[8.0] "Daniel is very young and very talented, his in ring work is very consistent and he is great at executing a technical wrestling style. Has a fair amount of charisma too, good on the mic, I mean there is really no reason why he isn't consistently in the AEW mid card title race."
[9.0] "I don't care man I love Danny. He's one of the realest wrestlers, and you can really tell how much his character is based off his real life character. He is so unbelievably funny when he wants to be, he's so fun to watch during promos, the dance, the cowering to marina, Danny just understands it. Plus he is an incredible technical wrestler. I've only given him one 10 point singles match, but he is so consistent in the ring, got a great style that can work with anyone. I love red death."
[8.0] "Matches average a 7.1/10, weighting toward the more-viewed ones. He convinces me he needs another push. Currently, I don't see him breaking past International / Continental levels, but, like I say with others, I'd like to be proven wrong. He's great with the crowd, decent on the mic, best on the mat. 8/10."
[8.0] "Love this guy. Funny, charismatic and a damn good technician to boot. Perpetually, he's the underdog in most of his matches but also feels like he has enough experience to not seem like he's catching up to his opponent. Man, I hope he's coming after the Continental title in this year's C2 and wins."
[8.0] "He seems be hitting more of his stride booking-wise. I was never concerned about his talent but how he's booked and utilize this charisma. It's there, just some missing pieces needing to be put together."
[8.0] "An absolutely tremendous babyface. Has had his fair share of downs, but when he's on there's very few young wrestlers who can draw emotions out of you like he does."
[7.0] "I like Danny - He's very solid in the ring, great technical work and his singles matches are generally good to great. He just always feels like a step beside his peers in regards to his character, especially in the Death Riders, but I'm never unhappy to see him on my screen."
[4.0] "He's sort of a weird enigma, & not in a good way. He's 6 foot solid, which prevents him from finding a niche fighting similarly-ranked/"cruiserweight-type" opponents in AEW, and yet he's under a smooth two-hundo, which (along with his poor charisma) prevents him from looking credible when fighting people like Edge, Swerve, Brody, Ciampa, you get the idea. They haven't even given him a ton of opportunities to take the mic in the Riders, and when he does, it's always semi-convincing at best. He's just sort of there. The prospect of him fighting Claudio tonight is really kind of insane."
[6.0] "He's a very good technician in-ring but his character work and charisma is lacking. He was gaining some momentum with a less serious gimmick but his midcard title run fell kind of flat and then his new gimmick with the Death Riders just doesn't fit. Took him weeks to get nice gear and he tries to act like an intense butt kicker but just doesn't come off as authentic compared to the other members. Moxley doesn't always make the most coherent promos but it still seems to fit his character."
[8.0] "I like Daniel and I think he's got a lot of potential. His ring work is very solid but I just think he needs a little bit something extra in his character. Actually gonna up this from a 7 to an 8 because I think Danny has been doing some awesome work lately. Especially loved the Takeshita match and the tag against Brodido."
[4.0] "The moment he started to try and become a serious wrestler is the day I stopped caring about Garcia. He's always just hanging around in random DR segments not doing anything but being another body to fill out this bloated group."
[5.0] "Garcia's AEW pushing has always confused me. The guy is utterly middle of the line in wrestling, though looks-wise he's pretty frail. I suppose he puts in a decent amount of work but it doesn't make him entertaining to watch for a prolonged period every week. He feels like someone that should've been a lowcard jobber simply."
[4.0] "He is great in the ring his look is alright at best. I really hate his dancing gimmick along with I'm a Sports Entertainer gimmick with Jericho was also bad his current gimmick with The Death Rider has been good. Do I think Tony fumbled him? Yeah kinda of but right now he alright."
[5.0] "In the ring he is solid, but unspectacular. He can wrestle, but sometimes it doesn't look believable. As a personality he's pretty bland and unremarkable. Doesn't cut a good promo and currently trying to act like a badass comes across as disingenuous. He's still really young and could get alot better, but time is running out before he gets pigeonholed as a lower midcard guy who just eats pins for stars."
[8.0] "Good boy, for sure, and he is highly underrated. Most people don't know or at least don't see how good as a wrestler Daniel Garcia is. Always was pretty smart, I end up finding out about him when he had a Rampage match facing CM Punk, I just saw that guy as a rookie on NBA that somehow points 20 in a game with his team completelly blew out, you know? He always took crowd reaction, but AEW decision to put him with Jericho on that stupid and unnecessary stable only worked well because it helped to development in the end the wonderful beauty story between him and Daddy Magic. If he somehow goes to WWE, we can say for this one, a loud and clear "Tony Fumble"."
