I'd rank him about a 2.5 right now, although I need to see more to get a better opinion. He looked a lot better in his short squash against Doring than he did in his longer squash with Guido I'd say. Moveset looks decent with the great Rydeen Bomb and Bicycle Kick, and decent Shellshock-type move. He's played a decent heel so far, but it's not hard to get heat when you're playing the role he is...

I ranked him as a two, but that's only on the first impression. I saw him wrestle Doring last week, but missed his match against Little Guido this week. He seems like he's a decent enough worker, he just didn't do anything really noteworthy.

His match with Guido actually made him look a lot worse. He used like 4 bodyslams in a row.
I gave him a 2. More like a 2.25 stars. He's bland and pretty average. As far as potential I think he's shown to have little so far.

Somewhere between one and two. He's not a horrible wrestlers, but I can't find anything special about him. If he had some sort of gimmick that he could get into, or may be he's not that bad on the stick; if I had any idea about that stuff, I'd probably bump him up some.

I honestly can't vote on him because I need to see more......but I've been generally unimpressed with him thus far.

After having seen Knox wrestle live... yes, he does suck. Horribly.
But then he went and put on a good performance on ECW last night. He's a tricky bastard.

He intrigues me, because I can't tell if he is horrible, or good at playing this character. His character (if thats what it is) has some nice subtleties to it. He is obviously insecure with the whole Kelly issue, but he kind of comes off like a pussy trying to tough.
Like I said, it might just be him, and he sucks like that. I don't know. He and Test definitely don't bother me.

I've never had a problem with Test. I was a mark for him back during my mark days (c'mon, who didn't cheer when he beat Shane at Summerslam 99) and I think he's criminally underrated. He's a case where people rag on him for "not being able to get over" when anytime he has gotten over, his push gets taken away for some reason. People also rag on him for not being talented in the ring, but he really is quite capable. He isn't a technical pro or anything, but he brings a good level of intensity and he performs his power moves well.
Knox just finally clicked with me last night. It was one show. I'd like to think this would continue.

I thought Knox wasn't all that great on Tuesday night, it was Dreamer and Test doing most of the work and carrying the match.

Test wasn't that great, but Test helped do most of the work? Test sounds like a complex guy.

There, edited. I meant to say Test and Dreamer did most of the work, as you have probably already figured out.

After seeing some Deep South I'm upgrading him to a 2.5, maybe a 2.75. Much better as a tag worker than a singles wrestler.
