"It honestly baffles me how there is anyone who can unironically rate this creep anything more than a 0, nevermind the one random (assumingly similar) creep who gave him a 10 and starting his rating comment off with "I know he was a pedophile..." and continues to justify why that is not important apparently. LMAO. SAD BUT WHAT ELSE CAN ONE SAY ? Anyway fuck Buck Zumhofe. One of the biggest degenerate, discusting, pedophiles the world has ever seen, nevermind the Wrestling business. Got arrested on 4 different occasions 3 of which was for sexual crimes, starting with sexual misconduct with a minor, followed by sexual conduct with a minor, then following that with a domestic abuse sentence, and ultimately going out in the biggest way a pedophile like this excuse of air can by landing 4 consecutive 25 year prison sentences for sexually abusing his very own daughter for a period of 12 years starting in 1999 when she was 15 years old and lasting all the way to 2011, completely ruining the life of his very own offspring by abusing her for just about half of her life at the time (27 years old and abused for 12 years of that). Wow. What a piece of shit right? Another note not as important to the disgusting legacy of this piece of shit, but a observation that I find very telling of what kind of a disgusting creep this piece of shit is , after being sentenced for the prior mentioned 4 25 year sentences instead of taking accountability and taking it as a man and allowing justice to be served, this idiot had the addacity to attempt fleeing from court to avoid justice. He couldnt even allow his very own daughter, who he sexually abused for 12 years, that one moment of justice. He is that much of a piece of shit. He doesnt deserve to be considered a human being. A LITERAL WASTE OF OXYGEN. 0/10. PLEASE SOMEONE IN PRISON. I IMPOLORE YOU TO GET JUSTICE AGAINST THIS POS. HE DOESNT DESERVE TO LIVE IN PEACE."

[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!"

[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."

[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"

[0.0] "Almost completely forgettable wrestler from AWA history if it wasn't for the fact he was a massive pedophile. How in the flying fuck did he get a match with Mitsuharu fuckin' Misawa? Despicable."
DanTalksRasslin wrote on 10.12.2023:
[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."

[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?"

[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."

[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."

"Can JEK 1991 get banned from this website? I mean, it's obvious this dude is a fan of guys like him and Grizzly Smith. Zumhofe wasn't a great wrestler anyways, but that's beside the point. Anyways, Fuck Buck Zumhofe. Enough said."

[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."
