Erick Redbeard

[6.0] "The last surviving member of the Wyatt Family and a very decent big guy. Has a great look about him, and is able to go in-ring for somebody his size. WWE tried to push him as a face for a while, and it kinda worked? But he's just far better suited as a heel. Mic skills aren't that great but when you're that big, you let the size do the talking really. Happy to see him back in WWE paying tribute to Bray & Brodie."

"Great enforcer for the Wyatt sicks. The crowds are behind him every time he does something. He does a great job being emotional and adding momentum to the Wyatts' matches. His promos have been very good. He has présence too."

[6.0] "He's a solid big man. Hasn't done a thing noteworthy since returning to WWE but with what he's had he's been fine I guess."

[7.0] "One of the more underrated big men of his time. Not the most impressive in-ring, but a sound worker with a consistently imposing presence, and an eye catchingly unique look."

[8.0] "Shocked to see Rowan's average below a seven, never mind a six. Somewhat limited in the ring and has had his fair share of crap storylines but the guy is as imposing as more or less any big man we've seen in WWE, or pro wrestling as a whole. Great in the wyatt family, and hopefully in the wyatt sicks"

[6.0] "Erick Rowan is one of the most psychotic looking wrestlers I've ever seen. His various sheep masks always cut a scary image. In ring he isn't going to be winning any wrestler of the year awards but he is always a good person to have around. He really shined in his role as Daniel Bryan's enforcer, probably the run of his career. Even when he was given crappy gimmicks like the robotic spider in a cage, he gave his all to make them work and that's something you can only respect."

[5.0] "I think he is just average, he is just... Rowan. He is not bad, Nothing really stood out of him, in the Wyatt Sicks he was the least interesting one in the faction, and even after that he still wasn't even more intersting."

[8.0] "Erick Rowan has succeeded at every role he's had excluding horrible 2019 creative. His tag work with Brodie is absolutely incredible, but my favorite era of him is right now. As a badass face who honors his fallen family he is just perfect. I'm happy to see the opinion on him shifting recently to be even more positive. He is not "just Rowan.""

[7.0] "While not being the best, he is a solid worker. He is not there in the mic, so he compensates with an imposing presence. Consistent in-ring performances that are appreciated. Not the best, but still worth watching. He does the best when paired with others, as it covers for his weaknesses."

[8.0] "Not really good technically speaking in the ring, as he was decent when it came to more brawl/fight type of matches or when he was paired with other members of the Wyatt Family in which then he fit in perfectly. The forgotten member of the Wyatt Family who did his part despite being the less talented member in the ring & on the mic, but he was still a great worker nevertheless. Maybe if he came to WWE during the Ruthless Aggression era, he would have been treated better, especially since he can definitely show that Ruthless Aggression element in his matches. At the end of the day, for what he will be most remembered for, he continued to be praised for his contribution with the Wyatt Family as they had those crazy six man tag matches against the Shield."

[6.0] "I have a softspot for Erick Rowan, but man he is literally the Marty Jannetty of the Wyatt Family. Literally Harper, Wyatt, and Strowman had better singles career than Rowan, but Rowan did fine in the Tag Team Division with his stable. He also has one of the best theme songs, the banjo song is my favorite of his."

[5.0] "A big man with an admittedly striking look upon first viewing (mainly the beard), but not a lot of charisma and only fair ring work. Always had good chemistry with Luke Harper/Brodie Lee but Harper was much better of a worker. Enjoyed his time as the Redwood with Daniel Bryan but felt pretty interchangeable in the role. Enjoyed seeing him on I Think You Should Leave season 3."

[6.0] "I had a soft spot Erick, but he was never great on his own. In the Wyatt Family, the Bludgeon Brothers, teaming with Daniel Bryan or even as Death Triangle's "monster", he kills it in every tag team role, but I've yet to see a really good solo run."

[10.0] "He's my favourite of all time, the favourite member of my favourite stable, he's underrated in the ring and with the mic (his 2019 run proves it). I know it's bias, because he's the first wrestler i've ever seen on tv, but this is subjective. None gave me hype for wrestling like him. For me he's a 10/10."

[6.0] "Was a good member of a tag team or stable and got to work in many good ones. Did not have the charisma for a solo run. Did not get any good bookings or gimmicks solo either. Enjoyable when working with Harper, Wyatt or Bryan."

[6.0] "He can work with somebody who can talk and be more charismatic like what he do with the wyatt family but alone his don't have too much to show"

[6.0] "In terms of skills, the weakest point of the former Wyatt Familly. But is he really as bad as his ratings show? Not. Erick is a pretty fine giant, he doesn't have any great skills but he doesn't lack anything either. He was killed by a stupid cage and spider story, but he had some pretty fine shows before - The Wyatt Familly, Bludgeon Brothers, teaming with Bryan. And he has a really, really powerful voice ... Shivers go ..."

