[7.0] "Tony Nese is very good, even by only watching his AEW run, where he is mostly used as an enhancement talent thanks in part to his great selling, I was still impressed by his work. He looks great and can work with anyone on the roster and make them look good."
[7.0] "Wäre er 10 Centimeter größer, er könnte ein Star sein. So hat er einen beeindruckenden Körper und auch einen gewissen Wiedererkennungswert, das Gimmick als Vorzeigeathlet passt. Im Ring bringt er eine gute Energie, seine meist kürzeren Matches sind nie ein Weggucker. Im Zusammenspiel mit Mark Sterling ein guter Act für Rampage, für den großen Wurf reicht es wohl nicht."
[8.0] "Another quality hand who enhances the company by having both the look and executing in the ring. He seems at home with a stable in AEW, but he's another guy who'd probably benefit from a cruiserweight title in AEW/ROH. There is a surplus of potential star-power in the light-heavyweight division and a belt would give guys like this (among others), an opportunity to shine, rather than simply making others look good."
[5.0] "A very average wrestler who manages to have a certain ability to entertain and generate reactions, but is generally very limited, being mediocre both in-ring and on the microphone in general."
[7.0] "Ach wäre dieser Kerl abseits des Rings wenigstens halb so gut wie Im Ring. Neese ist ein sehr starker Wrestler, der fantastische Matches zeigen kann. Leider hat er die Ausstrahlung und Micskills eines Backsteins und keine Starqualitäten. Im Richtigen Team oder Stable könnte er vielleicht halbwegs relevant sein bei AEW, mehr aber nicht, was extrem Schade ist, da ich viele seiner Matches sehr genieße. Vielleicht kann er bei ROH etwas mehr reißen, da passt er deutlich besser hin."
[7.0] "Tony Nese has a great in ring style with his athleticism and good technical ability. He has wrestled everywhere and always puts on a good match. On the mic he is fine and he can play a gimmick. Just has not broken out to be a big deal in any of the major promotions he has been in."
[5.0] "Tony Nese has a lot of athletic ability, but that's it. He's not better in any aspect that any other wrestler, his face is not as intimidating as his body, and his charisma is non-existing."
[3.0] "Absoluter 0815- Wrestler. Ist im Ring in Ordnung, hat aber sonst rein gar nichts zu bieten. Keine Persönlichkeit, Ausstrahlung oder Fähigkeiten am Mikrofon ebenfalls nicht. Eine der sinnlosesten Verpflichtungen von AEW, wovon es in den letzten anderthalb Jahren genug Kandidaten gibt."
[7.0] "Underutilized wrestler. Good fundamentals and good in ring abilities. I also think he is quite decent in the mic. Unfortunately he has been underutilized by both AEW and WWE."
[5.0] "Besides his abs, he has no charisma or personality. Never cared seeing him wrestle. I dont hate the indie style, but Tony is a definite example of only wrestle good criticism thrown nowadays."
[6.0] "Tony isn't much to speak of from a charisma perspective; he's a guy who needs a manager. In the ring, his main asset is his selling: he knows how to make his opponent look great, which makes him mostly an enhancement talent at this stage of his career. He is, however, a very good enhancement talent, with enough athleticism to hang with just about anybody."
[8.0] "I've been a Tony Nese fan since he came to WWE, and he's really grown since then. However, the way his run with WWE ended was really disappointing, and I wish they used him right. In AEW, Tony is practically at home with Mark Sterling and Josh Woods as the Varsity Athletes. Tony is the perfect guy to put over a fan favorite and is fun to watch alongside Woods on Dark and Elevation. In the ring, he has a great physique with a gimmick that fits him and some decent moves."
[5.0] "Great in-ring worker and physique. Okay heel but not what I'd call charismatic and he isn't gonna win over any big crowd without a good manager. He's in the right place being a low to mid-carder on AEW. Great choice to put on a good match to hype up the crowd or to put over a babyface getting a push"
[3.0] "He has no charisma. No microphone capability, unfortunately. It has nothing to impress the fans. He may have a good ring skills, but this feature alone does not make him a good wrestler."
[4.0] "A very athletic wrestler but in most cases he fails to interest me with his matches, unless he has an exceptional opponent. Gets too much TV time in AEW, in my opinion."
[5.0] "Really good wrestler who has the potential to be a great wrestler. Surprisingly athletic given his build, but also in possession of the type of power that can make him an X-Factor in any multi-wrestler match. I really hope we see him develop his character more and thrive in a more fitting environment outside of WWE. All the tools to be a big deal."
[6.0] "Nese came into WWE at the time of the Cruiserweight Tournament. The issue with that is that many people all came in at the same time & as such; most got overlooked. Nese is solid in the ring & has a good look, but he's a character who does not have a lot going for him."
[7.0] "He's a good worker in ring as others have stated, hell he's great sometimes, but he just lacks that real depth to get people invested in him. There's nothing really there in terms of gimmick that makes you want to support him outside of a steady workrate. That might have been enough to get a major belt maybe 40 years ago, but we've gone far beyond that. Nese needs a gimmick and emote more in the ring if he's to be anymore successful."
