[7.0] "Better known today as a WWE referee, he was back in the 2000s a technically sound and very humble wrestler. The Vietnam Phenom was a star in Northern California before he retired in 2010."

[9.0] "Easily one of the greatest workers from Northern California that will ever work. His technical skill is only surpassed by his humility when you meet him. I've found myself speechless after watching his matches more often than not and that's without any hardcore stuff or anything else. One of the greatest, hands down. I believe he was trained by Big Ugly JD Bishop and I'd give anything to watch those two wrestle each other again. I know I saw him wrestle at Supreme Pro Wrestling in 2003, maybe even 2002, and he worked there until he moved up in his career."
