[8.0] "Very good grappler and athlete, Carpentier incorporated flips and cartwheels in his reversals in ways other in the 50s weren't for the most part. Had success in his native France, California, Chicago, Canada and the North-Eastern USA. One of the best entertainers in the 50s and 60s, good main event career, slowed down as he got older but in his prime he was one of the best to watch."

[9.0] "A very significant regional draw and one of the best in ring workers of his era based on tape available"

[8.0] "Yes, ahead of his time in basically every way, but I can't in good conscience grade him on SUCH a curve that he's put ahead of guys like Danielson or Kobashi. Yes, you have to take era into account, but I feel anything above an 8 to be a wild over-correction."

[10.0] "Great wrestler, pioneer of an era, good high flyer for his time also good commentator and trainer (Andre, Bravo, PCO... )"

[10.0] "He was so ahead of his time, he was a pioneer of an era we usually consider every wrestler a pioneer. His style was energic and his moves were aerial, very innovative at the time. Just watch his short match at All-Star Wrestling in 1985 to get an idea of what he was still able to do at 59. Sad he wasn't recognize as the NWA champion in 1957, he deserved to be world champion at least once."
