Michael Modest

[6.0] "Michael Modest is an underrated talent. He was a well considered wrestler of the early 2000's, with some appereances of WCW. He wrestled mostly on Pro Wrestling NOAH, but also had time to be featured on Beyond the Mat and even had a small stint on early ROH, but sadly he burned bridges with Gabe Sapolsky so he never came back. Later in his career, him and his tag team partner Donovan Morgan created Pro Wrestling Iron, where they trained some talent and also had some shows. Thanks to his time as a trainer he showed a new generation the strong style him and Morgan had learnt in Japan. Some of this talents, such as Hook Boomberry or Apollo Khan had a role in early PWG. His run in ROH only lasted one show. He teamed up with Bryan Danielson in the tag team title tournament and there he showed some stiff strikes and powermoves. He was a decent strong style wrestler. I recommend watching a documentary about him to know more about him, it's called The Natural One: The Story of Michael Modest."

[8.0] "A personal favourite of mine, "The Natural One" Michael Modest might be one of the most underappreciated and underrated professional wrestlers of the last half century. People usually point to his NOAH work as the main highlight of his career and rightly so, but I think people very much forget that Michael Modest had a creative mind and was a good promo, not to mention he was also very good at comedy. This guy has gave so much back to professional wrestling that he will be forced to be remembered wether Gabe Sapolsky likes it or not. Excellent In-ring work with a natural charisma, as Roland Alexander said "For him not to have a contract, is a travesty". Please if you havent already watch his matches."

[6.0] "Michael Modest was an extremely underrated performer in the 90s and had some of the best matches on the independent circuit in APW. He trained several great wrestlers at the time and was one of the stars of Beyond The Mat. Though this didnt do much for his career, he briefly worked for WCW and had a great match with Chris Daniels (despite the botch). He and Donovan Morgan traveled to NOAH in 2001 and put on banger after banger as well as great matches in Pro Wrestling Iron, one of the best indie promotions. Modest can still be spotted in Las Vegas wrestling and FSW."

[6.0] "Michael Modest was a solid worker, who may have had a decent run in WCW if he had better timing; Kevin Sullivan wanted to bring him in, but by the time a contract could be offered, Sullivan had been ousted and Russo and Bischoff took charge. Modest subsequently forged a fine career in Japan and in the Californian independent scene, although he never got the recognition that he deserved."
