[3.0] "As a kid I liked the guy, as an adult he ages not like milk but maybe more like cheez-its. His body was awkward, I'm pretty sure he never worked out. His interviews came off like he thought this was all real (the general lack of professionalism in his delivery). He started to sweat profusely seconds in (see also my non working out comment) and would get all oily but only on the head and arms - just looks strange. He has this charisma though, you initially want to like him. But he's pretty bad. Still though... there's something, even stale cheez-its have the salt goin for em."

[7.0] "He is a great wrestler. Decent fighter. Not the greatest but surprised lower than what he actually is. He was hot in Florida, Alabama and the Carolinas. He had that boxer stance. He was one of the earliest wrestlers to win the WWE tag team titles with Jay Strongbow. Had a dcent time in WWWF. Underrated here in my books."

[3.0] "Jim Cornette said it the best in his epic 4 and a half hour long shoot interview about 15 years ago (from the date of this comment): "You couldn't get anything out of Sonny King". Just wasn't a very good worker. Never did much in the ring and wasn't anything good on the mic."
