He's just a big dude doing big guy things, he wasn't pulling out match of the years or anything, but I think he had some fun squash matches, he had pretty intimidating presence too, well until the Oddities. But hey that's pretty fun and memorable group, moreso than the damn Truth Commission."

Ruthless Attitude wrote on 18.08.2024:
[3.0] "He was terrible in the ring and his run a The Interrogator in the awful Truth Commission stable was 0/10 worthy, but he did have a much better spot when he was in with The Oddities where he would show a much more goofier side to himself and was embraced by the crowd for it and was infinitely more entertaining with that than being a monster heel! He still couldn't wrestle though."

[5.0] "For some reason I loved Kurgan. Ya, he wasn't great and mostly just a big man. I still always enjoy when I see him pop up in movies. Sometimes wrestling just needs a giant and its not like he was pushed to the top over better people. Perfectly serviceable for what he did."
Dynamax Dawn wrote on 15.01.2024:
[0.0] "I think he's honestly worse than Giant Gonzelez, like it's pretty damn close, but I think Gonzelez has a better look and was a better personality (at least in WCW) In ring their both atrocious though. I'm really not sure anything good can be said about Kurrgan. His babyface Gimmick borders on ableism too."

[2.0] "Oh great, another tall immobile monster gimmick. Seems like Vince McMahon was trying a new tall guy or a fat monster each year. They tried pushing him as a bad ass in late 97 and by mid 98, he was doing the comedy act with the Oddities. Had the look, just awkward and couldn't talk for shits! Would hate to see this guy have a presidential debate with Andre The Giant!"

[3.0] "Immobile, with a small arsenal of moves, but a really scary convincing wrestler. Kurrgan spent most of his career in WWF and I am not familiar with his performances outside the company, but there he was remembered as a monster interrogator, part of the military group, and later a member of the freak show stable. Pretty interesting changes. I think he was quite convincing in his alliance with the Jackyl, and although their partnership did not last long, this period of his career was the brightest for him. 3 points for this gimmick."

[7.0] "Man, whatever. Kurrgan rules. Pro wrestling should always have a place for strange scary big men squashing people. I don't need long competitive Truth Commission or Oddities matches, but just let him in there for 90 seconds with several impactful moves and then a claw to the face. Who doesn't love that? !"
OnlyHalfTheEffinShow wrote on 15.02.2022:
[3.0] "I'm only giving him a 3 because I like some of the movies he was in after leaving wrestling like 300 and Sherlock Holmes. That being said, as a wrestler he was unremarkable. A standard big man really. At least him and the Oddities were over I guess."

AnB wrote on 16.04.2021:
[1.0] "If you're into the big lumbering giants that have a hard time moving around and can't impress in the ring, then Kurrgan is the man for the job. I didn't understand the appeal way back and I don't understand the appeal now. At least he looks pretty intimidating and was pretty good at portraying a brainless, dangerous man."

[0.0] "He's one of those guys who were there ONLY because of their look , his in ring work was terrible & he lacks personality."

[2.0] "As a young fan, I remember when I first saw Kurrgan I thought he would be a force due to his imposing size. The Jackyl being his manager felt like a really good fit. Kurrgan also seemed to be in good shape for a big guy & he looked like he's be able to move better than other seven footers. But as it played out, Kurrgan ended up being a big flop. The Truth Commission faction was bad & the Oddities was even worse. I feel like he should have been more."

[7.0] "I liked him. He was great in the ring. too bad he did not get a big push in the WWF. He was great for his size. The gimmicks he had were great. He is now in movies like Sherlock Holmes and Pacific Rim."
Paul Allain wrote on 26.10.2017:
[8.0] "Kurrgan gets a bad rap, as he is not worse than other extremely tall giants type. He did well considering is very short career, had a memorable presence and, as a bonus, did a lot to enhance wrestling in the Maritimes region and was involved in his community witha pristine civic reputaion."

[1.0] "If he'd had even a bit of skill or charisma to go with his amazing look, he'd have gone far in the late 90's. As it was.... all he had was impressive stature. Glad to see he's done well for himself after wrestling, though."
DanTalksRasslin wrote on 18.10.2015:
[2.0] "A giant of a man, Kurrgan's first mainstream role was as the Interrogator, the enforcer of the Truth Commission stable in 1997 WWF, and continued with the group as it morphed into the Oddities. While the comedic version of the Oddities was good for a laugh or two and was a memorable fixture of the circa-1998 WWF undercard, in the long term it (along with his lacking in-ring ability) may have hurt his chances of being taken seriously as a threatening figure. After leaving the WWF in 1999, he had runs in Mexico and his native Canada, but has only appeared sporadically in wrestling since 2001. He has, however, been able to parlay his gigantic, muscular stature into a lucrative career as a character actor, with roles in such major motion pictures as '300' and 'Pacific Rim' and a recurring role in 2015 on TV in 'The Strain. '"

[1.0] "Even though the Oddities were a fun gimmick, Kurrgan was absolutely awful in the ring. He was one of those Great Khali or Giant Gonzalez type big men who could barely move, much less perform in the ring. I do have to give him credit where it's due as he seems to have successfully moved on from the wrestling business and seems to do quite well as an actor."
