[9.0] "He should be a multiple time champion by now. He has everything a pro wrestler should have, charisma, personality, and he can go in the ring. He's also very effective as a heel and a babyface although he's a more natural heel. In 2023 he has one of the catchiest themes I've ever heard."
[10.0] "How was this guy not a world champion in both WWE and AEW? He has everything it takes to be entertaining in the ring. His last stable is kind of useless and nothing worth watching, but his in-ring work is still there at least"
[9.0] "Swerve is a main event talent. That's all I have to say. He can be a piece of garbage heel and he can be a face that the masses root for. His current booking frustrates me because he is clearly able to be a main event talent. A few years from now, Swerve Strickland will be on the same level as MJF, Darby, Punk, etc."
[8.0] "Swerve getting released from the WWE was the best thing possible for his career. Since joining AEW, he's elevated his character work exponentially and his in-ring work improves every time I see him in action. His promo work is excellent and he most definitely has the makings of a main event caliber heel. I'm giving him a "low" score because he still has a lot to do but I see him as a future AEW world champion if they keep booking him this strong."
[10.0] "He can do it all have just about any type of match. Excellent in promos and he's got just the look of a superstar. Hell he manged to get people to think the rest of hit row was good he's so damn good"
[8.0] "Swerve is quite good. He has a unique, interesting offense that, to be fair, sometimes is a little too cute for its own good. He has obvious charisma as well. He does need the opportunity to take the next step into the main event, but I think it'll happen for him later if not sooner."
[9.0] "[10.0] if he kills everyone in his faction next dynamite. Vicious offense, great limb worker, star feel, entertaining at every point. Was really looking forward to the heel run after the SIOG split but this faction stinks. Great promos when given something to work with. Future world champ with more inspired booking."
[8.0] "Swerve is everything you can look for in a wrestler, phenomenal in the ring, charismatic to the absolute moon, great promo guy, able to play many roles, underdog face? you got it, douchebag rapper heel? there you go, army veteran face? indeed he can, insane, untrustworthy "face" that's going to turn heel any second now? he's doing that great right now, so many great matches, if you like wrestling, you should see what Swerve is doing, he will make you a fan"
"Dripping with talent and charisma, Swerve Strickland has travelled across the world. Could put on a good match or feud with anyone, but takes special circumstances to put on a truly special match or feud."
[9.0] "Könnte auch Easy World Champion werden. Er hat alles was man braucht. Er hat einen sehr geilen Wrestling Stil ist auch gut in Promos und hat Charisma. Geiler Typ! Kann mir für ihn eine große Zukunft vorstellen."
[8.0] "Swerve is a great junior heavyweight that can fill out a roster really well and can make himself a highlight on any show. He's a pretty okay talker and has confidence, but I feel he's missing that one great promo from truly becoming great. EDIT: he's here"
[8.0] "Swerve's in ring talent plus his charisma is one good feud from being top tier. If they finally let Lee vs Swerve develop, that might be enough."
[8.0] "Swerve is one of my favorite talents on AEW, but I just can't put my finger on what exactly he's missing to get him to the main event level. Maybe he could flesh out his character a bit more and expand on that, or show a heel version if himself like we saw in NXT, because as a face his cockiness kind of falls flat. We saw in the Casino Battle Royale the amount of boos he was able to get when he turned on Lee and Darby, I think a heel Swerve could be entertaining."
"My first introduction to Strickland as a wrestler has been against Ricky Starks, and holy shit, that dude has amazing move flow, and so much innovation. Honestly, that match elevated both Starks and Strickland in my mind. Strickland oozes charisma, and I am looking forward to see what he can do going forward, especially if he gets some heel angles."
[8.0] "Hab ihn bei Lucha Underground damals zum ersten Mal gesehen und er hat mich direkt überzeugt. Als Killshot überragend. Sein Look ist einfach gut. Er hat's im Ring auch einfach drauf. Trotzdem sehe ich wegen seiner Statur bei der WWE jetzt nicht die allzu große Zukunft."
