[6.0] "Flip is a good athlete and can fit in well as a midcard highflyer. His weak points are his promo and personality, where he fails to stand out. In the ring his matches are normally solid and fits well in match quality over character promotions like ROH and CMLL."
[7.0] "for the longest time i thought flip was just an ok wrestler with a midcard ceiling and not much remaining potential for the industry, but this past year in cmll he's been working hard to get over and made himself into a top name there, which has had an effect of making me a fan of his again"
[6.0] "Fine at CMLL, but feels like he is a little lost in the shuffle, or miscast as a babyface american army vet. Then again, CMLL mostly focuses on the wrestling, so as long as Flip can pop the tourists and fans who haven't seen him so much, he'll be fine."
[4.0] "Just imagine how mediocre you have to be to have any sort of name value and be booked literally no where that people consistently watch. How can he not even get a gig at NWA on the regular? I am surprised as although I don't think he is very good, he is at least at the American average outside of the TV companies. He must be deeply problematic in the locker room."
[3.0] "Als Privatperson ein Idiot aber auch als Wrestler hat er leider nicht viel zu bieten. Im Ring ein absoluter Durchschnittswrestler der nur versucht mit seinem Flipgimmick aufzufallen. Aber gerade im Sektor der Highflyer ist er einfach unterdurchschnittlich. Charisma und micwork sind leider zudem mangelhaft. Ca. 2018 war er mal eine absolute Nachwuchshoffnung, was das angeht ist er deutlich gescheitert."
[4.0] "Privat ein absoluter Depp, der durch die Young Bucks 2018 mal nen kurzen Hype hatte. Ansonsten klassischer Indy Flippy Dude, der mittlerweile wie schon viele seiner Sorte vor ihm mittlerweile in der Versenkung verschwunden ist."
[2.0] "Flip Gordon is athletic and... that's about it really. He flips a lot, like his name suggests, but he doesn't add a whole lot afterwards. He can't do basic wrestling, he doesn't know how to structure a match to tell a story, his charisma is very limited, he is just... the personification of what many people dislike about indy wrestling."
[8.0] "Flip is a very decent wrestler, loving his character and flippy moves, fun to watch and I hope he may still get better in the ring, he's still 30 only so still an age of wrestler who can get better a lot"
[4.0] "Mal abgesehen davon, dass er nicht der aller Hellste ist, gibt mir Gordon eher wenig. Vom Wrestling und seiner Erscheinung einer von vielen Wrestlern, die man im Independent- Bereich zuhauf finden kann."
[9.0] "Love his high-flying and move-set. Got by on his ring work for a while and then when he got hurt he came back in better shape and with an added edge as The Mercenary. I recommend his matches from Global Wars Chicago '17 (vs. Ospreay, w/ Best Friends vs. The Elite) and Supercard Of Honor XII (ladder match w/ Young Bucks vs. SCU)."
[4.0] "Blueprint eines generischen und recht einseitig begabten Indy-Wrestlers. Solides Charisma hat Flip ja und seine durch seine Art zu wrestlen wird er gene mal als Spektakel wahrgenommen. , aber seinen Unterhaltungswert zieht er ausschließlich aus seiner Offensive. Sein In-Ring-Work ist noch sehr einseitig und er funktioniert am besten, wenn er mit linearen Pacing seine Offensive raushaut. Da fehlt noch eine Menge und für mich ist es fraglich, ob er sich das noch aneignen wird. Verbesserungen bei der In-Ring-Psychologie z. B. nehme ich die gesamte Zeit noch nicht wahr. So ist er passabel und für gewisse Jobs zu gebrauchen - mehr nicht."
[2.0] "Flip Gordon is every criticism, whether legitimate or not, levied at indie workers manifested into one wrestler. Seeing his work has made me appreciate those who were bemoaned for spotfests much more."
[2.0] "Average as a sidewalk on a sunny day, just like his charisma. This guy can sure do bare minimum high flying without looking extraordinary or distinctive. It's weird how whenever he's with a better talent, the match is not that much better than when he's against a subpar talent."
