[0.0] "The worst person TNA has ever had on the roster with any significant number of matches. Not a single ounce of in ring talent and completely incapable of saying anything on the microphone that isn't a catchphrase. Constantly the worst aspect of every segment he is a part of."
[8.0] "The biggest troll and honestly a very good pro wrestler. Smarks always thinking they know whats what with the wrestling community. But the man HAS a lot going for him. He's a decent wrestler in the ring. He's always putting guys over, and can do stuff outside of the ring which a lot of people don't understand. I'm giving my man the dub here, His tag team with KC Navarro gave him a new lease on life and I think he's doing fine. We need to stop being lame and give the man his just deserts. Top Dolla, whos hotta?"
[3.0] "He's not good & is most well known for his hilariously funny botched dive over the top rope. He wasn't good in the ring, but he wasn't as bad as being a botch factory at all times like some are painting him out to be. Obviously his reaction to fans who shit on him also did him no favors."
[0.0] "One of the worst in the world. I don't know what is worse, his gear, his promos, or his in ring ability. which if you only seen 1 out of the three that lets you know the other two aspects of his game must be. Its a wonder that he is able to get work at all, so I guess his perseverance is to be commended."
[6.0] "I have no clue why his score is this low. AJ Francis is a very solid heel in TNA, he's consistently entertaining (especially since being paired up with KC Navarro). He's good enough in the ring that his matches aren't slow or boring, and he's had multiple interesting feuds. He's pretty much made for TV."
"[0.0] A terrible professional wrestler. I do not care how good of a promo he is thought to be, it does not make up for how unwatchable he is in ring. There are many cases of good big guys in ring who arent the best athletes, AJ is not one of those cases. When he is not cutting borderline racist promo's on luchadores is he busy bumbling around the ring. His career highlight is a failed leap over the top rope, a deeply unfortunate pro wrestler."
"Look the reality is, this just might be the very worst wrestler to wrestle for the WWE / WWF in the past 40 years and in the entire history of TNA and GCW . He bumbles around the ring looking slightly of axis and ready to fall over. When he strikes his opponents he looks as though he is pretending to wrestle in the playground and when he talks on the mic he has nothing interesting to say and he does that in a very bland way. He is the worst professional wrestler I have seen in my entire life. He is worse than every backyard and independent wrestler I have ever seen. Someone has to be the worst and this for the modern age is the bench mark of bad."
[5.0] "Kommt in der Serie WWE Most Wanted Treasure sehr sympathisch rüber, hat viel Ahnung von dem was er spricht, reiste schon mit WWE Legenden. Das er nicht mehr bei der WWE wenn auch in einer Backstage Rolle ist hat nicht er verbookt sondern die WWE selbst. Bewertung für seine In Ring Fähigkeit entfällt noch. Edit 06.01.2025 Er bekommt von mir 5 Punkte. Er wird von vielen Indie Ligen gebookt, er ist bei TNA auch einer der Top Leute auch wenn viele das anders sehen. Er ist solide im Ring und macht sich in seiner Heel Rolle auch."
[6.0] "The body of this guy's main WWE work came during a time when I was not watching, so I was introduced to him through his work in TNA; I didn't even know that "flop dolla" was a thing until later. That said, it seems like he has improved a fair bit since those days. It's perplexing to me that he was a face in WWE; I struggle to even imagine wtf a face AJ Francis would look like. It seems like he may have been put into numerous positions he couldn't have been all that comfortable with, & it's a high-pressure situation for anybody to find themselves launched headlong into the WWE within 2 years & only 4 matches of being a wrestler. However, these days, in TNA, he has an array of good-looking moves, moves around well for a big guy, & is really killing it with this unlikable heel gimmick. He's not amazing in-ring, but his mic work is very noteworthy & I've never been sad to see him wrestle for TNA."
[6.0] "I hope some people will come back and re-rate him in the future as he has improved and I think some want to hold weird grudges. His improvement outside the WWE system is promising to me, he might just turn the corner working in front of hostile crowds."
[2.0] "Let us start with the positives: That attempted dive over the top rope is still very funny. Cons: Surprisingly little charisma for a man who tells you he is full of it, he looks like he has learnt to do some moves from computer games but nothing else that actually makes a wrestler compelling. Sometimes big guys need to just learn how to wrestle like a big guy well and leaves the flashy stuff to the little fellas."
[5.0] "He's not as bad as people say he is but he is no top star. He was a huge failure in WWE as Hit Row. But now in TNA he's doing a lot better. He's still pretty bad in the ring but I would be lying if I said he was horrible, He's kinda just in the middle."
[8.0] "hit row was a failure without swerve strickland, and a year after he returned he was released, now in impact is having a lot of screen time and also has got a title reign and got paired with a former world champion like rich swann, in few years he will become a valuable wrestler in the indies"
[6.0] "I missed the majority of his WWE run but I do recall he was famous for failing to jump over the top rope. I eye-rolled pretty hard when he immediately debuted in TNA. Felt like a bit of a "TNA is BACK" moment with them bringing in one of the least sought-after "ex-WWE guys." That said, I think he's been doing a good job in TNA, and I think he's a good presence on TV there. Some of the entourage stuff I don't personally need (since I don't know the majority of his celebrity pals, I don't get much out of seeing them, but I have to imagine the reverse is true for others), and while I think he and Rich Swann work really well together, it's a shame seeing Swann reduced to kind of a lackey. I also hope that there's bigger things for Josh Bishop than being a henchman."
