[2.0] "I never saw a match of his I liked. He had no charisma, but his in-ring work was decent. He's a restroom break wrestler. I don't think I'd miss a thing if I never saw any of his matches. And he had a stupid bowl haircut. Ugh."

[7.0] "Underrated as hell, multiple light heavyweight titles and put on some classics, to bad he was just another jobber in wwe's eyes though"

[10.0] "Underrated individual big time! One of the best British wrestlers. Very skilled , very technical, and an allrounder in the ring. He was also a cruiserweight in the 80's which was not common back then."

[5.0] "really talented wrestler as far as his mat work goes. No real charisma that I ever saw though. Sort of an early day curt hennig type maybe without the push? Im not sure about that comparison but Thornton went on to become a highly respected trainer because he really did know how to put on a realistic 'wrestling' contest."

[7.0] "Les was a very good worker back in the day, kinda sad that he ended his career as a jobber in WWF."
