[8.0] "As the "Carolina Caveman" on the indies he was one of the best wrestlers. I saw him have 60+, 70+, and 90 minute matches that somehow never got boring and were back and forth and exciting. A comment a little further down really nails it by saying they feel bad for anyone who only knows him from NXT. I'm sure he's making great money and probably happy but selfishly as a fan of his for a long time I expected a lot more. It's like Nakamura's run. I'm not saying he was going to main event Wrestlemania but by now some kind of US or IC title run."
[8.0] "Really feel for everyone who only knows about him through his current WWE stint because Trevor Lee was one of the best wrestlers in the world in the 2010s. While not greenlit to do everything possible in TNA or even PWG, he still has some good work in both places. Primarily in PWG stretching through the back half of the 2010s as probably the best heel that company had seen in over a decade, but very sneakily also great as a young upstart babyface in 2014 and 2015. He made the most out of very little in TNA, but his work in CWF mid-atlantic as their top babyface ace champion is probably his most eye opening work. It's not nearly as accessible due to a lot of the matches being LONG as hell, but the ones against those who were great to even sort of middling (that stayed under an hour) were often some of the best long title match work to come off of the indies in that era. I'm sure there is work in 2020s NXT that is up to par in between what are probably unwatchable NXT skits, but I'm good. Don't need it because what we have on tape from the 2010s independents is very secretly, work from one of the best in the world. Happy that he's making a lot of money now, but I very selfishly wish he could make that money in a company that values his talents."
[6.0] "Und ein weiterer Wrestler der für mich durch WWE uninteressanter geworden ist und nicht sein Potenzial ausschöpfen kann. Ich finde seine Matches bei WWE einfach nur noch relativ langweilig leider. Deshalb kann ich leider nur noch 6 statt 7 Punkte geben."
[8.0] "Has found a way to stand out everywhere he goes. Was not given much of a shot in TNA and still his tag team with Everett was entertaining and his X-Division title run was good. In NXT he got a crazier gimmick that he played well and allowed him to survive the 2.0 indy purge and become a highlight of Tuesday Nights."
[9.0] "Who doesn't like Cameron? He's amazing, he blew me away from the moment I saw him. He stands out a lot in NXT and hopefully he'll move up to one of the top brands soon."
[9.0] "Starker junger Wrestler kam von unbekannten Ligen letztes Jahr zu PWG und überzeugte sofort hat bei PWG auch schon echt richtige Indy Größen besiegt wie Cole, Hero und Steen. Hat sich auch beim PWG BoLa 2014 super geschlagen soll unbedingt auch dieses Jahr wieder dabei sein. Meiner Meinung nach sollte er CWF Mid-Atlantic endgültig verlassen der Mann ist viel zu gut für diese Liga. Edit: 20. 01. 2017 Längst eine Aufwertung von 8 auf 9 Punkte. Wie er sich die Jahre gesteigert hat ist echt bemerkenswert. Man glaubt auch nicht das er erst 23 ist und ich hab geschrieben er soll CWF Mid-Atlantic verlassen was er nicht tat und es ist auch gut so. Seine Regentschaft als CWF Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion kann sich auch sehen lassen und auch sonst holt er sich Title und ist begehrt. Einfach ein Top Mann. Edit 10.09.2022 ist nun auch schon einige Jahre bei der WWE und Trevor hat sich bei NXT gemacht."
[8.0] "Face Grimes is great! He's extremely talented in the ring, and his character and charisma are top notch. At 27, he's still hopefully got a few years before he even begins to his his peak. Unfortunately, I don't see him having much more success in the 2.0 era or main roster, but there are other options now. I've only had two issues with him, and one's been recently corrected. First, I always though he was just a little too, welll, Grimey. Too much body hair, too unkempt hair and beard. The recent story arcs have cleaned him up, and he looks great without losing that back country vibe. Second is the cave in. I just don't like it. Any kind of double foot stomp has to be pulled so much that it looks fake almost all the time (except for Riho, who I think is just so small she doesn't pull it at all)."
