Mike Derudder

[8.0] "The man is a walking Create-A-Wrestler from the moves to the look. Needs more reps and polish but he oozes intensity and is freakishly athletic. Has the potential to be one of the most exciting wresters in the world."

[9.0] "He is the future of this business. His mix of brute force and high flying make him a name to watch in the future."

[7.0] "Watched a Mike D match for the first time with his 4/9 appearance in AJPW's Champion Carnaval. I was impressed a man of his build could fly around the ring the way he does. Hopefully some companies in Japan/America give him more appearances. My rating can go higher the more I see of him."

[9.0] "One of the best, if not the best, wrestler from Belgium. Mike has everything to succeed! I can see he is travelling the world and now working in Japan. I can see him being signed by a big company soon and reaching the top of the wrestling industry."

[9.0] "[2020 - 3pts] I've seen him once and I didn't think he was terrible. Very limited in the ring but I've seen a lot worse. [2024 - revised] Mike D is one of the biggest stars in Euro indies currently. He has an intense style and buckets of charisma."

[8.0] "A very promising wrestler with a very high upside. It's a shame that the US indies just are not financially powerful enough to get a worker like Mike D over on a regular basis, because I think he'd get over huge on the US indies. He's the kind of guy at the moment that if ended up on an episode of AEW and given 10 minutes to do all his spots, he'd get over and people would be talking about him as a huge rising star."

[8.0] "With him already being the GWF champion and rising up the ranks in WXW, I can see Mike D becoming a major star on the European circuit in 2024. With his physique and entertaining style, I wouldn't be surprised to see him signing with one of the major companies within a few years. For me one of the most fun to watch wrestlers in Europe."

[4.0] "always the same. Mike is just great but when you see it 2/3 times it's always the same thing. please Mike renew yourself. he has everything to succeed but unfortunately he always does the same content in the ring, same moves, same counters, same spots..."

[4.0] "The guy is cool, with good physique but, it's often the same spot, same move, ... but it's still very nice to watch."

[9.0] "In my opinion, Mike D is the best young talent in Belgium, hope he will be signed in WWE soon. It would be deserved."

"Mike D hat eine Steile Entwicklung im letzten Jahr hingelegt. Wenn man sich seinen ersten Kampf in der German Wrestling Federation ansieht, wo er noch ein sehr limitiertes Moveset hatte und auch die In-Ring Koordination noch nicht so richtig geklappt hat, und seinen gestrigen Auftritt bei GWF Chaos City, dann sind da WELTEN zwischen der Leistung. Ich erwarte noch Großes von dem jungen Belgier."
