[7.0] "Sozio or Niles Young is massive underrated. I understand the many people don't like him but is in ring work was very decent and some bangers during his career, mostly in CZW."

[2.0] "His matches generally range from shit to fucking shit. A guy whose world title reign set CZW back about 5 years. One of the most irritating presences on old CZW shows as well. Just a mediocre wrestler with an unappealing personality. Wouldn't work as the champion of your local VFW or flea market indy, don't know how he deserved a world title run in a prominent company. He was adequate as a gimmicky knight character in CHIKARA, but that's about it"

[1.0] "Unwatchable. No look, Trent Acid weak photocopy. Italian stereo type done better by Nunzio and the rest of the FBI aka real workers. Giving him the CZW title was a low point of the comapny"

[8.0] "Over a decade into his career, Niles cultivated the Sozio character, which could have been a one-note deal, but he also fine-tuned his skills beyond what most had expected from him. The sacrifices he's made are noticeable, and few people would have guessed he'd be so well-rounded today, a compatible opponent for workers of varying styles."

[4.0] "He's a decent worker with a decent gimmick that allowed to him be CZW World Champion (not the best decision... )"
