[9.0] "Even if I didn't live in the Burgh I would still be high on Lee Moriarty. This kid can fucking go! His technical chops are obviously top-notch but what really surprises me when I watch him is how confidently he carries himself in the ring. Just 30 years old and he moves with some main event swagger. I don't know how high the ceiling is for him but damn will I have a good time watching to find out!"
[6.0] "I just don't see what everyone else is seeing in Lee Moriarty. He's technically proficient without being great, and his whole style is dull. He has a mediocre look, and minimal charisma. I think he's got room to grow, and there's definitely a place for him in AEW/RoH, but they need to get him out of the Pure Rules doldrums, and have him work more closely with STP to give him some more character."
[10.0] "This guy is extremely talented in the ring, a technical master. He will undoubtedly be one of the next stars to emerge in AEW, and I really hope he manages to make it to the Main Event. I would love to see him in the Death Riders alongside Jon Moxley too."
[10.0] "After a few years of paying close attention to his growth, it's hard to deny Moriarty isn't one of the names that is simply waiting for a biggest spotlight. His time as ROH Pure Rules Champion has seen him hone his technical wrestling skills to a fantastic degree, while building up his ability to present himself like a star. The centrepiece of Shane Taylor Promotions is just getting started, and the next ten years could see him take over. Sky is the limit for this man."
[10.0] "TAIGASTYLE! Lee is the coolest guy to be around, and he just so happens to be one of the most versatile wrestlers in the business. His ability to mix any kind of wrestling together and create a technical masterpiece at will is unmatched."
[6.0] "He's certainly very ring competent and no one will ever take that away from him (hence the rating in what is otherwise a very critically worded review for a 6), but his charisma & character work lacks a lot. There's never any patented sense of urgency or danger to a Lee Moriarty match, he just kind of blends into the dull fabric of reality itself, & that's not something you want from a professional wrestler. With 9 years of experience, there's no reason that I should not be stoked to see him every time he's on. He fits well enough into his niche as a worker for ROH, but I feel like a cogent argument could be made that it is somebody like Lee Moriarty that could benefit from being involved in the Don Callis Family, & certainly not these people with mountains of charisma instead, like Alexander, Okada, Hechicero, or Takeshita. Kind of puzzled he's not still working under "Genkai" or "Lee Mitchell;" Lee Mo Ree Are Reh Tee? Come, now..."
[9.0] "The fact that this man doesn't wrestle as often is a waste. This dude should be defending his ROH Pure Belt in NJPW even. A technical master, adjusts to the opponent very well, The future is bright."
[10.0] "lee moriarty is a MASTER in the ring, a GOAT of technical wrestling. everything he does is precise and so incredibly creative. his run with the pure title has been spectacular, matches with nigel, robbie eagles, and blue panther coming up, this is delicious fr. once he eventually drops the pure title, i HOPE aew sees what they have and starts using him on aew tv."
[10.0] "Lee Moriarty is one of those guys you can't help but respect when you watch him work. In a promotion like ROH, where the bar for technical wrestling is already sky-high, Lee has carved out his own space as one of the purest talents in the game. The man has a blend of creativity and precision that's rare--he doesn't just wrestle; he paints a masterpiece in that ring."
[8.0] "One of the last bastions of what Ring Of Honor represents, a fantastic technical wrestler who carries himself with great confidence and rightfully so. His current Pure Championship run and especially recent match with Nigel McGuinness really show the level Lee is at and he's only going to improve from here, someone who should be a main feature on AEW in the future alongside Shane Taylor Promotions as a whole."
[9.0] "TAIGA STYLE! Lee Moriarty is cementing his name in the mountain of top-tier Technician! He brings a different aura surrounding him that confident swagger whilst going insane in the ring! Some of my favorite matches involve him especially against other Technician and he's able to work his magic; his current run with the Pure Championship perfectly encapsulates how far he can grow as a wrestler and given the right direction he can be a solid pillar for AEW or other major wrestling promotion in the future!"
