[6.0] "Pretty decent wrestler for even back then when the whole style of wrestling was pretty basic but this guy could turn it on when needed but he didn't do tell well with a mic in front of him so that took away from him but the crowd loved him pretty much."

[8.0] "Very great wrestler. Great at holds and very technical. Always liked the guy. AN Italian-Canadian wrestler that performed well throughout his career. Very popular in the Northeast areas in Buffalo, Montreal, Detroit and Toronto. He was great with Gino Brito. Great in WWWF. I liked how they billed him as the cousin of Bruno Sammartino. This man traveled all over the world to be who he was."
