[4.0] "Something like the Tony Garea of the south (to me anyway). He was sufficient in the ring, but what I know him for is mostly his commentary. The most stand out thing about his commentary was he sounded drunk. Go back and listen to his wrestling promos, he sounds fine. Go back and compare his commentary to his promos and you'll likely come up with the same conclusion as I."

[6.0] "Apparently the first guy to use a sleeper hold as a finisher and also apparently belt the crap out of his wife on a daily basis, but what i seen from him in the ring he was quite solid"

[8.0] "Johnny Weaver was 51 when he finished his career in 1987 and looked an old 51... hes forgotten by todays kids as evidenced by no ratings here. he was one of the winningest wrestlers in the 1960's and going into the 1970's... I have to admit I only started watching him in his mid 40's so im mostly giving him a ranking based on where he wrestled on the card/how long he stayed atop the promotions when he was in his prime before I laid eyes on him. hes just too important in history to have no ratings at all"
