[6.0] "Hail was a classic late nineties big man whose biggest strength was his sheer size and intimidation, as he looked legitimately enormous and physically credible the moment he stepped into the ring, and he could move well enough for his frame to make power offense like slams and his leaping piledriver feel impactful and dangerous, but his weaknesses were equally clear in that he was rough and unpolished, lacked refinement and nuance in his work, and never showed much in the way of character depth or promo ability, which combined with inconsistent booking and serious health issues meant he was mostly used as enhancement talent and never given the time or protection needed to develop into more than a short term monster, leaving him remembered more as an interesting what if than a fully realised performer. XWF clearly were going to do something with him which I'm sure would have lead to him being fed to Hulk Hogan eventually."

[1.0] "A juiced up dude who had very little to offer in ring other than his looks and basic moves. Idek why WCW would hire him when they had such a star studded roster."

[1.0] "Classic WCW hire. Big strong-looking guy with no in-ring talent. Got more matches than he ever deserved. The least they could've done is used him as a jobber, getting a win over a big strong dude always looks decent."

[1.0] "A boring and clumsy wrestler whose career ended almost as quickly as it began. His famous spot in match with DDP on Thunder the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in wrestling."
