[4.0] "Mike Sanders was really good on the microphone, and really that's about it, because despite his mic skills, he wasn't super charismatic, and his ring skills were really, really bland."

[3.0] "Above Average, oh my god. Imagine getting called "he's just barely watchable" and not being able to live up to that name. That's Mike Sanders in a nutshell"

[4.0] "Barely remember him from WCW's dying days. Wasn't outright offensive, but he wasn't going anywhere with that nickname. Never came back after the buyout AFAIK."

[1.0] "Decent on the mic and that was it. Has possibly the worst nickname in wrestling. All the potential superlatives in the world and you go with "Above Average? " What, was "Better Than Most With a Few Exceptions Here Or There" Mike Sanders not snappy enough?"

[2.0] "'Above Average' Mike Sanders? Try 'Sub-Standard' Mike Sanders. Sanders' entire rep was down to his mic work, which was decent, but the guy had nothing else going for him."

[5.0] "Mike Sanders was widely regarded as a promising young wrestler in WCW's dying days due to his strong mic skills. However, once WCW folded, nothing seemed to work out for him. A developmental contract with the WWF didn't pan out and then he had a disappointing TNA run before quietly disappearing from the wrestling scene. A lack of ring skills definitely hurt him, as did his size. However, even his mic skills seemed to have lost their appeal during his time in TNA. Not sure what happened there, but it spelled the end of a once promising career."

DanTalksRasslin wrote on 08.06.2015:

[4.0] "Sanders' above-average mic skills got him prominent roles early on in his WCW career, including leading the Natural Born Thrillers and serving as WCW's Commissioner. His ring skill wasn't quite up to the level of his charisma, but had he stuck with it he certainly could have developed into a solid performer."

[4.0] "Good talker, unspectacular wrestler. Could have been one to watch out for."
