Gunner

[0.0] "Gonna start by saying this man have 22 years in ring experience and was bought in TNA when he was a young wrestler and then get a WWE NXT and main roster opportunity and after be given that opportunity this guy make one of the most stupid and unprofessional post on his WWE social media and after all of this found a way to blame everyone not him Has a wrestler he was very blank in term of personnality and his in ring ability was even worse then before and manage to be the weakest member of his own faction"

[1.0] "The 1 point goes to his look, which is admittedly pretty good for a wrestler. Aside from that, everything else about him is bland. He doesn't have any impressive moves or skills, and his promo work is mediocre. His time in TNA as Gunner was pretty alright, and he had good, protective booking in NXT. But he was just too bad for it to matter. He tanked his own career and nearly did the same to his stablemates."

[1.0] "He had an alright look I guess, but Jaxson Ryker was one of the most bland performers I've ever seen on television. Which would have been fine, but his behavior and morals are at best questionable, and it's for the best that he is no longer in the business, to say the least."

[3.0] "Other than having a cool look there's nothing memorable about this guy other than him having questionable political views."

[0.0] "In boxing and mma, the equivalent is a tomato can. Someone with experience but isn't very good and is a tune up for someone with more talent. Ryker had nothing to offer in the ring, on the mic, or outside of wrestling. He was basically blackballed for not only being a terrible wrestler but not a high quality human being either. He used his wrestling catch phrase to publicly fluff Donald Trump during the 2020 protests/riots. It's beyond tone deaf and in poor taste. After that he deserved everything he got, which was nothing.,"

[1.0] "Poor quality wrestler, poor quality views, not really worth being booked again, won't really be missed ? Bog standard in the ring, bog standard on the mic, bog standard human, what else is there to say really...the fact he was pushed as a face is also a reflection on some of vinces worst ideas"

[1.0] "This lunk was absolutely useless everywhere he went. He dragged down everyone he worked with in TNA and got Steve Maclin and Westin Blake pulled from TV because he was a racist idiot on social media. But sure, WWE kept him another year after firing Blake and Maclin. Thank god he's retired so no one has to see him stink up a ring ever again."

[4.0] "He wasn't bad in the ring just boring WWE tried with him but then just gave up it's a shame his political views got him into trouble which i don't agree with he should be allowed to support whoever he wants but that's not what i'm rating him for he was just boring nothing really interesting about him"

[3.0] "I can't really find anything that stands out for him. Even his ringnames were painfully generic. At least he doesn't botch?"

[7.0] "Gunner has had an interesting career, as he had decent runs in NWA and TNA where he was able to carve a place in the midcard some solid lower-tier championship runs that kinda cements the place where he excelled, in a mostly silent role as a big obstacle to be overcome by rising stars. I did not at all enjoy the Forgotten Sons gimmick, but his work in NXT and WWE showcased how he could be a good muscle backup or henchman did his job efficiently with some pizzazz and other would look formidable if they could topple him. He certainly had flaws and an evident ceiling on him, but I do feel like that it has become trendy to undermine him as a wrestler because of inarticulate narrow-mindedness on social media, when he played his support part quite well and would have been intriguing in bigger attempts at time if he had more stability in his performances and personal presentation, and certainly would have required a different attitude."

[2.0] "He was never a good wrestler, and that was before he got his two stablemates fired for shit he said."

[6.0] "Quite a decent wrestler to be honest. In my opinion, 2021 and its team and competition with Elias deserve special attention. Jaxson then had a quasi-masochistic gimnick which was new and interesting. I recommend his Strap Match with Elias."

[0.0] "Failure of a human, and a boring wrestler with absolutely nothing to offer, no one should book him, he is a posion to wrestling. I have not seen much, but I am not impressed by anything he has done, an absolute zero."

[5.0] "Fine Wrestler with a great physique and decent wrestling ability. Promo ability is ok for me. He is a bad babyface but a good heel."

