[10.0] "Such an underrated performer and an all time face, and such an amazing person outside of the ring. One of the best sellers in town, a very good worker who can wrestle anyone to a good match, super charismatic, and such a positive influence in the business. Just his work in Syria alone makes him a favorite of mine. I'd say the only negative thing I can say about him is how he has been used in WWE in the past, though things have improved drastically as of late."

"One of the most over guys in WWE of the last 10 years from NXT to the Main Roster and arguably the best work of his career has been his Bloodline - Present as of writing run"

[10.0] "I've been contemplating this for a long time whether I wanted to go as far as categorizing Sami Zayn as an all time favorite (aka "10") or not. But the more I think about it, I can't give you a reason he isn't. Sami Zayn might be the ultimate underdog and white meat babyface in history, up there with guys like Daniel Bryan, Jeff Hardy, Ricky Steamboat, Sting, etc. He was entertaining and amazing as El Generico in Ring Of Honor, having great matches with/against Kevin Steen, doing crazy spots and always playing the babyface role to perfection. Goes to WWE, starts out in NXT, and becomes the face of NXT during his tenure. Having great matches and feuds with the likes of Cesaro, Neville, Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, etc. Then he gets called up to the main roster, and has a fairly good run with a few flaws here and there. But the positives outweigh the bad if you ask me, those being his feud with Kevin Owens, his conspiracy theorist gimmick, the Honorary Uce gimmick, teaming with Kevin Owens, chasing after the Intercontinental Championship. Overall, Sami Zayn is gonna go down in history as a legend when his career is set and done, one of the ultimate good guys in wrestling with a big catalogue of great matches, promos, feuds, etc. An incredible babyface, underrated promo, great wrestler, even better storyteller, just as good as a seller, he has it all!"

[7.0] "Sami Zayn isnt Mick Foley, yet that is who probably who he most closely resembles when discussing why he is over and why his rating is so high. Like Mick they both wore a mask before before ditching it to be just a bearded dumpy guy with mousy hair that people love to root for. Both Sami and Mick are known for their mic skills, character development, and storyline emphasis in their performances. Indeed, Sami is above average on the mic and is completely at home telling a story with this art form. However, while Mick Foley's introspective searches for deeper meaning behind his wanton violence as both the Cactus Jack and Mankind characters was pioneering, it comes off as bloated and overindulgent with Sami. What is arguably considered his best work during the Bloodline story arch was simply a heavy handed re-hashing of Mick's role as spoiler to the Rock's cool persona in their "Rock and Sock Connection" pairing. For the length of the story arch the formula was the same; the bloodline attempted to project theire power as a stable through their somber backstage tribal coucils or in-ring promos and Sami would inevtiably undercut Reigns leadership with mocking loyalty. Later, Sami would implore the viewer to take it seriously when he had his big close up, when it was time to reveal the true meaning behind his goofy interjection into their family; he was helping them out of an abusive relationship. Its great writing if you like the more serious side of Adam Sandler's filmography, the sad clown. He's not a bad worker by any means and deserves a higher rating than most on his work rate alone, but, his skill lies more in his ability to take moves than it is to give them. Like Foley he sells very well, absorbs most of the bumps in a match and is incredible at putting over his opponent in that way. However, at his best offensively he's a PWG showcase guy; all homage and high spots. Put him in a match with Owens, Adam Cole, or anyone else of that style and he's probably going to give you a good show if you'd like to see someone kick out of 4 consectutive Canadian Destroyers. Ultimately, Sami has a lot like Mick but doesnt touch the heights of Mick. There is no Hell in the Cell equivalent for Sami, there is no infamy of a Kawasaki Deathmatch for Sami, and certainly not a World Championship like Mick."

[9.0] "El Generico, Sami Zayn, whatever you want to call him, has been one of the best wrestlers in the world for the past decade. The man can do it all, from a comedy standpoint he's very good, but he can also be a fantastic babyface that the fans can get behind. Has shown time and time again that he's on the same level as the top guys within WWE, not sure if they'll ever give him a run as WWE Champion or WHC but time will tell. Fantastic asset to have, so smart in-ring and so good in-ring, you couldn't ask for anything more."

[7.0] "I never saw his early indies or ROH work but for years I've seen him in WWE be nothing more than a solid midcarder. His feuds with Owens have been really good, but outside of that he's struggled mightily to stand out. Good comedic work with the bloodline, but very little in terms of serious feuds or memorable promo work."

