[6.0] "One of the first light footed, turnbuckle/rope assisted American cruiserweights; smack dab in the middle of the era of giants. A true trail blazer who's most obvious influence was on Rob Van Dam. The original Battle Kat and by far the better one. However, there is a caveat: I think nerves caused him to kinda fumble often and come off as clumsy or confused - which was the actual detriment to his career, not his size (of that he made great use of). recommended but there's some cringe/botch moments in many matches. EDIT: Haven't changed much of the review but he's better than the score I gave him. ALSO! Since I had originally written this, some other inmates did a great job of explaining Mr. Boone to you all. 6.25"

[6.0] "One of the early backflippres in WWE/WWF history. The dude can do a backflip off of the turnbuckle, I've seen him also do back handspring flips and frontflips as well. Sadly for him, his short stature shortened his wrestling career, but made it up with his agility in the ring. If he didn't have his agility, I don't think he would've lasted long in places like WWF, or WCW. Then he became Battle Kat for the WWF in 1990. A silly gimmick that honestly looks and sounds stupid on paper. He also wrestled for WCW in 1994/1995 wrestling guys like Triple H, Steve Austin, Booker T, Dustin Rhodes, or just about everyone that worked for WCW at the time. His life was shorten after dying in a car accident in 1998. RIP Dean Peters"

[7.0] "Loved watching the agility and athleticism of this guy. Probably unfortunate that he was not in the right era for his type of talent and wrestling style. Used to remember he was the first guy I saw doing a backflip sell of a clothesline on a WWF show of all places. Would love to have seen what he could have achieved if he had been born 30 years later. RIP"

[4.0] "Another perennial babyface jobber of the late 80's WWF and he looked ALOT like a smaller Billy Jack Haynes. Guy was too small for his era despite being pretty athletic. Worked a couple weeks at the silly masked man Battle Kat. That went over as well as one could expect."

[6.0] "For his era, Boone was a fast and smooth worker with some great agility and acrobatic ability. His selling ability and smallish stature, though, ensured that he was mainly relegated to enhancement work when he got to bigger televised products like WCW and WWF. He had a bit more titular success on the independent circuits, including two runs with the NWA Pacific Northwest Tag title, and had several tours of All Japan Pro Wrestling to his credit. Boone may be best remembered for his masked, albeit very short-lived, character Battle Kat in the WWF (and the similar Fire Cat gimmick he used thereafter in the Abrams UWF). He rounded out his career as a referee in WCW before his sudden passing in a car accident in 1998. Having debuted in 1984, Boone may have been 20-30 years ahead of his time; with his style, had he come around in the 2000s or 2010s he'd probably have had a lot of success."

[7.0] "Great jobber/ low card wrestler. He was very acrobatic in the ring and was a high flyer. His prime was when he was in the Pacific Northwest and held the tag tea, titles with Coco Samoa and Ricky Santana. This man had many gimmicks form Battle Kat, Fire Cat , Lynxx and the Masked Firecat. In WWF he was interesting to watch as a jobber. Battle Kat gimmick was cool and I love how he did the Moonsault off the turnbuckle."

[6.0] "Talentierter Worker, der leider mehr als Edeljobber in der WWF eingesetzt wurde. Am Schluß floppte das Battle Kat-Gimmick. War immerhin bei All-Japan."
