[9.0] "By far one of the more impressive "big men" in WWE right now, intimidating, powerful and massive potential to be a major threat in the midcard division. Not quite main event material yet but if he continues to be this impressive that will certain change in the future."
[1.0] "Genuinely just insanely forgettable. I can't name a more forgettable wrestler out there - every time he shows up on-screen, I genuinely forgot he ever existed. And he was the same exact way when I first saw him, back in NJPW and Impact! Outside of his forgettable on-screen appearance, he just doesn't have good matches - not a single match of his is better than somewhat adequate outside of his NJPW matches which, let's face it, are because of the opponent he's going up against. It's obviously he wants to be on the level of Big Van Vader or Big Bam Bigelow, but really all he is as a wrestler is if Earthquake didn't have a memorable gimmick. I would LOVE to be proven wrong on him and I hope I am, but for right now he's remarkably forgettable... which I consider almost worse than just being a "bad" wrestler, especially in the WWE."
[8.0] "Personally, I find him great. I understand why people wouldn't like him, he's a bit of a bland character and his mic work could be better. However, his in-ring work, in my opinion, is fantastic. Definitely my favourite of the powerhouse wrestlers, and probably my favourite of the midcard division. I see big things in his future, and I'm glad to see they're giving him a push, at least with the Andre the Giant Battle Royal win."
"hes fine and his character his pretty bland with an obvious ceiling. he always seemingly gives it his all and tries to be creative in matches which I can appreciate for a big man. hes a bit limited character wise but solid wrestler."
[7.0] "Going off his work in WWE, I've been impressed with him so far. While I wish he was given more chances to shine, he does take full advantage of the times he gets to shine and shows he can be a good powerhouse type wrestler. Not he fastest, but quite hard hitting and can have great matches with the right opponent."
[8.0] "He may move slowly but he rewards it with attacks that look credibly dangerous. He really manages to make it look like his opponents are getting hurt, and despite his weight, he has cardio so that his fights don't slow down and attacks continuously. He's good in promos but could improve."
[6.0] "Run of the mill big man. Comes off cartoonish in his attempts to come off as a bad guy and his in ring, while he can flash some athleticism, is largely dull. He's not bad, he's just not good."
[8.0] "Bronson Reed is a really good wrestler. Hes a powerhouse but can also do some athletic moves, especially a Moonsault which looks picture perfect, especially for a man his size. His previous run in New Japan and his current run in WWE have been good."
[3.0] "Incredibly underwhelming. Whilst he is alright in the ring, he has next no charisma or presence. He just seems like a run-of-the-mill "monster" wrestler. It's hard for me to see a scenario where he could be that captivating of a character, he isn't even THAT impressive (in wrestling standards obviously) in stature so personally even his looks alone don't do anything."
[6.0] "A solid powerhouse and not much else, this guy has almost no charisma and mic skills, but I like him in the ring. I think he's better than many powerhouses out there, he's a guy who, if he's booked well, can earn something. It's a shame he left Japan."
[7.0] "Great monster heel. Works better as a heel than a face because it adds to his aura. The Tsunami is a great finisher, partly because of how Wade Barrett says it on commentary. Otherwise, Reed has the potential to reach great heights in WWE and I hope to see a title on him in the near future."
[9.0] "Very impressive and realistic powerhouse. I wouldn't wanna get a Tsunami finisher by him and no one should never kick out from it. Although he hasn't been involved in an important long-term storyline in WWE, you can't deny that the crowd pays attention and gets impressed when he is fighting in the ring. I think he could be a real threat in the main event picture if they pull the trigger with him."
[7.0] "Updating since his return- Good big guy, more interesting as a heel than a babyface. He needs something to stand out more. I liked his Tsunami finisher it looks devastating. His work and moveset are pretty good. He has a good win percentage but could use more storyline involvement."