[8.0] "Doesn't deserve such a low rating when Corbin and Cass are rated higher. Rowan isn't as talented as other members of the Wyatt Family but he isn't bad at all. Great chemistry with Harper as a tag team too. In 2019 he really proved himself, had a great tag run with Bryan, showcased great mic skills when Bryan turned face and had an excellent match with Reigns on ppv, then they botched it by giving him a stupid cage storyline and jobbing him out to McIntyre. He could have had another great run with Harper in an alternative universe."

[6.0] "Erick Rowan/Redbeard is a rare breed in that he's a big man who's mostly a tag specialist, joining guys like Billy Gunn, Chuck Palumbo, and Hernandez. Doesn't sound like an amazing club to be in but those men are/were all good hands who would be (and have been) strong assets to have for any company. Something magical happens when Redbeard is surrounded by the right wrestlers; everything clicks and suddenly, just for a moment, he becomes the biggest bad-ass you've ever seen. Unfortunately that isn't his whole career, and pretty much everything he's done as a singles competitor has been mid at best. His promo skills aren't really much to speak of either, but honestly for the niche Redbeard fills he doesn't need to be CM Punk on the stick. Still, like those other guys I mentioned, he's a pretty solid hand and valuable to any company that he works for."

[5.0] "As Erick Rowan, unfortunately he just lacked any actual ability to impose his character. I thought he was quite good in the ring and overcame a pretty bad attire very well. He managed to serve as a solid backing to Daniel Bryan's sustainability run too. But without much time on the mic, he's almost judged entirely by his in-ring work which I'd describe as "capable", albeit it nothing that would really make you remember what he did."

[5.0] "The least gifted of the Wyatt Family, but still a solid powerhouse. Maybe he later can been a bigger star after leaving WWE and I would love to see him perform in Japan - after all, he was not terrible in the ring, and his talent was traced when he had a solo run and when he appeared on Talking Smack."

[7.0] "a good giant wrestlers. In tag Team with Luke Harper he was good. I also liked his solo run to the storyline of the spider. Its big shortcoming is the microphone."

[10.0] "Erick Rowan is a solid big man in the ring. He is very underrated and is also good as a singles wrestler. He is great in tag teams as Wyatt family and the Bludgeon Brothers are great tag teams. He and Daniel Bryan were also great."

[5.0] "A decent big man that fit in well with the Wyatt Family and the Bludgeon Brothers. Had a great look, and worked well paired alongside Daniel Bryan."

[10.0] "Eric Rowan is the definition of underrated. People hate on him because he is a heel and they fall for the story. But really he has done nothing but improve since he's gotten to WWE and he is a great wrestler now. He even has better promo skills than most of the roster even though he just started using them. It's insane how much Rowan has improved and it's really saddening that people take his hard work and overall commitment to excellence for granted."

[4.0] "He's okay. Not good, especially not for someone who apparently has over 15 years of experience, but no awful or anything. An adequate big man power wrestler."

[6.0] "He worked as part of the Wyatts, but since that ended he's been mostly used poorly. Actually, I did like him in the Bludgeon Brothers as well. But his singles run as a genius who had the mind of a child & his current gig with Bryan don't really work."

[6.0] "largely unproven. I feel he could've worked as a babyface had wwe not rushed the first split of the wyatts. I want to see him a match that goes at least 15 minutes."

[7.0] "A solid monster who plays the role of enforcer or tag wrestler really good. Never really been that great in the ring but he had a cool character with the sheep mask back in the wyatt family. Pretty sure i was one of the few who liked his 2014 face run. He got some nice pops and its a shame WWE never did more with him."

[5.0] "The weak link of the fantastic Wyatt Family stable, Erick Rowan is a big scary looking guy who specializes and thrives in tag team environments. In singles competition, however, he isn't very great. He's a big lug who just does big man moves similar to Luke Gallows. Outside of his looks, he is simply an "ok" wrestler in the ring and on the mic"

[5.0] "(Erick) Rowan is a solid big-man wrestler, who seems at his best in a tag team environment. He has most notably worked alongside Luke Harper as part of the Wyatt Family (and later spinning off as the Bludgeon Brothers), with whom he has earned tag team accolades both in NXT and on the main WWE roster. He hasn't yet shown the ability to truly break out and stand on his own, nor the charisma to capture the fans' imagination; so far it seems the role of tag team heavy or as an enforcer for other wrestlers will remain his ideal position."

[5.0] "Not the best in the ring and has no concern able personality. Time has been tough for Rowan in WWE but I think as part of the Bludgeon Brothers he has finally found his place and hopefully he can continue to surprise us. Remember that random dropkick?"

