[5.0] "Erik & Ivar unfortunately haven't been compelling tag team partners to me in a while. There's a certain novelty to a tag team with two massive and athletic guys, but I feel like they've been using that as a crutch for their declining workrate lately."
[7.0] "He's pretty good. He isn't anything special but I think he's solid enough in just about every aspect. He has a great gimmick and can put on some great matches. I loved the tag match at NXT takeover new york."
[6.0] "I've never been too much a fan of War Machine. Or the War Raiders. Or the Viking Experience. Or the Viking Raiders. But they are a true tag team during a time when those are needed. So that in & of itself makes them a welcome part of the roster. But beyond them being a good part of a tag division, I find them kind of lame. He's a little better than his tag partner, but only slightly."
[5.0] "While definitely not as good as Ivar, Erik is still a good enough wrestler. He is a believable brute and looks the part of a Viking alongside Ivar. While their Clash of Clans inspired gear at WrestleMania 41 was somewhat laughable, they still cut an intimidating presence."
[4.0] "Für derartige Gimmicks kann ich mich einfach nicht begeistern, sowas möchte ich nicht sehen und eine derartige Darstellung der Athleten hilft keineswegs weiter Professional Wrestling als Kredibilen Leistungssport zu etablieren."
[3.0] "Man, I was a big fan of the war raiders in NXT. They would have these amazing tag matches, and it was especially awesome to see two big guys (especially Ivar) do crazy stuff. But now, with their current gimmick, it has just become unbearable, and a sad sight to see. Erik has lost his step. a LOT. he's gotten a lot chubbier, and in the ring hes not as good as he was in 2018."
[7.0] "Good tag specialist. He does not show great charisma or mic skills alone but is still good in the ring. Once you pair him with Hanson he instantly got better in the ring and with his charisma."
[9.0] "Finde ihn sogar noch etwas besser als Hanson. Richtig starker und sehr beweglicher Mann. Sehr schön das es ihm wieder besser geht hatte ja 2014 einen sehr Motoradunfall. Viel mir wie Hanson beim Top Prospect Tournament 2014 sehr positiv auf. Richtige Entscheidung auch ihn für ROH zu verpflichten. Zwar ist Rowe jetzt noch kein Main Event Material aber im Midcard besten geeignet. So ärgerlich als ich gestern was schrieb wurde es nicht übernommen ich war richtig verärgert. Nun nochmal. Ich gehe nicht auf seine Zeit nun ein. Er ist schon sehr lange aktiv und nun auch schon einige Jahre bei der WWE. Leider ist er aktuell verletzt und das ist Mist. Mit Ivar hat man aktuell auch nix geplant."
[6.0] "Meh, in WWE he hasn't really shown much, you can see that he has potential, but he really hasn't shown anything yet to surprise you, although sometimes he has his spots, he also lacks technique and more things."
[5.0] "Ray Rowe was boring in ROH, boring in NXT and now once again boring in WWE. He is the weaker member of his tag team with Hanson, because Hanson might be boring but at least has some cool moves."
[10.0] "Hard To Kill. Coming from a motorcycle accident, he's still fights like that whole incident was a mosquito bite. Technically sound, hardcore brawler, excellent grappler."
[7.0] "A rugged brawler with an array of impressive suplexes in his arsenal, Rowe first gained major national attention in ROH's 2014 Top Prospect Tournament, where he placed in the finals. Following the tournament he formed a tag team with the man he was defeated by, Hanson; collectively known as War Machine, they are one of the more impressive big man-power tag teams to come along in recent memory. After several months off after sustaining serious injuries in a motorcycle accident, Rowe has returned to the ring seemingly not losing a step, and he and Hanson closed out 2015 by winning the ROH World Tag Title at Final Battle."
[9.0] "Thank God he came back from that horrific motorcycle accident. I was afraid we were going to lose one of the hottest young stars (and one half of the best new tag teams) in Ring of Honor. But thankfully he pulled through, rehabbed, and came back bigger and badder than ever. He and Hanson are the most powerful tag team I think ROH has ever had. Rowe, while not possessing his partner's agility or ability to do cartwheels, makes up for it with a solid amateur background that allows him to execute sick, powerful suplexes reminiscent of Taz. He and Hanson are going to go down among the greats, I can tell already."
[7.0] "Im hot prospect Turnier bei RoH hat er einen bleibenden Eindruck hinter lassen. Ziemlich wuchtiger Typ, der auch 120-Kilo-plus Wrestler mal eben wunderschön durch den Ring schleudern kann. Mit dem ist zu rechnen. Update: Ist auf dem besten Wege, sich bei RoH gemeinsam mit Hanson zu etablieren und macht weiterhin einen guten Eindruck. Daher gebe ich sieben Punkte."
[10.0] "As well as his tag team partner in War Machine, I've really become a big fan of Raymond Rowe! Here we have a very tough big guy with an awesome beard and some awesome tattoos on his body who has an amateur wrestling background, who is very athletic for a guy his size, and who has proven along with Hanson that he can go in the ring with the best of them!"
[8.0] "Raymond Rowe is a great technical wrestler who can brawl just as good. With this new tag team he has formed with Hanson as well as their stable with Elgin, it is quite clear the ROH sees something in him and so do I. For those who would like to check him out should check the recent match he had with indy veteran Chris Hero."
[7.0] "Ray Rowe ist einfach nur cool. Es ist gut, dass er beim IWC J-Rocc los ist und nun als Singles Wrestler unterwegs ist. Auch er hat viel Potential und ich denke, dass man auch von ihm noch viel sehen wird."
