Outlook - Kentaro Shiga was a solid junior for NOAH in their early days. After years as a young boy in All Japan, he was able to show his stuff in NOAH and improved well. While he could have been a junior like El Samurai, who is key to his junior division. After toiling away, Shiga has been paired up with veteran Kishin Kawabata and made a midcard heel. His style has been completely changed and while he is getting something going tagging with Kawabata, Shiga is not as promising as he once was. The pair is a solid pair in the midcard and can be effective in six-man tags as well.