[9.0] "Grimes is 27 and already has a very impressive record of exceptional matches. His run so far in NXT has been pretty good, especially in terms of character work, but I feel the full extent of his greatness has yet to be unleashed. If you look at his work especially before coming to WWE, he was having some truly incredible matches and just tearing it up on the Indies. At 27 years of age, I'm almost certain he will be a huge name in a few years if he gets booked correctly. I hope to God they do him justice in WWE, otherwise he should just make the move to AEW because he's world champion material."
[8.0] "He? s a great comedy wrestler. He? s also good in the ring. I haven? t seen any of his indies work, so I don? t know how he does as a more serious character, but he? s been great in NXT."
[8.0] "A rich redneck making references to the Gamestop stock scandal should not have been as successful as it currently is. The fact that Cameron Grimes is as over as he is with the NXT audience with the gimmick, the fact that the gimmick got popular enough to bring in Ted DiBiase and the Million Dollar Championship, is a testament to how charismatic Cameron is. Grimes' has a great understanding of character work and can work well as both a face and a heel, and he's also slowly showing that he is more than just a comedy wrestler and can bring the gimmick to a more serious level. Being a solid in-ring performer is just icing on the cake for him. At this rate, Cameron Grimes could become one of the top babyfaces on NXT, something NXT has been lacking for quite some time."
[8.0] "Great in the ring, he was really underrated and produce some great matches in Impact and PWG. Now as a comedy character, he's great in that role as well. No matter the character he's, it always seems to succeed well. It feels sometimes he overdoes things though with his character which can be annoying at times but overall, really entertaining."
[6.0] "He gets points for being good in the ring and being able to work well with a variety of people but his gimmicks do not work for me. It takes away some enjoyment from watching him onscreen because the attempts at comedy fall pretty flat."
[7.0] "I was starting to really get behind Grimes as he was slowly ascending through the ranks of the NXT roster. But they recently brought him back as a full fledged comedy character & I feel this is going to be the beginning of the end of him. Sure it has moments of charm right now. But what is the endgame? This gimmick has no ability to be a real main eventer. So they either eventually do a drastic 180º turn & revert him back into a more serious incarnation; or they go all the way & have him doing ridiculous comedy for the majority of his career. And I have news for anyone who finds this charming for now: Just imagine what this gimmick will look like once he hits the main roster & has Vince & Bruce booking him. This feels like a version of Santino. For now, if I consider both his serious stuff alongside the still-new comedy gimmick; I'll give him a generous seven for a rating. But something tells me that in a few years, people are going to be smacking their heads into walls anytime goofball Grimes is hamming it up on Raw."
[6.0] "Don? t get me wrong, Grimes is incredible technically sound. His execution is really great and he puts on great matches. His promo ability is awful. Shockingly bad. He has confidence when handed a mic, but his acting ability is really bad. He pulls ridiculous faces in attempts to convey emotion but they just come out as cringe. When he wrestles I love it, but he needs to get his act together on the mic."
[10.0] "Usually I chear for the heel when they are cool or great in the ring like Adam Cole (when he was heel ) or Jay White but him he is so irritating I want to see him leave my screen forever then when he does he immediately missed me He is perfect in his own unique way truly a special wrestler"
[10.0] "Absolutely incredible wrestler. WOW. He delivers great matches against every opponent, that man is maybe the best WWE in ring performer today. I hope his booking will be better in the future because it makes me angry for some months. Even in the indy scene he delivered awesome matches like against Andrew Everett in CWF Mid-Atlantic."
[9.0] "Der Typ ist der Wahnsinn. Hat sich mit zarten 20 Jahren schon zu einem der größten Publikumslieblinge PWG's gemausert. Eine Entertainment-Bombe, der viel mehr drauf hat, als man anfangs denkt. Ein interessanter In-Ring-Stil, Waghalsigkeit und Kondition sind ebenfalls vorhanden. Wenn dieser Mann nicht völlig blöd gebookt und begraben wird, dann wird sein Weg zum Indi-Thron kein langer sein. Ich muss noch ein wenig mehr von ihm sehen, bin aber vollends von ihm begeistert. UPDATE: Er wird immer besser. Sein Charakter ist noch etwas unfertig, aber im Ring einer der besten!"
