[4.0] "One of the original "Big Guys" in the sport. Only seen a handful of his late 70's early 80's stuff and he still had presence but had slowed down by that point I imagine. Need to find earlier works to justify bumping up the rating."

[9.0] "While Ron Simmons is often called the first African American World Champion, one could argue that was Bobo Brazil, who was also an unrecognized NWA Champion and two Time World Champion with the World Wrestling Alliance and World Wrestling Association. Regardless, Bobo Brazil paved the way for future African-Americans in the wrestling business. A popular star, regardless of the fans skin-color, he was a fine giant for his day, although I guess most of us only got to see Bobo after he reached his 40s, in which he was past his prime."

He's the drizzling s#its, he's PUTRID. Time has a really BIZARRE way of rewarding some things/people in life that had little to no positive merit. This is one of those cases. Awful. Completely terrible. AVOID."

[5.0] "I am sure in his youth Bobo Brazil was a good wrestler but unfortunately everything I've seen of him is from his mid 40's onward, when age and injuries had caught up with him. He was generally not exactly a pleasure to watch. He really tried his best but it's beyond obvious his best days were far behind him, and his matches in 70's AJPW were beyond horrible. A 5 out of 10 is fine here."

[9.0] "Incredibly unique wrestler, and I say that in the best way possible. Bobo Brazil was built like a rock and stood at 6? 6 and more importantly, he was one of the first black wrestlers to become a big player in a promotion. Even today, his legacy is felt when seeing guys like the New Day and Booker T. Those guys have Bobo to thank."

[10.0] "Great wrestler to watch. He was a pioneer for black wrestlers and breaking the color barriers in the 1950's. Brazil is a strong 6"6 wrestler naturally. Most guys his size don't usually have that. I love his headbutt move he does to his opponents. Man was fun to watch. One of the best US Champions."
