[6.0] "A beautiful big monster man with shocking acrobatic abilities and great ring work, held entirely back by a viking gimmick that is dumb on paper and even dumber when you find out that he's straight edge IRL. I am always excited to see him in the ring and hope that some day he gets away from this character."

[3.0] "Für derartige Gimmicks kann ich mich einfach nicht begeistern, sowas möchte ich nicht sehen und eine derartige Darstellung der Athleten hilft keineswegs weiter Professional Wrestling als Kredibilen Leistungssport zu etablieren."

[4.0] "He's a great worker but I can't get over how stupid the viking gimmick is, I really can't get in to his work in any way when I'm distracted and put off by the silly gimmick. Not that I think all wrestling is supposed to be all serious but I don't think it fits the product at all, it's also silly in the wrong way"

[8.0] "Big man whos really captured my attention since his transition into a solo act. Can hit awesome high spots, willing to take some crazy spots, looking forward to seeing more of Ivar!"

[7.0] "Talented big man with great unexpected high flying moves. He was alright solo in ROH but much better when he started teaming with Rowe. They don't have the greatest mic skills but are amazing in the ring."

[6.0] "Very agile big man who is pretty good in tag teams. Viking Raiders are very underrated and should be used well."

[8.0] "Ist mir damals beim ROH Top Prospect Tournament 2014 sehr positiv aufgefallen. Sehr beweglich für seine Größe, gutes Gimmick, arbeitet sauber im Ring, kann viel einsteigen und austeilen, kein leicht zu besiegender Mann, kann auch ein Rad schlagen. Hier ist großes Potenzial vorhanden. Gute Verstärkung für ROH. Edit 9. 12. 2020 Fehlt Erik aktuell sehr. Die WWE traut sich auch aktuell nicht Erik für einen Singles Push zu bringen. Todd hat sich im September eine schwere Nackenverletzung zugezogen und wird noch lange ausfallen."

[6.0] "He might be the best part of the Viking Raiders but he still is boring and has no potential as a solo wrestler. Has some cool moves."

[7.0] "Very athletic big man who truth be told I have never seen as a singles competitor. He has always been in a tag team with Ray Rowe since before I knew about and in every match i've seen. I am sure he would be capable but let's keep War Machine, sorry War Raiders together for awhile yet."

[8.0] "When I first saw Hanson work, he was on the indie scene, clean shaven, and playing a bit of a goofball gimmick. I found his work entertaining then, but I definitely didn't foresee his rise as a mega-bearded badass – which probably speaks to my own lack of imagination because it sure seems obvious now. He plays the role very well, and possesses a moveset beyond what you'd expect from that sort of gimmick. Based on seeing his early work I'd say he has more potential on the mic than I've seen him show in ROH."

[10.0] "Hanson is a hoss among hosses, a viking of a man that can pull that look and gimmick off unlike most. A great blossoming singles talent and a proven tag team worker in ROH as part of War Machine, Hanson is an incredibly agile athlete, pulling out smooth cartwheels and moonsaults unlike almost anybody else his size. One of the more underrated hosses in Ring of Honor and in the New England independent scene, such as in Northeast Wrestling where he holds their top title as the War King."

[7.0] "Hanson has an interesting skill set, with lots of the power moves and explosive strikes you'd expect somebody who looks like a viking to employ, but with some surprising agility mixed in. Hasn't shown a whole lot on the mic thus far during his time with ROH, but has the look, intensity and presence to make up for it. Fun to watch on his own, but I'm especially enjoying his tag team work with Raymond Rowe as "War Machine. ""

[10.0] "After watching and noticing Hanson throughout this first year I've watched him, I've always liked his look with his beard and his wrestling attire cause he always looks like a viking and he's badass like one too. Hanson is tough as nails with every clubbing blow, every big boot kick he executes. Also for a big guy, he's pretty athletic as well. He is a perfect definition of a top prospect for ROH in 2014. Yeah he may have won the tournament but I consider Hanson one-half of the top prospects of ROH in 2014 and the other being his partner Raymond Rowe in War Machine of course."

[7.0] "I like him. He is a scary wrestler. Also, he is a very athletic giant. He can perform a moonsault, spin kick and cartweels."

[7.0] "Gute Ausstrahlung, sauberes gimmick play und er überrascht im Ring. Er hat das Potenzial, beim aktuellen RoH-Produkt eine große Nummer zu werden. Allerdings ist er mir im Ring fast schon zu unwirklich. Ich würde mir von ihm noch etwas mehr gesunde Härte wünschen, dann könnte er vom Stil her so eine Art neuer Joe werden."

[8.0] "I like this guy. He showed a ton of potential in the ROH Top Prospect tournament. Plus I automatically like a big guy who can move like a cruiserweight (cartwheels, moonsaults, a sick spin kick). I'm looking forward to seeing what he and his War Machine partner Raymond Rowe accomplish in ROH."
