"Truly a future superstar." - The Cuban Assassin 2

"Oh lord, it's hard to be Mark Hughes, when you're perfect in every way, I can't wait to look in the mirror, cause I get better lookin' each day." Seriously, Mike is one of the funniest guys I know. A lot of people seem to get the wrong impression of Mike, but once they get to know him they see that he really is an awesome person, just ask Lincoln Steen." - Cathy Yetman

"I have heat with Mike Hughes. He's just a big ... No just kidding. I haven't known Mike for that long, but from what I have seen he is a real solid talent and moves very well for a big man. I would venture to say that he may be the best "big man" in Canadian wrestling today -- and certainly one of the most entertaining to travel with." - Vance Nevada

"Got a head like a half eaten cabbage." - Notorious T.I.D.

"I look at him as like my big brother in the business. I always feel a little more comfortable whenever Mike's around." - Cinder

"Before "Mr. Beefy Goodness" arrived on the east coast, Hughes was known as the king of promos. I can see why, but he is also one of the most physically dominant wrestlers in the business and is probably the best "big man" in the business, with the cardio of a cruiserweight. Recent matches with the WWE when they appeared on the east coast and a campaign to England only solidify my belief in his value on this list." * - Vance Nevada
