James Ellsworth

[5.0] "I feel like ths guy was better wrestler than we give him credit for. Ellsworth can go if needed but he couldn't do much to massive WWE superstars. His WWE run was funny and memorable. Maybe it was good that it was cut short before the joke got old. He doesn't really look like an athlete but to be honest. In the indies many wrestlers don't have the look but they can still have good matches."

[2.0] "A jobber that ended up getting a high profile job due to his comical look, I think it's embarrassing(even though it wasn't clean by any means) that he got a pinfall win over AJ Styles, heck he's even the first person to pull down the women's MITB briefcase. Given all that, he didn't do anything well other than piss fans off, wish his career was just the one off where Braun Strowman crushed him. He was a jobber/nothing more"

[2.0] "Initial storyline of getting beat up by Braun and then beating AJ Styles was entertaining. He's been awful since then. He's also a ped0"

[2.0] "He was the shits in the ring, but would be lying to say his first storyline in WWE wasn't entertaining. 2/10 *I always rate wrestlers from what I have seen of them.*"

[0.0] "Couldn't brawl, couldn't do technical wrestling, could barely sell, and to top it all off he's a creep. I would rather watch Doink Vs Booger than watch this scrawny manlet get paid to job poorly. The fact that this guy with a receding jawline has defeated AJ Styles and basically won the 2017 Women's MITB makes me want to hurl."

[0.0] "WWE took this man who should've made a single appearance as a jobber and pushed him WAY too hard way too fast. He beat the WWE Champion AJ Styles for christ sake. He shouldn't have even been in the same thought at Styles or Ambrose. Sure he had some funny moments here and there, but it was taken too far and ruined any credibility of anything WWE did for like a year. Not to mention his stupid run with Carmella that was absolutely egregious."

[3.0] "I was in my mid teens during the legendary james ellsworth run, but id be lying if I said he was even passable in the ring. He played into the no chin stuff so well, and played an okay heel with carmella in his last run, but his in ring stuff was just terrible. The story of james ellsworth would get a 10, a random, no name jobber that the fans damn near rioted to get signed, so they did, and immediately he was put into the biggest storyline in the company."

[2.0] "Ellsworth was in WWE a joke. At first it was decent and funny but the longer he stuck around the worse it got for him. His in-ring abilities was far below par seen in his near catastrophic mistake in his match against Styles. Did not connect on the mic. His Ultimate Ellsworth gimmick is one of the stupidest parodies I have seen in pro wrestling Just overall not good."

"Shout out to Dan and Chris on Violent People Radio for being the biggest boosters and supporters of the Ultimate Ellsworth gimmick!"

[1.0] "I'd say this guy is not worth my time writing a review on, but I feel like I should give a review on James because LMFAO. James Ellsworth is an incredibly bad wrestler who was used for comedic relief during the Smackdown LIVE era, It would have been okay if WWE used him for a few weeks in 2016 but nope, they had this guy beat AJ Styles, a man who had proven himself over the years to be one of the best wrestlers in the business, and had to be Dean Ambrose's sidekick, what an absolute circus. It didn't stop there as he became the helping hand for Carmella, a wrestler who was atrocious back in the day until she finally parted ways from James and improved somewhat in the years following the two splitting up. These flaws are not getting into his personal issues which I am not even going to talk about. I hope WWE never brings this guy back and thankfully they won't. I'll give James one point for actually being funny for a while, but once this guy lost all his "comedic aura", it became clear that he wasn't meant for the main roster scene or any real wrestling scene for that matter."

[1.0] "He got a job because he looked funny, somehow actually got over and... then got outed for being a terrible person. He wasn't a good wrestler, the only decent things I saw was an amazing AJ Styles carry job to make people think he might actually win. He is now strongly on the do not attend a show he is booked on list."

[2.0] "2 points for his matches with Styles (along with the whole "No Chin Music" gag) getting a good laugh out of me. His storyline with Carmella and Asuka was terrible for the most part. It makes him a former Ms. Money in the Bank! And obviously, he was indeed a joke in the ring with barely any actual skill."

[2.0] "I don't remember enjoying this guy too much. He was pretty much the WWE's modern-day Gillberg. He lacked in size, ability in the ring, mic skills, and just about everything but I guess he was good at being a clown in the ring. I don't know what else to say about this guy."

[3.0] "Played the goofy comedy act just fine. Then got himself in trouble at one point and that sorta took a dump on his WWE career. Dude looked like all those other gawky preliminary jobbers but his character got him over. Wasn't around long enough to give him higher than a 3."

[8.0] "James is a great jobber and is a great heel on the indies. I met him when I was 12 and he was the nicest guy I had ever met. I am glad he is still wrestling and I can't wait for what's next."