[5.0] "While his flying abilities can be impressive at times he adds very little otherwise. He's not particularly charismatic and his matches aren't the most sound psychology wise and his basics aren't there. His best attribute was that he had tremendous ability as a high flyer but injuries severely limited those abilities as of late before he even got injured. A never ending feud with Bully Ray in ROH didn't help him either"
[3.0] "I love me some flippy doods but there's something about Gordon that doesn't sit with me. His high flying is better than it should be given how new he still is to wrestling but I can't exactly invest in anything he does. The most he's ever had me interested in him was with his match against Ospreay in ROH. Hope his addition to BOSJ for 2018 will change my mind on him. I want to like Flip. Edit: He definitely changed my mind alright. Dude is God awful"
[8.0] "Flip Gordon hat sehr viel Potenzial. Auch hat er in seiner Karriere schon wirklich gute Matches geworkt. Ich nenne da nur die beiden großen Matches gegen Ospreay. Außerdem finde ich ihn sehr unterhaltsam mit auch einem guten Mic-Work. Außerdem feiere ich ihn auf dem Youtube-Kanal der Young Bucks "Being the Elite".... Einfach toll.... Charisma 7/10; In-Ring 7/10; Mic 7/10; Persönliche Meinung 9/10 = 30/40 = 7, 5/10 = 8/10 Punkte"
[10.0] "Since my rating went away I guess I have to write a new one for more of my thoughts of Flip so here we go! Flip gordon I think is a really good wrestler who was great in the BOSJ (his best match was fighting Will ospreay 2nd place is him vs ACH) and He got 6 points in the BOSJ which is alright. I see flip one day winning the Ring of honor tv title one day and I hope He becomes more known in wrestling someday."
[7.0] "Wow I feel bad for giving Flip such a medicore rating before. He just looked so depleted of energy and contrived with his high-flying style that I couldn't get into anything he did. Even his few NJPW appearances prior to the BOSJ were pretty boring. But damn, once the 2018 BOSJ started he was certainly out to prove me wrong. He had a great explosive match against ACH on night 1 and finished the tournament with another equally great match against Ospreay, all while his other block matches were good carry jobs by him where he would force a bland wrestler like a Tiger Mask or a Kanemaru to an acceptable or even good quality match. I have no clue what changed about him, but suddenly all his moves were clicking. His acrobatics were totally on point and all his moves had great connection. He still felt a bit 'showy' at times, but it felt a lot more natural because he would play up his arrogance, and it never really felt like he was abandoning all semblance of wrestling logic to perform his stunts. The acrobatics all flowed naturally from him, and were at their best when working alongside such other great high-flying talents as the aforementioned ACH and Ospreay. I'm still not totally sold on the guy, but he's definitely impressed me with this tournament. Hopefully he doesn't fall back into old habits now."
[1.0] "Flip Gordon is maybe the most overrated young wrestler in the business. Well, he does some flips, couple other athletic things and oh, he appears on the BTE. What a great wrestler, such a talent! Well, not really. Most of his most impressive stuff (like this unnecessary flurry of kip ups) makes zero fucking sense in the context of the match. Seriously, I'm no whiny auld wrassling fan, I love high-flying, love great spotfests... but that's a bit too fucking much, considering the fact that at the moment he stops jumping around he seems lost like a little kid. Any quality of his matches is based only on quality of his opponent. I don't fucking care on what YouTube shows he appears, how many stupid theories he believes in the real life, how bad his jokes are - he isn't any good in wrestling to start with."
[10.0] "Flip Gordon have a great potential to be main eventer and with work he can be the next Ricochet or Will Ospreay of Independent Circuit being one of best highflyers"
[9.0] "Flip Gordon is a young wrestler with plenty of potential. Gordon's matches are alright and with a bit of work, I feel he could be the next Ricochet or Will Ospreay. I feel like in the next few years, Flip could be a staple of the independent scene."
[4.0] "As others have said, there's just... something about Flip Gordon that feels unlikable. Maybe it's his look and mannerisms? Maybe it's the way he sells? (I've seen him sell stomps to his back by basically doing push-ups. ) Maybe it's the flat Earth stuff? Maybe just the way he carries himself? Maybe the way in which he interacts with fans on social media? Maybe the name? Maybe it's impossible to pick one thing because it's everything! He's just... off-putting, and an immediate interest drain. His acrobatics are technically impressive, but I can't help but zone out when he's on the screen."
[6.0] "I think satisfactory is the term I'd use to describe Flip Gordon. Not great, not terrible, but satisfactory. Definitely never a guy that you could see progressing too far out of the indies. I think the best he could ever aspire to be is IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion or ROH Champion and even then he would unlikely hold either title for a very long time."
[4.0] "I would love his name much more if he didn't flip at all. That would actually be great but oh well. He is okay. Very athletic but sloppy and not engaging at all. He will learn eventually how but currently he is whatever."
[5.0] "Obviously an impressive athlete, but yet to show a likeability factor or that he can have an engaging singles match-up. The work between the big crazy moves is super thin."
[9.0] "Klasse Mann einer der Aufsteiger 2017. Sehr beweglich und schon ordentlich begehrt. Dieses oder nächsten Jahr sicher mal auch bei PWG. Mir gefällt Flip Gordon sehr. Schade das man nicht weiß wie alt er ist aber er schaut noch sehr jung aus vielleicht zwischen 20-25. Man wird noch sehr viel starkes von ihm sehen."
[9.0] "A very promising young wrestler with a ton of athleticism. Shown flashes of greatness across the New England indie scene as well as some pretty unique offense. A see a lot of upside of "Flip" Gordon, and hope he breaks out into a company like EVOLVE or PWG sooner than later."