[6.0] "Rowan is a case of what you see is what you get. He's an odd looking fellow, but that really helps him rather than hinders him. He's not a worldbeater in the ring but he excels at power stuff and can move well for his size. He's never going be a capable single guy but works well in tag teams. He's the quintessential tag team specialist, and he's carved a good role for himself."

[7.0] "In my opinion an underrated pro-wrestler, Rowan is an histrionic performer who, despite a short moveset, can entertain thanks to his agility (impressive, since his size) and his scary appearence. He gives his best in tag team action, as his matches with Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper have proven over time."

[7.0] "On his own, he's not very good. He's got a different look, odd charisma, and I like his spinning heel kick thing. But him and Harper work awesome as a tag team. I stand firm by Usos vs. Harper/Rowan 2/3 falls at Battleground 2014 being one of my favorite WWE tag matches ever, and Wyatts vs. Shield is my favorite six man tag match as well."

[5.0] "I like Erick Rowan. There I said it. I also think that he was the anchor for the Wyatt Family and you felt his presence in the back ground. Also he seemed like Bray's most loyal henchmen from that faction. Now I don't think that Rowan will progress that much farther in the WWE as a singles wrestler. He is best suited as either an enforcer or part of a tag team or faction. On his own Rowan is a lost cause but he is a decent enough worker just not a stand out performer."

[3.0] "I rarely go below a 4, but I just think this guy is straight up badddddddd. He looks clunky in the ring and out of it, he doesn't talk on the mic, and his sorta dopey body language completely neuters the darkness of the Wyatts for me."

[7.0] "Erick Rowan is decent wrestler, but not one to expect a classic out of. Big Red has a unique charisma, can pull off creepy well, has power and suprising agility, and had an interesting short lived babyface run. His only weakness is the clear fact that he is the worst wrestler of the Wyatts, but Rowan has carved out a career for himself."

[2.0] "I have very little patience for Erick Rowan. He sticks out like a sore thumb alongside Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt, both of whom are excellent workers and one of whom is the best promo in the company. Rowan is slow, sloppy and lacks the intensity that the other Wyatt Family members possess. Even as a brawler he doesn't meet my expectations, with many of his moves looking flimsy and poorly-executed. He's better than Braun Strowman in the ring, but by all rights, he should be -- he's been in the business much longer. He also could work on his charisma, his promos, his facials, his attempts to look menacing... Rowan feels like a caricature of the kind of gimmick Wyatt and Harper easily nail."

[8.0] "Everything about Erick Rowan is old school. Physically, he looks like Bruiser Brody with red hair, and is as ferocious as him. He uses a num eric of old school moves such as clawholds, and Sgt Slaughter head vices. Everything about him is a throwback, which makes him so interesting. Sure, he isn't as gifted as Wyatt, or Harper, but he doesn't have to be. His style is perfect for a man of his size, and creepiness. He's also decently agile, with some of the better spin kicks I have seen from a male wrestler as of late, and sells moves solidly and realistically."

[4.0] "Currently a part of the Wyatt Family, Erick Rowan is clearly the least utilized member. While the group is supposed to be terrifying and dominant, it is Rowan who constantly takes the pinfall when they lose. After dominating the NXT ranks with Luke Harper, the duo and Bray Wyatt made their way to the main roster in 2013. The three men were impressive; while Wyatt was something the fans haven’t seen in some time, Rowan and Harper began to be one of the more dominant tag teams in the WWE. Their feud with The Shield was one of the best of 2014. The downfall began when he became a single’s competitor. As a part of John Cena’s Survivor Series team, Rowan always looked to be the odd man out. That continued when he would team with Ryback and Dolph Ziggler in hopes of getting their jobs back after being fired in storylines. However, after briefly reuniting with Harper, Rowan tore his biceps, and returned to the Wyatt Family once the injury healed. Continuing to be the odd man out even with the stable, Rowan’s future doesn’t appear to be too bright."

[3.0] "Below average at best. He was a guy who could be protected in a very good match by the superb work of guys like Harper and Wyatt."

[7.0] "Rowan is a good wrestler. He is a class entertainer and a great part of the now disbanded Wyatt Family. Without Erick Rowan, Bray and Luke would not have been as powerful as they were"

[6.0] "Not the best technical wrestler, to say the least, but he's working well with what he's been given to handle."

[2.0] "The weakest and least experienced of The Wyatt Family. His entire moveset is made up of nothing but generic moves that every big man in the business use. BORING as hell in the ring, although the sheep mask makes it interesting."

[4.0] "Seems to have improved tremendously in the last months, but is still nothing more than adequate."

[8.0] "Ever since Erick Rowan officially debuted on the WWE main roster as a part of the Wyatt Family, I'm liking Erick Rowan more and more than I ever did before. Sure Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper are still all-around better than him, but at least he's getting noticed along with those guys by having a sheep mask on when he's not competing and he has improved his in-ring work a lot more now than over the past 2 years I've followed his career in FCW and NXT."
