"A wrestler strongly suspected of being a pedophile that was allowed back into the business because Japan is very strange about this stuff. The story is that his disappearance from Zero-1 in 2014-2015 was due to him having a relationship with an underage girl, and taking her to New Zealand, without parental consent."
[9.0] "Since he arrived in AJPW he improved a lot, basically becoming some sort of Joe Doering-Zeus lovechild. I can totally see him becoming All Japan's top gaijin quite soon, and if he keeps improving at this rate I can see this happen sooner than later."
[10.0] "I think Good Wrestler... He have good look, he can work well (For a big man) and he is one of the best New Zealand Wrestler to come out in recent times. Hope he can go very far in his career"
[7.0] "Quite possibly the best wrestler out of New Zealand in years. Kind of looks like a scaled down Brock Lesnar or even Jack Swagger n terms of his look. Decent worker, especially for his size."
[7.0] "Obwohl er im Ring selbst noch limitiert ist und meines Erachtens kein Typ für 20-Minüter wäre, hat er ein gutes Repertoire an Brechern. Daneben spielt er seine simple Rolle als kollossaler, durchtrainierter Hüne sehr gut. Raideen lebt im Moment vor allem von seinem jungen Alter und seinem ausgezeichneten look. In vier oder fünf Jahren könnte er in Japan ein Megastar sein - dazu muss er allerdings an seiner Intensität und seiner Matchführung arbeiten und sein Repertoire vielfältiger gestalten. Ist in meinen Augen definitiv einer, den man im Auge behalten sollte. Ich sehe bei ihm auch das Potenzial, in der WWE zu landen."
[6.0] "A pretty impressive young big man who has the potential to become a big name, without a question James is one of the best workers to come out of New Zealand in the last 10 years."
