[2.0] "I get Cousin Junior and Luke confused all the time. Honestly, they were both just a jobbier version of the Bushwhackers before Luke and Butch came to the WWF. They didn't last long, and they spent most of their time losing. The Hillbilly Family must've been the crappiest stable of all time as far as in ring talent is concerned. Hillbilly Jim looked like Mr Perfect when compared to Elmer, Luke and Junior!"

[1.0] "Edit: Here was my original assessment: "Be he The Mongol or Cousin Luke; he was only a TREMENDOUS FAIL. This is what the fast forward button was made for. All of his gimmicks were the drizzling shits and his work not far off." And now the additional commentary: I must reluctantly give him some points, he had some matches (a couple were tag) with Gentleman Chris Adams that I could stomach. So we give him a Juan."

[4.0] "I personally think he was overrated in WWE because he was part of the "Hillbilly Family". He had a great smile on his face. He had some successful stints in Japan, Mid-Atlantic, AWA and the indy circuit. Overall he was not that good. The Mongol gimmick he had was shitty."
