[5.0] "World War 3 was never a landmark PPV, but this one was one of the weakest of the 4. 1998 was probably worse from what I remember, but this one was a close second in bottom quality. Eddie and Rey had the best match and everything else was slightly above average to bad."

[4.0] "Here we go, another edition of the wonderful stipulation that everyone remembers to this day. My God, I thought they were smart enough to realize, that this World War 3 Battle Royal is just awful and nobody wants to see 30 minutes of absolute nothing until only the main eventers are left and only then do they do somewhat interesting stuff. It also didn't help that the rest of the show wasn't the best, apart from Eddie vs Rey, who once again presented a great example of the high-flying action, even if they couldn't follow their Halloween Havoc match. But yeah, the whole stuff with Raven is just horrendous, including his match with Riggs and Saturn being watered down to some random guy in jeans, Goldberg was out for some reason and Hennig vs Flair was a big disappointment, considering a decent build. And the rest is just alright. Faces of Fear had another great showing, Nagata vs Dragon was fine and The Steiners once again brought a lot of entertaining energy to their contest. So not the worst thing I've seen, but again the show for me ended once the main event started."

[6.0] "Nine matches, seven heel wins and the nWo standing tall at the end of the show after making WCW look like chumps. Yup, that sounds like a 1997 era WCW show alright! At the end of the day, four matches at *** or higher make this a reasonably good show, but its a very heel heavy one so tread with caution if you think that sounds like a bummer. Eddie/Rey and Hennig/Flair are both great matches and fans of Raven will enjoy his shtick, so there are definitely reasons to give this show a try. The 60 Man Battle Royal was, as usual, pretty underwhelming but the rest of the show is decent on the whole and, if you like this era of WCW, youll probably enjoy it."

[5.0] "I did not have anything above 3 stars but at least nothing goes very long to really stink the joint out."

[9.0] "I thought this was a great ppv outside of the The Ring Battle Royal and Steve McMichael vs Alex Wright. I will also bring up Steve Regal looks terrible because of the drug abuse, sad thing to see. My favorite bits were of course Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero and Ric Flair vs Curt Henning which I saw Ric Flair to some top rope moves to the outside, crazy to see. Yuji Nagata and Ultimo Dragon had another classic and also should be remembered. It was a great way to introduce me to wcw when I was a kid because I was throughly entertained."

[4.0] "Too much mediocrity on this show to go higher than a 4. Check out Guerrero/Mysterio obviously but everything else is passable."

[8.0] "I enjoyed this show. There's really solid wrestling throughout most of the card including a couple of hidden gems. Now the main event is admittedly mess but I'm usually a big fan of battle royals and I at least enjoyed watching such a big match featuring so many different wrestlers."

[5.0] "While this wasn't an awful show, it was a disappointing one, as several matches were repeats from the last PPV and most weren't as good, and there were some others that just didn't click for some reason. The main event was awful, as all the 60 man matches were. Overall it's the worst kind of mediocre, where there's nothing much wrong but it's just fairly dull."

[6.0] "My favourite thing about this PPV was the Command & Conquer-esq opening video package. Everything else is mostly average, only 1 truly awesome match on here. [1st match] Fun hard-hitting brawl. Glacier took on most of his team's workload. Cat's selling was awful, especially that weird collision with his teammate. Finish came out of nowhere and was epic. *** [2nd match] Pretty bad. Disco did mostly strikes, and later beat up Raven's Flock at ringside for seemingly no reason. Loved Saturn's cool badass demeanour during the match itself. **1/2 [3rd match] Not as good as their last PPV encounter. Onoo proves his work as a heel manager pretty obnoxiously. Finishing sequence very sloppy. *** [4th match] Not as good as I was hoping. Regal seemed a little off, especially during his tests of strengths with Rick, it just looked ridiculous. Thought Dave Taylor looked pretty good, wish they got a run with the Tag belts. **3/4 [5th match] Surprisingly fun brawl. Great work by Riggs making sure to land on his eyepatched eye during spots to make it more impactful. *** [6th match] Short but fun. ** [7th match] MOTN. On par with their last PPV encounter. Eddie drawing some great heat from the fans. **** [8th match] Brutal match, with Flair resorting to some rare top rope moves. Really cool chair spots with Hennig. Finish a little underwhelming, but at least it was clean. ***1/2 [Main] Viewing was a little nicer, as they mostly stuck to one ring, and only had the one set of commentators. Got better with the final 14, but ending was the usual obnoxious nWo swervefest. *1/2"

[5.0] "A shame that a mostly good event is dragged down by a really awful main event. The opening tag is surprisingly pretty great, thanks to Meng & Barbarian and their awesome monster work, and Saturn/Disco is a solid if uninspiring match. Nagata/Ultimo is a good bout but not nearly as good as their previous one. My favorite match on the card is the Blue Bloods/Steiners match, extremely fun was that one. Savage/Riggs is enjoyable, even if it's a little more angle than a regular match. Wright/McMichael is nothing much but Mysterio/Eddie is a great match, not as good as HH but still very good. Hennig/Flair is excellent when you consider Flair broke his foot early on and fought through the rest of the match, some really good stuff there and a lot of grit from the aging legend. The main event, however, is horrible. Like all WW3 matches it is virtually unwatchable until the very end, at which point the actual finish is idiotic with a completely stupid Hogan appearance and an even stupider "fake Sting", obviously Kevin Nash but the commentators don't notice he grew 12 inches taller and has completely different hair and build. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Lots of good stuff in WCW still but the train is coming off the tracks."

[7.0] "Pretty good event overall. The three-ring battle royal was what you'd expect from such a mass of humanity, but it was certainly fun and different. The screwy finish with Hogan and Nash appearing did bring it down somewhat, but I did like the lead-in with the NWO taking over one ring and the remaining WCW stars having to team up to storm into it. On the undercard, the Dragon-Nagata, Steiners-Regal/Taylor, Guerrero-Misterio and Hennig-Flair matches all delivered, and I appreciated that a few of the undercard matches took advantage of the presence of the three side-by-side rings. Pretty fun watch from WCW's hottest era."
