Thom Latimer

[7.0] "I honestly don't get the hate for this guy. His gimmick isn't entirely original & he's not the most amazing worker in the world, but he looks a million bucks, sells super well, can shoot promos with the best of them & his work as the maniacal " Bram" in mid-era Impact was super fun. I guess that peoples' main complaint about him is that he doesn't really stand out among the crowd, but really sometimes all you need is a solid meat and potatoes worker. I thought his match with Baron Corbin at MLP last month was totally awesome and meh, I just think he's really goddamn cool & badass."

[6.0] "Love the below comment about vitrue signalers who hold Latimer accountable for his mistakes. Some mistakes deserve the bad press that comes with it and he's no exception. That said Latimer has demonstrated commendable accountability by confronting past mistakes, achieving sobriety, and dedicating himself to mentorship. While his earlier legal troubles remain a blemish, his transformation and continued athletic success speak to his resilience and growth as both a wrestler and a person. As a personality and in-ring talent I find him mid at best but he's had some good matches and a solid run as champion"

[10.0] "At his size, athleticism and ring work he has a case for best wrestler in the world. There will be some vitrue signalers grading him lower because of his alcoholism-(he's sober now) and relationship with Flair, where the charges were dropped in what Thom called them pressed to hurt his career. He's an athletic technician who can brawl. He doesnt have a bad match and is arguably the Ace of NWA where he recently won the Ten Pounds of Gold. For the haters, go watch his matches in his 5 year stint in NWA. He always brings it."

[6.0] "Good look and solid in the ring. Willing and capable when selling, though he is somewhat lacking in charisma and the eye can drift away from his efforts. Promos are limited but serviceable when working with a better talker. Indulged in alcohol abuse earlier in his career and this behavior led to arrests - while he seems to have cleaned up in recent years, this puts a cloud over him. In some ways a throwback to an earlier era, it's easy to imagine Latimer as a top guy in the old British promotions system. Today's audience tends to crave a more acrobatic style and this further limits his opportunities."

[2.0] "Thom Latimer. Hes just kinda there I guess. Hes like a worse Nick Aldis and Aldis is like a four so I guess hes a two, also he was abusive to Charlotte Flair so hes just also not a great person at all."

[8.0] "Very impressed when I've seen Bram live. They have a great looks, and always put on a great look. It's interesting to see a gimmick that pushes something different from a jerk and white meat."

[3.0] "Too dull of a wrestler for me to even consider a decent rating. I have seen him wrestle on and off for about seven years now but every time I see him I still have to stop and think "wait, who is he again? "."

[5.0] "He's fine. Solid enough in the ring, but not really anyone to get excited about at all. His best work is his tag work in NWA."

[1.0] "An immensely boring wrestler in every possible way. Like watching paint dry in the drizzle. Managed to keep a job in TNA during its worst years. Trying to remember a single memorable thing he has done beyond being a meme for TNA always resigning him. Also a terrible human being the wrestling world doesn't need stinking up the joint."

[3.0] "Bram is a bad wrestler, his matches are always the same, and they are almost always very boring, he is also not charismatic. But in contrast, he has a good physique, and this has guaranteed him some success in some companies."

[2.0] "Big guy whose only indie big. Meh in ring and generic look. If he looked like Wardlow or Brian Cage I could understand his constant undeserved chances but he's just a 6'3 piece of luggage with the personality of a decomposing tree."

[1.0] "Really terrible wrestler, he bores me badly, I can't stand watching him, he never had a good match, he's also a terrible human being, I can't name one feud or match he had off the top of my head. the only redeeming qaulity he has was when he flubbed "2006 is the year of Bram" in 2016. Great Job Bram."

[4.0] "As intense as he was, Bram had one glaring problem. His matches were the same, slow, tired brawling. They all blended with each other. Brawl in the ring, slow to snails pace, throw out of ring, and brawl out there. There wasn't any energy behind the brawling either. I'm giving him 4 points because he had a strange, dark charisma, and he wasnt a terrible wrestler, just entirely uninteresting."

[0.0] "Very dangerous in ring worker. I don't know if the assault on Davy in ICW was a shoot or not, but it was brutal. He is severely overated and in a UK scene with so many talented guys, he still gets pushed far fucking more than he should and it's frustrating. Everyone gives off about Bram about his domestic issues. I think we should just all acknowledge that he's terrible first."

[2.0] "Dangerous in ring worker! Not worth any time really, it is beyond me why some promotions still book this man, I don't see the draw with him to be honest, The only reason I have given him 2 instead of 0 is because of his look, he has a decent look about him but his general ability is way below par."

[4.0] "Fantastic look. He truly looks as a scary World Champion. His promos are OK, a bit repetitive with the "I am edgy and intense" delivery. Really incapable of having a good, or at least a non-boring match."

[8.0] "How did TNA do so much wrong with Bram? You put him on an indy show, the guy is incredible, a big workhorse too (He recently won the Pro Wrestling Pride Heavyweight belt in a great 6-man match). But it's like he's not given the chance to do anything on the big stage! He's super imposing, looks the part, can work, and will work hard for you... Why has this guy not at least challenged for the belt?"

[0.0] "Even putting aside his domestic violence issues, which by some miracle did not end up with him being fired, the fact remains that Bram just isn't a good wrestler. I can't really think of any good matches, his attempts at intensity come off awkward at best, he's not a great brawler, doesn't have very good power offense, not much of a seller or a character, lousy promo... what do people see in this guy? I don't see it at all."

[4.0] "Disappointing, could be a top level talent but his behavior outside of the ring is detrimental and has tarnished his image and of the company that he represents. It doesn't help that he is mutating into some kind of feral caveman."

"A woman beater shouldn't be given the opportunities that promoters like TNA, ICW and RPW are offering him."

[7.0] "Since his debut in TNA, Bram has made a big impression in a short time. His intensity, look and propensity for hardcore-based brawling compliment his unhinged character. His initial push gave him important wins over established hardcore names like Abyss, Devon and Tommy Dreamer, and his feud with Magnus raised his stock further. If only there were a correctly-used TV Title still around in TNA for rising non-X-Division stars like him to fight over."

[9.0] "I think he is one of the most talented independent wrestlers at the moment. I loved him as a part of the Ascension in FCW/NXT, I thought he really shone and was much better than O'Brian. Now he is on the indies and I have bought every FIP PPV which he has appeared on. Although he problems with the law have messed up his career, I am sure with the amount of talent he has, he will bounce back and become a star."
