Chris Sabin

[5.0] "Mcmg is a cool tag team but they aren't my favorite tag team, Sabin cam wrestler but there are a lot of others who can wrestle better than him, we will see how they fair out but im excited to see what they do"

[9.0] "Chris Sabin might be one of the most underappreciated champions of the last two decades. He isn't flashy on the mic, and he doesn't carry himself like a superstar, but his work speaks volumes. Sabin was one of the original centerpieces of TNA's X-Division and helped shape its identity through fast-paced, innovative matches. His smooth transitions, crisp timing, and bumping ability made him one of the most reliable workers in the company. He won the X-Division Title multiple times and eventually captured the TNA World Title in 2013. While that world title reign was short and didn't fully click, it was a testament to how respected he was by the locker room and fans alike. Sabin never needed to cut 10-minute promos or chase headlines. He just showed up and delivered quality matches year after year. As a singles wrestler, he could keep up with anybody. But as a tag team wrestler, he found something even more special alongside Alex Shelley. Sabin is a ring general who stayed consistent for over two decades. Quiet, dependable, and criminally overlooked, especially by casual fans."

[10.0] "Most of what I said in my review of Shelley applies to Sabin, as well. I don't think his heel work is as solid as Shelley, but he is without question, the better babyface, IMO. He never got a ton of shots at world titles, but Sabin is what you want in a talent due to just how willing he is to work in any role. X-Division, tag, mid-card, main event... He's got you. And he'll make your guy look like a million bucks if you need him to. Hail Sabin."

[10.0] "A superb wrestler. Chris Sabin is one of the best wrestlers in the world and also one of the most underrated wrestlers on the planet. Motor City Machine Guns are most probably the best tag team in TNA history and Sabin is the greatest X Division champion in TNA history. I would love to see him win the TNA World Championship one last time at some point before he retires as a TNA original and mainstay."

"[8.0] In early TNA he was a talent that always delivered a good match, his Tag Team the Motor City Machine Guns had such great matches and their timing in the ring was perfect."

[10.0] "I remember watching his match vs Shelley at Genesis 2009, and watching it I realized that Chris Sabin does for me what maybe 4 or 5 other wrestlers ever have done for me and actually made me want to wrestle. It'll never happen of course, but Sabin making me think that shows just how exceptional he is. In the sky or on the ground he is up there with AJ Styles and Sting as one of the best TNA/Impact/TNA (again) guys ever in the ring, and the fact he still is able to do what he does best almost 25 years later and do it better than most wrestlers today is absolutely wild."

[8.0] "Sabin was one of the pillars of Impact Wrestling. Whether it was in the X-Division, with Alex Shelley as the Motor City Machine Guns or as a main event player and world champion. Sabin was consistently putting on great matches and good character work."

"incredible Wrestler, incredible in tag team matches and a king of the X-Division. He was part of the best tag team in TNA history and remains relevant after so many years in the company. I hope scott D'amore books a fight between alex shelley and chris sabin, i need to see this"

[10.0] "Basically the Kobe of flippy ****. Turns out he really was that good after he went singles. Total package. Best living flippy **** legend after Alex Shelley. Much better psychology than some of the younger guys doing the style. A real innovator. Another of these guys AEW should be writing royalty checks to. Never seen the guy wrestle a bad match. Cruiserweight height and weight and going singles too late in his career (which has been a great run) held him back IMO. Terrific in solo and tag team stuff. If you like wrestling, esp the flippy **** watch Sabin/Shelley Genesis 2009, their more recent match or any MCMG tag match. The Young Bucks whole schtick is MCMG (Shelley/Sabin)."

[10.0] "One of the best of the modern era who changed the whole style the business in the US along with Alex Shelly. Unfortunately, I don't believe the way Sabin shaped the business will be recognised until he is long retired. You can not watch any major UK or US promotion without seeing shades of Sabin and Shelly mixed throughout every level of the card."

[9.0] "I guess he got what it takes to be a main event star. he and Shelly come to my mind when mentioning guys like Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Jay Lethal and Christopher Daniels. he can cut good promos and he can deliver good matches. maybe if he wasn't in a team he would be more like the guys I mentioned above? who knows?"

[7.0] "Loved watching early 2010's Chris Sabin along with his tag team partner Alex Shelley. Even on his own he's still very good. This was especially true with his bout with Bully Ray for the championship in TNA which was very exciting."

[8.0] "Every time I've seen him wrestle, the result has been a really good and entertaining match. Whenever he's involved, you know you're in for something worth your time."

[10.0] "In the contention for THE most underrated wrestler of all time. Chris Sabin has always had simply fantastic matches across his career. It's worth mentioning that the Motor City Machine Guns are possibly my favorite tag team ever."

[8.0] "It is Chris Sabin.... he is just awesome. Everything he has done is always entertaining. I loved him in MCMG. Surely on the Mount Rushmore of TNA/Impact"

[8.0] "Chris Sabin might be most well known for being one-half of one of the greatest tag teams of the 2010s, the Motor City Machine Guns, but this 20+ year vet is also one of IMPACT's greatest wrestlers. When I think of some of the greatest matches in TNA's history, Sabin has got to be in at least half of them."

