[7.0] "A pretty capable worker in the ring, about on the same level as guys like Matt Borne, Steve Keirn, Barry Horowitz & Tim Horner when it comes to in-ring ability. But honestly not much I can say about Tom Prichard, but he seems to move smoothly in the ring like I said. But his personality just didn't really click with fans. Like his whole gimmick was to be an In-ring general and that was it. As tag team with Jimmy Del Ray as The Heavenly Bodies was fine too. Also I really liked his work as Dr. X for some reason, even though that gimmick was short-lived during 96 through 99 and wasn't actually that good."

[5.0] "Good choice for a tag team wrestler. Very competent in the ring but personality wise, was just kinda flat and bland. This is where a manager like Jim Cornette comes into play."

[7.0] "As a younger lad I was drawn to his hair style and volume. Anyone with hair like that gets my attention and he kept it by being a complete, solid & stable workhorse. Was an essential element to the USWA. Loved the Heavenly Bodies team. I was crestfallen when Vince made him cut his hair off to become Zip, but of course the work rate was still there. Underrated!"

[6.0] "Dr. Tom was never flashy or charismatic, but was a solid tag team workhorse, most notably with both versions of the Heavenly Bodies (alongside first Stan Lane and then Jimmy Del Ray), as well as with the Body Donnas alongside Chris "Skip" Candido. Pritchard has also had a notable career outside the ring as a road agent and trainer; in the latter capacity having had a hand in training such notables as Kurt Angle, Mark Henry and even Vince and Shane McMahon themselves."

[6.0] "More of a tag specialist. He was great with the Heavenly Bodies. Bodydonnas meh! He was better as a trainer and road agent."

[7.0] "Tom Prichard was talented enough to be a solid midcard heel in a national promotion, but he was another guy whose size held him back. It probably also hurt that his interviews sounded like someone doing a Roddy Piper impression."