[1.0] "Nothing about this guy is good, terrible on the mic, terrible look, terrible wrestler. Doesnt even seem imposing unless against a much smaller opponent"
[10.0] "One of the best big men in wrestling, Bronson Reed rules everywhere he goes. Whether its on RAW rn, in NXT, or in IMPACT and NJPW as JONAH he fits well everywhere, and thrives everywhere."
[8.0] "I admittedly was very confused when WWE brought Bronson Reed back. None of his NXT work stood out as anything above decent at best, but he's clearly put in the work during his time away and has improved significantly in the ring. Great big man wrestler with good mobility and a great moveset to match. His finisher is so simple but looks amazing every time he does it. Needs to work on character and promo stuff but he's got the in ring stuff down and can only go up from here. Hope to see him win a title down the road."
[7.0] "Very athletic for a big guy, promos need work and needs sort of a gimmick, becuase his is kinda bland but now that HHH is here his booking has improved so very bright future for him IMO"
[3.0] "Terrible. Yes he is a bigger guy that is kind of a little bit athletic, although that's about it. Terrible on the mic, terrible to watch, pushed far to hard. He isn't versatile on the mat, he isn't versatile in the air, his promos so far have only made me cringe. A 5 foot 10 300lb bloke that doesn't excel in anything other then being overly large for his height does absolutely nothing for me."
[7.0] "Good Big Man, he has worked well in NXT and NJPW. On the main roster he is yet to make an impact. He has good power moves and is good enough on the mic."
[7.0] "Considering his silhouette - very solid worker. Ok chapter in NXT, good short run in Japan including matches with Okada. But now on RAW he receives absolutely zero reaction from fans and Hunter definitely doesn't have consistent plan for him."
[7.0] "Mixed feelings about Reed. I don't particularly like his character, its very generic and so boring and predictable character for a man his size. His in ring work is good and he has had a lot of fun matches. Very athletic and quite fast for a man his size."
[5.0] "This guy was horrid in TNA and he wasn't much better in NJPW, TMDK is better off without him. He's just another run of the mill monster wrestler, nothing special to him, nothing to see here. 5 because he can wrestle alright, he's just nothing special."
[8.0] "Can have banger matches with anyone in any style proven in PWG and NJPW. Is getting better at everything and is young enough that he can tone down the high-flying impacts and pick UP the character work as he gets older and keep being successful. His best days are ahead of him."
[7.0] "I am most familiar with Jonah? s work in NXT and Impact but going off that alone I love his style. A big, bruising son of a bitch and his series of matches with PCO are truly something to behold. We need more wrestlers like Jonah in todays age, more big hosses. He is also a surprisingly good seller for a big guy too."
[4.0] "As of this moment, Jonah is currently getting a big push in NJPW by defeating what is probably among the best wrestlers in the world: Kazuchika Okada. In the middle of this push and right after his release by WWE, Jonah was also heavily pushed in Impact Wrestling and NJPW STRONG while getting big rubs by being invited in fan's favorite Battle of Los Angeles and Josh Barnett's Bloodsport (facing the man himself, nonetheless). Despite all this, I have to wonder what do they see that I don't? Having seen a few of his matches on STRONG, I have to admit that Jonah isn't horribly bad. He's even a decent wrestler. But there's really nothing else to him: he's another one of those "big men doing high flying spots" that unfortunately became the norm in that weight class, his power moves doesn't have much impacts and he seems to be gassed easily. He isn't particularly charismatic and for a heavyweight, well, he isn't particularly tall or looks impressive. I guess he's a nice guy or something? In any case, I'm more curious about his current position in the wrestling world than his wrestling skills."
[4.0] "He's talented enough in the ring that he can have a good match with the right opponent. However, rarely will it be 4 stars or better and sometimes it can get a bit boring. He's another big guy that can move around, which seems to be more common now but he doesn't have much that makes him stand out the way others do. He's pretty bland on the mic and just seems more like an afterthought at times. He's talented but putting it all together has been a challenge and I just don't get excited to see him. Surprised by some of the higher ratings. I understand his WWE run was largely disappointing but even outside WWE he just doesn't do much for me."
