[0.0] "This guy probably has a front seat in the VIP section in Hell. Grizzly Smith is basically the Chasyn Rance of his day. EXCEPT WORSE, SOMEHOW. Grizzly however, did it to his own children, in addition to other underage girls. He's probably down there in Hell with Bob Sweetan as well."

[0.0] "I'm just here to pile the manure on the grave of this POS. Never saw his actual matches just photos and he looked like a cousin of the moondogs. Just another trashy looking redneck in ratty jeans. Jim Cornette talks him up from his days in the territories when Smith was a road agent and it seems like that's where Smith made his biggest mark in the business: Being a competent road agent who knew how to grease palms and get wrestlers off the hook with the law. His personal life has solidified him as the most evil person in pro wrestling history in a lot of fans eyes and anything positive he might have done is buried and lost to history."

[1.0] "It's hard to adequately judge Grizzly Smith as an actual in-ring wrestler due to the time that he came up in, and the limited available recordings of his work - at least that I was able to find. What I came across was a decent brawler, a bland promo, and an alright-looking giant of a man. He toured the southern territories in his time, mostly as a tag team wrestler, and didn't really seem to leave much lasting in-ring impact save for his children, and his treatment of them. Of course, Grizzly Smith was a monster.. A rapist, an abuser, and a whole lot of other awful things I won't go into here. For the same reason I'd reluctantly give Chris Benoit a higher score due to his in-ring accomplishments and talents, I feel like Grizzly was perhaps too talented in his time to get a flat 0 - though given the magnitude and evil of his crimes, it's sorely tempted and I don't blame anyone who does - but he still didn't seem very well accomplished, and really, considering the lasting mental scars and traumas he gave to poor Jake, Robin, and Sam Houston, it's hard to say he's credited for much influence, either. An awful human being, who deserves his stained legacy and little more."

[0.0] "After watching the Dark Side of the Ring episode on Grizzly and what he did to his children (Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Rockin' Robin, and Sam Houston) I can safely say that he is perhaps the most evil human being in professional wrestling history and I hope he's burning in hell as we speak. Fuck this pedophile rapist piece of shit forever. If I could spit on his grave I would."

[0.0] "A God-Awful human being. And I can't even call him that. Just a piece of shit. A pedophile and possibly a murderer. Thank God his son (Jake Roberts) is a million times better than his dad. And he even surpassed him in his life. So, fuck him."

[3.0] "Monstrous heel, who made a name for himself more as a team wrestler. His career was less memorable than that of his children, but his achievements as a rapist, pedophile and terrible person. But for his achievements in the world of pro wrestling, I give him 3 points, it is worth admitting that in the ring he was not as disgusting as in real life"
