| 1 | 04.08.2025 | MateuszExtreme | 0.0 | Buck Zumhofe was once visible on the wrestling scene, but what followed completely obliterated whatever minimal legacy he may have had. He was convicted of repeated sexual abuse of his own daughter, a crime that warranted over 25 years in prison. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this--ever. His actions are among the most reprehensible imaginable and represent the deepest betrayal of trust and human decency. In wrestling or any other context, individuals who commit such horrendous acts should be removed entirely--not only from the narrative, but from public memory as heroes or entertainers. Talent, if it ever existed, vanished beneath the weight of monstrous behavior. He preyed on a child within his own family; that should mark the absolute end of any original goodwill or fan sympathy. Whatever he did in a ring or local show is entirely eclipsed by the suffering he caused and the condemnation he deserves. Anyone who defends or remembers him fondly disregards the well-being of countless survivors. Wrestling must stand firm: we do not honor or excuse predators. For these reasons, Buck Zumhofe receives a firm 0/10--no apologies, no exceptions, no second chances. |

| 3 | 20.07.2025 | CDProsPro | 0.0 | Then now forever, Fuck Buck Zumhofe and all his weirdo friends. Skills was never junior heavyweight levels and apparently does not deserve air in his lungs. This guy uses his lungs to groan and shout out moves constantly. Never any good. |
| 4 | 04.07.2025 | MattHall | 0.0 | (Re-edited) This guy literally has nothing to offer to the wrestling business. He couldn't talk, he had a bad physique and looked ugly as fuck, couldn't wrestle, and he was too small for his era. He literally is a nothing-burger. Not even his gimmick could save him. Buck won the AWA light heavyweight title a few times, but that belt meant nothing and was used to bury anyone that won, (not that anyone actually got buried, it just that all its champions were awful wrestlers). This guy somehow manages to have a long wrestling career even though he didn't do jackshit for anything. The only thing this guy is really known for that is somewhat an accomplishment is when he wrestled Triple H in HHH's first TV match back in Spring of 1995. And too top this off, this guy is a pedophile and molested his own daughter and other underage children for many years. This also shows that guys like Verne Gagne and Vince McMahon have no integrity. They keep rehiring this guy for many years, even after Buck got convicted in 1986/1989. Yet he still got employment by the McMahons and Gagnes. And REMEMBER BOTH VINCE AND VERNE ARE FATHERS! |

| 6 | 04.12.2024 | ItsAllAWorkAnyway | 5.0 | This rating does not take his criminal actions into account. "Rock N Roll" Buck Zumhofe was smaller than most, but he had the mannerisms to make him relatively entertaining on TV and had a gimmick that stood out for the AWA. As such, he spent the early to mid-80's reigning as their World Light Heavyweight Championship. Yet as it seemed like his career was taking off, he was convicted and incarcerated for child abuse. Inexplicably, not only did AWA make him a champion again after this, but he also managed to get occasional bookings as an enhancement talent for the WWE. He attempted to resurface to relevance as the indie wrestling movement was catching steam, but was later arrested, tried, and convicted of being a serial child abuser - The length of his sentence is effectively a life sentence and has ended his career. |
| 7 | 07.10.2024 | Silver Shadow | 4.0 | When it comes too scummy people in wrestling, Buck Zumhofe is on top of the list. Although he is not as bad as the ratings suggest. However he was not great in the ring, or on the mic. He's maybe adequate in the ring at best, and his promos are terrible. His match with Tiger Mask was pathetic. His match against Triple H in 1995 was slow and boring. He also had a career in the AWA, but it was unmemorable and lasted too long. |
| 8 | 13.07.2024 | crs285 | 0.0 | Seen some of his AWA work and its unremarkable. In fact the only thing that makes him stand out is his multiple convictions for sexual misconduct with a minor. Why promoters still booked him is a tarnish on all their legacys |

| 13 | 10.12.2023 | DanTalksRasslin | 2.0 | Zumhofe had a degree of success in the AWA, with a few runs as Light Heavyweight Champion to his credit, he otherwise just didn't have the skill, personality or size to make it past the jobber level during his time. Though I do rate solely on in-ring careers, more recent revelations about his life outside the ring certainly don't improve his legacy, such as it was. |

| 16 | 17.09.2023 | KGBennett | 0.0 | Buck Zumhofe...where to begin? Not only was his gimmick laughably outdated by even the 1980's...but he was just a shit wrestler and an even worse talker. He's arguably most famous for swinging a match with Tiger Mask of all fuckin people in the dying days of the AWA or his uneventful run as a job guy in the WWF. Looking at Zumhofe as a wrestler, he's at best...below average. As a person? Well... that's what bumps it from being a 1-2/10 to a stone cold ZERO. I don't get how you can defend this guy as a wrestler but I REALLY don't get the pedo defenders...like what the hell? |

| 19 | 29.04.2023 | CMFunk007 | 3.0 | This guy is a piece of shit human being and wasn't a good wrestler despite being shoved down our throats for years in the AWA. HIs character was somewhat entertaining, but I never saw him have a good match and it was kharma coming to him when he got jobbed out in the WWF and then in later years when they put him in jail for the rest of his life. |
| 20 | 15.12.2022 | WrestlingStuff | 0.0 | No comment from here. The Rock and Roll gimmick on paper was cool, but someone like the Honky Tonk Man actually made it work. Zumhofe just made it look creepy along with his looks, and the rest of his criminal records speaks for itselves. Round and round zero. |

| 26 | 05.08.2021 | Juggalohab | 0.0 | Would have awarded bonus points for AWA, MN born, and a (shit) match with Tiger Mask at I think SuperClash or something? But yeah, fuck him. I saw one of his very last matches in Rock 'n Roll Wrestling. A local indy promotion he was running in Northern Minnesota. Was just 3 guys, 2 girls, and the incestuous pedophile, but was really good work for beginners. Now all those kids are long gone from the business, as are their dreams of wrestling glory. Probly got molested. Probly had to pay the school extra for the molestation. I'd say he deserves Nick Gage as a cellmate, but Kiddie Bucker doesn't deserve the rub. Oh yeah, and he calls his spots louder than John Cena. Minus Infinity Stars. |

| 33 | 15.07.2019 | ParisTheSpider | 0.0 | Als Wrestler müsste man ihm wahrscheinlich eine Bewertung von 2/10 geben, größtenteils in der WWE als Jobber eingesetzt.