[6.0] "Something about Jaxson Ryker really intrigues me. I like his look, his moves, his promo work in both Impact and WWE. I don't think it's fair to judge a wrestler for their political opinions when they are relatively tame compared to the comments I've heard some wrestlers make and their actions (I'm not American FYI)"

[1.0] "a very basic wrestlers. No charisma, a very ordinary in-ring level. There was no reason to care about the wrestler."

[3.0] "Jaxson Ryker is not good, even putting his political views aside, which I will be doing for this review. He's not atrocious in the ring but he's so uninteresting and sometimes fairly sloppy. His biggest weakness is is promo ability and character work. He exudes no presence or personality in his promos and he struggles to connect with crowds. A good example of this is on a recent episode of Main Event. I had tuned in because I wanted to see John Morrison VS Apollo Crews, but before took place, Veer took on Jaxson Ryker in the opening match. It was dead silent. You could hear a pin drop in the distance the crowd was so quiet. That basically describes Jaxson Ryker. Not awful, but so mediocre and a horrible talker, and it's so late in his career that I don't think he has time to improve."

[3.0] "Nothing interesting about him. Has a good look and not much else. Didn't do much in Forgotten sons. Basic in the ring, boring promos, no charisma."

[6.0] "He did some brutal matches this year. I'm not sure face turn was a good idea, but this guy intrigues me and I wish WWE had something for him."

[4.0] "Ryker is nothing more than the typical powerhouse that seeks to impose simply because he is great having a basic moveset and a fairly repetitive finisher and already seen in the type of Wrestlers that WWE booked similar to him I have never really seen technique on his part and Most of The matches he has are squashes that he wins or "destructive" matches, besides that he doesn't really have a gimmick as such, it's just there, meh."

[6.0] "Its incredible how 0.0 ratings related to politcs are still here and nobody does anything about them. Those people are radicals that think that their party is the only good one and the others are the worst thing ever. With that being said, I will rate Ryker. Guy has decent in ring, worked well in his feud with Elias. Has some tag team chemistry. His mic in the Forgotten Sons was decent. At much he could be a midcarder. 6.0 is fair for him."

[10.0] "Rating any athlete by their political opinions not only nullifies the rating and renders it useless, but also goes to show that free speech is soon to become inexistent. Now, focusing on Jaxson Ryker. Formerly known as Gunner back in his TNA days, this man was always entertaining. Great in ring skill, and a moveset that's elaborate enough for my liking. I definitely like what I'm seeing from Mr. Ryker"

[0.0] "Holy mother of god, this dude fucking SUCKS, how can you be a wrestler since 2001 and suck so fucking much? ! ? ! It's bad enough that WWE were dumb enough to hire him after TNA made the same mistake! He had one good match and that was because James Storm is a competent worker, unlike the absolute waste of space that is Gunner, or aka Jaxson RyKKKer, who WWE are somehow pushing as a babyface, he also sabotaged his partners's careers by posting his shitty political views to the public! I feel bad for anyone who has ever teamed with this dude, and it will always and forever be Fuck Gunner."

[1.0] "Having watched him since he started in TNA as "Gunner" in 2010, I can safely say that Chad Lail is not cut out for the wrestling business. Every time anyone has tried to push him, they've been met with indifference, because his in-ring is unmemorable and he has no character hook (and never has). The worst part is when companies try to make him a babyface (TNA as James Storm's partner, and WWE in 2021). There's absolutely no reason to cheer him, especially not in 2020-21 when he got his coworkers fired over his own misconduct. Get him off TV now."

[0.0] "He was the worst part of the Forgotten Sons, Its bad enough that hes already a terrible human being but hes also just as terrible as a Wrestler. Jaxson Ryker is NOT Babyface material no matter how much this guy apologizes for voting for Donald Trump twice or for attending the January 6th 2021 Capitol Building Riots. This guy will never be Over with the fans except with the MAGA and Far Right Wing Minority, the only time Jaxson Ryker was truly Over was when when he went Over the Capitol Building Wall."