[5.0] "Blah. I hadn't ever thought he deserved to win the North American Championship, let alone a handicap match against The Way. He appears to be overvalued and not really that huge in my opinion. His matches aren't really entertaining, and he's one of those guys that holds a WWE championship just because he's big."
[7.0] "A decent wrestler with a good look, be interesting to see how he gets on In NJPW. Worth a follow on social media where he has a habit of winding up all the very worst people."
[2.0] "Very awful and cringe pro-wrestler with shitty looking offense and a cringy smug self-righteous virtue signalling presence on social media, and the last thing I wanted was to see this guy stink up NJPW."
[8.0] "He is a monster when it comes to fight, someone heavyweight who performs quite risky or athletic maneuvers. His way of being has really impressed me."
[5.0] "Meh. I never thought he was deserving to win the North American Title, let alone win a 2 on 1 handicap match against The Way. I feel like he is overrated and not even that big. His matches aren't really enjoyable and he is one of those guys who has a title in WWE just because he's heavy."
[6.0] "Bronson feels like a guy who is almost there, but who is just missing a piece of the puzzle that can get him to the next level. He's not quite at true midcard level just yet, but he's above jobber status. He's good in the ring & works the big man moves well. But I think he need to review some tapes of Vader or Bam Bam to see how he can flush out a character that fans would want to pay for. Because right now, he's just mostly kind of there."
[4.0] "Bronson Reed needs a new nickname that fits him, and I think I've got it. The Blandzilla. He has been on TV for close to two years and he always seems lost. He doesn't know what his character is, he can't cut a promo, he is meh in the ring and isn't even that big."
[7.0] "Powerhouse bei NXT. Ganz gut im Ring, Promos hatte er noch nicht viele, kann also nicht ganz beurteilen. Jedoch sicher für die Zukunft ein interessanter Wrestler."
[7.0] "Ziemliches Man-Beast, nur scheint er noch nicht wirklich seine Mitte gefunden zu haben. Beeindruckend anzuschauen ist er, doch sollte er mehr Powermoves für seine Größe drauf haben, ist aber durchaus noch Luft nach oben!"
[8.0] "In Australien längst eine Bank und ein Top Mann und inzwischen wird er auch immer mehr außerhalb Australiens begehrter. Dauert nicht mehr lange dann sehen wir ihn auch bei NJPW. Starker und athletischer Big Man und ein Monster wieder einer der Kraft mit Beweglichkeit vereint."
[7.0] "Also ich habe jetzt einiges von ihm gesehen bei PWG und bei der WXW und ich finde ihn gut aber nicht auf dem Niveau eines Keith Lees oder eines Walters. Im Ring in meinen Augen ein wirklich guter Heavyweight. Niemand der herausragende Matches wie die bereits angesprochenen zwei liefert aber immer auf sehr konstantem, gutem Niveau workt. Ich finde ihn auch vor Allem sauber in seinen Aktionen und kann mich auch nur an wenige, kleinere Botches erinnern. Deswegen würde ich ihm 8 Punkte im Ring geben. Vom Charisma her ist es noch etwas schwankend finde ich. Manchmal gelingt es ihm gut das Monster rüber zu bringen aber manchmal holt er die Leute nicht komplett in das Match rein, da seinem Charakter auch noch etwas die Tiefe fehlt . In dem Bereich würde ich ihm 6 Punkte geben. Alles in Allem halte ich zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt 7 Punkte für angemessen, glaube jedoch das seine Entwicklung noch nicht am Ende ist."
[10.0] "I admit that I am not really familiar with Jonah Rock. When PWG announce him as the participant of BOLA 2017, I immediately watch some of his highlight and I'm impressed a little bit. His match with Keith Lee really change my mind about him. He is great wrestler that rich with experience and he quite agile for a big guy. The man also can adapt in different style of wrestler like Zack Sabre Jr and Adam Brooks."