[8.0] "A great up-and-coming technical wrestler. I really enjoyed his run on Collision in the first half of 2025 with the TNT title, feuds with Paragon, STP, FTR and the likes. He's a wrestler I wish more people could give a chance."
[2.0] "I just can't stand Daniel Garcia, he just seems boring and generic as hell. He's good at wrestling, I'll give him that, not saying he's terrible at it, he has had some good matches in his career, but he used to have a funny shtick that people liked, he would do this dance that was annoying, but it was over, but once he got rid of that, he became a bland tough heel who doesn't take things lightly. He's not very good on the mic."
[4.0] "With the right wrestler, he can put a good match but ever since he joined the death riders he's been a total Joke. Those shorts need to go and it's probably the least of his issues. He can't cut a promo just like wheeler yuta and is his brother in terms of being a channel changer for me."
[5.0] "Decent in-ring wise, but a complete charisma vacuum. AEW has been trying everything with him, they gave him a funny dance to do, then gave him a program with MJF to get over as a babyface, then gave him a TNT title run, and then turned him heel. But the crowd simply does not care at all about him and, even as a champion, he came out to crickets. He doesn't have "it" and he isn't even good enough in the ring to get over just by his workrate."
[10.0] "Daniel Garcia is one of the best wrestlers in the world under 30 years old. He is an incredible technical wrestler, who has proven multiple times that he is just as good as the biggest names in AEW. No matter what he is given, he always shows up and delivers. He hasn't been booked the best the past year or two, and I think the biggest problem is AEW's lack of consistency when it comes to booking. As an example, when he won the TNT Championship he was immediately put in the Continental Classic - which ended up hurting his reign as champion. He didn't get any PPV matches until he lost the belt, something that also took away from his reign. It is unfortunate that bad booking is what hurt his title reign, but it's important that AEW learns from it so it won't happen again. In 2026, I hope that he gets more opportunities in AEW and internationally in promotions such as NJPW, CMLL, and the indies. Daniel has everything a wrestler needs to be a huge star, and once AEW finally gives him the treatment he deserves, he is going to be one of the biggest names in the company."
[4.0] "Was a non entity before, now that he's in the Death Riders, another reason to hit fast forward. Just average in every conceivable way and has been for at least 3 years. Only noticeable thing was the triple Superplex, which is more a case of stamina than ability. That he uses a piledriver and Sharpshooter as finishers speaks volumes. Also drools a lot, more than Jay White but less than Hooch. As bland as can be and can't see that changing much."
[6.0] "So, he's a heel now and its promising but I still can't get behind him. Objectively a tremendous wrestler but he's lacking... something, he feels bland and his TNT title run wasn't moving me what with his bald head and mustard trunks, but now he's in the Death Riders he'll hopefully pick up steam as his match with Shibata was really good! He's got alot of potential I just hope he stops being so bland cause I want to like him."
[10.0] "Daniel Garcia is by far my current favorite wrestler. Everything he does comes with passion and a tremendous amount of talent. No wonder he is responsible for "Restoring the Feeling", this man IS THE FEELING. Dude is an amazing storyteller and terrific in the ring, he proved himself time and time again and it's still so young. The sky is the limit for this man, who have all the capacity and ability to become one of the faces of AEW if given the chance."
[4.0] "I've gave this guy some time and I just don't see it. Athletically gifted but so is the vast majority of the rest of AEW's roster. The guy has all the charisma and personality of a block of polystyrene and the crotch thrust thing he does is just ridiculous if he wants to be taken seriously as a threat."
"Danny is a very average wrestler. He does well enough to not embarrass himself but he doesn't do anything to make his matches memorable. The only thing propping him up is his ability to convey that he cares about what he's doing in the ring. Sub par in nearly every other aspect."
[7.0] "Man, I really wanna like Danny more than I do, but there's just something missing from him as a total wrestling package. He's miles ahead of someone like HOOK, who's shown minimal improvement over the past three years, but also miles behind Kyle Fletcher, who's lapped the rest of his similarly aged peers several times now. He's a very good wrestler, he emotes well, he's clearly putting in the effort to try and climb up the card...but there's a flatness there when it comes to connecting with the audience. His presentation doesn't help him either, I'd argue, as there's just no sizzle there."
