[5.0] "I've seen the majority of his North American Territory run from approximately 79 to 85. He's mildly disappointing. One of the early "super muscular south sea island" wrestlers, before him they looked more bulky (Afa & Sika). So he kinda looks like Jimmy Snuka but he also looks like SIvi Afi and he's too close to the latter in skill to reach the heights of the former. He also didn't have much natural charisma, so that's another "more Afi than Snuka" strike. He's a bit too slow and plodding, he's also kind of ... short. His work isn't bad but you expect more from the look. I like the look! Too bad his work never really lifted off into a faster more captivating gear. As it stands, he's just ok."

[7.0] "An incredibly fun and underrated singles wrestler that could do springboards 10 years before they were popular. Not as cool as Superfly Snuka or as intimidating as one of the Samoans, Cocoa kinda got lost in the shuffle. Regardless, he had a long and fun career that spread all over the world. He deserves to be remembered."
