[1.0] "I'm so glad he was replaced by Spot as a Moondog. That's almost all I can think but I felt like that was being too ignorant, so I watched over and over to *attempt* to appreciate. He did have a rather great running splash, that's the lone silver lining. The negatives keep stacking up: Poor chemistry with Rex, horrible tattoos, ugly face (notably ugly) but the true worst part? Almost no bell to bell activity, mostly pacing around. Barely worked, hard to find a worse offender during his era. Zero point five."

[8.0] "Believe it or not, this guy was a real deal out on the west coast early in his career. A pure brawler, Sailor had charisma and was a close friend of Roddy Piper from what I understand having listened to a number of interviews from guys in the scene. By the time I saw White his out of ring habits were catching up to him. WWE wanted to use him as part of their popular Moondog gimmick. I think White was a little bit untrustworthy to keep his dates and eventually his spot in the gimmick was given to another wrestler. It's too bad because even at this low point in his career, Sailor was still very charismatic and without him the Moondog gimmick was quickly relugated to opening comedy act."
