Billy Jack Haynes

[5.0] "As a young fan, he made me feel uncomfortable. As an adult - even more so! Gave off vibes that he was legitimately terrifying in real life. His promos would start normal enough but he would get exponentially louder & more aggressive with every passing word. Far too intense when it wasn't necessary to be intense whatsoever. Had one hell of a look, had brief moments of goodness - but I swear most of his headlocks were shoots and it made for some awkward moments; yknow, let go already and go to work, why are you holding the other wrestler hostage? Something about him though, there is an aura. I really liked Black Blood & I know why, it's my appreciation for horror leaking into my love for 'rasslin. Best opponent: Hercules Hernandez. Hard to rate, a 5 is what he gets for confusing me as a fan, he is also indeed legitimately insane. Steer clear of Billy Jerk Haynes."

[7.0] "Yeah he really should've been a lot bigger in the WWF than what he was given. His size and muscularity definitely caught the eyes of many people and promoters. But in the WWF he was just another body guy. I did enjoy his matches with Hercules though."

[4.0] "He looked like he should have been something bigger in the WWF but he only got that one big PPV spot at Mania 3 and I hear he got in trouble for blading. Post Mania 3, he was stuck on the house show circuit doing tag matches and teaming with Ken Patera, doing jobs to Demolition and the like."

[6.0] "Probably not a very popular opinion, but I really like Haynes. He did not pretend to be a main eventer, but he was a very strong mid-carder with a good physique and not bad skills in the ring. I learned about him from his work in Portland and later in WWF, where he had several notable matches, for example with Hercules Hernandez, and WCW, where he was not particularly remembered. I think he was just a decent worker, nothing more, but he coped well with his role."

[1.0] "Really dull wrestler with a lame gimmick and a seeming inability to do anything interesting or impressive with his physical strength."

[4.0] "In meinen Augen gar nicht so uncharismatisches Powerhouse-Typ, der im Ring eigentlich zeitgemäss brawlen konnte, ohne jedoch für irgendwelche höhere technische Qualitäten prädestiniert gewesen zu sein. Sein Look hatte sicherlich was zu bieten, was sich jedoch aufhob, wenn man ihm ein Mikro in die Hand gab - das war dann nämlich deutlich unter Niveau. Sein Mainstream-Karrierehighlight ist das Undercard-Match bei Wrestlemania III gegen Hercules Hernandez, welches einen akzeptablen Juicy-Brawl darstellt. Nach der Karriere dann offensichtlich mit einigen weniger glücklichen Entscheidungen."

[8.0] "Sagt mal seid ihr alle Blind so schlechte Bewertungen der war Pures Gold im Ring. Nicht Umsonst War der Bei Wrestlemania III dabei. Ok Promos und am Mic war er nicht gut aber man im Ring war er ein Gott."

[6.0] "Was solid, not spectacular and promos lacked. Great run in Florida and Portland, and mid card in WWF."

[5.0] "Im Ring kein Totalversager, eher in seinem Stil sogar leicht über dem Durchschnitt, konnte ausreichend gut Matches worken vor allem mit den richtigen Gegnern zu seinem härteren, unspektakulären Brawling-Stil. Mic-technisch dann allerdings nichts zu holen, Promos sind absolut nix für ihn, was dann auch keine Chance auf ne bessere Bewertung zulässt"

[6.0] "I find him barely noticeable. He was a fine performer but never left either a positive or negative impression on me."

[0.0] "Also ich fand ihn stinklangweilig ob nun im Ring oder noch schlimmer wenn er ein mic in die Hand nehmen mußte. Hat in der wwe gott sei dank nix erreicht obwohl ich mich immer noch frage warum er bei wrestlemania war. Hatte allgemein bei wwe nix zu suchen."

[6.0] "Big yoked up dude with great look. Unfortunately, was not a great promo and average at best in the ring."

[7.0] "Was all set to be a huge star with a very over gimmick... but personal demons destroyed his career. Became undependable to build a program around. Ive heard some shoot interviews from haynes and its unfortunate how messed up his life was... but then he blames the wwe for alot of his problems too. Other wrestlers who have talked about haynes in their shoots give me the impression he wasnt considered one of the boys. Still, as far as raw charisma and believable credibility in the ring go, this guy had enough that he could have been an alltime great."

[4.0] "He fit in well in Portland because his muscular build and brawling style really appealed to that fanbase, but outside of there, he was lost. Simply not a good enough worker or personality to stand out."

[3.0] "Typischer 80iger Jahre Powerhouse, aber im Gegensatz zu beispielsweise einem Ken Patera konnte er um einiges weniger. Am Mikro grausig und auch ohne Charisma ausgestattet blieb er meiner Meinung nach immer zurecht in der Midcard."

[8.0] "THE Billy Jack Haynes.. ! Schon fast Kult-Status.. bei mir jedenfalls! :)"

[2.0] "Schlechtes Gimmick, wenige Moves, 80er Jahre Worker. Wenn man bedenkt das Shawn Michaels mal für den gejobbt hat. Grausig"

[2.0] "Typischer Nichtskönner aus den 80er Jahren. Miserables Gimmick gepaart mit wrestlerischem Unvermögen waren Grundlage für einen WWF Vertrag damals... und heute..."
