[8.0] "Krule is a talented big man on the indies. His size and gimmick makes him stand out. He is very good in a death match but also has great regular matches. Not a talker but with his gimmick he doesn't need to be."
[7.0] "Krule is one of the gimmicks that stick out in Today's world of Sports.He has the looks, The ITfactor and can go in the ring.I personally don't wanna see him just doing death matches"
[8.0] "Krule is a curious case in deathmatch wrestling. His size and stature would lead one to believe that he is one of those wrestlers who relies only on brute strength, but he has proven himself to be capable of remarkable subtlety. Because few of his opponents come close to matching his size, he tends to restrain himself, taking care not to overshadow them or make them appear incapable, while maintaining his own sense of dominance and skill. I believe the best match to watch to see this subtle restraint in action is his 2022 IWTV Southeast First Uncharted Territory deathmatch against Slade. The difference in size between the two men is immediately obvious and you would think Krule would easily take Slade out, but Krule allows Slade's raw aggression and endurance to shine. What's also notable is Krule's pain tolerance. With the mask, it is harder to tell if he is in pain, but his ability to shrug off barbed wire, glass, and light tubes without so much as a flinch tells you that he has mastered maintaining his eerily calm facade under duress. Given his imposing presence, stoic discipline, and his nuanced handling of size disparities, an 8 feels fitting for him."
[9.0] "Krule is like if Kane was a lot more violent and scary and honestly more fun to watch. Krule>Kane any day. Krule's hardcore matches with Colby Corino in DPW especially are really awesome. Esp. Krule Combat."
[8.0] "If early Kane was basically just Jason Voorhees--a disfigured, emotionally traumatized, bitter, vengeful monster--then Krule is Michael Myers: Not turned evil from childhood trauma but *born* evil, hurting people just because he derives some strange, sick pleasure from it. That's awesome. His character work, even while wearing a mask that covers his entire face except his eyes, is truly terrifying and awesome. Much like Kane and Abyss and the Undertaker, the man just "gets" how to be this character. The fact that he works deathmatches makes it even better, because his intimidating no-selling of stuff like gusset plates and barbed wire always gets a pop out of me, just like Jason or Michael no-selling an ax through the brain or whatever. It fucking rules. Is he a great wrestler? Fuck no. Is he a great performer? Fuck yes. Aura, presence, ambience, vibes, call it what you want. We need more guys like Krule. Not that type of character necessarily (in fact having more than one or two guys like Krule would dilute the whole thing), but people who understand character work and how to stand out among the dozens of interchangeable, good-yet-unremarkable wrestlers that make up a good part of the larger indie feds."
[9.0] "My favorite wrestlers in the Indies, the only real monster heel in the world of wrestling today. He needs to get more opportunities in other companies"
"[7.0] He fought in at the first independent show I ever attended (Two Tribes in Worcester, MA), and I came in knowing nothing about him. I showed up for Dijak but found some elite wrestlers to go on YouTube deep dives on. When Krule entered, I immediately understood his aura. When the bell rung, I understood why he was the IWTV Champion, and having watched him vs Jacob Fatu, I wonder why he is not at least making regular apperances on a more major promotion (NXT, ROH, or TNA, potentially even NOAH). I saw somewhere that he had other options but decided to stay with MLW. Personally, I would love for him to bring the hardcore style to NXT. Outside of Oba Femi, he brings something that no one else is close to. The narrative potential of getting NXT's version of Kane (more than Karrion Kross was). He is older than most in NXT, but I think he would be amazing there."
[8.0] "This guy is awesome. He has a cool look, Awesome gimmick and is willing to do anything to entertain. He may not be the best wrestler but if you give him a good opponent and a No DQ stipulation, he can entertain like not many other guys"
[10.0] "I will not lie. He is one of my favorite wrestlers right now. He knows his gimmick. He knows what he can and can't do. He's good in the ring. And he's intimidating for a heel. His feud with Jacob Fatu in MLW was amazing."
[7.0] "One of my favorite monsters right now, almost entirely because of the gimmick. This is an alligator in vaguely human form, and he makes for an instantly captivating heel. The matches I have seen of his have never delivered a classic (yet) and I'm not the biggest fan of the match types he mostly finds himself in (no DQ walk and brawls) but I still find myself looking forward to seeing him anyways. If that isn't star power--the fact I want to see his matches despite not being a fan of the sort of stuff that is his wheelhouse--I don't know what is."
[9.0] "Krule absolutely knows what his character/persona is, which makes for very intelligent storytelling within the confines of a match or a feud (See, eg, his matches against Colby Corino in DPW). He is the archetype of the big man monster. It's a shame that independents, for the most part, don't allow for touring managers, because a mouthpiece would really add to what Krule presents. I think the Rev. Dan Wilson would be absolutely phenomenal in such a role. It's also surprising that the NWA hasn't paired Krule up with Jim Mitchell. The one noticeable drawback in the Krule presentation is the lack of athleticism he shows. I know WWE insists that big men/monsters cannot show any athleticism but if Krule, skill set wise, resembled Darkko or Mike Awesome, he would instantly be among the world's elite wrestlers based on his tremendous match psychology."
[7.0] "when he is Logan Creed he isnt that good for me *kinda boring) but when he joined Contra Unit and became a Mad Krugger he is so interesting to watch"
[5.0] "He was more interesting as Logan Creed and seemed to be doing stuff aligning himself with Mance Warner. Mance left and he seemed to be hunting Contra. Then that was mysteriously dropped and he returned as Mads Krugger as part of Contra. And in typical MLW "lying to the fans" fashion, they tried to deny he was Logan Creed since the fans saw through it almost immediately. Suffice to say, Mads is nowhere near as interesting as they're trying to make him."
[6.0] "While it seems that he lacks experience, however, Mads is quite good as a frightening monstrous heel. He was an organic addition to Contra and it will be interesting to see if he can achieve success in solo. So far, 6 points out of 10 for me."
