[7.0] "Komander improved drastically throughout 2024, evolving from a guy with a couple of very impressive party tricks into an excellent sympathetic underdog babyface. He has added more variety to his arsenal, he has a better sense of when and why to do the crazy high spots and he almost always delivers a good match against any given opponent. I thought he'd fade away fairly quickly once the novelty of the rope walk dive wore off but, by the end of the year, albeit as a substitute, he did not look out of place as a Continental Classic participant."
[7.0] "More of an acrobat and he's hardly Dean Malenko in the ring but 95% of people who have ever laced up their boots & taped their wrists can't do the mad stuff Komander routinely does. He's a high spot to liven up a midcard, or multiman spotfest. Can have a half decent match, as displayed as the final elimination against Fletcher at ROH Final Battle 2023 and winning it in 2024. Something of an idiot savant in wrestling terms but his rope walks, 450 Splash in particular, are outstanding. Updated to a 7 as he's improved further the past 6 months or so."
[8.0] "He's really grown on me since his great babyface performance in the Survival of the Fittest match that won him the ROH TV championship. He's got great fire, he really knows where to place his highflying dives in the match so they make sense and add to the drama and he keeps adding innovative new stuff to his move set. One of the great luchardors right now."
[7.0] "Writing this after him winning the ROH World TV Title, Kommander is definitely coming up in his own as a solid luchador who's ability to twist & turn so swiftly with ease. I seen him live on AEW against Ricochet not to long ago and I was baffled by how good he is in the ring truly! I also enjoyed seeing him have Alex Abrahantes at he's side idk its good to see him have someone supporting him. Overall, I have high-hopes for Kommander as we enter the new year!"
[8.0] "He has improved significantly in 2024. Way better at in ring psychology and selling, choosing his high flying/flipping spots for maximum impact. Very impressed by what he's done this year and I think he deserves a bigger push in 2025."
[8.0] "Very underrated because of all the flip haters who only watch clips but don't actually watch matches. Komander is way more than a flip merchant he has made a lot of progress now he has bangers against all kinds of opponents and he's one of the best flyers in the world"
[5.0] "He is the lucha guy that you can throw out there on an episode of Rampage, he can do a cool flip or two and then he eats the pin. He is not somebody I am ever going to be excited about when I see his match graphic but nor is he going to make me skip the show because of him. He merely exists and is used exactly how a man of his talents for good or ill should."
[0.0] "I am genuinely baffled how this guy nearly gets a 7/10, his matches are garbage and full of awkwardly set up spots which require both workers cooperation in a ridiculously obvious way, he has 0 psychology and has no clue how to work a match. But I guess he can do a cool spot or two? He is the prime example of the issues in modern wrestling where psychology, selling or how to get a crowd emotionally into your match means nothing and its all about getting your stuff in to get a pop from the crowd. First match I saw him was against jay white where white looked like an idiot letting him set up his obviously choreographed spots and I thought maybe he just got over excited trying to show what he can do. No, all his matches are like that and he needs to study in ring psychology badly"
[3.0] "Normally I'm biased towards fellow Mexicans, but this guy is sadly not very good. Terrible promo even in Spanish, a botch-fest, and although that rope-walk is very impressive the first time he overuses the fuck out of it. Still quite young but not very polished at the moment."
[10.0] "Komander is the definition of humility, coming from Reynosa, where no wrestlers made any impact even in Mexico for at least the last 20 years, fighting his way to the top with just passion and determination beyond humanly. Sure, he still has areas that could improve but the excitement he brings every time he steps foot in the ring is undeniable. Throughout his career, he has invented at least 10 moves that nobody ever did before. Creativity was his strength even before coming to Mexico City and training with Skayde, and now that might as well be his ring name. His latest match with Takeshita really shows his true potential, and I'm anxious for his true breakout ****1/2+ match, with an opponent such as Soma Watanabe or another youngster in the same boat. Nobody could be more biased than me, I've been a fan literally since he was 14 years old. Already back then he was doing crazy ropetricks and uploading them to Facebook, and I made probably about 10 highlight videos on him. He is also one of the nicest people you'll ever meet in person. And nothing about it feels forced or fake. The person below me seems to be the polar opposite of a human being."
