[5.0] "This guy is one of the most "I have no idea how to do half of the moves I'm doing, but I'm going to fucking do them goddamnit" wrestlers I've ever seen. Not too remarkable honestly, he may have been considered one of the best high flyers of his time, but his matches have aged poorly as better, more talented wrestlers came along."
[4.0] "Good at what he did, never deserved to go any higher than what he achieved. You didn't see a lot of people on the indies at the time he was a round, doing what he did."
[7.0] "The best worst wrestler ever. This guy is one of the most innovative, ahead of his time wrestlers from an era that was inbetween the revolution that was ECW and the great mid 2000s independent scene. Now, he did have terrible problems with selling, psychology and the sorts and is mostly known for botching 1/3rd of his offense, but there is just something so endearing about this tall balding white guy with Asian lettering on his shirt and pants coming out to Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park acting like a martial arts master and doing some of the most insane and often times too ambitious high flying spots you'll see. Ric Blade is the human encapsulation of the year 2001."
[0.0] "Ric Blade was a woefully bad wrestler, who got something of a buzz for being wiling to do reckless stunts. And Ric Blade had to do those stunts in order to get attention because he wasn't good enough to get attention through any other means."
[1.0] "Hat das Gimmick von JT Smith - ungewollt. Unglaublich schlechter Spotwrestler, der aber irgendwie doch over und in Köpfen verankert ist; ein totaler No Name bei der jungen CZW war er eben nicht."
[6.0] "You fucked up! You fucked up! - Mit Sicherheit war Blade ein grundsolider Spotwrestler, aber wirkliche Beachtung fand er dann doch nur durch seine Sprünge... ins Nichts. Aber dennoch sind seine Matches mit/gegen Nick Mondo und die Backseat Boyz ein wichtiger Abschnitt in der Geschichte von Combat Zone Wrestling."
