Dax Harwood

[10.0] "Als FTR Mitglied in einem der besten Tag Teams der letzten 20 Jahre, für mich sogar nochmal ein wenig stärker als sein Partner. Zeigte auch z.B. gegen CM Punk schon sehr gute Singles-Matches."

"A traditional all around brawler and wrestler. ( No flips, just fists automatically lowers his his overall rating to most people I'm sure. ) Dax has proven that he's one of the best. FTR is in the argument for one of the greatest tag teams of all time. This however hasn't stopped Dax from passing on what he knows by wrestling singles matches to elevate Other talent that might need it."

[7.0] "Dax Harwood's appeal might not resonate with me personally. FTR is a great act, but I find that his individual performances in singles matches lack the standout quality , outside of a good slingshot powerbomb, that other people see. Even in FTR, Harwood's contribution doesn't particularly shine for me. On the mic he is serviceable at least, he has been featured in more singles matches than necessary, and Harwood hasn't delivered the kind of impact or excitement that makes him a good single wrestler."

[8.0] "All of my thoughts on Cash are the same for Dax honestly. Great Wrestler and I would I agree is the heart and soul of FTR, the only reason why he is higher then Cash is because he got a singles run."

[5.0] "Pretty boring in the ring and downright terrible on the microphone, stuck trying to revive a long dead style of pro wrestling without tapping into the passion and drive that made wrestlers from that era stand out during a time of less pronounced gimmicks."

[4.0] "He's really bad on the mic, trying to come off as a tough guy but being weirdly insecure in kayfabe and out about the most mundane shit. All the crowing about old-school logic/rules/etc. amounts to him just re-enacting spots from Bret Hart or other tag teams. For as much as he has a reputation of a technician there are some oddly weird moments in his match that are outright sloppy or just don't make sense. It always seems to come from the place of wanting to be too clever by half but just making him and the opponent look bad."

"The weak link of the most overrated team in modern-day wrestling, and is an annoyance outside of the business. I'm fine with FTR on their own, but I shudder to think of how awful Dax would be by himself."

[8.0] "Good in ring wrestler. Better in tag team than as a singles wrestler but can go alone if needed. Is pretty good on the mic. FTR has been one of the best teams in today's wrestling."

[9.0] "Excellent singles wrestler who is even better in tags in the unfortunate potential scenario of Cash getting injured again, I would love to see Dax have a strong singles run. Hes a stud. Maybe not the best on the mic, but gold in the ring."

[7.0] "Excellent tag team wrestler, and has had a few standout singles matches as well. Seems to work even when hurting or injured, for better or worse, and is super passionate about the business. An underwhelming overall look and a decent promo, although his babyface promos are very repetitive. Certainly the dominant personality of his tag team FTR."

[9.0] "A huge tag team wrestler. FTR is for me the best team in modern times and one of the best ever. Dax Harwood have an immense talent on the ring and ringside."

[9.0] "Dax is a bit of a wrestling savant. Amazing promos-- really some of the most heartfelt promos you'll hear. Awesome charisma. In the ring, he's a absolute master of storytelling and psychology, with an old-school, hard-hitting style that's really appealing. The only thing stopping him from being an elite singles guy is that he's one of the best tag team wrestlers in the world. Dax can do it all."

[8.0] "Almost just as comfortable in singles as he is in tags and cuts a passable promo. Plays a great role in the team in both face and heel positions and knows how to get you invested in a match. A very crisp worker who would find it almost impossible to have a bad match. One of the best workers around today."

[8.0] "one of the big stars of 2022. FTR's main talker who also proved himself as a great singles wrestler. Naturally charismatic, my only problem with Dax is his harmless appearance, which can be totally overlooked given his in-ring skills."

"10.0 Dax is a wrestler's wrestler. Eminently professional, precision and skill. This guy can make it happen. He and his partner, Cash are as pro as it gets. There's something comforting about him as well. He reminds me of my dad (and I'm 10 years or so older than the guy). Love watching his matches."

[10.0] "2022 has been his coming out party. Has there ever been a tag team wrestler that constantly delivered classics in singles matches AND tag team matches? That? s a serious question for debate. Not me staring a fact. He? s quickly become a wrestler I look forward to seeing on a weekly basis"

[6.0] "Cooler Typ, nicht verkehrt im Ring. Mit dem richtigen Aufbau könnte ich ihn mir z.b. als All-Atlantic Champ vorstellen, im Tag Wrestling mit Wheeler sowieso."

[10.0] "On the run of his career, I didn't see his stuff from the Fed but his run with the Dub has been legendary. One of the top guys in the world right now, always a blast to watch perform. Passion personified."