[4.0] "He's a decent enough technician in the ring, but he's a charisma vacuum with a generic character and a generic look. Garcia has a lot of room for improvement if given some more training on his wrestling and working on an intriguing character. But right now, especially with how big AEW'S roster is, Garcia sticks out like a sore thumb as they're trying to push him when it's too early for him. He could improve, he's just not there yet"
[7.0] "I think there's a lot of room for improvement for Daniel Garcia, but he has consistently given some of my favorite babyface performances ever in recent times. If he could more consistently tap into that underdog face style, he could easily climb up to being one of my favorites currently going."
[5.0] "Daniel Carcia is someone who has been pushed down fan's throats to a degree that has not been appreciated. Despite being rather bland, he's good enough in the ring. I think if he wasn't pushed so hard, so quickly; fans would have taken a more natural liking to him. But he started appearing so much & even main evented a number of Dynamites when very few people wanted him there. At this point they've seemed to scale back on his monster push, which is good. But he still hasn't been able to really break out as far as finding some charisma. The most charismatic time for him was when he leaned into doing his funny dance. But that got to a point where it was making him silly - something I don't think he (or fans) wanted. So that was also scaled back. At this point, I rate him in the middle of the road."
[7.0] "[7.1] I like DG, but he's undeniably just alright. Absolutely an extremely talented technician but doesn't feel anywhere near as put together in comparison to some of the other younger AEW guys like Fletcher, MJF, and even Yuta on some level. I think that once he does finally find that missing piece, he'll be fantastic, maybe even having a shot at living up to that position of successor to Bryan Danielson that TK seems to see him as fit for, but until then, just alright no matter how much I personally like him."
[7.0] "I like him, and he is a good wrestler and has done the best of Lee Moriarty, Wheeler Yuta and himself when the three promising indy technical worker joined AEW at around the same time, still I do not see him as the future of AEW."
[6.0] "Would give a 6.5 if I could. 6 feels too low, 7 feels too high. Daniel Garcia is great if you solely look at him as a wrestler, there is absolutely no denying that; however, he is missing something and I can't quite put my finger on it. It's not just that he doesn't have a character, there are a bunch of wrestlers without a character that I would rate higher than him. He seems like a nice guy, seems chill to hangout with, but he has no charisma beyond that. He is a subpar promo and almost never sounds like he wants to be there. Garcia was at his best when paired with Chris Jericho and it seems baffling to say about anyone in the year 2025 but he would absolutely benefit from being put with Jericho again as a heel or maybe even put in a partnership with a manager he could equally elevate such as Smart Mark Sterling; Sterling has the charisma and promo ability, Garcia has the platform for Sterling to be showcased more often, it would be mutually beneficial. Overall, Daniel Garcia is someone who *feels* like he should be my favourite wrestler and it's deeply unfortunate he isn't."
[4.0] "mildly athletic charisma vacuum, like many of his peers he can undoubtedly do the moves but everything else about him is just as bland as it gets, he has no personality at all and that fucking idiotic dance makes me more embarassed to be a wrestling fan than Santina in a pig den"
[8.0] "I started watching last year so are unfamilar with his uber early work. But in my opinion, Daniel Garcia is one of the most talented of his generation. There is something about the way Danny carries himself both in and outside of the ring that lends way to a natural likability similar to his namesake in boxing. He sort of reminds me of Daniel Craig, aswell. I would like to see a bit more improvement on the mic, however. He's naturally over with the crowd thanks to his dance, and has potential to hold the TNT title for a long time."
[8.0] "If Danny Garcia isn't your thing, then we're probably just into diferent things in terms of wrestling. I love this guy and think he can be one of the best organic babyfaces of a generation, he's just so fucking easy to like and he's absolutely fantastic in the ring. He's smooth, coordinated, technically proficient, has quickness and genuine athleticism that makes his shit look good. He looks like a real fighter, he's a good looking kid, charming as hell, and can talk. Full package, hopefully his career turns out with all the realized potential that he has."
[4.0] "Really not a wrestler I've ever been excited by, his main story of the past 2 years seems to have been "Will he or won't he thrust his balls in someone's face? ". For a guy who constantly gets pushed for his wrestling chops, he had one of the worst performances at the C2 in 2023, and fails to execute sharpshooters and boston crabs."
