Outlook - One of the longstanding undercarders for All Japan, who was given a little color and room by NOAH, but basically remains a bland worker. He's no longer the constant second at ringside that some might recognize him, but he's not exactly burning up NOAH's ring. While he's not particularly old, Inoue just does not have much to offer. He is a generic Japanee powerhouse worker and any company is bound to have better, especially NOAH. I believe he is destined to stay in his role for another ten years or so with little success outside of maybe a tag title run with a more over partner, but even that's a longshot.