[7.0] "When people remember TNA's X-division glory days, they love to mention AJ, Daniels & Joe. But it was not just those three guys who made a name for the TNA brand. Low-Ki, Amazing Red, Austin Aries, & Chris Sabin really deserve to be brought up more than they are. Sabin was great in the ring. & did some great things with the X-division when it was around. He then successfully transition into a tag team that people were wild about for a few years. I'm kind of surprised he's often forgotten about today. All that said, he was never one of my personal favorites because he just seemed to me like he belonged in a boyband. Perhaps that's why others tend not to talk about him with fondness?"

[8.0] "Great both as part of one of the best, if not THE best, tag teams in TNA history and as a singles wrestler. Still capable of putting on great matches, as evidenced in his great run in NJPW's BoSJ last year."

[6.0] "I honestly don't know what anyone sees in Sabin outside of tag team wrestling. He's a decent worker but I feel he's pretty overrated. TNA should have never put the world title on him and his reign is very forgettable. I do remember him shining to a certain extent on the mic during his angle with Velvet Sky but that's about it. And that whole 'Hail Sabin' stuff in TNA was so cringe, lets be honest here. EDIT: Changed my rating from 4 to 6 because he's better in tag teams."

[10.0] "Sabin is a under-rated promo (look at his time as TNA Champion). He was great in ring and had the talent to turn a horsesh*t angle into something really enjoyable."

[10.0] "I don't really understand, why Chris Sabin's rating is so low. His moveset is unique. Mic skills are not bad. Moreover, Sabin has charisma, the X-Factor. Awesome singles and tag team wrestler. He was great in Motor City Machine Guns. Chis Sabin is definitely not worse than Shelley. One of the best performers in the history of TNA"

[9.0] "Highly underrated due to how talented his tag team is. Didn't let his injuries slow him down. Still one of the best guys in ring"

[6.0] "Sabin's always been slightly bland to me as a singles guy, but he's obviously a very talented worker. Doesn't bring a ton to the table in terms of mic skills or character work, but excels in tags and high-flying situations, and really found a perfect partner in crime in Alex Shelley. Sabin getting a world championship on a national stage was a bit of a head-scratcher and a bit of a credibility hit to an already faltering promotion, but kudos to him for his years of service and for being able to come back as good as ever despite some rough injuries."

[8.0] "Until his departure from TNA, Sabin had been a staple of the X Division almost since the beginning, and for good reason. He was always exciting to watch in that fast-paced, high-flying environment. He also had lots of opportunity to shine as a tag wrestler, most notably in the Motor City Machine Guns with Alex Shelley, with whom he had fantastic chemistry and tons of interesting tandem moves, and also while teaming with Sonjay Dutt. His mic skill might be his weak point, but it's not a big deal if he's placed where his high-flying skill can do the talking. And anybody who names themselves after a 'Final Fantasy VI' character is A-O-K by me. His short run with the TNA World Heavyweight Title was poorly handled, but that's hardly his fault; he shouldn't have been put in that position. Has had regular work on the indy scene since leaving TNA, and it's only a matter of time before he shows up on TV again."

[8.0] "A shame his out of TNA, he lost two wonderfull years by surgeries and now have another chance in the Indy Escene, good look man."

[9.0] "The best X division wrestler in TNA history. I was pleasantly shocked when he knocked off Bully Ray to win the World title, and the Motor City Machine Guns are one of my favorite tag teams ever. HAIL SABIN!"

[7.0] "Chris Sabin really knows what he is doing in the ring. An athletic impressive wrestler who, sadly often comes off as bland. He can sometimes rise above that (turning heel recently, is incredible tag team run with Alex Shelley), but he might never reach higher grounds because of it. Pity..."

[9.0] "To come back from having his ACL torn twice, I can't think of anyone else whose been in TNA as long as he has who deserves to be the TNA World Champ. Here's to what hopes to be a successful run for Chris Sabin."

[8.0] "Great junior heavyweight, I've never seen a match of his I didn't enjoy."

[10.0] "I'm a fan of both Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, and even though I love them as a tag team, if I ever see the Motor City Machine Guns break away from each other and become singles stars, I see Chris Sabin as more of a world champion caliber athlete than Alex Shelley to be honest. I know I'm maybe going to get heat for that, but this is just my personal point of view and preference on the whole subject so whatever. Don't get me wrong, Alex Shelley is great in the ring, I'm not denying that one bit, but I just can't get into his personality cause he tries too hard to be funny on camera to entertain the fans. When I look at Chris Sabin, I see him as the better worker than Alex Shelley, I see him being more talented than Shelley in the ring, and unlike Shelley, he doesn't try to be funny on camera. He's more serious on the mic and it seems like he has more fire than Shelley has and I really like that about Chris Sabin. Again, I know so many people would probably disagree with me, but like I said, that's just me and how I view Sabin from my perspective."