[10.0] "Simply put one of the best in ring workers in the us today I had heard of him as early as 2019 but since match with Yuta on 08, 08.21 was the best us match i had seen in 5 years to that time. Read my comment on aew my issues with how he been booked to one side. in bigger matches i think he under preformed in any way give 25-30 mins with Sabre Jr or as Zach had a match with someone like a Black terry. I Think that will di for him what Danielson did for Zach all them years back in Coventry sans the odd on ref botch] on person he's one of the us indie guys [ he was indie back then] that got match in the top matches of the year hell hos match with was my 2021 MOTY by five points that was the only match since Suzuki vs Tanahashi in 2012 i have given 100/100 points two and since then, only two other matches have got that score in the over 40k matches i have watch since 8.8.21 100/100"
[7.0] "The guy is good in the ring, the trick he used to start dancing was a little annoying but I admit that I laughed sometimes, he is a good villain and could be a good version of Razor Ramon as a cocky Latino, as a face I really don't see him as comfortable Although he is quite popular with the public, he is a good technical wrestler and has psychology in the ring, he has a lot to improve but his limit is the sky."
"I need him as some sort of champion by the end of the summer preferably beating Ospreay. Daniels got evrything you can ask for he knows his styler hes over with the crowd can have a banger match up supports other wrestlers constantly & has goofy comedy shit too. Daniel can be a damn good upper carder hell id even say main eventer with the right booking & Im really ready to see it."
[9.0] "At only 25 years old, Garcia is one of the best technical wrestlers in the business today. He is lacking natural charisma but has found a way to connect with the audience with his dance that always gets a big reaction!"
[4.0] "I feel like it's way too early to actually give him anything other than a 4. People were hyping this guy up like crazy, whilst the potential IS there I feel like it's going to take him quite a while before he eventually reaches that point. Good in-ring, needs to work on his actual look though because I think that's holding him back. The whole dancing gimmick is awful, should never have done that because it unfortunately got over. If he was happy being that goofy dancing guy then sure, good for him, but he clearly is capable of being much more than that."
[6.0] "Ein guter Techniker, aber er ist bei Weitem nicht so gut wie das von vielen behauptet wird. Charisma ist nicht wirklich vorhanden, character-work ist auch kein Thema und am Mic glaubt man ihm wenige seiner Zeilen."
[9.0] "I went to the first Dynamite of 2024 and after the show went off air, Tony Khan came out and said "You're going to be seeing a lot more of this guy (Garcia) in 2024! Get ready! " and i sure hope so. His technical grappler style is my favorite style of wrestling. If given the right booking and the right opponents, his 2024 could be phenomenal. Not sure if I see him becoming AEW World Champion, but I hope I'm proven wrong. He's been getting a big push at the time of writing this with House of Black/FTR, so hopefully it goes somewhere. Also wear trunks again please <3"
[9.0] "I've watched this dude compete since the beginning of his career in Buffalo, and you could tell he was gonna be good. That being said, he's on a whole other level, and is only getting better. One of the most complete in-ring wrestlers in the world, and as the fans continue to warm up to him, he's only going to get more opportunities to show how good he is. Dude is a stud!"
"Garcia is a more than competent technical wrestler, and it's a huge pleasure to watch his blend of inventiveness, athleticism, endurance, and moxie. While he may not have a distinct gimmick or incredible mic skills, his personality speaks for itself. He's emotional without being brooding, and balances both his machismo and his dramatic, effeminate moments. Knows when to work the crowd and when to get down to business. I don't need to be convinced that he's a tough guy, and I think those who read him that way may be misled. So happy he's free of the JAS. He deserves consistent airtime in AEW and enthused fans in/at other shows."
[8.0] "Daniel Garcia is an awesome in ring talent, and a HUGE prospect for AEW. I loved his match 2/3 falls match with Bryan Danielson, and I think it was a huge missed opportunity not having him join Black Pool Combat Club. It does suck that he loses so much, but I can't blame him for that, but he's only 25 plenty of time to start picking up some wins. In the next 10 years he's going to be a star for sure, because as a wrestler he's already top notch."
[7.0] "Very solid and skilled young man, Dani Garcia has done a lot of good things so early in his career. He's an incredibly talented and technical wrestler."