[8.0] "Junger und aufstrebender Wrestler. Sein PWG Debüt bei Mystery Vortex II hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Ich werde ihn dort hoffentlich noch des öfteren sehen können und bin gespannt wo ihn sein Weg hinführt. Mit 20 hat er auf jeden Fall schon eine gute Basis was Charisma und Können angeht. Update: Hat sich enorm entwickelt und macht weiterhin sehr viel Spaß. Egal ob bei PWG, impact oder woanders. Wird seinen Weg bei NXT gehen. Ich freu mich darauf."
[6.0] "Trevor Lee is the most overrated wrestler on the independent scene today. Lee is average, at everything, yet people rave about this guy like he's the second coming."
[10.0] "One of the best wrestler in the world. He does things in the ring I've never seen. Has a great memorable look. Great gimmick. He's gonna be a huge name some time soon. My favourite currently in the world."
[10.0] "Never seen a more well known indie guy that is still seen as underrated by so many. His work in cwf is roh danielson level great and his pwg heel work is super fun. He should be a way bigger name and it's a crime he isn't classified as one of the best in the world. Did I mention he's only 24?"
[9.0] "Criminally underrated. If you only watch pwg or tna, you may think this guy is really good, but not spectacular. Then you should watch his CWF stuff especially his current CWF title reign, which i think second best title reign in the world just after okada's imo. In CWF, he shows his old school style, works very long match and still keep the fans hot. Definitely one of the best in the world. He can play both face and heel roles very well, too. More jaw-dropping that he is only 24. So much time for him to prove himself."
[10.0] "Trevor Lee is my favourite wrestler right now and has been for the past year and a half. His title run in CWF Mid-Atlantic is legendary. I've never seen a bad Trevor Lee match & I doubt I will. He can talk which is weird because in TNA they would never let him talk, He can brawl, technical savage & a great high flyer. Trevor is a diamond that has only just started to shine at 23 years old"
[8.0] "Trevor Lee ist einer der unterbewertetsten Wrestler der ganzen Welt. Da ich von ihm nur selten die CWF Matches sehe und ihn lediglich bei PWG kenne, kann ich aber nicht mehr als "gut" geben. Er weiß wie man eine Rolle im Match verteilt und somit Struktur aufbaut. Dazu ist sein Moveset sehr cool, beherrscht sowohl Technisches Wrestling als auch High Flying. Komme somit auf sehr gute 8."
[8.0] "Einer der absoluten Publikumslieblinge bei Pro Wrestling Guerrila. Dazu ist er echt gut im Ring und hat Charisma. Er ist gerade mal 21 und erfüllt schon die eben genannten kriterien. Ein absoluter Mann für die Zukunft."
[10.0] "If you've only seen Trevor Lee in places like Impact Wrestlling, you're missing out. His work in CWF Mid-Atlantic is some of the best I've seen in ages, with one of the best title reigns in the world today. Incredible all-rounder, with particularly great high flying."
[9.0] "It was only earlier in 2016 when I discovered his work in CWF that I was blown away by Trevor Lee. I liked some of the stuff he had done in PWG before that, but he never really had any amazing MOTYC material matches, but then I did discover him in CWF, and man, he is so good. His title run has been absolutely epic there. He is such a good wrestler; can work the spotty, fast paced style & also the long Bryan Danielson/Ric Flair style title matches. Trevor is one of my favorites at the moment. He's great, really one of the best wrestlers in the world right now."
[10.0] "Trevor Lee is exceptional at everything he does, as a heel he is good(PWG, TNA). As a tag wrestler he is great(With Andrew Everett). As a singles babyface champion he is amazing, his CWF championship run is a joy to watch. Lee has a great look and great matches, thee future is a caveman."
