He's not bad on the mic but you couldn't put a gun to my head and ask me what he's done and get an answer from me, and looking through my history I've apparently seen him a lot, which frightens me. Did Mark Sterling ever really exist? Do my memories exist? I can remember matches where he's been actively involved and forget that he had any part in them. Mark Sterling has a perception filter on himself and I don't think I'd believe he was real were it not for this site."

[3.0] "Better with the microphone on his hand than most of the wrestlers in this building honestly. He even appeared sometimes as MJF's lawler or something like that. I don't enjoy his in ring skill, neither his presentation. But I guess he is at the position he deserves to be. Don't bought anything for the dub currently at all."

[8.0] "Mark is a wonderful human being. In the ring he shows his passion for the buisness. Like his character or not. He knows how to have a great presentation and presence. He is compelling to watch. Mark Sterling is a name to watch out for when watching ROH. He strives for his premier athletes to be the best, with the heat they have outputted they are hardcore heels. Athletes rule"

[3.0] "I don't think he brought much to the talent he surrounded himself with. He just seemed like he really highlighted the "fake"aspects of wrestling. I know someone like IRS isn't a real tax man, so why does this guy need to be a real lawyer? It just feels like a different time. Him running around threatening to sue anyone who crosses him feels like it's from a bygone era that is tough to connect with me nowadays."

[6.0] "A decent scumbag Heel manager who at the same time is so massively OVEREXPOSED all over the new ROH it's not even funny. He is not Bobby Heenan, so it gets tiring seeing him again & again."

[6.0] "Mark is a graduate of the CAP Academy, who is still a frequent guest there, but in recent years has managed to establish himself as an on-screen character in AEW. A good old-school heel manager, who is fun to watch and who has had some success in the lawyer's gimmick."
Daigotsu wrote on 15.01.2023:
[7.0] "Sterling cracks me up. He's the best of the AEW managers and a good throwback to the sleazy managers of the 80s. He does a good job of trying to keep the focus on the people he's managing, and he's a very fun character to have in AEW."
AxlRouth wrote on 23.10.2022:
[8.0] "He's a really good manager, making it easy to dislike him as a heel. I've interacted with him while in character, and he's a natural."
turk wrote on 17.08.2022:
[7.0] "A good heel manager. I love watching him on TV, it's obvious he's good at this. But he can be better by improving himself"
Dogo763 wrote on 01.08.2022:
[7.0] "He is a good fit for Tony Nese. He can deliver a solid promo and is serviceable in the ring. You can count on Mark to work safely with celebrities and developing talent. I would like more focus on his lawyer gimmick."
Beneyriey wrote on 13.07.2022:
[2.0] "Mark Sterling's persona in All Elite Wrestling is blatantly phoney. We live in an age where most wrestling fans watch today's product without any real suspense of disbelief, and Mark's exaggerated play-acting on national television as a "lawyer turned manager" is a solid example of this."
RockinRobin wrote on 30.05.2022:
[7.0] ""Smart" Mark Sterling has solidified himself as a manager. His work with MJF, Jade Cargill, and Tony Nese have all been well done. If he can push to that next level and continue as a manager with some more longer feuds, he can keep growing talent with his smarmy attitude."

[8.0] ""Smart" Mark Sterling has his character down to a tee and has great delivery and comedic timing. In a lot of ways, he is a throwback to the best managers of the 1980s and 1990s. I always look forward to his segments."

[6.0] "I rate him only as a manager, and the persona that I saw on AEW. Quite good with MJF and i've some great hopes about his alliance with Jade Cargill."
