[9.0] "Wish it was easier to find his matches. Can not overstate the good he did for the wrestling community with his beliefs in desegregation. Based on what I have been able to find he was very good for the time period and got great crowd reactions."

[10.0] "Sputnik not only helped to integrate wrestling in Memphis, but he helped with the integration of the whole damned city. One of the smartest guys to ever lace a pair of boots. If you haven't seen the Memphis Heat documentary, I recommend you check it out. Lots of interview segments with Sputnik where he talks about the race issue. The Memphis Heat DVD even has alot of bonus interview footage."

[8.0] "I've never seen Sputnik Monroe wrestle as I can't find any video footage of him online but from what I've heard from other wrestlers and people in the business that he was really good. He also helped out in the battle of racial segregation back in the early days of pro wrestling. Truly an unsung hero in the business."
