[4.0] "Another wasted talent that couldn't get out of the way of his own incompetence. Did fine and dandy in the territory days our in the minor leagues but never could make the jump to the big leagues. Dude had a problematic attitude and was known for being a HORRENDOUS driver, which ultimately lead to his end."

[6.0] "Great looking elbows and he had a strong grasp on timing/pacing. Buddy's problem was his inconsistency. Even rewatching and seeing time unfold all over again it's still true: Sometimes he was there looking pretty good, usually he wasn't there and then whenever he came back, he didn't look or seem the same. His body fluctuated, his work, desire and inner fire ebbed and flowed as well. Buddy's worst enemy was himself and it's a shame. Potential squandered/Underachiever to the point that it's borderline grotesque. 5.75 rounded up when being a near 9 was SO close to a possibility."

[8.0] "Nature Boy Landel was great in-ring, and had a lot of natural charisma going for him due to his Nature Boy gimmick. Unfortunately, Buddy shot himself in the foot every time he was set to get a good push with a promotion, which is unfortunate, considering the amount of talent he had. An 8."

[7.0] "Greta wrestler. Very underrated in my books. He was a legend in Tennessee. In WWF and WCW he did not go anywhere and they did not do anything for him."

[7.0] "Buddy was a good worker and a good talker. He could main event in regional promotions, but on the national stage, in the NWA, he was midcard material. Whether or not his proposed program with Ric Flair would have elevated Landel higher up the card is one of those questions that will forever remain unanswered."

[6.0] "Guter Wrestler und guter Mic Worker. Sein Festhalten am Nature-Boy-Gimmick war letztlich wohl ausschlaggebend für seinen nur mittelmäßigen Erfolg. Ric Flair imitierte zwar seinerseits Buddy Rogers, aber bei zwei Leuten parallel mit demselben Gimmick galt der ältere Flair natürlich als Original, und Buddy haftete das Stigma des Imitats an. Da half auch alles Talent nichts."

[7.0] "Hatte es im Ring absolut drauf, wird aber anscheinend oft darauf reduziert dass er ein Ric Flair-"Imitator" war. Ist aber für mich offentlich dass der Mann einiges an Talent hatte, war technisch absolut beschlagen und auch die Nummer am Mikro hatte er drauf."

[8.0] "Buddy Landall was actually a natural who reaked of talent and charisma and was always first in line to be given the next push by the promoters. He had that ability to get over with the fans as a credible main eventer within a week or two of entering a territory. What held him back was his total lack of dependability. This was partly fueled by his lifestyle and partly by his attitude. He has readily confessed in several shoot interviews that he was his own worst enemy on multiple occasions constantly sabatoging his push. Despite this, he was given third chance and fourth chance and fifth chance every time because the untapped potential was so huge with this guy."

[8.0] "Natürlich war es eine dumme entscheidung von Landel Flair zu imitieren. Aber ihm deswegen gleich schlecht zu bewerten, währe meiner Meinung nach falsch. Sorry an alle Ric Flair Fans, aber was die Wrestlerischen Fähigkeiten betrifft, war Buddy Landel um einiges besser als sein Idol. Auch was die Mic Fähigkeiten betrifft war Landel echt gut. Ich finde es sehr schade , dass Buddy Landel sich seine Karriere mit Alkohol- und Drogenkonsum selber geschadet hat. Hätte er Privat nicht so viel Probleme gehabt , bin ich mir sicher währe aus ihm etwas was ganz großes geworden. Für das was Landel im Ring zeigte, gebe ich ihm 8 Punkte und für die Mic Fähigkeiten, ebenfalls 8 Punkte."

[2.0] "Hätte er nicht den Beinamen "Nature Boy", hätte ich vielleicht noch Gnade vor Recht walten lassen und ihm die 4 gegeben, aber so? ! Ihn mit Buddy Rogers und Ric Flair zu vergleichen, ist vorsichtig ausgedrückt, absurd!"

[2.0] "Es ist ja doch selten, dass eine Kopie besser als das (scheinbare) Original ist. Aber muss es gar so schlecht sein?"