[0.0] "First off, politically and as a human being, I can't stand him. Especially considering he still has a job in WWE while others were fired. However, that shouldn't and doesn't affect my rating. Everything about him is horrible. He's not entertaining in the ring and hasn't done anything memorable. On the mic, he makes me cringe. Sometimes, in WWE, we see a talented wrestler get wasted and it affects people's opinion because they don't see how good they can really be. With Ryker that isn't the case. When given an even bigger chance in impact years ago he was terrible then too. James Storm was able to get some solid work out of him but that says more about Storm than Ryker/Gunner. His has an ok look which makes sense but it's also not anything special that makes him standout from other quality wrestler's with similar looks. It's amazing that WWE thinks they can make him a face with what we know about him in a feud with Elias. One of the worst wrestlers on the roster and that's not including what we know about his real life which makes him even worse."

[0.0] "He's just a muscle bound guy with a mean look. Not a good wrestler, not interesting in character, can't draw a dime. On top of that he's too comfortable with being a doorknob of a person. Has never defended his name after being labeled racist. That right there says a whole lot about him. He loves to quote Bible verses and say he's for Jesus yet he's racist. Such a hypocrite."

[0.0] "Uninteresting, boring, generic, easily the least talented member of the Forgotten Sons and yet he's somehow the only one still employed. His racist views don't help his case, as he ruined the careers of his fellow tag partners and got rewarded for it, while his partners took the fall."

[2.0] "Boring wrestler who does little to make himself stand out. He is also a COVID denier and Trumpie, and all around seems like an unpleasant individual. Surprised he kept his job while his tag partners were fired."

[0.0] "I've been watching this guy since 2011 and he is the most boring body guy I've seen. He can't talk, his wrestling is subpar, and he has zero charisma or in ring presence."

[5.0] "I was on a blackout from TNA when Gunner was a thing, so I never really saw anything from his time there. I did hear it was pretty terrible though. In NXT, Jaxon Ryker really has not done much, but he does have a very impressive & imposing look. Being saddled with the Forgotten Sons is doing him no favors, as that team just look like people who were not good enough to get on the Sons of Anarchy TV show. That team is going no where fast & the sooner Ryker breaks away from them, the better it will be for him. Perhaps a manager along the lines of Paul Ellering would work for him? Time will tell if he has what it takes to get over the hump that he's currently stuck on with the Forgotten Doppelgangers."

[3.0] "I haven't seen this guy do anything noteworthy, he is a formee tna tag champ but besides that he's quite unmemorable. He's in NXT now with the name Jaxson Ryker, which is unfortunate."

[5.0] "Not the best in ring performer but have to admit he had a great look and now that he has signed with WWE (under the NXT Umbrella) I am really curious on what they can do for the man that was formerly known as Gunner in TNA can do."

[6.0] "Gunner has a great presence, and his power-based offense steadily improved during the course of his TNA run. While initial pushes as a heel never quite took off, making him a babyface and playing off his real-life military background did well in helping him get over, as did a very good feud with James Storm. Has yet to resurface on a national level since his 2015 departure from TNA, but still potentially could be a solid midcarder for any company and still has the potential to continue growing and rising up the card."

[7.0] "good wrestler with great body and great courage. he improved a lot in the past year. he will become a main eventer."

[7.0] "Gunner has worked really hard in the last few years and, through he is not a fantastic wrestler, he has become a good uppermidcarder. I'm not sure he would deserve to become world champion but anyway he's gonna be very useful for TNA in the future."

[7.0] "Since his alliance with Storm, he has impove a lot. Maybe... He can wrestle in the main event."

[2.0] "Gunner is just an awful wrestler who can literally make you sleep while his working in the ring."

[5.0] "Gunner's an average wrestler. I think he should be wrestling in the indies, not in TNA."

[6.0] "Gunner has a lot of potential to be a big star someday. He is a great powerhouse, with a lot of potential to grow and develop a personality and a wrestling style."
