[8.0] "Wonderful wrestler who is an expert at submission style in a unique way as it was more frantic and defensive, often looking to catch her opponents rather than perform as necessarily a maestro of any sort. It was unique in comparison to others and the only thing holding her back both in terms of her push in JWP and in my own rating is that she faced serious injuries, and I feel that just can't be overlooked. Even before her tragic death she was wearing down in the previous 1-2 years. Her love of wrestling is both inspiring and tragic, but I don't feel she ever was allowed to become one of the biggest stars or best performers in the entire scene while she was alive unfortunately. It's a shame too, as she was actually a great talent and definitely deserves respect and remembrance."

[10.0] "She was a gifted athlete often overlooked due to the insane amount of fast paced talent around at the time. To me she always stood out from the rest of her coworkers due to her slower submission based styled although she did begin as more of high flyer but her style changed over the years and she often mixed the two together which made her stand out more. In my opinion she's one of the most underrated wrestlers ever and definitely inspired others with her unique blend of high flying and submission based mat work not to mention her distinct, cool looking attire that drew attention to her with how colorful it was."
