Monty Brown

[8.0] "Had the look, the charisma and the in ring skills. Genuinely tragic he never made it to where he should have. Unlucky to be caught in Jarrett's Reign of Terror and in WWECW. Amazing human to look after his family."

[9.0] "Bro he looked like an absolute beast and his finish was the pounce. What more do you want? Amazing promos, fun and intense in the ring, charisma off the charts and funny as hell too. Only reason he's not a 10 is cos he was only in the ring for 6 years and neither TNA nor WWE made full use of his potential. I just wish we had more of him but he was awesome whilst he was wrestling."

[8.0] "Really entertaining powerhouse of a wrestler. It's a shame we'll never know how good he COULD have been due to his early retirement."

[9.0] "Monty Brown possessed so much unique charisma in the sense that he was able to be both intimidating and funny at the same time. His impersonations of The bottom of the food chain always gets a chuckle out of me. He also had the look and power to be a star. He did have some botches, but for the most part looked very competent in the ring and had fun matches. Its a shame TNA never made him world champion. Feel the POOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUNCE PERIOD!"

[8.0] "Enjoyed his TNA run where he was presented as a top star. In WWE ECW he did not stand out as much but was still enjoyable to watch. When he got the opportunity to show it he had good charisma and mic skills and did well in the ring. Unfortunately, things outside the sport made him retire early."

[10.0] "Monty Brown was an absolute beast that deserved a TNA title run 5 times over yall are bastards for this low rating"

[9.0] "Only 6'! .......this guy is entertaining as hell, highly charismatic, good to great mic skills, and enjoyable fighting style, if he choose not to retire he would be making something special out of his career."

[8.0] "Very unfortunate that Monty Brown (Marcus Cor Von) retired so early. This man was a killer in both TNA and WWE and The Pounce is such a brutal finisher, it's fantastic. Good promos as well and a great character in many aspects. Out of the four guys in the New Breed, Cor Von had the most potential to be a legitimate champion and was a shining star during the WWE reboot of ECW. Have not heard much from him since he retired though, hope he's doing well!"

[6.0] "Monty Brown was a guy who looked like he had it all, but that was mostly because he was very charismatic. His in-ring skills was respectable, but nothing amazing, and when he arrived in TNA there were a lot of guys who could outperform him in that regard. His promo skills were very good, however, and I think with time he could have developed into a big star."

[8.0] "Unbelievably charismatic, enough for multiple wrestlers. Excellent look, and tons of mic skills. Every promo I saw from him in TNA he shined so much and came across like a big deal. Very good power based wrestler, and innovator of The Pounce, which was such a simple yet amazing move to see. Very unfortunate he didn't win the top title in TNA, cause he had every single quality to do so."

[7.0] "Was exciting in TNA. Very strong and agile. He was great at busters, powerslamming and bombs. I think he was a gifted wrestler in my opinion. When he went to WWE he was not used properly. It's too bad he retired so young and had a very short career."

[6.0] "He was one of TNA's original main eventers & he had a lot of fan fare back in his prime. Never my favorite, but his Pounce was a unique finish & the way he hit it was really explosive. I remember WWE trying to get him for a few years, but by the time they finally did, WWE-ECW was just starting & he was sent their to die next to the other New Breed characters."

[6.0] "Monty Brown was a decent hand, who had good charisma, and wasn't that bad on the mic. Brown had tons of potential, but outside distractions meant that that potential would never be realised."

[8.0] "Super underrated here. Monty Brown was an exciting performer in his TNA days, and a guy who should've been a World Champ there. While not a great worker, Brown was good enough as a power man in the ring, and he had tons of charisma and delivered great promos at a time when TNA's roster was largely made up of good workers without a lot of charisma."

[6.0] "One of the greatest lost opportunities in all of wrestling. In TNA, he was a consistent part of the main event picture between 2004 and 2006. He had boatloads of charisma (which made him at once both entertaining and threatening) and the devastating "Pounce" finisher. Plus of course, he was a two time veteran of the Super Bowl. He had all the makings of a mega star, yet just when it seemed like his hard work was about to pay off in TNA... he left for WWE. His name was changed to Marcus Cor Von (losing the celebrity status that came with his football career) and he was left to flounder directionless in WWE's fake ECW before being fired after less than a year. Understandably dejected with the business at this point, he retired and is now a personal trainer and clothing designer in his hometown of Detroit. His in ring career was short, and greatness was just within reach, but he never got it, which is a damn shame because he's one of the most memorable characters to come out of TNA."

[7.0] "With a lots of explosive power as well as a good deal of personality and intensity, Brown was a wrestler who could potentially break through to the main event, and seemed on the verge of doing so several times in TNA. His Pounce finisher also made him one of the very few outside the X-Division to take full advantage of TNA's six-sided ring. After his contract expired he went to WWE and ended up on the ECW brand as Marcus Cor Von, where he never quite caught on (or perhaps WWE was less inclined to give him a full chance since he came from a rival company). Retired while still in his prime; who knows what might have been."

[8.0] "Excellent look, size, athletism, original gimmick, decent finisher and fantastic promos. He was misused by TNA and WWE but he really could have been a main eventer if given the opportunity to develop. Abruptly retired when he still had a few good years left. He entered wrestling at a very advanced age coming from a football background so he was never going to be a great worker, but did a decent enough job of working the power style and could work with guys that will help hide his inexperience. Unfortunately he was phased out of the main event picture once TNA started hiring all the former "big 2" stars. Had a forgettable and short run in ECW as Marcus Cor Von, never really had the chance to get on track."

[7.0] "It's unfortunate that he had to retire, because he had a good deal of star potential. While he wasn't a master in-ring technician, he had good presence, and his matches were fun to watch. But he left wrestling for the right reason."