[10.0] "Woo, boy... Hot take time? Hot take time. This man, be it as Sami Zayn in the largest wrestling company in the world, or where he truly shines... As El Generico on *pick literally any indie he's ever done*... This is the best white-meat babyface of all time. And it's not close. He's so lanky that his sells and oversells look FANTASTIC on power moves. He doesn't speak other than "OLE! " as Generico, so his use of his arms and the rest of his body to convey emotion is TOP NOTCH (see also Abyss in TNA, especially his match with AJ at Lockdown '05). As Sami Zayn, he became the hottest babyface not named Cody Rhodes in WWE, and made the Bloodline storyline so fantastic. The turn on Roman at Rumble, into his big babyface return in Canada, to the match at Chamber, to Mania where he won the tag titles with his shoot best friend. Just, peak babyface. In ring, great at selling, great at reacting to the crowd and giving what is needed, great facials and little things that really give his matches and moments just that much more shine. If you're a Generico/Zayn hater... Find his two TNA tryout matches. Where he did the f***ing Orange Crush to Amazing Red IN HIS FIRST TRYOUT MATCH, and his second match, where no one really knew who he was but he absolutely got the heat up on TJP, got the crowd behind him, and hit TJP with one of the cleanest Brainbustaaahhhhh! finishes I've seen from him into a diving pin where the crowd for a dark match is hot like a main event. Magic."

Ich kann mich keineswegs mit ihm oder seiner Arbeit identifizieren und es fehlt ihm meiner Ansicht nach einfach an Ausstrahlung. Im allerbesten Fall ein schlechter Robin mit Cheerleaderqualitäten und einem großen Defizit an Kredibilität.

[10.0] "The best white meat babyface of the 21st Century. Sami has a natural likeability to him, and that combines perfectly with his top-tier selling to make an audience sympathetic towards him. He can also wrestle like a motherfucker. Some of the moves he does are stuff straight out of Fire Pro's Move Creator. I don't know why this page says he was El Generico, Sami was one of the orphans at Generico's orphanage."

Without Sami I don't know if I would like wrestling as much as I do."

[10.0] "I added A comment to my KO rating and I'll add one here. This past year everyone has jumped on the Sami Zayn train, and for good reason. Because Sami Zayn is one of the best all around talents much like Kevin Owens of this generation and people just realizing with him breaking the bloodline and then eventually quite literally breaking them apart that he should be A main event guy is weird, about time he's A main event guy also. He is so deserving of the wrestlemania main event he got, but enough about this past year lets talk about El Generico. El Generico was one of the most beloved indie wrestlers for good reason, considering this site has them as 1 person I will pretend they are the same. El Generico and as mentioned in KO's review, and his team with Kevin Steen was awesome. They had some classics with the briscoes and age of the fall among others, others including the young bucks as well. Really I don't have much else to say except this man was also brilliant as the heart and the soul of NXT before Johnny Gargano could claim that nickname, ole ole ole all hail the uciest underdog from the underground."

On the indies and in NXT, he was a great character and a better worker. His heel run in WWE was sadly not as great as it could have been until he got with the bloodline and was comedy gold while being able to tell a masterclass story. Only time will tell with what WWE will do with him now but he'll forever be over from the looks of things. My favorite match of his is him and Steen vs the Briscoes from ROH Man Up."

[10.0] "This man is an absolute legend and the only person who doesn't know this is Vince Mcmahon. Triple H seems to hold him in a higher regard clearly, but not putting the title on him at Elimination Chamber 2023 was an absolute blunder. Like who cares about how many decades Roman Reigns holds the title for the man has had them long enough and I'm not even a Roman Reigns hater. Regardless he's over as damn hell, and has had countless classic matches in NXT, the indies, and even on the main roster of WWE where for years he was booked by someone who just didn't get him. This was written before Wrestlemania 39 so hopefully they reward this man for carrying WWE on his back for the last many months in either some sort of major title or at least a fat wrestlemania check. He's an easy perfect 10 and could carry any promotion ever."

No matter where or when you saw him you know the amount of talent this man has. In my humble opinion he should win the wwe championship by 2024."

