[3.0] "WCW's attempt (rather lame attempt) at copying Rocky Maivia in the WWF and they even pushed Iaukea to the TV title. Man! The Television title really got treated like crap between 1995 with the Renegade and 1997 with Iaukea here! The belt was more or less turned into an experiment for potential flashes in the pan to see if the crowds would bite. They eventually took the belt away from Iaukea because the crowds weren't going for him. Stuck around into WCW's dying days as a "former TV champ AKA Jobber To the Stars" and then got repackaged into that stupid Prince gimmick. His matches really sucked by the year 2000. Slow in the ring, very little personalty and I can't remember if he was good on the mic so I would say no."

[3.0] "Just never quite got what WCW saw in Prince Iaukea. Sure, he wasn't terrible, but he wasn't great either. He fit better in the TV division, as he was completely outshone in the Cruiserweight division. Although I will admit his TAFKA gimmick was amusing."

[2.0] "I just think he was boring as hell. Nothing about him was interesting. I'm basing this on my current watchalong so maybe he gets better but I highly doubt it"

[4.0] "Did what was expected of him, but never got a big push. Had some success in the early cruiserweight division in WCW before he became a mid/under card wrestler. Did a good job making opponents look good and was solid in the ring, so he was a good option for other wrestlers trying to get over."

[4.0] "Trained by Boris and Dean Malenko, Prince Iaukea was a solid in-ring technican who found success in WCW's undercard, earning two reigns as Cruiserweight Champion as well as a run with the TV Title. Though never a charisma powerhouse and lacking in the "it factor" to rise through the ranks, his skill set and ability to work with opponents in either the cruiser or heavyweight division made him a suitable fixture of the mid- and lower card. In WCW's later days he was repackaged as "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Iaukea, " and while the gimmick was a one-note joke, he made the most of it. Iaukea never made the jump to the WWF after WCW's closure, but he still sporadically makes appearances on the Florida independent scene and has had a hand in training a few wrestlers, including his son Nick Primo, with whom he challenged for the NWA Florida Tag Team Championship."

[6.0] "Despite never making it big in the midcard of WCW, I found Prince Iaukea as a decent competitor in his run in the company. He had minor feud with Rey Mysterio over TV title, which was okay and had some good matches, but I felt that the most entertaining part of his career was his 2000 run as ''The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Iaukea'' which was more or less WCW's rip-off of the Prince (the musician) with Iaukea dressing the same way, having rip-off of Purple Rain as his entrance music and sharing ''The Artist Formely Known As''- name with him."

[5.0] "Als Prince Iaukea fand ich ihn ziemlich langweilig, als The Artist ganz ok. Aber im großen und ganzen ist er ein unspektakulärer Highflyer."

[1.0] "Fürchterlich langweiliges Leichtgewicht. Ich habe mich immer gefragt, warum sie ihn in der WCW so plötzlich vom Dauer-Jobber zum CW-Champ gemacht haben. An seinen Ring-Leistungen kann's ja nicht gelegen haben..."

[5.0] "Sehr unauffällig, aber nicht im positiven Sinne. Als Prince Iaukea halt ein normaler Undercarder, aber als"Princeverschnitt" einfach nur peinlich."

[4.0] "Hatte zwar nur ein paar kurze Titleruns, aber das war in meinen Augen schon zu viel. Kam bei mir überhaupt nicht an, einfach nur langweilig und uncharismatisch!"

[4.0] "Kenne ihn noch bzw. NUR aus den "alten" WCW-Zeiten. Hab ihn immer gerne in Action gesehen. Hat es meiner Meinung nach mal verdient gehabt Cruiserweight Champion gewesen zu sein. Der große Push ist aber wohl zu recht ausgeblieben. Trotzdem "schade" das er soviel Geld gewonnen hat und seine Schuhe an den Nagel gehangen hat. Naja, vielleicht hat er ja irgendwann die Kohle verprasst und kehrt dann zurück. ;)"
