104.05.2025Rassle Fan2.0He was only over for about 2 years and all of that was based on his catchphrase and introduction before matches as part of the New Age Outlaws. They were an entertaining team but never really had a great match except against Terry Funk & Cactus Jack. Otherwise they rode the success of DX and when that ended, so did Road Dogg's popularity. Then he went to TNA and tried to do it again and was carried by Konan and R-Truth. He's a sycophant to Triple H and has one of the worst creative minds in the business.
205.04.2025Havoc Rave4.0Road was someone very lucky, for everything he had, he was lucky to be at the right time, along with the right people. His MIC ability was fine, not very remarkable his promos, but if he was able to go crazy to the public saying (Ladies and Gentleman... and the rest you know), but could not do that, this is obvious if you saw it in TNA, where he did the same intro but changing minimum things. I like to see him more like New Age Outlaws than in DX, he can simply highlight the usual.

1728.12.2024TripleCrown4.0Road Dogg is incredibly lucky to be good on the mic, because without that charisma he wouldn't have made it very far in professional wrestling. In-ring he's incredibly average and doesn't leave a lot to the imagination. I also think he was in the right place at the right time, 10 years earlier and 10 years later, he wouldn't have found any success in the industry.

2021.10.2024socktherapy3.0Never liked anything about this guy. Lackluster in-ring skills and I personally couldn't stand his lame gimmick or the same corny promos he would repeat everytime he grabbed the mic. He also looked more like an elementary school janitor than a wrestler.

3227.05.2024crs2855.0Act that could get over with solid in ring work and great charisma. His in ring work is not quite as good as his father's or his brothers' but he is still solid in the ring. He had more charisma than any of his brothers. His work backstage has proven that he has a good mind for the business.

3507.05.2024devourblast2.0I've never understood the appeal. Firstly he wasn't good in the ring basically ever, especially next to Billy Gunn and X-Pac who were competent to good workers in the ring. He could talk and hew as over and maybe I didn't watch the attitude era because I was 3 but it just comes off as bad. Maybe the white guy stealing from black culture gimmick was more over then I'm not sure. Was also a real stinker of an IC champ at a time of amazing IC champs.

4924.09.2023pave8.0one of the most over acts of the attitude era. his score here is baffling. he wasn't great in the ring, but was serviceable. he was a great talker, great character, and as charismatic as any non-main eventer in the company. the Outlaws were the only tag team worth watching in the WWF in the late 90s until E&C, the Dudleys, and The Hardys got over. those 3 teams ended up being better and more popular, but from late 97-mid 99 the tag division was lucky to have the Outlaws.

5501.06.2023greaterdale3.0Everyone always used to say he was a great promo. But like he cut the same promo over and over again, it never really changed, and then when he got in the ring he was completely lost out there. The New Age Outlaws were popular no doubt. But without Billy Gunn this guy would have either been a repetitive manager or a complete flop so it's hard for me to want to rate him highly.
5630.05.2023DangoDaisuki5.0 
5723.05.2023Giantfan19805.0By far the most accomplished on the Armstrong brothers. Probably had the most unique look, and by far the best character and charisma and the best on the mic, but at the same time, possibly the weakest in the ring in terms of skill. Proof that you can get away with a lot based on charisma. Red hot from late 97-late 99 but the character was getting stale in 2000 and the DX thing outlived it's days. Very close to being in the top 5 guys of the WWF Attitude era of 99.
5823.05.2023Mister Cute Face3.0Completely unremarkable. A good catch phrase and entrance. That's about where it ends for me. Had decent charisma, but nothing special at all in the ring. Didn't have the look, the moves, or the mic work to overcome an at best meh performer.

6707.02.2023GonzoAppreciator4.0While I enjoyed Road Dogg's work in the WWF (especially his tag stuff with Billy), Road Dogg's TNA run was such a disaster that I can't really give him that good of a rating. His humping pump handle slam is also one of the dumbest finishers I've ever seen.

7020.01.2023benh22.0Kind of baffling how he is an Armstrong yet has no in-ring skills. Had a bad look which meant he was always covered up, poor moveset, no psychology, no stamina. Managed to get himself over with a single catchphrase which I suppose should be commended in a way.
7106.01.2023Spanky2.0The pro wrestling equivalent to a one hit wonder. His catchphrase was over but he was still the 4th most entertaining member of DX. His physique was nonexistent but he didnt make up for it with his wrestling ability. Or promos for that matter. He was a part of some of the worst matches and strorylines in TNAs early years. And he exposed him self as a complete imbecile. As if there was any doubt.

