[6.0] "No one on here is honestly reviewing him, they're giving him a bump because of who his descendants were, he's a corny old wrestler who was average in every aspect of the game, hate all you want but there's nothing here other than DNA that stands the test of time."

[9.0] "Peter Maivia was a legend. The grandfather of the Rock. With a very strong physique he could perform well and had great moves. A legend in Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia. He excelled out in many promotions winning many titles. In WWWF he was great but did not get a big push. He was on some maine vnet card with WWWF champion Superstar Billy Graham. I liked the attire he had in the ring and was grat at interviews. His heel turn was great and feuded with Bob Backlund. Sad he died so young. He got the Rock into wrestling. I am happy that he is in the WWE Hall of Fame."