[2.0] "Not a very good worker, he did have something going as the head "MC" of Hit Row, but once the bell rang, he always underwhelmed. Hasn't really shown much improvement since leaving WWE."
[5.0] "Seitdem Francis nicht mehr bei WWE unter Vertrag steht, konnte er sich schon etwas im Ring und am Mikrofon verbessern. Er ist zwar immer noch nicht der 1A Worker im Ring, jedoch hat er sich durch die unterhaltsamen Segmente bei TNA den Digital Media Championship verdient. Mal schauen, wie die Zukunft von ihm ausschaut!"
[0.0] "Horrendous worker, probably the worst worker to be on WWE television in the last 10 years and that includes Eva Marie. Slow, plodding style and a botch machine, his efforts are likely a big reason why hit row flopped on the main roster twice. At least it helped swerve get released"
[0.0] "Ein mieser Big-Man. Die ohnehin schon nervige Hit-Row Fraktion wird von ihm nochmal runtergezogen. Er kann ein wenig reden und ist groß, seine Größe limitiert ihn aber im Ring noch mehr. Ein clownesker Akt, der zurecht nie die Gefilde der absoluten Undercard verlassen hat."
[3.0] "When he debuted I thought we had something, but in NXT, he never really made me sit up and take notice, and when he got called up far too early, he, and the other 2 I never remembered the names of were just seen as poor John Cena imitators. They seemed more interested in rapping than actually competing. He also was a bit slow when other big men were really fast like Big Show and Rikishi. The worst part was without a doubt the moment when he tried a suicide dive and botched it very badly. In fact, it was so poor that Michael Cole even brought it up and whenever someone mentions it on X, he just blocks them. He might do better in TNA, but I still want to see him as a threat rather than what TNA has become which is where wrestlers go when they can't work anywhere else."
[6.0] "In NXT hr had promise but was green. When he was released with Hit Row folks were upset because they all had potential but were green. Upon returning he wasn't in the best shape and probably needed time to work through the ring rust. Then his flop dolla dive happened and every ounce of potential went out the wi down in the eyes of the fanbase. Top Dolla is good on the mic and okay as a wrestler. At one time, folks were SHOCKED at his agility, but when his health soured he instantly became "the worst ever". He's now in a solid place of rehabbing his career in TNA amd GCW. After a standout match against Janela and killing promos in TNA I feel more eyes should be on him and he should be given more credit. He's turned his health around, and is performing better. It's a shame how folks judge a wrestler on their lowest point. I just hope he doesn't worm himself into a shoot b.c he doesn't need to be beefing with other wrestlers in the indies. HES GOING FOR MOONSAULTS AND NAILING THEM. He's still green but working hard and hustling"
[3.0] "A big guy with not a lot of talent in the ring. He is a little better on the mic but not great there either. I guess he works as part of a stable but not in a featured role."
[10.0] "After seeing him last night on TNA, I gotta say this dude is Underrated, even though the Character of Top Dolla didn't work, AJ Francis is amazing and underrated, his release from WWE was necessary for his career to get better, I see now he's having a good time on TNA and a good work on the Indies, he's gotta return to WWE at some point and at least win the new Tag Team Titles or the NXT Titles with Ashante as the return of Hit Row, a better worked Hit Row, so I gotta give him a 10 because he's getting better and it's a very intelligent guy of this business, even though Hit Row was not loved stable on WWE, and everyone remembers him from the botch that he said almost finished his life, AJ (Francis) is having a good redemption on the Indies and now that he's under contract with TNA, so I just can wish him the best and prove that his release from WWE was good for his career"
[5.0] "I think people are a lil too harsh on him since his character blurs the line between real life and in ring as being arrogant. he's not bad at all and I think if he has more matches, he will clean up his minor mistakes in the ring that he makes frequently. he has me interested but I also need to see more out of him than the tag match on tna (which he did fairly good in)"
[0.0] "Do I have to say anything that hasn't already been said? Probably one of the worst wrestlers employed by WWE in years, for some reason was given a second chance and had an even worse run. He also has a massive ego despite being a failure of a wrestler."
[0.0] "It's a shame he got diabetes and blood sugar of 626 but please for the love of god, retire. Do not come back. I try to give chances but he's a bum, fired from NFL for being mid, fired from WWE twice. He was never good at football, he's not a good wrestler at all. If he's ever back, making him an enforcer with little action. Also he's a clown, I do not like the Young Bucks but his beef with them over shoes was the most braindead, clout chasing thing he did. Literally the whole thing over shoes made me not want to give him more chances because that was the dumbest thing I seen between anyone since I was in high school, 13 years ago."
[0.0] "Very bad wrestler, doesn't have any ring skills whatsoever. He's extremely boring as a character and talker, and botches a lot. He kind of became a joke these days, and it's a failed try to elevate another wrestler that came from the NFL. The NXT Hit Row days weren't that bad, but he was completely carried by the other members."
