[8.0] "Joe never became a household name worldwide but anyone who followed AJPW knew how valuable he was. He had that classic foreign powerhouse aura that reminded everyone of the old school gaijins like Stan Hansen and every time he stepped into the ring he felt like a genuine threat. His lariat was devastating too. Rest in peace, Joe."

[8.0] "All Japans last name making gunjin to achieve a massive opportunity but sadly taken away to due health reasons. I hate cancer. Joe is the best person to root for and his lariat full force is maybe Stan Hansen prime tier! All credit to Keiji Mutoh for discovering this man even after a short period trying to be a superstar. There are Talos, Odyssey, Xyon and Spoiler in AJPW during the 2020s cant quite reach the notoriety that Joe did capture in his tag team with SUWA whatever name their team took up. His stance could be up there as The Undertaker level but not as bad ass to Dr Death but Stan Hansen of the 2010s for sure! But his TNA run unfortunately took off slowly which is hindering since time was not on his side and VBD was just awful. Him and Eric Young on their own was a nice pair. But the group, forget it. One tough bastard & hope he is doing well as of 2026."

[9.0] "Joe Doering in a lot of ways is the Stan Hansen of modern day AJPW; a massive, loud gaijin donning a cowboy hat who is massively over with the Japanese audiences and known for his strength and stiff style. Doering is absolutely his own man in the ring though, he's proven himself time and time again, and even when he was put on the sidelines with brain cancer, he recovered from it and came back putting on even better matches than before,"

[9.0] "Joe doering is one of the best gaijin in Japan right now.. this guy had done good work in AJPW over the years.. I've enjoyed his Triple crown championship reign.. Rating should be higher for doering."

[10.0] "I can't understand why this guy rating is not higher. Doering is just awesome. Put some great matches with Sekimoto, Miyahara & Shiozaki for example. The best big guy in AJPW and one of the best in the world."
