[6.0] "I know him more for his time during the late 90's as the on air commissioner feuding with Bischoff and the nWo and have only recently started watching his manager career of the Four Horsemen. Probably the best manager of the Jim Crockett 80's era."

[8.0] "Excellent manager/mouthpiece/talker. Wrestled like a manager, managed like a wrestler. Had a selling style that was in many ways one of a kind; quite cartoonish/overtly silly but accepted because of his role in wrestling otherwise. Seemingly never ages, has been 63 years old the last 4 decades. Did rather well as an authority figure in WCW also. More or less a fan but in many ways; if there was no JJ Dillon on camera, everything would have always still been perfectly fine. One of the behind the scenes movers and shakers but that kinda thing doesn't impact my ratings."

[9.0] "Fantastic manager for one of the most important wrestling factions of all time. JJ has had a long long time in the business as a singles guy in the territories, morphing himself to being a manager for a long list of talent before settling with the Horsemen. His time in the WWF second to Patterson and McMahon is pretty fine, though unremarkable during the new generation. Pretty interesting time in WCW per his autobiography, but not super notable as the commissioner."

[10.0] "One of the best managers of all time. Best remembered with he 4 Horseman. Smoked the cigar in a nice suit."

[8.0] "JJ Dillion is underrated as a manager because he's often overshadowed by Jim Cornette. Dillion was a very good talker, and he could be great at times. He was also great at ringside, with the way he carried himself in relation to how well his wrestlers were doing, Dillion made it seem like the fate of his wrestlers was of paramount importance to him, something not a lot of managers seemed able or willing to do."
