[5.0] "Fun fact: Sara Lee was my great aunt. The opening segment with Mike Tenay and Vince Russo was well done with Tenay defending TNA and Russo be a swarmy heel. But, for the love of God, Tenay, please stop trying to look intense. It's cringy. Sara missed the slap to Russo's face, which was awkward, but it did what it set out to do. This show was ok. It featured the last match ever from Curt Hennig, which was sadly against David Flair, buyt it also featured the arrival of Dusty Rhodes. I won't remember much about it long-term, but America's Most Wanted had the best match of the night. The rest was garbage."

[4.0] "Dull and sloppy is the best way to describe this episode. There was almost no matches that had any chemistry and there were a ton of botches throughout the evening. We opened the night with Tony Mamaluke and David Young taking on Kid Kash and EZ Money in a sloppy and boring tag match. Sonny Siaki then defended his X-Division Title against Jason Cross in a match that was better, but still sloppy and boring. Jerry Lynn and Ron Killings took on BG James and Don Harris in a match that showed why these guys didn't tag together more, as they had zero chemistry. We finally got something actually good as America's Most Wanted and the Disciples of the New Church faced off over the World Tag Team Titles one last time in a Match of the Night outing. Curt Hennig then defeated David Flair in a short, confusing, and not very enjoyable pole match before Jeff Jarrett ran through Triple X in a decent gauntlet match, that still never became as good as it should have been."

[3.0] "What a horrible way to start 2003. I enjoyed the first segment, as Mike Tenay defending the NWA tradition was great, but all the rest that involves Russo is really bad. The only good match is the tag team titles match, another great showing by them. I can't believe that Curt Hennig's last match was against David Flair of all people. Main event was very long and boring. Too much Russo for me."

[1.0] "Atrocious episode this week. There's nothing from AJ Styles or any of the other top performers to bail them out with a great match, and the bad stuff is simply awful with no unintentional comedy to give it any value."

[2.0] "Two good things on the show, the X Division tag at the start and the tag title match. Pretty much everything else is infested with Russo, who appears countless times to scream in a desperate attempt to get heat. The main event seems to go on forever and, while I appreciate Jarrett didn't just squash all three guys, none of them seemed to be allowed to do very much as they sat around in rest holds for most of the match as the crowd lost interest. Curt Hennig has what must be the most pathetic and most tragic final match of any legend, as he'd be dead a month later."
