[4.0] "He was ok in WCW and not so watchable in WWF. He did have a solid amateur background, but his matches were prodding and usually made me change the channel. Lower mid card guy in my opinion that had more potential on paper if they packaged him better and with a different attire that made him look like a typical fat guy with limited skill."

[2.0] "As an early teen I liked what I saw and thought he had potential. Cool/unique look and a legit amateur background helped with credibility. As an adult however... I see a guy who doesn't really know who 'Maxx Payne" was. His enhancement matches were/are still pretty good, his tag team matches are watchable for sure but Cactus Jack makes EVERY AND ANYTHING much MUCH more watchable. So where do we steer very wrongly? Singles matches against actual competition/true workers. The one against Dustin Rhodes at Superbrawl 93 exposed him: His selling was poor, his psychology was rough and he was blatantly out of shape; he had no business being there. He later went on to do nothin the WWF, except gaining even more weight and finding himself blackballed from the biz' Sheesh. and his guitar playing is sloppy on top of it all. 2.25 rounded down."
