[5.0] "IDK how you can rate Herb Abrams because objectively he deserves a low rating: He was an incredibly lousy booker and unprofessional promoter, a bad commentator, and an absolutely whacked-out on-screen character. However, his story is absolutely fascinating. He was basically a money mark who made a fortune selling plus-sized women's clothing and then blew that fortune on, well, blow. And bad wrestling. Not to mention his mysterious death that somehow ended with him naked, covered in cocaine and baby oil, and chasing a hooker with a baseball bat. It's the stuff of legend, and he'll go down as having one of the biggest, craziest, most ambitious personalities in the history of pro wrestling, which obviously is saying a lot, so I can't in good conscious give him the low rating he deserves. I guess a 5 will have to do. Right in the middle."

[0.0] "I'm giving Abrams a 0 purely to balance out these other ratings cause there ain't no way he deserves a 10 hahaha. More of a 3 at the absolute best. The guy was an absolute nutter and in an industry like wrestling where drugging and boozing was the norm for the longest time, it'stelling that Abrams' infamous cocaine addiction is so well known."

[8.0] "This man may have ran a shitty company and was a terrible commentator but you can't deny that he left a big impact on the wrestling industry. He was the first real life authority figure of a major promotion to push himself as part of the show, way before Vince Mcmahon and Eric Bishoff, and he played a great heel and by the way ShooterMcShooter, that thing about him paying Steve Williams to break Steve Ray's nose was all a work to draw more interest to the match and people that have worked with him (Steve Ray included) have said he was a really good guy."

[0.0] "I guess the 10 voter was a joke or something. I can't see how anyone could legitimately give this guy a 10 vote. First of all, his UWF promotion was one of the most poorly run in the history of the business. In many cases wrestlers were not paid for their work, and in another instance, he paid Steve Williams to break Steve Ray's nose during a match because he thought his girl was fooling around with Ray. On top of that, just look at his final moments. I think that illustrates perfectly the horrible sort of person he was. Abrams offered nothing to professional wrestling or life in general."
