[5.0] "i love contra unit and he is a good gimmick in MLW but i didnt saw him wrestler much in MLW, thay why i rate him with this score"

[6.0] "The dude is great for Contra Unit and there's a reason he does all the talking. I honestly missed his NWA World Title reign so I can't speak about how he was as a wrestler at his peak. I think at his age right now he's passable in the ring and can have a decent match. Most of the time in MLW he's in these chaotic matches so he's often protected by that."

[5.0] "Samael is a solid mouthpiece for Contra Unit. He can talk and has a good look. Mediocre at best in the ring, though, so he'd probably be better suited just being a manager who can get physically involved in matches than as an active wrestler."
