[7.0] "Epico is an above-average high flyer who, alongside his cousin Primo, were a reliable tag team. They were solid wrestlers and had decent enough charisma. Whether it's as a plucky babyface team or a cheating heel team, they played their role in the lower midcard well."

[2.0] "a decent wrestler but with no charisma. WWE often tried to give them a second chance, but they always failed. There is no highlight in his career."

[3.0] "Life hack to tell apart Epico and Primo: If he's just barely okay, it's Primo, if he's pretty bad it's Epico."

[6.0] "He's good when part of a tag team. Can't really picture him as a singles wrestler. Has potential, but he needs to improve his promo skills."

[3.0] "If you're able to know which one is Primo & which one is Epico, then you're way ahead of me. Do they still work for WWE? Pretty much DOA on the intrigue scale. Failed with the matador gimmick & failed with the time share gimmick. They are good in the ring, but clearly that's not all there is to this business."

[4.0] "Epico's run in WWE has pretty much exclusively been a tag team run with cousin Primo, and though they've gone through numerous gimmicks as a team - some more successful than others - they have managed to remain fixtures of the tag division there for the better part of a decade now. Epico is a solid hand in a tag situation, but has yet to show signs of standing out on his own."

[6.0] "Not bad by any stretch, can work in the ring well but certainly lacking in personality. Certainly a better fit in tag teams."
Astraeus wrote on 04.11.2016:
[4.0] "Formerly known as "the more talented Matador, " Epico's gimmick change had potential. I think it was a good idea to unmask the Colons, as Epico in particular has pretty good facial expressions and nice comic timing. Unfortunately, the poor writing of WWE's creative team murdered the Colons' push, and Epico isn't charismatic enough to get the act over on his own. He's perfectly fine in the ring, and in past years, his lucha libre style might have been fun to watch. The problem is that Raw alone features Neville, Sami Zayn, Kofi Kingston, and now the entire cruiserweight division. That makes Epico probably the 10th best high-flier on Raw, and that's simply not enough to ride on. He's reached his ceiling as a mediocre tag-team specialist, and I expect that he'll continue in his current role as an enhancement talent."

[5.0] "Epico is and always will be a tag specialist. Compared to Primo, he's a bit better as a flier and as a mat wrestler, but he doesn't stand out from the pack in any way and his promo delivery is forced. It's not that he's bad, but Epico and his cousin will never be able to stand out in a company that employs Neville, Kalisto and Sami Zayn. Even the Usos fill their niche as a high-flying tag-team. This is a team that goes through the motions, not one that shines or manages to hold the attention of the audience."

[7.0] "Very underrated performer that has worked hard with what he was given. Not as talented as Diego, but still a pleasure to watch in the ring."

[7.0] "I really liked Epico back in his FCW days when he was a part of a tremendous tag team known as Los Aviadores with Hunico and they had such great tag team matches back then and I even liked him when he was a singles competitor on the side during that time because he was a good a singles wrestler also! Hell I still consider his 15 minute Iron Man match he had with Richie Steamboat as one of the best singles matches that Epico has had in his career! When he was a part of the Ascension stable as well a little before he got called up to the main roster and then Conor O'Brian and Kenneth Cameron branched off and became a tag team after that, Epico showed a more darker side to his character which made me like him even more! But now that he's paired up with his cousin, Primo and their manager, Rosa Mendes, it has made me become not so much a big fan of his anymore, but regardless of that being said, I'll never deny his great talents."

[7.0] "Epico is the technical wrestler out of him and his brother. While he can work as a high flyer, he is solid in his current role. I just hope he branches out a bit and tried to show more than just the brawler side of him."
