[7.0] "One of the best big men out there. Looks like if Mick Foley & Bam Bam Bigelow had a baby, it would be this guy. Don't let his physique fool you, he could slam guys like Andre, Studd, Bundy, and other giants in his weight range. Despite being 5'9 and 500lbs. He moved around better than most giants. Amazing athlete and wrestler."

[5.0] "Yeah, he could move well for someone over 450lbs, but he still weighed over 450lbs. This means he lumbered quite a bit and didn't have any variety in his moves. Throw in some generic mic work and you get my score."

[8.0] "Think a Bam Bam Bigelow/One Man Gang hybrid at around 5'9, but better (ie: faster) than that sounds on paper. Huuuuge waist line, but was light footed and quick on his offense. Mixed heavy duty powerhouse stuff with more explosiveness than most men half his weight. So yeah, "ahead of his time" is an understatement. Adapted well to the WWWF style and made the era more watchable. However, by around 85-86ish things just weren't that good and by then younger guys with a similar build (who were also certainly taller) used his style as a springboard to further their own career trajectory. 7.5 rounded up."

[10.0] "Crusher Blackwell was excellent in the ring. He was not a tall guy but a super heavyweight. He was super fast in the ring and for a heavy guy like him he could do flying drop kicks. Not a lot of wrestler could do that. He had great matches in the AWA. I like the matches he had with Bruiser Brody."

[8.0] "easily a top 3 bumper for guys over 400 pounds... i think not being taller hurts his legacy and also got sick and missed his potential run with hogan. was a better worker than guys like bundy and one man gang though."