[8.0] "Isaiah Scott strahlt das gewisse Etwas aus, hat den Look, Charisma und bietet im Ring immer wieder gute Unterhaltung. Hie rund da geht ihm die In-Ring-Psychologie aber doch zu sehr ab, aber sein Stil ist zeitgemäß und er funktioniert. Als Leader von Hit Row kann er nun final ausspielen, was er auch als Charakter so alles kann. Da geht was. Gutes Paket."
[7.0] "Isaiah 'Swerve' Scott, currently the North American Champion and apart of Hit Row as of writing this rating, plays a good job as a heel much better than his face, he has solid microphone skills and his wrestling is very all rounder but tints of high-flying capabilities. Personally, I can only see him being a mid carder at maximum for the limited gimmick that he can produce. Other than that he is a solid wrestler with an alright NXT background, nothing outstanding but also nothing basic."
[9.0] "This dude has got the word star written all over him. Not only is he perhaps the single most charismatic guy on the NXT roster, but he's also one of the most spectacular athletes down on the yellow brand."
[8.0] "An ultra talented wrestler with a more than admirable charisma and in-ring ability, he has proven that he can do a good job with wrestlers of all kinds and their quality already in WWE or in the independents especially in his fight against Dante Fox in Lucha Underground."
[7.0] "I really believe that guy is very good and I think he has big things to show us. I didn't saw him in Lucha Underground so it's obviously playing with my rating but I can say he is a really solid worker and he can deliver very interesting contests."
[9.0] "I was a big fan of Killshot back in Lucha Underground, but I loved him more as Shane Strickland, especially everything that happened from 2017 to the day he signed to WWE, he was huge in the Indies & a very good wrestler, he has great charisma too, and from the impressions of his use in NXT, he could be big in WWE."
[8.0] "Swerve could use a little work on the psychology portion of wrestling but it seems like that is coming around in him now and I think working in NXT more will help further. He? s got an amazing skill set and has had some of the most fun matches on the Indy scene that I have watched. The guy has major star written on him and I think he will at the very least have a very extended mid card run in the E and continue to deliver us classics."
[8.0] "Basically the guy who rated him a 5 is an idiot. Trashing someone? s score because you? re trying to look smart when you obviously don? t know a thing about wrestling is bizarre at best. He is smaller than most but makes up for it in athleticism. Rating someone low because they? re not the size you think they should be and ignoring their skill is just something else."
[8.0] "What a wrestler, talent and one of the best underrated high flyers in the world. I have only watch his match in CZW and he sell like a boss! He is strong for his size, he is very acrobatic and have great physique!"
[9.0] "Seine Darstellung des Killshot/Jermaine Strickland bei Lucha Underground war einfach perfekt! Ein besonderes Highlight war natürlich bei Ultima Lucha III das "Hell of War"-Match gegen Dante Fox, aber auch darüber hinaus war er eine der tragenden Säulen der 3. und 4. Staffel von Lucha Underground, wenn man auf Match-Qualität wert legt. In den Indies bleibt dann ein guter Wrestler, aber so richtig will er abseits von Lucha Underground bei mir nicht zünden, daher "nur" 9 Punkte."
[8.0] "Shane Strickland has all the makings of a superstar. He carries himself as such and is very good in the ring. Since 2017, he has made a name for himself and is one of the top talents on the independent scene. It'll be sooner not later that he'll be on a much bigger stage."
[9.0] "Since the middle of 2017, Shane has been on a roll. He carries himself like a star, his matches have gotten 10x better and he's just a must see talent. His promos face or heel are great and he has learned to pick his spots instead of just being a generic spotmonkey. The man has found what works for him"
[10.0] "2018 is the year that Shane Strickland become the top guy in the independent wrestling scene. With guy like Ricochet, Keith Lee is sign with WWE, Shane step up his game and turn himself as the must seen performer in indie. He is charismatic, athletic and confident with his skill."