[8.0] "Eigentlich ein sehr guter Wrestler Technisch Perfekt Aber sein gimmick Ich weiß Ja nicht, am mic auch nicht so stark. In Ring 9/10 Mic 7/10 Charisma 7/10 Er hat was drauf und zeigt auch gute Matches mal gucken was noch passiert"
[6.0] "Trevor Lee, for his experience level and age, is pretty decent in the ring. With that being said, I do feel he's a tad bit overrated. While he isn't bad by any means, he hasn't really impressed me either. His look needs a makeover, he can be sloppy, and his gimmick isn't very original. He does have potential to do great things in the future."
[5.0] "Also, was der abliefert, ist echt beinahe nur peinlich! Ich weiss nicht was dieses Gimmick aussagen will, aber wenn er damit seine ganzen Fähigkeiten begraben wollte, dann ist ihm das gelungen! Er kann als High-Flyer einiges, Ansätze von Technik sind ja auch vorhanden, doch sonst macht er, wie bereits erwähnt, alles kaputt mit diesem Gimmick! Erstmal ein Gimmick-Wechsel, irgendwie MUSS er ja anfangen!"
[8.0] "I really like him as a wrestler. I like the Mushroom Stomp. I don't what to be that guy, but I just don't like his look. *waits for hate comments*"
[5.0] "Hat Potential, ist von einem guten Wrestler aber noch meilenweit entfernt. Immerhin stimmt das Move Set und er bringt etwas Feuer mit, soviel muss man ihm lassen. Mit seinem aktuellen Look, Körperbau, extrem spotlastigen Wrestling Stil und kaum vorhandenen Charisma wird er für mich allerdings nicht über den Status eines mainstreamuntauglichen Indy Flippers hinauskommen."
[6.0] "Hab ihn ein paar mal bei TNA gesehen und hat mich dabei nicht vom Hocker gerissen. Ist nicht unbedingt schlecht, aber da sollte noch mehr kommen, kann die 10er-Bewertungen hier nicht nachvollziehen."
[10.0] "this guy is really good in the ring, a great mix of high flying ability and technical and power wrestling (with insanely good kicks - up there with the Young Bucks in terms of how good he does them) looks like a wild man - which fits the Carolina Caveman nickname and he's pretty good on the mic although he could improve slightly - just give the lad time though because he's still young, 22 days younger than me in fact). a very bright future for this man if he keeeps up his work i'm sure he'll be a internationally known name."
[10.0] "I have seen the future, and it's a hairy dude from Hardy Boys Country known as Trevor Lee. One look at him and you might not be impressed. But once the bell rings... you'll see things from this guy you've never seen before (a rarity in this day and age. ) He can fly, he can brawl, he can Karelin lift, and he has the most powerful knees since Tommaso Ciampa. He will lead GFW into the next era of professional wrestling. Fear the Carolina Caveman."
[8.0] "Trevor Lee verkörpert die junge Generation der Indie-Szene. Mit seinen gerade mal 21 Jahren besitzt er schon ein ordentliches Charisma und sein Stil im Ring gefällt mir wirklich gut. Wenn er so weitermacht, könnte er in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft an der Spitze der Indies stehen."
[8.0] "Er könnte die nächste große Nummer im Independent Bereich werden. Für sein Alter ist er unfassbar im Ring und sein Sieg über Kevin Steen ist wohl auch ein Zeichen das man sein großes Potenzial gekannt hat. Mal schauen was er am Mic drauf hat und wenn er da auch nur durchschnittlich ist muss die WWE ihn eigentlich bald holen und ihn zum Top Babyface machen (Ok zugegeben sollte das noch ein paar Jahre dauern, erstmal soll er sich in der Independent Szene durchsetzten)."
[6.0] "Great young talent who is just making his start on the Indy scene. After seeing his triple threat match vs Cedrick Alexander and Andrew Everett, I am sure PWG is going to want to keep him on the main roster to continue a producing matches with similar amazing spots. Hope to see interesting things from this kid."
