Martin Kirby

[8.0] "I think he is the essence of the perfect Indy wrestler, so good he deserves something more, a veteran who has experience to spare... And personality to spare!"

[3.0] "I just don't get it, sure he's a nice enough bloke but I don't get the comedy and he's not great in the ring for me"

[6.0] "He's often brought a mix of light-hearted comedy and competent technical wrestling to his matches. He's never been the flashiest or most athletic wrestler on the card, but he has a good grasp of timing and crowd engagement, which helped him stand out in mid-card and upper mid-card positions. His matches were rarely classics, but they were consistently entertaining."

"I absolutely love this guy... incredible in the ring and a sound lad outside it. good on the mic and can always rely on him to connect with the crowd!"

[7.0] "Kirby was a good example of a comedy wrestler done right: guy can connect with nearly any crowd, be it snarky internet fans or casual watchers, can seamlessly go from underdog face to shithead goofy heel just fine, and was very solid at making himself stand out, even against people who athletically trumped him by a mile. His ring work was never crazy good but he knew what worked and what didn't, and getting the goddamn Sable Bomb over in the mid 2010's will never not be funny to me. Project Ego was also a great stint for the guy and showed he could excel at tag work as well, either as a goof/jobber or a serious threat. He was a super solid hand, even if he was basically destined for the indies with his antics and not exactly remarkable look."

[10.0] "A fantastic worker. Had the ability to win you over as a babyface with silly but charming antics, or annoy the piss out of you as a heel. I'm glad he got some serious exposure in the last few years of his career because he busted his ass and earned it. I hope he has a good retirement."

[10.0] "Martin Kirby is underrated as all hell. He is a good entertainer, good on the mic, and can wrestle with practically any style of wrestler, and still have a killer bout."

[9.0] "super all round wrestler and entertainer. Heel, face, clown or serious he will never let you down. Crowd will either love him or hate him depending on how he wants to play them and that is a sign of a quality showman"

[10.0] "I was never impressed by Martin Kirby, his shiny bald head, his pink shorts and boots... Who is this guy? ! Then he hit the Zoidberg Elbow... BAM! Wow, never before have I seen a move that destructive... And with that move he won himself the WCPW title.... Now I am a fan... Have my babies Mr. Kirby!"

[8.0] "Martin Kirby is a very good wrestler. He is a good comedy character, but can raise the intensity when he needs to. He plays to his strengths and always puts on good matches, and knows how to connect to a live crowd."

[9.0] "Martin Kirby is a hilariously funny wrestler, who can be either heel, or face, depending on how he's pushed; I've seen him in action in over a dozen matches now, and he's always good. The only thing I don't understnad is why he persists with the Zoidberg Elbow; it takes too long!"

[8.0] "Martin Kirby is the only reason to watch What Culture Pro Wrestling. He is an insanely fun character, very good in the ring, and is very adaptable to performing in different roles as needed."

[8.0] "Martin Kirby is a man you can put anywhere on a card and he will do great in it, as a jobber, comedian, serious wrestler, dork who can beat you up, and he does it all while being entertaining."

[9.0] "One of the most entertaining men in British wrestling. As a tag team with Kris Travis, Project Ego were the best team in the UK for years. Now, as predominantly singles competitor, he shows up at events all over the country and always puts on a great show. Great as a Heel of Baby, this guy can do it all."

[8.0] "Martin Kirby is one of the best characters in the UK, his in-ring skills are really good, never seen him have a bad match. Only thing that will hold him back is his size."