[2.0] "Yep, James Ellsworth was originally meant to be a fun meme for a few appearances; but of course, WWE/Vince decided to kill any entertainment he had by giving him so much spotlight/TV time at the expense of great talents like AJ Styles, Jon Moxley, and Becky Lynch."

[4.0] "I've only seen a few of his fights in the indie scene and honestly only know him from 2016-2018 in WWE. Looking at 2016, I can rate it very positively: a fun, reliable jobber. The story between Ambrose and Styles was not very interesting in my opinion and James developed it very positively. Especially since I found Ambrose from those years boring. James lost in quality in 2017, since his alliance with Carmella, it started out fun and then it only got worse, especially since his brief return in 2018."

[1.0] "Dude had more WWE Championship opportunities than guys like Cesaro, Drew Gulak, etc... That's kinda sad. Also, he was pure trash in the ring."

[2.0] "a wrestler who was useless in WWE. Yes, it had some funny segments that almost ruined AJ Styles and the women's division. His in-ring was bad."

[0.0] "I kinda liked Ellsworth as a comedy guy, his schtick didn't always work but it was fine at times. Then it turned out he's a gross piece of shit. I can't believe there are companies that are still ready to have this guy work for them...."

[0.0] "Annoying, a joke. I hated James Ellsworth when he was in WWE, why was he even qualified? Absolutely no in ring talent, annoying voice and did not get anywhere. He was shoved down everyones throats with WWE pointlessly pushing him for some reason and the *worship Ellsworth* shit people were doing for a while everywhere only as a joke. I cannot think of one thing James Ellsworth had going for him that contributed to wrestling in a positive way, he looked and acted like he was not even trained just thrown in the ring."

[3.0] "Literally got over due to embracing his role as a jobber in the business, but got overused to the point of getting strong X-Pac heat, and has essentially pissed away any possible roles with his antics."

[0.0] "Bad on the mic and in the ring. Doesn't have the look or charisma necessary for the WWE. He had a small amount of potential as a manager, but was booked horribly. He was also overpushed way too early, getting him way too much go away heat."

[3.0] "Came in as a one off & got over by accident. Though he was never good in the pure sense of the word, he did have a role to play that worked for a few weeks. However I would certainly argue that WWE ended up pushing him harder than he should have been. Had his entire run lasted no more than a month, I think we would have looked back on the Ellsworth experiment a bit more fondly. But having him pretty much dominate AJ was sad. Oh, and everything he did with Carmella was the shits."

[0.0] "We all know Ellsworth was never meant to be taken seriously and his success was a stroke of luck for a reason. He's abysmal on the mic and in the ring, he could fit in at a backyard wrestling company, not a global one. Bad. Just bad."

[4.0] "Ellsworth was a great example of making the most of an opportunity - he was a decent in-ring worker, but had not even close to the kind of look or physique WWE would normally go for. But, when booked for a squash match against Braun Strowman, he was able to turn his "any man with two hands... " line, and himself by extension, into a meme and then parlay that into an actual run with WWE as an underdog face, and when that character began to wear thin, turning into an effective obnoxious heel. Even after his release, he continued as a regular independent fixture while still making recurring WWE appearances. Unfortunately he effectively torpedoed his career when he was caught sending inappropriate photos to a minor."

[2.0] "Okay worker, one of the least believable looks in all of wrestling, massively overpushed in WWE, and a shitty person to boot."

[1.0] "He's a joke! The worst wrestler of modern day wrestling. Never seen a jobber on a main event show. He is ruined Smackdown and WWE at that time. Making AJ Styles bad but finally Styles beat him. Ellsworth is too skinny. He can be a great crusierweight. He should have been in the 205 Live. He is better in the indies. I was right he did not last in WWE that long. In the years to come I say people will forget about him just like "Gangnam Style"."

[0.0] "This guy was a complete joke in WWE And now, thanks to recent events, we know that James Ellsworth is a piece of total pond scum who sends pictures of his junk to young girls. And when you engage in behaviour that borders on paedophilia, you only get one rating."

[0.0] "This guy should be thanking his lucky stars every damn day for the rest of his life that WWE even had the time of day to even take a glance at him. One of the luckiest no-talent hacks in modern professional wrestling history."

[0.0] "He was fine at first but now he is pain in the a**. I realy hoped he will not return, but he did and I hate it. His staff with Braun was fine at best. After his first match with Styles, he should have just leave."

[3.0] "He has some mic skills but that is literally it. He is the literal embodiment of a jobber. Heck, that was his gimmick in WWE. A 3 rating is just under adequate on this sites rankings, which is appropriate for him."

