[3.0] "Never got this guy. Although, I had only seen his WWF stuff from the early-mid 80's. A lot of punch and kick and nerve holds."

[4.0] "EDIT: While I found him disappointing for his size and opportunities, there are things about him I have grown to appreciate. It was his tenure in World Class and involvement with The Freebirds that gets recommendations. First as an ally and then the blood feud with Terry Gordy; I do not usually like such things but these two made it really work for me. I roll my eyes at some of his other stuff. Some matches are less "ugh" than others but in the end I can't get behind him like I wish I could. 4.25 rounded down."

[7.0] "Not a particularly fantastic ring worker but his presence and bloody feuds with the likes of Bam Bam or Andre, from his history with training another great brawler in the face of Gordy and/or his brutal feud with him also, there's just a lot to fall back in in terms of strong showings. He wasn't really successful in terms of actual titles or pushes, usually losing any major attempt at a title and such but he had a fair share of memorable matches to fall back on."

[8.0] "I thought he was great as well. Underrated villain in wrestling history. he broke Andre the Giant's leg in 1981. Had an excellent feud with him. His moves are great but not excellent. He is one of the pioneers to use the green mist before Tajiri."

[8.0] "I don't know what everyone else's deal is, but Killer Khan was an awesome heel, both in the states and in Japan, with just a big weird looking body and the ability to be as whacky or as violent as he needed to be."

[6.0] "Khan had the look that could appeal to the imagination. I feel that for some reason his career was never as impactful as it should have been. Of course, there was no promo work from Khan as he played the foreign menace always. He was a notch down from other foreign threats of his era like Abdullah and Kamala but he was still someone I always enjoyed coming into a promotion I was following."
