Josh Bodom

[1.0] "If anyone had told you in 2011 how Josh's career would end you would have a hard time believing them Josh started out with Chis Benoit style tights and style, he looked like he had put the work in and was being sought out by a lot of promotions, Josh looked really promising. But then soon after he adoped the 'Pure Bliss' attitude and started looking like a heel, but it wasn't his gimmick it was his real life persona, and he ruined a lot of things for himself: racist gestures got him a pounding in the ring, he got thrown off an AJPW tour (which I believe was a lifelong goal getting there) and of course the referee incident proved to be the last nail in the career coffin alongside a Speaking Out accusation. What a waste of a potential."

[2.0] "He had some potential, good technician but never really any good character work, if his actual assault of a referee had been a work we could have been on to something but instead he's just a real life POS. Good Riddance and hopefully never hear from you again!"

[7.0] "For what it's worth, Josh Bodom was a talented technician, and a promising talent back in the 2010s. Only one problem: he was a massive cunt. Him beating up a referee is an event that has been well documented, but theres also the fact that he was outed as a sexual harasser during the Speaking Out movement. I dont care how good you are, theres no room for people like you in the business. Judging him as a wrestler, which I have to do, he was good. As a human being? Absolutely disgraceful."

"Amazing how quickly one fucking stupid mistake is all it takes to ruin an entire career, I heard he had the potential to go far but his unprofessional attitude ruined any chance of him being trusted ever again. No rating as I never saw him in action"

"An unprofessional POS. He chose to "quit" as a final FU to the wrestling business, and blamed the referee that he slammed over an honest mistake."

[2.0] "good ritish wrestler and can be a future for british wrestling, but he just destroy himself by attack referee for real"

[0.0] "At one point, I considered Josh Bodom one of the best young wrestlers in the UK. He had fantastic matches with all sorts of opponents in RevPro, from other UK talent to US and even Japanese wrestlers. He especially shined at being able to portray a total douchebag heel. Sadly, I've since learned that persona was a lot closer to the real man than a character he created. There is NO excuse for his conduct against a referee doing his job, and if he didn't choose to quit wrestling afterwards then he should've been blacklisted from every company on the planet. There are plenty of great heels in pro wrestling that don't assault referees over a mistimed kickout, so Josh Bodom will not be missed."

[0.0] "Bruh he's not "El Ligero" but you did give a true point to this human garbage. After i heard stories about him kicked out of Japan tour, i knew he was useless and then he slammed the referee and ended his career for no reason and my point was proven right. Bodom shouldn't be next to any wrestling ring."

[0.0] "El Ligero had the look, the talent, and the charisma to be something more, too bad he wasted it all by being a piece of human garbage. I was high on this guy when I first saw him in WCPW and again in NXT UK, but after the Speaking Out Movement where he admitted to being a creep, I can't bring myself to enjoy anything of his."

[0.0] "I was high for him since his first italian foray five years ago, by admiring his natural talent, great look and outstanding athleticism. However, this cannot mend the fact he has been a terrible professional so far, with sorry excuses, a total lack of maturity and a prick-ish attitude. You can be a phenomenon but that alone will not excuse failing at being a serious worker."

[0.0] "Absolute piece of human garbage who has no right being anywhere near the wrestling business. I am glad he retired after his criminal attack on an innocent referee. He can beat on a man who is on the floor not defending himself but put him in a legit fight with someone and I bet he'd get his ass beat. POS who was never anything more than an average wrestler."

[0.0] "Absolute crybaby and glad that he has decided to leave the business. There is no place in this business for fake tough guys like Josh Bodom. A disgrace to the sport and hopefully one day he will get what is coming to him. Heard Pete Dunne would like to spend some time in the ring with him and teach him a lesson or two about what happens when you THINK you can actually shoot on someone."

[8.0] "Bodom is so boss that lame ass feds like Progress won't even book him. His moveset is great, very stiff strikes mixed with some flippy shit. My only complain would be that terrible finisher. Bodom plays the asshole heel like no one else (maybe he isn't playing lol) and it's just a matter of time before he makes it big time in Japan, whether it be All or New."

[9.0] "While I've heard some things about him not having the best attitude, as a talent I find Bodom to be one of the most underrated in the fast-growing UK scene. His look and persona as a heel is tremendous, and his offense is varied and exciting but never in a way that outdoes his opponents. He mostly dominated matches, but can sell if necessary, and quite well on occasion. His resume of great-to-fantastic matches in RevPro against the likes of Ishii, Hero, Starr, Dijak, & Ospreay is really impressive, and I hope to see him continue his hot streak."

[0.0] "When someone is announced for 2 shows in 2 consecutive weekends (in Italy, where it isn't so common to have british talents), he advertises the shows himself the day before departure, and then he never fights for no apparent reason (and without any sort of communication, if not lately by the promotions who booked him, who were quite surprised and sad about it) my rating can't be more than 0."

[10.0] "Josh Bodom is one of the best young up and coming wrestlers in the UK today. Always putting on strong entertaining performances with tones of charisma everywhere I've seen him. It's also good to see him bringing back the high flying moves as of recent too!"