[9.0] "Als ich für Shane diese ganzen Lobkommentare laß dachte ich nur hier wird übertrieben auch wenn ich wusste das er gut ist. Aber ich irrte mich. Shane bzw. Killshot ist mehr als nur gut, er ist sehr gut, wahnsinns beweglich und zeigt flüssige und saubere Moves. Dazu ein sehr charismatischer Wrestler. Will ich ihn bei PWG sehen? Hell Yes vielleicht kommt er ja bei diesjährigen Bola. Auch einer für ROH. Aber auf jeden Fall einer für die Indies. Edit: 26. 10. 2016 Ok, BOLA wurde nichts dafür wXw war auch was schönes und auch sonst sieht man ihn bei vielen Ligen. Edit: 22. 02. 2017 Schön, jetzt kommt auch er zu PWG und dann gegen einen der auch absoluter PWG Neuling ist Dezmond Xavier, große Vorfreude auf das Singles Match bei PWG Nice Boys (Don't Play Rock N' Roll). Edit 20. 09. 2017 Sehr interessant er verbrachte ein Teil seiner Kindheit in Frankfurt da sein Vater dort als Militär war. Sicher bei der Rhein-Main Air Base. Ob Shane auch etwas Deutsch sprich weiß ich aber nicht. Edit 7. 11. 2017 Muss auch posten er hat sich von einen eher langweiligen 08/15 Indy Wrestler zu einen tollen Charaker entwickelt. Auch ein Grund seine Haarpracht und dann dieses Swerve Einstellung und seine Outfits, toll."
[7.0] "Strickland ist wirklich der King of Swerve. Im Ring ist er zwar hauptsächlich ein Spotmonkey, kann aber wirklich durch sehr elegante Manöver und Aktionen punkten. Dazu wirklich sympathisch. Auch bei LU als Killshot mehr als ordentlich und vertritt eine Bad-Ass Seite. Runde das Ganze dann auf solide 7 Punkte auf."
[8.0] "Shane Strickland is the next CZW World Champion ladies and gentlemen... King Swerve deserves it more than anybody I can think of.... You wanna talk about a guy killing it in every single match he's been having? A guy who oozes charisma and any crowd can get behind? A guy who is versatile and can work any style of match out in front of him? Shane Strickland is that.... CZW is about to hit it's destination... Swerve City.."
[7.0] "Shane Strickland gefällt mir in den US Indies doch deutlich besser als Killshot bei Lucha Underground. Vielleicht ändert sich das im Laufe der zweiten Staffel von LU ja noch."
[9.0] "Amazing highflyer. This man is an incredible wrestler and he has a potential. As Killshot in LU, he has put more eyes on him now and his popularity is growing. In-Ring he has a star quality and hits his moves with grear intensity. I love his moves and the i love his facial expressions each time he hits his move"
[9.0] "Unglaublich unterbewerteter Wrestler. Er ist, gerade bei Progress Shows, immer ein Wrestler den ich beim Card lesen null wahrnehme, aber dann hat er meistens das beste Match der Show. Unglaublich guter Flippy Wrestler welcher aber genauso gut Technische oder Hard Hitting Matches bestreiten kann."
[8.0] "Killshot aka Shane Strickland has used LU to put more eyes on him at the indie level, and many wrestling fans have token note of the fact that Shane/Killshot is talented in every sense of the word, and is poised to take his star to a whole new level if LU are willing to push him during season 3. All in all Shane/Shot is an amazing wrestler who is gaining more and more attention every day."
[7.0] "Ein sehr starker In-Ring-Worker, sowohl seine Angriffe als auch das Selling sind erste Sahne. Es hapert jedoch leicht am Mic und sein Look finde ich echt sehr ... naja unorthodox. Man braucht sehr lange um ihn ernst nehmen zu können (als Killshot)"
[8.0] "Lucha Underground has allowed Shane to finally show nationally what he can do, been following his work since his early CZW appearances and is a really good high flyer, not bad in his ground based skills and can cut a good promo too, can see a bright future for him now that he is getting TV exposure from Lucha Underground and regularly showing why he is such an impressive talent."
[8.0] "Riesen-Talent der US Indy Szene. Charismatisch ohne Ende. Tolles High-Flying und selbst in Harcore Matches kann er glänzen. Man kann nur hoffen er macht was aus seinem Potenzial."
[8.0] "Ein sehr gradliniger Worker, der nur leider mit sich selbst noch nicht weiss wo er hin soll! High-Flyer, absolut nur die Boden-Technik ist noch nicht ganz ausgereift! Charisma ist genug vorhanden, wäre aber trotzdem noch steigerungsfähig, ansonsten Top!"
