Outlook - Kohei Sato was really pushed hard upon entering Zero-One. They were certainly hoping for him to be the popular young babyface to bring in the more casual fans. He wasn't exactly ready for the spot yet and they toned back his push. Sato will be really good some day, he's just gaining his legs in the pro-wrestling world, but has the potential to be a leader in this MMA-influenced style. Zero-One MAX seems to be limiting his growth as the talent pool just hasn't pushed him to that next level yet. Sato is showing Otani's better characteristics everyday and could emerge in the last half of the decade as a top heavyweight.
