[9.0] "I'd really like to see many more of his matches than are readily available. I don't know what happened in the first half of his career, but his later work has made me fall in love with him. This guy moved incredibly well for someone in his sixties and seventies. His fights are filled with fighting spirit. He uses various objects and the environment brilliantly to inflict damage on his opponents. Rest in peace, Esteban Mares Castaneda!"

[9.0] "Black Terry is a legend in Mexico, who dominated the indie scene for years. However, the current rating suggests he's one of the absolute best to ever do it, which is definitely a complicated statement when you have the likes of El Santo, Solitario, Blue Panther...even the currently actives Solar and Negro Navarro. Still, an absolute talent that would train an incredible amount of succesful wrestlers in Mexico. Rest In Peace legend!"

[8.0] "Black Terry seems like a legend of Lucha Wrestling. But I wouldn't really put him at the absolute top of the mountain wrestling when you have El Santo"

[10.0] "Calling Black Terry a legend in the industry would probably be an understatement, from UWA to CMLL to an old man indies run. Black Terry has done it all and done it excellently throughout his career, llaves, punches, title reigns, apuestas matches, anything you can think of then Terry has probably done it. If you have not watched a single second of this man then I would implore you to change that as fast as you possibly can, because you will not regret utilising your precious time on him."

[10.0] "One of the greatest wrestlers of all-time and I've barely ever even seen his work from before his 50s. One of the best punchers ever, and probably a top ten llave maestro as well. If I hadn't seen Black Terry in IWRG in 2010, I may have never understood how wonderful lucha libre can be. I love this old man."
