Outlook - Jinsei Shinzaki has had a good ten years in the sport as he has been able to fight in many different promotions. The traveling monk may not have captured much gold along the way, but he is one of the most internationally recognizable stars of puroresu. Though his best years are behind him, Shinzaki will probably continue to work all over Japan like few can. Though notoriously lazy in recent years, Jinsei Shinzaki still gets opportunties to work the kids and goes over more often than not. Hopefully he kicks it up a few times more and puts over some quality up-and-comers before his day is done.