[2.0] "Komander is genuinely terrible. He is not your usual spot monkey, he is somehow much worse. This lad can't do nothing other than spin around. His spots take a long-ass time to execute, look fake AF, and he is absolutely useless at anything else. I'm not even sure he knows what a fucking punch is. He can't sell, can't do the slightest bit of psychology, can't talk, act or emote. This Cirque du Soleil-ass luchador is shite, and he hasn't improved at all since he first made his televised debut for AEW."
[6.0] "Komander is a wrestler with an interesting moveset, very acrobatic and fun to watch sometimes, but still not ready for big matches, still makes a lot of mistakes and doesn't have much else to offer besides the flippy stuff."
[6.0] "Sadly, a one trick pony. Once he performs his rope walking dive there is not much to see. He have a very poor psychology in the ring and he's often bouncing on stuff. Comparing his job with other luchadors like Vikingo or Fenix, he falls flat. The good thing is he's young and still a very long way to improve."
[4.0] "Komander is a remarkable athlete with a pretty good-looking mask, and that's about the start and end of his skillset. He has some spectacular high flying offense but he can't really structure a match, or sell, or cut a promo, or strike, or do any real strength spots, or really do anything to elevate his opponent beyond doing the job after getting his shit in. He's better as a tag guy who can fill in the gaps of his partner's offense with his own to keep up the pace but I wouldn't put him as the Face in Peril guy ever. To see Hijo del Vikingo who might genuinely be an entire level of athletic beyond Komander actually have better pacing, selling, charisma, and moveset variety, it really makes you realize that a dude like Komander has a clear ceiling. I think he has a place on the card, but it's probably in a multi-man opener or a pre-show tag."
[1.0] "Kommander is every complaint and criticism about lucha libre "flippy shit" that you can think of rolled into one wrestler. I love that style of wrestling but his stuff is truly egregious. His opponents have to wait around for him to find his footing and get his balance to an absurd degree. It makes the stuff Vikingo and Fenix do all the more remarkable because they are able to do it quickly and in a believable way. I've never been one to cry about believably in wrestling but Kommander just completely breaks it for me. The good news is he's still young so he may have time to evolve and develop a better style or movement. He's surrounded by a lot of great luchadores so hopefully they can get him back on track and help him become worthy of all the hype."
[2.0] "What is this guy all about? He literally just walks the ropes and jumps at his opponents, forcing them to stand around and wait to catch him in some of the most cooperative stuff I've ever seen. It was intriguing to watch once because he's incredibly athletic but once you've seen it, you've seen it and it's noticeable in that the crowd pops for him have dwindled fast. I don't even think he's heard of wrestling basics or psychology, never mind learnt them. An imitator of the millions of spot monkeys that have gone before him and he's not even better than most of them. Other than that, his look is bang average too so from that point of view he's not even a spectacle either."
[7.0] "Kommander has a lot of good moves that can pop a crowd but he lacks in other areas specially psychology. His matches are exciting but you just don't get the emotional involvement. Occasionally has matches that look bad due to botches. Still very young with a lot of potential."
[6.0] "He's okay. He's technically sound, but still showing signs of greenness and need for improvement. More so than other luchadors active in mainstream wrestling, his spots look very choreographed and sloppily set up. Impressive, especially given his young age, but I don't know if his current skill level warrants the hype and booking he's receiving right now."
[5.0] "Yes He is a Phenomenal high Flyer and can do things Not many else can do, I just wish he was better at doing the things he does, After seeing his matches against Jay White and Chris Jericho and his performance in the face of the revolution ladder match I can now say with certainty... AEW has better luchadors I mean seriously they have the Lucha Brothers, Andrade, Bandido, Rush Some of the greatest Wrestlers in the history of Lucha Libre and Mexico in general. If he want's to continue doing the rope things just get more comfortable on them, Like Mascara Dorada (Gran Metalik) he runs the ropes fluently."
[0.0] "This guy tries to be a highlight reel in every match which takes away from any psychology in his matches but also hurts his opponent as it just makes them look silly to take his offence. To add to it, he botches often so it's pointless allowing these spots to be set up. He may have talent but is clueless on how to put a match together."