[0.0] "One of the worst wrestlers in the history of wrestling the only thing he will be remembered for is the flop over the top rope not surprised apparently he got released because of backstage politics. Hit Row was only good when it was Swerve Strickland group."
[0.0] "He sucks, he's an absolute shambles of a travesty of a joke of a wrestler! He must be drunk whenever he wrestles otherwise he has no excuse to be this terrible!"
[0.0] "This man absolutely sucks and has no place in the ring, seems to think he's a big deal but there's a reason he's seen as a joke on WWE. Because he is one!"
[0.0] "Someone was clearly drunk when they told Top Dolla he could wrestle because newsflash he can't! An absolute slug in the ring with how he moves and his level of delusion when it comes to his wrestling ability is breathtaking. Truly a fascinating specimen."
[0.0] ""Flop Dolla" würde besser passen bei diesem Wrestler. Wenn sein bisheriges Karriere Highlight und das einzige, woran sich die Fans bei ihm erinnern, ein komplett verbotchter Sprung aus dem Ring ist, ist das sehr traurig. Micskills sind ebenfalls wenig bis gar nicht vorhanden. Für mich persönlich das schlechteste Hit Row Mitglied."
[1.0] "Top Dolla is terrible. It's really crazy that he is featured on WWE television when there are, quite literally, hundreds of wrestlers who are infinitely better than him who aren't on television. A botch machine in the ring, terrible mic skills, and even worse songs. Awful, awful "wrestler.""
[0.0] "How on earth can this guy be a WWE wrestler? He doesn't even have a little bit of talent to do this: zero in ring work, zero mic skills, zero in everything"
[5.0] "This guy saved his WWE career by botching that dive leading to his subsequent heel turn. Cole burying him on commentary every possible chance he gets is one of the best things in wrestling at the moment! I always thought he had an decent look and that elbow drop is so stupid it's entertaining as well."
[2.0] "I'm not rooting for someone to lose their job but this guy should not be on national television whatsoever. Reminds me of the try hard kids from high school in like mid-2000s. Terrible style and his gear is some of the worst on TV right now. He does have some athletic ability for sure but it does not translate well in the ring. Limited promo time hasn't yielded great results but I don't think he has much after seeing what he's produced on Twitter."
[0.0] "The worst member of the botch row and probably the worst big man in pro wrestling right now. Can't move in the ring, so generic and cringe on the mic and has zero charisma."
[1.0] "Generic on the mic. Unexciting. In ring work is fairly bad and fake. Once picked up 3 people for a 3 person spot and they all just had to lay on him for many seconds before he did anything. Not cool enough to be cool, not good enough to be interesting."
[3.0] "Just bad. Terrible botch on SmackDown on 12/16/2022. It is not good, Hit Row has no effect... I hope he will be able to have good matches in the future...!"
[6.0] "I feel like Top Dolla is underappreciated. He's pretty damn athletic, being a former football player, and isn't a *terrible* hand in the ring. All he needs are reps. Top Dolla could easily be the next Umaga in terms of "big man that can SCMOOVE". I'm slightly biased, given his father was my high school gym coach, but seriously, T.D. isn't that bad. Looking forward to seeing how he evolves."
[5.0] "A bit impressive. He seems to be quick and slick for his size. He's a bit like Keith Lee, but I don't think it's that skill level yet, but he's young and inexperienced, there is still a lot ahead of him. Edited: I definitely overestimated him..."
[7.0] "I think he's underrated as a "big man" Wrestler. He definitely has a ton of room for improvement however I've seen many worse "big man" wrestlers with a lot more potential flop very fast."
[4.0] "yeaah, it's adequate... as this site suggests. Top Dolla is not interesting to see inside the ring, but Hit Row is an amazing stable, I believe their best form would be with Scott and Adonis as a tag team, B-Fab and Top Dolla on the mic, and even Top Dolla could be kind of an Adonis-Scott tag team bodyguard, would be really nice."
[6.0] "A satisfactory big man that has the potential be be an asset in a tag team. I can see Hit Row doing well with Hunter in charge of creative, and I see him thriving in that faction."
[1.0] "Furchtbar mies in allen belangen. Sieht absulut nicht wie jemand aus der im TV auftreten sollte und dazu noch im Ring mehr als sehr limitiert. Etwas reden bzw. rappen kann er. Das wars dann auch schon."
[5.0] "A decent powerhouse, he is strong and in tag team he manages well, outside of his in-ring work, he has also done that WWE treasure hunt program. As only wrestler it does not generate interest, but in tag team or stable is noted."
[5.0] "The muscles of the Hit Row. A passable powerhouse, which has already managed to light up earlier on WWE Network, starring mainly in a show about lost valuable wrestling attributes. There were rumors that he was disliked behind the scenes, but if consider him directly as a wrestler, then for his little experience he was decent and he fit in well with the stable."
[7.0] "Good entertainer. Can present himself and interact with the crowd. This kind of footage is essential for WWE. Not outstanding in the ring, but let's see what happens next."
