As a wrestler and brawler his skills are about average, he knows what to do and it works, but the aura on the man is off the charts."

[1.0] "I gave him an honest shot, some wrestlers just aren't my cup o' joe regardless of the era. Some was so bad I even fast forwarded past a match with Tito Santana, and I LOVE me some Tito Santana. Maybe once upon a time he was to be feared or respected or whatever. But all I've seen ages horribly and is woefully boring or bloody. Just because its bloody, doesn't mean its good. PS: having your back to the camera and blanking out the view of other wrestlers is an AWFUL habit."

[8.0] "Jos LeDuc might not be a big today but in the 1970's and early mid 1980's he was a super scary freak show strong monster traveling mid card mad man brawler! Won title as a tag team and solo, he was a big hit in Canada 1st in Stampede Wrestling, then in IWA International Wrestling Association in Montreal then Grand Prix Wrestling then multiple awesome runs in Championship Wrestling from Florida been to AWA then a awesome run in Memphis, in Mid-Atlantic and very good runs in gulf coast, NWA Big Time in Texas, he had monster feuds with Jerry Lawler, who he crushed one of Lawler balls, by throwing him out of the the ring, then his feud with Bruiser Brody was crazy, you feared for Brody safety, then his on again off again feud that lasted a while with Dusty Rhodes , and Killer Karl Kox Dick Slater, Barry Windham all great feuds"

[8.0] "very intersting gimmick performer. was noticably slowed down by the time i started watching him in the early 1980s but he could still get over as a midcard heel on a weeks notice. ive tracked down a few of his earlier matches and saw this guy can get intense in a blood feud... but he also could get over as a face too. not a high flyer... not a high spot guy... leduc was about psychology and selling himself as the ugly badguy brawler. he was good at it"