"Ich glaube, die Kommentatoren könnten andauernd "Wrestling is fake" In jedem zweiten Satz ins Mikrofon brüllen und es würde das Geschäft nicht so sehr exposen wie das "Wrestling" von Kommander. Wirklich das schwachsinnigste, am stärksten choreografierte und dadurch unglaubwürdigste "Wrestling", was ich je gesehen habe. Wer braucht denn schon so unnötige Sachen wie einen Lock Up, Ground and pound oder die absoluten Basics, wenn man doch wie im Cirque du Soleil rumturnen kann? !"
[1.0] "Unfortunately he's just not very good, he's athletic but I have yet to enjoy a single match he does as they are all just clearly choreographed rehearsed spots with clear cooperation to set up and he needs to work on having any psychology in his matches."
[0.0] "Dreadful, his spots are set up and clearly choreographed and there is no psychology in his matches and it takes down his opponent for the benefit of getting his shit in. Wrestlers like him are what is wrong with wrestling today and what makes the old school guys cringe. Never seen such obvious cooperation in a guys matches which is impressive for AEW."
[3.0] "Komander is the epitome of style over substance. He is undeniably athletic and many of the moves he can pull off are athletically and aesthetically impressive, but this is often at the expense of logic or psychology, and he is at times incredibly sloppy. I've come to dread seeing him on screen because I know reason will go out the window."
[7.0] "I'm not the biggest Komander fan and I think that stems from when I first watched him in that Bunkhouse Battle Royal on Ric Flair's Last Match show where he eliminated himself by doing that signature tightrope walk dive of his to the outside if I'm not mistaken. So with that being my first exposure to Komander, he didn't exactly make a great first impression on me. Komander also has the tendency of going to the well one too many times in attempting his signature lucha aerial moves. However I will give credit where it's due. Komander did get a lot of eyes on him when he debuted in AEW earlier this year in that Face Of The Revolution ladder match and rightfully so. He and Vikingo had a dope opener at ROH Supercard Of Honor 2023 for the AAA Mega Championship. I won't take either of those things away from him. With the right opponents and the right set of circumstances, Komander is able to shine bright. So i would say giving him a 7 rating is a firm but fair rating."
[5.0] "Feels like a gimmick instead of an all around wrestler, and that's where he loses me. Orange Cassidy has a gimmick he heavily relies on, but he can also wrestler his ass off and tell a story. I can enjoy Vikingo's stuff despite it requiring a higher degree of set up and cooperation, as there is still some variety there and hard hitting spots. But Komander feels very much like a one trick pony. Using the ropes as an integral part of your offense is fine so long as you have other strengths to offer, and I haven't see that yet."
[7.0] "He's kind of a one trick pony, but that trick is really, really good. I look forward to see if he is able to develop beyond the insane rope walk."
[5.0] "Komander is just the definition of "all style no substance". He can do his schtick really well, but that's all he does. Doesn't have much ring psychology, can't make opponents look good & I highly doubt he could change up his style and manage to thrive, which all the top level talent have managed to do. I can't judge him on promo's, since he's basically a mute, and whilst he doesn't exert charisma, he holds himself up fairly decently, but his physique doesn't do him any favours. Overall, I think he's a good luchador, but has almost zero longevity and will very likely be forgotten about once a new flippy luchador pops up."
[6.0] "Can do some good stuff, but always takes too long and therefore makes his opponents look stupid because theyre waiting around for him to do something"
[10.0] "Es fällt mir einfach schwer zu glauben das er schon 11 Jahre im Ring ist und man von ihm zuvor fast nichts wusste es sein denn man schaut Mexikanisches Wrestling. Der Mann hat so ein Gleichgewicht auf dem Rope das ist der Wahnsinn und er wrestlet unfassbar sauber."
[10.0] "one of, if not the most impressive luchador i've seen in my life, Komander is absolutely insane inside of that ring, the stuff that i've seen him pull off in there are legitimately out of some sort of video game, and with him only being 24, he has all the potential in the world to somehow improve and get even better at what he does"
[10.0] "This guy is the udder definition of a future star. Man can put Ricochet to shame with his high flying abilities, it's like he was built by the very gods of lucha libre for flight. KEEP. YOUR. EYES. ON. HIM. And not just because you'll miss something if you do, he's totally going places."
