Dave Peterson

[6.0] "Not much to say about DJ Peterson, he kind of looked like Jerry Allen but taller, I think Peterson was a solid in ring worker, but he lacked charisma and mic skills. He had a good enough look and he was tall. It seemed like every place he worked for, he was either low card or mid card at best. I think Peterson was one of the few positive things that happened during the dying days of the AWA, he did a have a brief feud with Curt Hennig, but it went nowhere because nobody cared enough, and people were tuning into WWF TV. Peterson did actually have a small run with the WWF. He was pretty much put into the role of Jerry Allen/Scott Casey type jobber, but his WWF stint was cut short for whatever reason, even though I thought he could've stayed longer and he would've made more money. Peterson eventually came back to the AWA and became the last AWA tag team champions with Del Wilkes, and a few years later he died in a motorcycle crash at 33 years old."

[6.0] "I liked his stuff. Enhancement talent who worked for *e v e r y o n e* in the mid to late 80's. DJ Peterson had one of the best bodies in the biz (think peak Hercules Hernandez but tanned and with larger pectorals) and was silky smooth with his work. That last statement is full of irony because only with Hercules was there a shoddy spot to be found. I'll always feel he was about 2 or 3 years away from a complete character and persona makeover - however his life tragically ended before such a fantasy could occur. I really wish there was more to say about his career but what's there I appreciate."

[4.0] "Jobber who would get offense in during his brief WWF run. Had a nice run in Central States and was an AWA tag team champion during the last legs of the promotion, Had a great look, but below average the few times I've heard him on the mic. Almos killed Hercules when he accidently tripped him to the outside of the ring during one of his few WWF televised matched. Died in a motorcycle accident at age 33 so who knows what could have been."

[6.0] "Didn't have the most exciting moveset but performed well for AWA being one of their last tag team champion, possibly could of had a bigger career afterwards if not for the motorcycle accident"

[7.0] "Great jobber! Wrested mainly in low card events. His moves were excellent. He was successful in AWA and Central States. He briefly jobbed in WWF and WCW. His muscular statue helped him. He was tag team champion with Shawn Michales in Texas All-Star Wrestling. Who knows where he could have gone in his career if he did not die in that motorcycle accident."

[6.0] "DJ Peterson had the kind of look and size wrestling companies craved in the '80s and early '90s, and wrestled a solid heavyweight style for that time. He had a good run in the midcard of the AWA in that company's later years, most notably being half of the last AWA World Tag Team Champs along side the Trooper (Del Wilkes). He was the kind of guy the WWF or WCW could easily have picked up and turned into a star on the midcard level or perhaps even higher, but sadly he never had the chance, as he lost his life in a motorcycle wreck in 1993."

[6.0] "had a good look... worked a competent mid card level match mostly in the awa. i do see a future for him in wwe or wcw but mostly as a curtain jerker. unfortunately the motorbike accident took him too soon. i was a fan of dj"

[4.0] "He was, from what I've seen, an average, but unexceptional ring worker who lacked charisma. Very sad what happened to him."
