[5.0] "Another case of natural talent being wasted on somebody with severe mental disorders and a drug habit. Guy was a huge flapping horse anus according to many backstage and you can probably chalk that up to the drugs and his brains being mush."
[1.0] "Most old schoolers love him but I'm not like most old schoolers. Didn't like him as a youth and as an adult I pretty much despise him. Selling? MAULING. Working with? MAULING. Putting over? MAULING. No matter the town, no matter the booking, no matter the year - he went into business for himself and I don't like it. He avoids a zero because he's been in tag matches where he wasn't in the ring much. 0.75."
[10.0] "Top 5 most underrated wrestlers ever, but it seems like that's all his own fault for being an unreliable dickhead. Still, when Buzz Sawyer showed up to work and was down to do business, he was one of the greatest performers to ever step foot in the ring. An absurd physical specimen, for a wrestler at the time, it seemed like he was capable of doing ANYTHING. As an unhinged literal mad DOG in his final major wrestling run in WCW, he participated in some of the craziest angles and promos of the time. Up until the end he could still go in the ring, but the damage to his body/character had been done, his drug addictions caught up to him, and after his death he was largely forgotten, but with the almost unlimited access we have in today's era to the wrestling he was such a major part of, his name has been mentioned more and more. Still, the Mad Dog was one of the unsung best ever."
[9.0] "Would have loved to see more of this guy. He was like a Mad Dog Vachon. Remembered in Mid-Atlantic, Mid-South and Georgia. His style was excellent and could cream an opponent."
[8.0] "He was a very good wrestler, and a very believable heel. He did a crazy act that always made you wonder if he was about to go psycho. Unfortunately his personal demons destroyed him, and led to his death. But during his prime, he could wrestle or brawl with the best of them."
[8.0] "When people think of Sawyer they think of the Last Battle of Atlanta and his crazy antics. True he could play the crazy part better than most, maybe due to certain "aids" it was not a act but nonetheless if you look past the crazy gimmick Sawyer was a hell of a wrestler. He could go toe to toe in a legit wrestling match with the best of them. Too bad he was never given more chances to show that side."
[9.0] "Very underrated brawler who had charisma out the wazoo. Couldn't take my eyes off him in a match or cutting a promo. Never knew what ol Buzz was gonna do next. Miss guys like him. RIP BUZZ"
[9.0] "His lifestyle got in the way of his success as it did for too many wrestlers over the years... eventually leading to his early death that cut his career short. For awhile, Buzz was seen as main event material. His feud with Tommy Rich is still legend to this day. By the time I was watching him on Crockett and in World Class, politics had relugated him to mid card, but he could still get over. Buzz had a natural charisma that made me care about everything he was doing."
[9.0] "Buzz Sawyer was an excellent heel. He was bat**** crazy, and did some great promos that sometimes got a bit over the top. Wrestling-wise he was a well polished brawler with a really good amateur wrestling background that he would have brought out when he wanted to, and legend has it, he was one was the genuine tough guys in the business. However, despite his incredible talent, it seems that his psychopathic character wasn't entirely an act, which is a scary thought. In the end, he was another victim to drugs."
[7.0] "Vom "Weirdo"-Faktor wohl einer der verrücktesten Wrestler aller Zeiten, mir kann keiner erzählen dass der Kerl außerhalb des Rings ganz richtig getickt hat. :) Unterhaltsam war sein seltsames Verhalten im Ring allemal, auch wrestlerisch hatte der Mann durchaus etwas auf dem Kasten, für seine Größe verfügte er über beeindruckende Kraft und athletisch war er auch noch."