[8.0] "Lee is a fantastic technical wrestler with an incredible look, in-ring style and fits perfectly with Pure Rules. He has major potential as a big future star in AEW and I would love to see him win the TNT or International Championships. I'd also love to see him compete for the AEW World Championship as some point, although I don't know if he's gonna win it, I would love to potentially see that though. Overall an amazing talent."
[8.0] "Has grown on me a ton in the last few months; dude has been killing it on the indies, and it's only a matter of time before he breaks out officially in AEW. If the early matches against Punk, Copeland and Bryan are any indication, the company feels the same way. Lee is gonna be great!"
[7.0] "Meet him trough Enjoy Wrestling, his excellent match against Darius Lockhart, and have been a fan since then. He is an great technical wrestler and will keep growing into an more complete performer over time. He is only lacking in mic skills at this point but he is pretty young so he will get better at as time goes on. Hopefully he gets an push on ROH or AEW"
[7.0] "Lee is a talented technical wrestler. His mic skills and charisma are okay but need developing for the top tier promotions. Enjoyable in the masked wrestler that showed his abilities."
[5.0] "Lee Moriarty is pretty boring. His In-Ring is okay but he has a big lack of charisma. It is perhaps his booking which is not at its best but right now I can't put more than 5."
[6.0] "Lee is a good worker who wrestles a pretty neat technical style. He hasn't been booked that strong in AEW, but he also hasn't shown truly undeniable talent or anything like that. I think he does well when paired with people who work his style, like Garcia, but hasn't shown a ton so far in AEW."
[7.0] "I was first introduced to Lee Moriarty in MLW, and I thought, "Wow, he's got some talent. Bauer's holding him back. " When he had that match with Joey Janela on Dark, he got his moment, and was signed quickly. For a while, he didn't do anything, until Lee was put in the Firm, which turned out to be a dud of a stable. Still, Lee has a lot of potential technically, with some good high flying moves. Once this guy improves on his promos, he will be champ in AEW."
[10.0] "This guy has amazing potential and has papers to become really sucessful atleast mid-carder in wrestling, guy has charisma, ring skill, let's give him a chance on microphone and if he will be atleast alright on mic, I would love to see him with any mid-card title run"
[8.0] "In the ring, he feels like the heir apparent to Bryan Danielson. He can move between masterful technical skill and strikes with the best of them, something that the larger wrestling fanbase got a taste of when he wrestled Bryan himself on AEW Dynamite last year. He's like 27 or 28 years old and I would argue that his in-ring work is already up there with the best that North American professional wrestling has to offer. His issue lies in his character work. Specifically, the lack of depth his character currently possesses. This ultimately comes down to the fact that he's yet to be pushed by a major wrestling promotion, and as such, has not yet been able to flesh out a character. Remember, it took Danielson many years to become the guy we know him to be today, so I'm not at all concerned about Lee's future in that regard. He's already an awesome wrestler, and once the character does come along, it'll be hard to argue against him as one of the best in the world. P.S.: put him in the Blackpool Combat Club!"
[6.0] "Holy hell this guy has a high rating here. Lee Moriarty is a very solid worker but nothing all that special in my eyes. He proved his grappling technique and how incredibly slick his offense is in his match with Punk, but that's been his only match where I saw even a slight glimmer of anything particularly special. His main issue, which a lot of AEW's roster has, is his lack of character. Sure, he has physical charisma, but his mic work is very average and he lacks personality. He is still young of course, but MJF is younger than him and is phenomenal with character work. Still, he is a very good worker, he just needs to improve in basically every other aspect."
[9.0] "Lee Moriarty is a guy I first saw in the 2019 Young Lions Cup, and though he lost in the first match he made a strong impression on me and I always remembered him. Last year he started to become an indie name and towards the end of the year was signed to AEW, which I was pleased to see. I've only seen him a handful of times so far but I've always been impressed to date."
[8.0] "So so impressed with his in ring work and I absolutely adore his look, entrance and whole presentation. One of my favourite wrestlers in the world and I am so excited to see him grow and improve."
[8.0] "Highly skilled indy wrestler. Had put on some really great matches. I have enjoyed his work in GCW. AEW should have picked him up instead of the far less interesting, Lee Johnson. He had a bright future ahead of him."
