Wangler wrote on 25.03.2024:
"No idea about his WWE run but was a very solid, fun low carder for ECW, whether partnered by Stevie Richards, Jazz or New Jack. High flyer with a great senton and suicide dive done with a high pitched "woohoohoo" and an interesting move set all round. As Joey Styles used to say "That'll turn up on Monday nights soon. They'll call it something else". Bonus point for being disliked by Cyrus / Callis who would reply, "No one's stealing that haircut though"."

[4.0] "He is probably best known for being Simon Dean in WWE, in which he played the role of an annoying heel jobber who acts like a snakeoil salesman. It was hard to take him seriously but he can wrestle. He gets points for that. It's just too bad he has the charisma of a toilet seat with the lid left open. Also when you can't get over because you have no charisma you work as a jobber. It makes sense."

[6.0] "Ich kannte ihn nur als Simon Dean mit der Dean Machine. Trotz seines Jobber-Gimmick bei WWE hatte er mich an den Personaltrainer mit Ben Stiller erinnert, oh wie heißt der Typ noch mal White Goodman. Simon Dean sah doch fast genauso aus wie in den Film wo sie Dodgeball spielen."

[4.0] "Hatte mich noch nie begeistert, weder bei ECW als Nova noch vorallem nicht als Simon Dean bei WWE, da hätte er sogar noch weniger Punkte. So gebe ich aber noch 4 Punkte, ich finde er hat kaum irgendwas besonderes, weder Moves noch irgendein Charisma."

[3.0] "Every time I've gone back to watch Nova/Simon Dean, the more and more I'm let down. This man claimed to be an innovator but took like half of his moves from Joshi Wrestlers. He also wasn't a good promo, at all. I was shocked at how bad on the mic he was, he sounded so fake as Simon Dean, not even in a way that was him being an ass, he just sounded like he read a script. The BWO was also certainly of it's time and is lame nowadays. Not the worst but certainly not great."

[6.0] "Here's a prime example of a guy who was great on the card, a halfway decent wrestler at worst. And good at getting stars over. He was great as Nova, arguably his best work in ECW. Then they give him the Simon Dean gimmick which was detrimental to his career in the grand scheme of things."

[5.0] "Decent worker but I have to lol at his only claim to fame being that he pretended to innovate a bunch of moves that he stole off of Mexican/Japanese guys. Other than that, he was a pretty average worker who on occasion could bring the goods in terms of dives or cool moves, but never really took over as much as some would profess he could have done. Outside of being the least memorable member of the BWO, nothing else much comes to mind. competent worker but ultimately very forgettable."

[10.0] "Simon dean rating is only 6. 21 ? At lol are you kidding ? at least his rating on comment ratings is 6. 68 but he still deserves way more . Simon dean and especially when he was on ecw he was pure perfection . he had way more than 100 moves and his creativity was insane . its funny you have rated boring and slow wrestlers like randy orton 8/10 and talented wrestlers like simon dean has only 6. 21 rating . Whatever its so unfair that ecw closed because he was going to be ecw world champion . When he when debuted on wwe vince treated him like a joke . Classic vince i didht expect something better from someone who made miz , jinder mahal and of course the great khali world champions . Vince just loves money not wrestling ."

[7.0] "Fondly remembered as a member of BWO. Underrated high flyer and a great crusierweight. He was not given enough of a push in his career. When he was in WWE he was not treated right. Forced to cut off his hair because he looked like Triple H. I remember him mainly as Simon Dean and his fitness guru gimmick was horrible total Wrestling Crap right there. No wonder his gimmick did not last long as it was never liked."

[4.0] "Mostly a comedy act in WWE (and a pretty poor one at that). There were some flashes of things that were legitimately funny, but the majority of it felt like a bad Carrot Top routine. As a member of the BWO, he mostly felt like he really didn't do a whole lot with that role"