[9.0] "Als Tag Team Wrestler easy 10 Punkte aber auch als Singles Wrestler hat sich Dax Harwood seit seiner Ankunft bei AEW echt einen Namen gemacht. Schöner Oldschool-Approach in seinem Auftreten und im Ring mit vielen Anspielungen an frühere Wrestler, wie Arn Anderson. Zur Zeit vermutlich auf seinem Karrierehoch. Im Team mit Cash Wheeler gehört er mit FTR derzeit vermutlich zum besten Tag Team der Welt."

[10.0] "One of the best wrestlers in the world right now, if not the best. He? s had one hell of a year and deserves every single title him and Cash have collected."

[4.0] "Just too generic to stand out. Everything he does seems modeled after a wrestler of the past. That's fine if you're starting out but with how many years he's clocked I'd expect more of a defined character than "modern wrestling bad""

[8.0] "I marginally prefer Dax over Cash, I feel like his in-ring selling is a touch better. Part of one of the best tag teams of the 2010s-2020s."

[9.0] "The best of the duo, he has a classic wrestling style and does it very well, I agree with his comment comparing him to a modern-day Arn Anderson. As a singles wrestler despite having wrestled little, he has done very well and has shown that he can manage as singles to spare. And little more to say, I like it as a wrestler and I think that in AEW it fits very well with the wrestling style they are looking for."

[9.0] "I'm not really the guy who likes comparing past wrestlers to present wrestlers, but the more I watch Dax Harwood/Scott Dawson through the years, the more I see him as a second-coming of Arn Anderson. From the bald-headed look to the mean expressions all the way to the detailed body language and movement, this guy just got Arn all over him! This isn't a knock on his ability as a worker either, as he has proven multiple times that he was every bit as good in the ring as he can be. Fantastic tag team wrestler who could also get it done in singles. Can work as both face and heel, as seen from recent work lately. Amazing in-ring psychology and top-notch timing. Good promo when given the right material to work with. Just an all-around excellent wrestler who I can see giving a ten in the near future."

[9.0] "Taking a very old school style and approach to wrestling he's managed to carve out his own place in the modern wrestling bussiness"

[8.0] "Dax is good on the mic and great in the ring. He excels as a tag team wrestler, but in his early days of NXT we did see him play with some solo character work and while he wasn't given much to work with, we did see a little bit of something in there which could lend itself well to a singles run. Dax is very good in the ring and can deliver the message for FTR in a way not many others can. Very very good at what he does."

[9.0] "Uncle Dax is easily one of the top 10 wrestlers in the world just from his work as a tag team wrestler, he has a great old school pick of moves, amazing charisma in and out of the ring and most of all he has on of the best heel character in the world and the number one reason why FTR is the best team in the world Currently."

[9.0] "He's awesome. He gets wrestling, little things, storytelling, even as a singles competitor he did his job more than good. Match with Punk was awesome and last two tag matches against Briscoes and YB are all-time classics."

[7.0] "100% better than his tag partner Cash and a pretty solid in-ring performer who could probably break out as a singles star if he wasn't so committed to tag team wrestling. His mic skills aren't bad and I actually like his look since he is reminiscent of old school wrestlers which works for his shtick well."

[7.0] "Hard to talk about Dax without talking about Cash or FTR. As a tag team, FTR are one of the best currently out there... but honestly, considering how thin the tag team landscape is in every company, that is not saying a whole lot. FTR are solid in the ring, but as characters, they are on the bland side. If you compare them to the Dudley & Edge & Christian from the Attitude Era, or to The Hart Foundation or The Rockers from the Rock & Wrestling Era; you'll see how FTR fall short. That aside, FTR have great technique & many current teams of today could learn a lot from these guys. They are wrestling historians & have tons of respect for the business. I will say that Dax is obviously more comfortable on the mic than his partner."

[8.0] "Sowohl im Singles- als auch im Tag Team Bereich eine Bereicherung. Technisch sehr gut, gutes selling und Storytelling sowie die Gabe einen Gegner zu einem guten Match ziehen zu können. Kann ne 10 werden, wenn er irgendwann Face turnt und es da genauso gut hinbekommt."

[7.0] "It's hard to judge FTR individualy because I haven't seen either one wrestle enough in singles competition."

[7.0] "Original Comment (29/07/2016): Sure, Dawson is lacking promo skills, his physique is not up to WWE's standards, he is short, but... Have you seen him wrestle? The guy has awesome in-ring psychology, his style fits him perfectly and I hope that his tag with Dash Wilder ends up being successful in both NXT & WWE's main roster. Edit: Bumped up my rating to 10. He had some amazing matches recently and got a lot better on the mic. One of my favorite guys on NXT (alongside Nak). Update: Yeah he is good. But his look got a bit worse and his promos repetitive. His style doesn't work in the main roster."

