singles or tag title, and his average score in G1 action is a dreadful 5 points. Throughout the entire 2018 G1 tournament, commentators Kevin Kelly and Rocky Romero remarked that YH was lacking "something," and whether that's storyline or shoot, it's true.
Perhaps YOSHI-HASHI would benefit from another excursion, because what he's been doing has clearly not been the formula for success.