7623.09.2022JamesWackenhut0.0Horrible. He had a hackneyed catch phrase and spent a lot of time on TV during compelling RAW years. He looked like a dumpy out of shape fool and had to wear a teeshirt to hide his lack of muscle. Apparently using marijuana was considered a unique personality quirk? Terrible in ring, with that outmoded and business exposing punch sequence. Longer matches expose him as a sad sack with poor wind. I guess teenage boys liked to yell along to his routine? Because how he isnt rated a 3 or lower is beyond me. Any nostalgia points should be spent on NOA or DX ratings, unless you want to sit through one of his singles matches and tell me thats not the worst combination of look and in-ring performance in 2nd half of 90s. Luckily, he gets jobs at WWE now. I dont wish him ill. I just wish he? d never polluted my television screen

8225.08.2022face painted legend8.0I felt all of his Bullet's kids took something from him. I felt like Brian got the entertainer/personality aspect out of the deal. Cause his whole act was over like rover. Especially, the Road Dogg/New Age Outlaw persona. He would sit and write all of these raps, have a different one every week, and the fans just sang along/ate it up. He was a decent hand in the ring, but when your act is that over...I don't think it matters. I think the character work outweighs that. Loved his act with Jeff Jarrett ( that damn with my baby tonight melody is still over today lol), him and Billy Gunn were magic together, and the stuff he did with Konnan and Truth in TNA I thought was good too. Ialso feel like the key reason i'm giving him a higher rating than most i've seen is because I feel like his shtick would still work today. I think if you put that gimmick on t.v. today (it was as recenty as 2015) that it would work just as good now as it did then. There aren't too many acts from yesteryear that in today's landscape you can say that about.

8428.07.2022sbg20226.0A guy who was always a decent worker in the ring. He wasn't exactly the greatest, but he also wasn't the drizzling shits either. He's not his brother Brad or even his father, but he was able to hold his own. Better talker though.

8805.05.2022Wrestleking7.0Road dogg is a decent wrestler but more than that he is a great talker. He was really over that time with billy gunn and as a part of dx.
8924.04.2022MorbidAxis8.0Not the most talented in ring performer, but I? ll be damned if he wasn? t one of the most charismatic son of a guns I? ve ever seen. I experience true joy whenever I hear his music played and he starts asking us questions. Definitely more fun than Billy.

9401.02.2022OnlyHalfTheEffinShow7.0A good worker and a better talker, one of the standouts of WWF's Attitude Era midcard and tag division.
9510.01.2022Conquistador377.0Started as "The only Armstrong who wasn't in tremendous physical condition", floundered for-freakin-ever because he was also the least ring savvy and naturally gifted of them all. Even his early WWF run as The Roadie was insignificant aside from outside interference changing the Intercontinental title scene. However, while the other Armstrong brothers were vastly superior workers with far better looking bodies; they lacked one crucial element: the charisma of their father. How ironic that "The Road Dogg" was 110% charisma with little ring skill, reminds of the film "Twins" in a way. Road Dogg was one of the Attitude era's shining stars and established himself as one of their iconic characters. His early pairing with Billy Gunn did little to rise the two from obscurity, but once booked with DX they were given the true spotlight and kept crowds hot & engaged. They slowly worked their way into even my heart -->everything they did is very rewatchable<-- and grew from surprisingly entertaining to definitely captivating. The concept was simple: Road Dogg could do the talking for 5 (let alone the pair), he would also play Ricky Morton and get his butt stomped for eternity. Eventually the hot tag would bring in PEAK Billy Gunn who would play clean up crew after the other team wore themselves out, crowds would go ape. Road Dogg also brought early credibility to the hardcore title, very notable chemistry with Al Snow as the two had some "classics" for the subgenre. After these ventures he floundered once again ( i wasn't so much into the teams with X Pac nor K-Kwik) but I still have a soft spot for the guy. I also can't write this without mentioning Royal Rumble 2000, where he would just hold onto the bottom rope near a turnbuckle for minutes on end, HILARIOUS. If you're watching for top tier ring work he ain't anyone's guy - but he's for sure an entertaining sunuvugun. 6.5 rounded up. (note: i've only seen his work up to the end of 2000)

9801.11.2021benny5bellys1.0Just a downright awful worker. He was good at a snappy catch phrase and that is it. He looked like the Steve Buscemi meme in his run with the 3 live kru in TNA. Maybe the worst second generation wrestler of all time in a world that includes Eric Watts and David Flair.
9908.10.2021ecwfan1974.0 
10017.09.2021Pete Gallows4.0Much better singer, than in ring performer. I only give him 4 points because of his mic skills, and because he was a part of NAO and DX, which is memorable as a whole. Just based on his in ring skills, his physique, his moveset, he is not more than a 3 in my book. I always hated the silly routines some wrestlers do all the time - like a punch, a few second dance, another punch, rinse and repeat - it is embarrassing to watch. Poor opponent has to just stand there like a muppet, appearing dizzy, while this talentless dweeb is dancing around. The least physically skilled Armstrong.