[7.0] "Dawson is the better part of a tag team but he lacks the potential to ever be anything more. It's honestly the ideal position for him because if you put him with someone better he'd probably just end up super overlooked."

[3.0] "Average wrestler, doesn't really bring much to the table in terms of versatility or mic skills. Somewhat bland but the tag team division suits him well. Otherwise he'd be going nowhere as a singles competitor."

[8.0] "Wie schon bei Dash Wilder geschrieben: Zweifelsfrei ein klasse Worker mit guten Skills im Ring und am Mic, der seinem Partner allerdings in Sachen In-Ring-Präsenz ein bisschen hinterherhinkt, dafür jedoch leicht charismatischer ist."

[10.0] "Gemeinsam mit Dash Wilder Teil des besten Tag Teams der Welt und somit einer der zwei besten Tag Team Wrestler der Welt. Klar mag nicht jeder ihren Stil, der sich eben auf's Wrestling und nicht auf athletisches Rumgespringe konzentriert. Dennoch sind ihre technischen Fähigkeiten in meinen Augen über jeglichen Zweifel erhaben. Ich vergebe hier die vollen 10 Punkte!"

[8.0] "The best tag team wrestler in the world at the moment. Scott Dawson just absolutely nails it; his mannerisms, his facial expressions, his offense, his selling are all so, so, so good. I really want the Revival to never break up because they are such a fantastic team, but I'd like to see how Dawson would do in singles action. He's great."

[10.0] "He pulls most of the weight in the Revival tag team, in-ring and in promo-work, though not to knock anything off Dash."

[5.0] "Scott Dawson ist ein (zu) kleiner, harter Bursche, der derzeit im Tag Team Bereich sehr gut aufgehoben ist. Das Redneck Gimmick ist wohl gepflegt und mit Dash Wilder hat er den annähernd perfekten Partner. Leider ist der Entertainment Bereich quasi nicht besetzt. Bei NXT hat es aber immerhin zu 2 Tag Titles gereicht. Für das große Universum wage ich das mal zu bezweifeln..."

[8.0] "Scott Dawson carries his tag team both in the ring and on the mic. I look forward to the revival being a top heel tag team one day."

[8.0] "Richtig cooler Redneck-Badass. Ist bei The Revival der etwas stärkere Worker und verkörpert das Team-Gimmick auch besser als sein Partner. Hoffe aber trotzdem, dass es nicht zu schnell zum Split kommt, da er bei NXT und vielleicht auch später im MainRoster gerade absolut richtig eingesetzt wird."

[5.0] "Als Wrestler, gerade in Verbindung mit seinem Partner Dash Wilder, weiß er durchaus zu gefallen, ansonsten hat er wirklich gar nichts, was mich unterhält, angefangen vom stumpfen Redneck-Gimmick bis hin zur beinahe völligen Charismalosigkeit."

[5.0] "NXT just doesn't seem to know what to do with Scott Dawson. He has a look (sort of) he is an under average wrestler. eh not the next WWE champ."

[9.0] "Er hat einen sehr eigenen Stil, so zwischen Arn Anderson und Austin Aries (merkwürdige Kombination, aber ist so), gefällt mir wahnsinnig gut. Da ist noch sichtliches Potenzial nach oben. UPDATE: Gehe noch einen Punkt höher. Der Typ ist einfach klasse. Seine Aggression ist, zumindest meines Erachtens nach, unerreicht und toppt z. B. locker Sheamus' ersten Heel-Run. Der könnte auch ein vielversprechender Singles Wrestler sein."

[8.0] "Dawson is a throwback to the brawling heels of the 80s. The comparisons with Arm Anderson in regards to how he wrestles, and his physical appearance really speak wonders. Dawson is a very talented wrestler, with loads of personality, and based on just a few appearances, you can see how technically gifted he is."

[7.0] "Nice wrestler. He has charisma and skills. He can be a good WWE Wrestler."

[8.0] "I like watching Scott Dawson's matches in the ring because when I watch his work in the ring, I see him as being rough and tough, ground and pound, very methodical, and above all else, very well-polished! Plus he executes his moves so well in a quick and smooth motion and I like that a whole lot! So Scott Dawson without a doubt has his in-ring skills down as well as his look! His promo skills could use some improving a little bit, but what saves Scott Dawson for the time being at least is that he has a manager, that being Sylvester Lefort, to do a lot of the talking for him if Scott ever needs him to."