[10.0] "Großartiger Seller, mal sehen was noch aus ihm wird... EDIT (09/2013 - five years in the making): Immer noch ein großartiger Seller und überhaupt ein total verrückter Performer, wie man ihn selten sieht. Kommt auch ohne Maske gut an; NXT crowd geht immer nutz! Allerdings habe ich ihn noch zu wenig am Mic gehört. Wie es ihm bei Raw oder SD ergehen wird, ist außerdem unklar. Aber ausstehend auf der großen Bühne muss er sich beweisen! EDIT (04/2016): Zayn traue ich zu, die Lücke zu füllen, die Danielson in der WWE hinterlassen hat: seine Körpersprache wird immer perfekt von der Kamera eingefangen, sodass er jedem Match allein dadurch eine gewisse Bedeutung verleihen kann, selbst wenn es gar keinen Aufbau dazu gab (wie zuletzt gegen Nakamura oder Styles). Er wirkt extrem selbstsicher am Mic, ohne ein Rock zu sein, was auch gar nicht nötig ist. Denn die Leidenschaft, die er an seine Fans vermittelt, fügt sich im Gesamtpaket einfach zusammen wie Legosteine. Look passt auch, wrestlerisch brauch ich hier wohl nichts hinzufügen. EDIT (01/2021): Nach einigen Jahren in der Midcard hat Zayn nun auch vor dem Mainstreampublikum den Character gefunden, der wie die Faust aufs Auge passt und mit dem sich die Fans identifizieren können - nämlich Reigns Lakai, der dem Bloodline-Leader die Show stiehlt. Dabei ist er ganz anders als damals bei NXT, aber trotzdem so effektiv als Schauspieler. Wahnsinn!"

The NXT run really showcased what a great in-ring wrestler he is and then he hit the ground running on the main roster. He did have a bit of a lull but that was down to the booking and now he's tearing it up in the Bloodline, again showing another of his qualities, his promo work. Unfortunately a combination of his size, good promo ability and comedy role means he's pegged a bit as a jobber to the stars and will probably never win the big one."

His promos are absolutely beautiful, and extremely memorable. He's also hilarious, and can put over faces like a champ. His prime was definitely either his run in NXT or his run in the Bloodline, because of how he impacted both brands (yes, I know the Bloodline is a stable, but you know what I mean). Sami will definitely be a Hall of Famer in WWE, even if he doesn't win another title."

Zayn's talent was visible even before 2014, when he was active in the independent scene and especially when he confronted his eternal friend-enemy Kevin Steen, but he really showed up in WWE. He went from the heart and soul of the NXT, which everyone wanted to root for, to an honorary member of the Roman Reigns's "tribe", in which he periodically overshadowed even the leader. Sami is a genius, he's an amazing in-ring performer and also a very charismatic speaker, segments with which are marked "must see" and a person who can tell a good story in a match. He was good as a babyface and at the same time he opened up just as well as a heel, which is a unique phenomenon. 10 points."

Jey-Sami's coverage is one of the best reasons to watch SmackDown regularly. I'll risk saying that Zayn is at the peak of his career right now. The downside is that this has not always been the case, Zayn has had a clear relegation in his career - for example the team with Cesaro and Nakamura. Despite his great skill and charisma for the old WWE management, Zayn was, at best, a supporting figure. It will turn out as it will be now."

Countless great matches with KO, Nevile, Braun Strownman, Nakamura, Chrispthor Daniels, Chris Hero and others. For some reason he has his haters and isn't seen as a main eventer despite having all the tool that you should need but to me, he is a worldclass talent."

No matter the gimmick, no matter the time, no matter the role, you can see, he is always giving his best, and I always find myself rooting for him. He has uniqe fighting style, and a fine mic work. I consider him a midcarder, but I would be more than happy to see him in the bigger picture, and see what he can provide us with, and I can guarantee you, it'd be entertaining."

His ability to draw sympathy as a never say die babyface is only matched by Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, His in-ring style is not just lucha libre based but also has some puro elements thrown in. His storytelling and psychology is beautiful to watch and makes a match feel so real. He's also really charismatic as shown by his weird as fuck heel run he's been on lately, which has shown his promo ability. And to conclude you can tell he's a real nice and stand up guy."

I think his heel run has been impressive as well though and the current conspiracy version of him is great. He's great in the ring as well and makes a lot of guys look good. Edit: His current heel run has been even more impressive and his comedy work shouldn't go unnoticed. He could be used better but he has provided many moments that many will remember for a long time. His match with Johnny Knoxville comes to mind as a very entertaining match that had no business being as entertaining as it was and that's a testament to Zayn and his talent."

He makes it work because he is a true professional, but it feels wrong to boo Sami for whatever reason. His moveset is also more limited as a heel, which effects his matches nowadays.

Amazing title victory followed up with the resumption of his rivalry with Owens and his match against Nakamura was an instant classic. Since the call-up it still went fine for him. He gets his moments to shine and he turns shit into gold. His missing title gold didn't stop him. He doesn't really suffer more from the uninspired long-term booking than other wrestlers. His heel turn was one of the best in the WWE history and unfortunately the WWE wants the antagonists to be weak, just to eliminate the last resort of challenge for their babyfaces. It's the usual upsets. However the biggest disappointment so far is the over-booking of Owens vs Sami without any development of their rivalry. However it doesn't change that Sami uses his opportunities and he manages to get something out of everything."

