Cara Noir

[8.0] "I saw him this past weekend at Mystery in the UK. He's one of those guys I've always wanted to see and now I am glad I have. He put on a great showing with Dalton Castle. While it's true his in-ring work doesn't quite match up the the glamour of his entrance. I think he deserves a lot of praise for his work in the UK, and I would have liked to have seen him on a bigger stage, at some point."

[6.0] "The first rating I have ever given Cara Noir was actually a ten but definitely times have changed. He has been consistently poor in the ring so I genuinely believe I am being generous by giving him a 6"

[2.0] "The first time you see Cara Noir (read: his entrance) it's incredible. As a whole, his in-ring doesn't really match his character and I suspect his sudden and unexpected push in various UK and European promotions is a result of political allegiances rather than ability or overness. The 16 Carat win was a mistake, and he has continued to push his crap work ever since. Over reliance on gay-panic spots are frankly insulting in this day and age. One of the worst to do it. Thank you and stay out of my sport."

[10.0] "I have never been as awestruck in person as when I first watched Cara Noir at a Progress Show. Everything from the entrance, to the face paint, to his ability in the ring. I was absolutely amazed and have been a fan ever since. Noir has such charisma and doesn't have to say a word, his in-ring style tells all. He has such a unique look and presence, and I've never seen anyone like him. I think he's fantastic and wish him all the best in the years to come!"

[9.0] "An excellent character and an excellent in-ring performer. I saw him carry Effy in a match earlier in the year and can have great matches with almost anyone. Have seen him play both the popular babyface and a vicious heel and he pulls them both off very well."

[5.0] "Cara Noir would be solid hand so long as he is allowed zero input into putting his matches together. He has a silly little entrance which is mostly what you need to get over with much of a modern audience unfortunately."

[8.0] "A rather good wrestler that I cannot take seriously. Why the hell did he think it was a good idea to name himself Black Face? Ignoring his stupid name, his wrestling is very good, particularly his sleeper hold."

[7.0] "One of the more unique wrestlers of the British independent circuit, Cara Noir is a fine wrestler overall. His main attraction is his gimmick, which is possibly the best I've seen in a while, I watched his match with PAC and I was more than impressed. He needs a couple of tweaks to his move set thought, if he does that, he would be amazing."

[8.0] "What a freak this guy is. I love it. The entrance is spectacular and the character work is so over the top but unironic that you can't help but love it. Watching Cara Noir wrestle is like watching a newly discovered species of bird. Watching it do strange but beautiful things and not quite comprehending them but thinking it's dope anyways. He gets extra points for being surprisingly technical in the ring. And also for that insane head bump he took against Ueno."

[8.0] "Cara Noir is a great character on the UK indie scene & he had a presence that makes you immediately take notice. He is also very athletically sound. If he does ever transition to a larger company, I think a lot can be done with his character. His match against PAC was unique & showed what he could do against a well established star. One thing I'm not overly enamored with is how the man sort of separates himself from the wrestling persona; especially on social media. That might be the old school fan in me talking, but part of me is more appreciative when a guy lives the gimmick -- especially in the view of the public. That said, he's someone I definitely have my eye on currently."

[8.0] "Very intriguing black swan dark ballet character, but several tweaks to his moveset would make it even better. Good worker all around and possesses a good amount of panache in and outside the ring."

[9.0] "The first time I saw Cara Noir "live" I was knocked out by his ring entrance, surely one of the best anywhere. However, to my amazement his match with the OJMO was perhaps the best worked match that I have ever seen in-person. I knew of the OJMO's quality, but Cara Noir was the perfect foil for him, and they produced a match that I have only seen equalled in another OJMO match. If you have never seen him action do yourself a favour and watch him live."

[6.0] "An absolutely fine wrestler for the indie circuit, nothing to complain about him in that role. The problem is his rise to the top of the European wrestling scene seems to be chiefly tied to the paucity of big name and charismatic workers right now due to the continuous talent raids by AEW and especially WWE cascading through the system: as good as he is Tom Dawkins would have never got so high on the totem pole if those above him hadn't been taken out of circulation. Good indie wrestler, but somebody I wouldn't exactly call a big time player."

[10.0] "Cara Noir is one of the stand out performers on the UK indy scene right now. Every match i have seen with him in have been fantastic. His character work is also great"

[8.0] "Brilliant gimmick, every match I've seen he seems to get better in the ring. Huge potential for him. If he carries on improving the way he has over the past couple of years in a few years he could be one of the biggest stars in the world."

[8.0] "Cara Noir is a wrestler with a lot of potential, he has a very interesting gimmick, and manages to perform very well both in the ring and outside, he also managed to make several very good matchs, and if he continues to evolve, he can become an incredible wrestler."

[9.0] "Just discovered him a week ago through RIPTIDE. Literally made this account to show my support. He's got great execution and charisma, and his bumps and sells are quick and visceral. I don't think it'll be too much longer before he gets a contract, I'm just praying it's not Vince because we all know exactly what he would do with the gimmick. 9 for now, but I really feel like that will rise given time"