[5.0] "Near isn't a bad wrestler whatsoever. He looks like a million bucks, is in stellar shape, and his wrestling is crisp and clean. He's just dull and one dimensional. His matches are your basic cruiserweight match, he doesnt have much of a personality to speak of, and his emotional range isn't there either. He goes through the motions of a solid wrestler, but aside from that, nothing about him stands out."
[8.0] "The Premier Athlete is One of the Best Cruiserweights in the Division, his Work in the Cruiserweight Classic was Really good. I could see him as a Future Cruiserweight Champ One Day!"
[8.0] "Tony Nese is so underrated he definently ndeserves more. He is great in the ring and I believe Tony has the looks to be a main eventer on 205 Live"
[2.0] "Sorry, but he's way to overrated here. He has a good physique, his in ring work is good enough, too. Sadly he is way too short to be a star. He has bad mic work; his voice doesnt fit his body and he has just no charisma. He's way to overrated here, so I got to rate 2 points. Hate on me indy darlings :P"
"He actually started back in 2003 and was wrestling for both MMWA and Border City Wrestling. He may have even wrestled for Great Lakes Wrestling but not positive about that one."
[9.0] "He is strong and athletic wrestler who prefer high fly style. Tony Nese is one of the best wrestler in indypendent pro wrestling scene and I see great future before him in WWE."
[10.0] "Mein Liebling von all den neuen Cruiserweights bei Raw. Total package der Typ. Sein Styl im Ring und seine Persönlichkeit sind total Interessant und seine Matches bisher nie langweilig. Hat mir von seinem ersten Auftritt bei der CWC sehr gefallen."
[8.0] "Nese has an interesting style for a lightweight wrestler, combining great high-flying skills with a strong power base. Every time I've seen him live he puts on a show-stealing performance. Has the skill, look and physique to make it big sooner or later."
[10.0] "It has been a long time since I have seen such an impressive all-around wrestler as Tony Nese. He's got the power thing down, he's a high-flyer, he's inventive as hell and the guy is shot through with charisma. This is the one indy wrestler on the scene right now who I think deserves to be huge."
[8.0] "Ein guter Techniker, der sehr gute Veranlagung hat und auch talent. Hat aber leider noch nicht so die Möglichkeiten bekommen sich in den großen Ligen zu beweisen. Hoffe aber das kommt noch."
[8.0] "Good wrestler, nice power, nice technical, nice moves. But he isn't in a major company like PWG, ROH or CZW. But watch his matches in EVOLVE/DGUSA and FIP."
[8.0] "Powerful, intense and very technical, it has everything a great wrestler. I watched his fight against BIG O for the title of the NYWC and it was a terrific match between these two warriors of the federation. His defeat is logical, but he proved he was among the best. I hope to see him soon at the highest level and especially on television. I like to see the fight .... it's a real fighter."
[8.0] "Gefällt mir in den Indys und auch bei TNA, ist eben nicht nur der normale Highflyer sondern hat auch Powerhouse moves auf Lager. Er bringt richtig Abwechslung rein, wir daber leider viel zu selten eingesetzt. Schade."
[5.0] "Eigentlich ideal für die X-Division. Wieder einer aus der erfolgreichen NYWC Schule. Hatte aber länger gebraucht bis er es verstanden hatte. Als Maverick hat er es doch ein wenig schleifen lassen. Aus ihm kann man was machen, nur darf man ihn jetzt nicht zum 08/15 X-Division Wrestler machen. Also 200 Moves innerhalb von 2 Minuten abspulen und 0 Profil haben. Da hätte man auch Leute wie Petey Williams behalten können. Ich denke in Zukunft dürfte eine höhere Wertung fällig werden."
[9.0] "I got to tell you, I already liked him before, but after watching his performance against Zema Ion on Impact, Anthony Nese just became one of my top favorite X-Division wrestlers in TNA! I love this guy's fast-paced wrestling! I love his lethal strikes! I love his ground and pound game! He doesn't do a whole lot of aerial maneuvers, but when he does, he executes them perfectly! I'm not kidding you! Anthony Nese impressed me so much in that match and he left me excited beyond belief every time he did any kind of move on Zema Ion because he just performed and executed his moves so well! I hope we'll see more of Anthony Nese on TV from now on!"
[8.0] "Anthony Neese has been extremely impressive in TNA. While he hasn't wrestled many matches, his agility, power and look had worked perfectly and he is definitely the future of TNA's X Division if he could get more time on tv."
[6.0] "Konnte in letzter Zeit auf jeden Fall auf sich aufmerksam machen. Ein schlechter ist er definitiv nicht. Kann im Ring sehr unterhaltsam sein und langweilig wurde mir bei ihm bisher noch nicht."
[6.0] "Nese zeigt eine gute Kombination aus Technik, Kraft und Flying Maneuvers. Potenzial zu höheren Weihen ist definitiv vorhanden; mal schauen, ob es ihm gelingt, dieses auszuschöpfen."