His general acting is mostly fine, but when trying to be inspirational or passionate Zayn will often come across as melodramatic and cringeworthy. This is mostly on mic however, as in the ring I feel the acting communicated through his wrestling moves is actually rather good. Apart from Zayn's high flying he also impresses with his power moves and even some of his striking. He's an all rounder to the point that I definitely consider him a good wrestler and one of the more exciting people in WWE currently. Zayn does a very good job playing the underdog, and with his impressive move set he has definitely won me over from someone that used to despise his squeaky clean babyface persona."

El Generico was a fun character, but Sami will likely play second fiddle to Kevin for most of his career because, though certainly likable, he's not a truly magnetic personality. Still, his rivalry with Steen/Owens, along with excellent matches with PAC/Neville, Bryan Danielson, and Shinsuke Nakamura, and his excellent tag work with Paul London will ensure him a spot in history."

While he might not be the ginger french canadian of arab descent playing a mexican luchador anymore (or at least not at the moment), his work in NXT, the booking that has gone into it, as well as the crowd reaction, indicates that he does have a real star quality that cannot be forced. Like Daniel Bryan, it appears that 10 years of travelling the world has been of great benefit to his talent and reputation. His matches against Kevin Steen in ROH were brilliant, and deserve to be seen by any wrestling fan, and his matches against Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger in NXT, have shown that he has "it".

Now that he's in NXT, I've become a hell of a lot more impressed with Sami than ever before in his career and that says a hell of a lot! He showed me that he can be himself and still be awesome as a character and with his incredible in-ring skills, he's been putting on really great matches lately in NXT with Antonio Cesaro and even with Jack Swagger this week!

Ich hoffe die WWE erkennt relativ schnell dass in ihm einiges mehr steckt als das. Es gab und gibts in der WWE genug Beispiele wo es nicht gut ausging für die jeweiligen Worker. Wäre schade um jemanden wie ihn. Wünsche ihm viel Erfolg und dass man ihn bald in den Mainshow sieht!"

Nichtsdestotrotz weiß der Indy-Main Event Status, den Generico seit einiger Zeit genießt, mir viel zu oft seine Auftritte zu trüben. Es ist wahrlich nicht so, dass ich ein Verfechter der McMahonschen Bodybuilder-Ideale wäre, aber bei Generico geben der magere Körperbau, das noch immer Comedy-lastige Gimmick und sein Auftreter in ihrer Kombination für mich wirklich kein glaubwürdiges Zugpferd einer ernstzunehmenden Liga mit. Insofern wundert es mich auch, dass diejenigen, die Jay Lethals oder Rey Mysterios Abstecher in den Main Event stets mit empörtem Aufschrei begleiten, überhaupt gar kein Problem damit zu haben scheinen, dass jemand Generico nun quasi die letzte Hoffnung ROHs gegen den dominanten World Champ Kevin Steen sein soll. Denn wo diese zwei auf ihre geringe Größe wenigstens eine durchaus bemerkenswerte Statur bringen, scheinen Generico die zusätzlichen Zentimeter Höhe eher noch schlacksiger wirken zu lassen. Mal im Ernst, der Kerl sieht aus, als hätte man Peter Fox 'ne Maske aufgesetzt."

Bei ihm braucht man aber auch nicht vor seiner nur anstehenden Singleskarriere Angst haben, er wird immer oben mitmischen. BRAINBUSTAAAAA Edit: Ich gehe jetzt auf die volle Punktzahl denn Generico konnte in der Fehde gegen Steen und seit dem das Team gesplittet nahezu in jedem Singles Match, egal gegen wen, egal in welcher Liga wirklich überzeugen."

Er hat es außerdem geschafft seiner Figur trotz Maske eine Persönlichkeit zu geben, davon können sich einige Luchadors eine Scheibe abschneiden. Und obwohl er zudem ein durchaus physisch betont kämpfender Wrestler ist, kann man ihn oft nicht richtig ernst nehmen. Der knöcherne Körperbau, die oft unpassend eingestreuten Comedy-Einlagen, die mäßige Darbietung am Mic und einige Details mehr. All das sind Faktoren, die mir eine überschwängliche Beurteilung unmöglich machen und mich zudem ernsthaft daran zweifeln lassen, ob er es je in höhere Gefilde schaffen wird."

Und auch was seine Intensität im Ring anbelangt, kriegt man von El Generico weit mehr als sein vergleichsweise schmächtig wirkender Körper verheißt.