[7.0] "Dean fand ich eigentlich immer sehr kultig. Toller Micworker, der sowohl als Nova, als auch als Simon Dean perfekt funktioniert hat. Zudem mit ansehnlichen Fähigkeiten im Seilgeviert und ein rundum akzeptabler Worker. Schade, dass er großteils unter Wert verkauft wurde."
InactiveGuru wrote on 01.06.2018:
[7.0] "Quite surprised to see how good Nova was in the ring, good in ring performer that obviously preferred to play comedic characters. Whether you have found memories of the B. W. O. or even when he plays the short lived Simon Dean character I am certain Nova made you laugh at least once."
Blood Pump wrote on 06.04.2017:
[5.0] "Perfectly serviceable inside the ring and on the mic (probably more so then Stevie Richards) but never popular with anyone except the ECW fans. Like with The Blue Meanie his humor never worked on me. It kinda sucks that the thing he'll be best remembered for is that damned Segway and his horrible feud with Lashley."
KASH wrote on 22.01.2017:
[6.0] "Ich mochte Simon Dean / Nova. Das Fitnessguru Gimmick war eines dieser Gimmicks, ohne die das WWE Programm nicht funktionieren würde. Seine Segmente waren witzig, weil er stark am Mic war und ein gewisses Charisma besitzt, seine Mimik war häufig gold und im Ring war er ein absolut solider Worker, sodass Simon seine Präsenz in jedem Weekly verdient hatte . BWO war auch in Ordnung und als Nova war er auch gut. Das Business braucht Wrestler wie Nova / Simon Dean."
DanTalksRasslin wrote on 24.03.2016:
[8.0] "Nova was at one time an indy darling, often acclaimed for his ring style and innovative moves. Somehow it never quite translated to mainstream success. He was best known as a member of the always-entertaining Blue World Order and later a wannabe-superhero in ECW, and later as fitness guru Simon Dean in WWE. Unfortunately those roles resulted in only preliminary success. Could always be counted on for good in-ring performances. In one of wrestling's curious facts, from their time in OVW Nova has a perfect 9-0 undefeated record against John Cena."
Mizzle Assault Ant wrote on 24.03.2016:
[10.0] "Great talent, absolutely perfect for his various roles. Was a pretty good wrestling in the bWo and often pretty funny as well, my favorite work is his time as Simon Dean. It was a great gimmick for drawing heat, and since he was only meant to be a jobber he did his work perfectly, people loved to see him get beaten up and he bumped around fantastically. Saw him live once and he was extremely witty, interacting with the crowd and other wrestlers in really funny ways. Gotta show respect to this guy, he's no world champion but he's a role player who always gave 110%."

[3.0] "The fitness guru crap wasn't very entertaining and neither was it when Lashley made him chuck now 50 or something hamburgers at some no named PPV I don't even remember, the event name it was at."

[6.0] "Ist ein grund solider Worker, der seine Arbeit wirklich gut macht. Am Mic finde ich ihn stärker als von den In-Ring Fähigkeiten her. Hat seine Gimmick immer ordentlich gespielt. Mir fehlt aber leider das gewisse Etwas, um eine höhere Punktzahl zuvergeben."

[10.0] "Nova invented the CAGEMATCH rating system. Ein sehr unterhaltsamer Kerl, sei es als Nova oder auch als Simon Dean. Starker Heel, aber auch sehr lustig, von vielen leider unterschätzt."

[6.0] "Simon Dean, war das ein sinnloses, überflüssiges Gimmick. Insgesamt ist Bucci aber ein grundsolider Worker, der 6 Punkte verdient."

[8.0] "Hab ihn immer gern gesehen. Gute In-Ring Fähigkeiten, gute Ausstrahlung, gutes Micwork."
Unrated Superstar wrote on 27.01.2008:
[6.0] "Als Fitness-Guru hat er zwar genervt, aber das immerhin mit Stil (man denke nur an seine Rumble'05-Performance oder die Promo mit Batista), was ihn von Figuren wie The Miz unterscheidet. Außerdem ist er im Ring auch nicht so übel, wenn man ihn mal lässt. Schade, dass er nicht mehr da ist. Mehr Unterhaltungspotential als The Miz, der Boogeyman und das Extreme Expose zusammen hatte er auf jeden Fall!"
LexLuger4ever wrote on 01.12.2007:
[8.0] "In der ECW bei der bWo eher langweilig und die Unbekannte im Team, als Simon Dean fand ich ihn sehr unterschätzt, ja geradezu verjobbt! Im Ring auch nicht schlecht und mit dem Mic kann er offensichtlich umgehen. Außerdem gefiel mir das Simon Dean Gimmick, da hätte man viel mehr rausholen können."
Bhandu wrote on 08.10.2007:
[4.0] "Das O in Nova steht zweifellos für Overrated! Durchschnittlicher Wrestler, der von ECW übermäßig gepusht wurde. Und die Jünger glaubten es natürlich. Als Simon Dean ganz witzig, mehr nicht."

[8.0] "War in der ECW der innovativste Wrestler von allen, seine Moves wurden regelmäßig von WWFlern und WCWlern dieser Zeit geklaut. Sein Gimmick in der WWE war lustig, aber er durfte bei weitem nicht mehr das zeigen, was er draufhatte."
