[7.0] "The man responsible for training potentially the greatest professional wrestler of all time, Shawn Michaels. I do have to deduct a few points for Jose because the issue with him is he never made the extra effort to be extremely memorable particularly at the end of his stint with Michaels. I also appreciate him for contributing to the WWF as a hispanic which in terms of amount, there were not a lot of others."

[3.0] "Only know him from his forced managerial roll of Shawn Michaels when they were tryharding to get Shawn over as a super baby face of the new generation era. He wasn't allowed or could do much of anything aside from walk out with Shawn for matches and hang out at ringside. Find out years later that Shawn resented him being there, which goes to show how much of a miserable prick Michaels was back then."

[8.0] "I have only seen the very tail end of his career, which sucks for me! This is one of the best career twilights ever, perhaps only second to the man he trained. If Jose was this fantastic at the END of his career, how was he at his peak? If anyone puts him on their mount Rushmore, don't question it! In one word: Fiery."

[8.0] "hes nearly 50 when he shows up on wccw tv in 1982 on the wwe network... hes a pretty ok talker for Mexican... and a satisfactory wrestler for the style of that day... you can tell hes well past his prime so im not grading him based on 1982 this guy was a major seller/bumper and had a reputation for being remarkably selfless when wrestling early in his career in the LA area.. he was firery and made a very strong connection with the crowds. he gets some bonus points for being quite the successful trainer too."
