[1.0] "Reasonable worker with a knock-off Rey Misterio gimmick (to be fair, he was an ugly cunt), absolute shitbag of a human who should never be allowed to be around women again, even Mad Man Manson once joked in a promo "Ligero is going to be all over that" about a female ring announcer so even his mates KNEW how much of a creep he was and still let him be around female workers. If he never comes back to wrestling again it'll still be too soon. Wherever he is and whatever he does I hope he never finds peace because of who he is."
AbeLincoln wrote on 09.04.2025:
[1.0] "Outside the ring, he's been involved in some horrendous allegations, casting a long shadow over his career. This has tainted any positive contributions he may have made in wrestling. In the ring, he was a fine Rey Mysterio knock-off, bringing high-flying agility and speed, but he was always restricted by his problematic gimmick, which leaned heavily on outdated and somewhat insensitive stereotypes. His in-ring work, while competent, never stood out enough to truly make him a standout star. Given the way the industry has evolved and the serious issues surrounding his personal life, it's difficult to see a place for him in modern wrestling. His legacy, if you can call it that, is one best left in the past, and he should be forgotten sooner rather than later."

[8.0] "I can't ignore the bad things that Ligero did, following the Speaking Out movement exposing him. But as a wrestler, he was pretty solid. A mask that I always wanted to own, honestly, and he actually has some pretty good in-ring skills too. Typical high-flyer technician on the surface, yes, but he sprinkles him some of his own unique elements that always helped him stand out in the matches he competed in. A shame he went down a path so vile, because anyone would've been happy to book Ligero otherwise."
Lukeathon wrote on 19.08.2024:
[0.0] "Clearly not a nice person as others have been telling their stories on him, but also a really terrible person for the speaking out movement. There is no place for you in this business Ligero. Typical high-Flyer from the 2010's with admittedly the coolest Rey Mysterio rip-off mask. It's just very odd that there is a luchador from Yorkshire, he was decent in the ring when he tried but obviously could never cut a promo, could never develop a story, he was just there to do a few spots which is useless in the grand scheme of things, and that is what Ligero is as a human too, a useless excuse for a man who should be truly ashamed until the day he kicks the bucket. I will not miss Ligero, he did not let me down, because he sucked, he sucks and he will always suck."

[1.0] "I remember talking to him in late 2018 and he was kind of an asshole. Never forgave him for that. As for the wrestling, he was your typical high flyer from the british '10s. Plus, the whole speaking out fiasco happened"
hirsty97 wrote on 20.02.2022:
[1.0] "I had in person wrestling seminars with Ligero when I was training in 2018-19. I have to say he came across as impatient and rude. Dave Taylor was also there who was much better in every way. Judging by his matches in NXT he was one of the most underwhelming acts in a promotion full of underwhelming acts. His matches are monotonous and he's way too undersized to be a wrestler, his face also has to be hidden under a mask. No mainstream promotion will ever work with him again after speaking out."
HazJoseph wrote on 03.02.2022:
[1.0] "A gifted wrestler who was repeatedly accused of racism due to the nature of his gimmick, and whose career ended after he admitted to sending inappropriate texts to a teenage girl. Doesn't deserve any higher."

[0.0] "Doesn't deserve a better rate, good in the ring but one of the most asshole and scumbag in wrestling history so I'll just go by that and it's all he deserves"
Luv all wrestling wrote on 03.10.2021:
[5.0] "Well since I haven't seen an english comment mentioning this I'll be the first. Ligero is an abuser implicated in speaking out after multiple survivors came forward, breaking the trust fans had in him, got booted from the Fed & hasn't shown any remorse for his actions. Deeply disappointing to see a staple of so many britwres shows be such an unrepentant scumbag. Britwres died and it's people like Ligero that caused it"
KyleEnjoysWrestling wrote on 04.08.2019:
[6.0] "Wearing a mask as a wrestler comes with some pros, but there can also be some additional hurdles to overcome. It certainly makes for showing emotion a bit more difficult. This is an issue I've seen from Ligero since I've been watching him. It's also a problem that his mask really walks the line on being too comedic for his own good. I think he seems solid in the ring, but thus far on NXTUK he's mostly been an enhancement talent. I think something needs to be done differently to make people care about him."

[10.0] "Works for matches than days in a year. Can wrestle a variety of different styles. His heel work in Progress is phenomenal and it's hard to find someone he has not wrestled."
Ma Stump Puller wrote on 08.07.2016:
[7.0] "Great worker and a decent hand in the ring, being able to do a wide range of matches and seems to be able to have entertaining matches with anyone, which is never a bad thing. The gimmick sucks, however, with a basic masked man gimmick with nothing added and other people have done far more with that gimmick (Generico) then what he has done. Unless he pulls a Sami Zayn and gets rid of the mask, I can't see him reaching any real success outside of the independent circuit."

[5.0] "His wrestling is excellent, his physique is excellent and his schedule is intense... but his gimmick feels pretty racist in 2016? Cultural appropriation is a real thing and I'm not 100% comfortable with his phony Mexican schtick."

[9.0] "El Ligero is so good. He works so hard, travelling all over the country making as many shows as possible. I've seen him wrestle live now over a dozen times and each time proves just how good he is. He's able to do high flying, technical, hardcore or comedy, so talented and so much ability."

[8.0] "One of the best in the UK Wrestling scene. Superb high flyer and puts on some great hardcore/street fights."
sevendaughters wrote on 16.01.2014:
[7.0] "Ligero is a really tidy cruiserweight capable of working good matches with nearly anyone. What he occasionally lacks in psychology, he makes up for in raw entertainment and innovation. Local promoters like him because he's a solid banker: you know you will get a good ten-minute performance from him or electric hot tag in a six man."
