[10.0] "This guy rules. For an indie wrestler, he sure knows how to get heel heat. From being attacked by children and even babies during his matches to being managed by Frank The Clown. I'm honestly surprised how he hasn't been signed yet. He's a huge staple to the Chicago wrestling scene, so hopefully freelance puts the world title on him soon because he's earned it."
[5.0] "NOTE: 5 points is the highest rating I give to regional Indy wrestlers who are unproven on television. 5 points for a regional indy wrestler indicates that they are among the best in the territory. The ceiling I place on my ratings of regional indy wrestlers has nothing to do with talent, but with them being unproven on a grander scale than their normal audiences ... I have very much enjoyed watching Trevor Outlaw heel it up all over Chicagoland the past few years. He's clearly a star student of "Being a Heel 101, " and it seems Freelance Wrestling is gearing him up for a title run sometime this year. This is certainly well-deserved, as he has probably been the promotion's top heel over the past several months. He's a handsome dude with good gear, good tattoos, and a great tan. Though his physique isn't great, I actually think it works really well for his character. However, I imagine he'll need to improve his physique if he wants to take the step towards the next level. There are exceptions, but not many wrestlers on TV have dad bods. While not super duper impressive in-ring from a physical standpoint, he has all the intangibles nailed down. He's great at working the crowd, selling, facial expressions, comedy, body language, and timing. He's also very good and comfortable on the mic, something not many people at this level have a knack for. I wouldn't be surprised if I found out he was a former drama student or actor. I recently watched the Freelance Academy Show, which Trevor Outlaw did commentary for, and I was very impressed with him. He put over everyone while still heeling it up and being quite funny as well. Like I said, I assume Trevor will be a champion of the Freelance Territory soon. I look forward to watching him grow in that role, and seeing what he can bring to the table as the top guy with the belt. I would also like to see him ditch Frank the Clown as his manager. Frank is an absolute heat magnet, though I sometimes feel he distracts the audience from Trevor. If Trevor is to take that next step, I think he needs to go solo as a heel and see if he can garner similar heat on his own. There are plenty of young heels in Freelance who could use Frank's help getting heat. I think Trevor has outgrown the need for a manager like Frank. Trevor has been getting more work in GCW lately. I hope that continues, and I look forward to upping my rating for him within the next few years."