[3.0] "He was an entertaining sideshow for awhile and made for truly entertaining moments. A true underdog story but outstayed his welcome just a little two long. Props to him for making the most of his opportunities. Has an impressive superkick."

[0.0] "Sorry, he was quite entertained at first, but then he got stale so quickly. A chinless jobber. Nothing less, nothing more. The comedy he made was not good, it was boring as hell. Why is he kept on tv all the time ? Got a story with carmella, which i thought was stupid. Now get the fuck out of SD ASAP."

[6.0] "Bow down to Ellsworth ! This guy should've been just a joke, but the joke passed Strowman, feuded AJ Styles and survived a heel turn. This is lots of accomplishments for this kind of non-wrestling comedy act. Now that Ellsworth found a niche, but steady role as Carmella's valet, he may be the most successful "guy meant to be a gag" in WWE history."

[0.0] "Doesnt even deserve a 5. Wasnt funny to begin with and i am so fucking glad to see that his 5 minutes of fame are done. Hes probably made enough money now to live comfortably, he can go back to the indies and advertise as a former WWE superstar. Now just let it end, give his spot to someone who deserves it."

[2.0] "He's funny, but the act is growing old. The jobber in the spotlight was cool the first couple weeks, now he's being overexposed. If WWE wants him around just sign him and make him the new Brooklyn Brawler, just not watering down the Styles/Ambrose feud"

[1.0] "He was only good as a one-off thing. Don't understand what WWE saw in this chump when they signed him, other than his T-Shirt sale did good one time. It was fun while it lasted and now Ellsworth's overstaying his welcome in WWE."

[0.0] "Ellsworth is one of the worst wrestlers Ive ever seen in the WWE. He is the whole reason I no longer watch WWE Smackdown and having him beat wrestlers like AJ Styles just makes the WWE look like even more of a joke than it already is. His entire run is based off of one stupid catchphrase he used before getting squashed by Stroman and that match should have been the last time we ever put up with this filth."

[1.0] "God only knows why the hell is this guy in the main event zone of a main show. His booking of the "underdog"just doesn't make him an underdog, it makes him so intolerable and the fact that he has earn a title shot and Cesaro not even one just makes me so sick. It's a disgrace and an embarrassment"

[7.0] "Maybe one of the biggest draw of the year with AJ styles. He is good in what he does : untertains. But when it comes ring skills, it seems impossible to juge him because of his ultimate jobber role."

[6.0] "Good wrestler at indies, good underdog at WWE. probably in the future we can see some of his real work"

[1.0] "This guy is a complete joke and is exactly what he was brought in as a jobber. Frankly he looks weird and has no physique whatsoever. I cannot stand his pantomime and exaggerated expressions. The only reason he is over with a lot of fans is because ratings are so low and this guy comes off as a parody of the actual WWE product. People are getting a perverse pleasure in watching this freak get the crap beat out of him. This guy will be gone once the novelty has worn off. The only positive thing that I can say about this guy is that he delivers a decent super kick."

"It's unfair to give him a rating solely on his squash matches in WWE, so I'll just say what I think of his recent time there. It was a fine few weeks to start out with, but on a personal level, I believe the story should have already ended. He was originally used to help build the story between Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles, but now I think they're using too much time on him. Not a bad wrestler, but just someone whose too much in the limelight."

[8.0] "Surprisingly natural underdog promo, and people can pick on him to get easy heel heat. If he's getting stale (which he is), he can possibly play a good heel, specifically a manager."

[3.0] "Well, James Ellsworth is bad even for a job guy. James doesn't have a look, his gear is crap and he can barley work. So sure, why not make him a star for a very short period of time? It does make prefect sense! I hope for him he'll know how to take advantage of this and make himself a decent short career as an indy star."

[10.0] "Good seller, funny and entertaining guy right now. Hope he'll sign a contract with WWE or something and we'll see him again soon."

[6.0] "Ellsworth is pretty good for what he is. No one expects him to have a technical master piece or throw people around the ring. With his size, he needs to know how to sell, and this guy sells like a boss! Thing is with him, is that he some how managed to connect with the crowd, which is the most important thing, even if his connections is due to the fact the he's basically a meme. LONG LIVE The legend of Ellsworth!"

[0.0] "I really wish everyone will fuck off about James Ellsworth. Rating him a 10/10 is retarded. We havnt seen him in a full match were he actually does something yet. He didnt deserve to main event SmackDown twice with AJ Styles let alone beat him! Only thing we will remember about him in a month will be his small ass chin."

"I'm not going to rate this guy because so far he hasn't had any real matches so to speak, so I don't know how good or bad wrestler he really is. But I will say this - he's been great in this role on SmackDown so far and he's over. That's all you need for a guy like Ellsworth."
