[9.0] "Perhaps the best WCW PPV, whose true greatness lies in the fact that it has absolutely no weak spots, even on the under- and mid-card. Mero, Page, Regal, Austin, Pillman, Muta, Foley, plus the Nasties in their late prime--it's all solid at the very least, even if the tag team title match is, in my opinion, still mercilessly overrated. The Big Men's match is truly above average, the Bunkhouse Match is even better and the main-event match comes close to being a must-see. The only slight disappointment is Sting vs. Rude, which clearly falls short of its potential. I'm a huge fan of this show, so I'm even rounding my rating up to nine."

[6.0] "A nice show, but there's a lot of mediocre matches in here, as well as some bullshit finishes, most noteworthy Flair vs. Steamboat which finishes in a double pin, allowing Flair to retain the title. Good, but nothing to write home about, and I can't really recommend anything here other than Flair vs. Steamboat and maybe Dustin vs. Buckhouse Buck."

[6.0] "It's a decent enough show, with a really good main event, a nice bunkhouse match and decent hoss fight. However, it also has 3 screwy finishes, all of which are in title matches, which is unsatisfying, and only really the main event kicks it up into another level. Sting vs Rude is simply poor."

[7.0] "This is an above-average ppv for WCW in this time period. The middle of it is a little disappointing, especially Muta vs Austin, which should have been great, but the other matches are all solid and none of them last too long or overstay their welcome. The Chicago street fight is surprisingly awesome. Plus we've got the Mean Gene on this show so it's that much better because of him. I found the main event to be good but not up to the usual very high standard for flair and steamboat. Others may disagree. Overall worth a watch."

[9.0] "An overall very good WCW show from this timeframe. The Flair/Steamboat match was the best match on the show, because of course it was."

[8.0] "A consistently solid undercard with Vader vs The Boss as a fantastic all-time great hoss match highlight, headlined by an underrated classic between Flair and Steamboat. Possibly the greatest show WCW ever put on, with no fat to trim anywhere on the card."

[8.0] "The official WCW youtube channel was set up recently with this PPV being among the first uploads so it felt like a good time to watch and rate it. It's a consistently strong show, some of the weaker matches could've used either more time or better finishes but everything keeps at least a decent level. Theres a nice mix between more technical matches and more brawl heavy bouts to keep diversity. Of course the big highlight is the main event between Steamboat and Flair who as always deliver a great match. A good example of WCW at full potential. Match Ratings DDP vs Johnny B Badd (6/10) Regal vs Pillman (7/10) Nasty Boys vs Jack & Payne (7/10) Austin vs Muta (6/10) Rude vs Sting (6/10) Buck vs Rhodes (8/10) Vader vs Bossman (6/10) Flair vs Steamboat (9/10)"

[10.0] "Finally a perfect show from top to bottom. Obviously not all the matches were classics, but every single one was good, plus a lot of them surpassed a certain, solid level. Enough said that "the worst" matches here were Mero vs DDP and Vader vs The Boss and these two were still pretty good bouts that got me hooked. Everything else could have been the main event on any other PPV and I wouldn't mind it. Regal vs Pillman was a great, technical contest with Brian bringing back his incredible charisma and Steven excelling with his heel work, The Nasties vs Payne & Foley was a whole lot of fun, where both teams produced a great chaos that felt like a real fight and it was getting better with every minute, while Austin vs Muta had a weak finish, but everything else up to this point was perfect and Steve was showing once more that he was one of the best heel workers at the time. Sting got a very good match out of Rude with the crowd going crazy for every single offense from the babyface, plus the pop they got for Sting's win was incredible. And then a huge surprise for me was Dustin vs Buck, as they delivered a phenomenal, bloody brawl with Rhodes easily connecting with the crowd and Golden really reminding me of Terry Funk with his solid work, while the main event was the best match of the night with Flair and Steamboat adding another outstanding bout to their saga. Technically flawless, entertaining match with a nicely told story of Steamboat being tired of Flair's heel antics, which made this contest feel even more intense than their previous three big meetings. So overall a phenomenal show, lots of fantastic matches and a hot crowd from the beginning until the end."

[8.0] "A very good PPV with a great main event and good pacing with regards to the match ordering. Schiavone and Heenan were fun to listen to especially after watching lots of Raw!"

[8.0] "This event was one of the best event WCW ever put on. It's not quite as good as Great American Bash 1989, but it's a spectacular show. Cactus Jack/Maxx Payne and the Nasty Boys had a wild brawl, Dustin Rhodes and Bunkhouse Buck beat the shit out of each other, Sting and Rude was fun, and Steamboat and Flair tore the house down when they really shouldn't have been able to anymore."

[9.0] "It was one of the better points of WCW during its heyday. This was before the Monday Night Wars keep in mind. So, for them to put on a banger show like this, was phenomenal."

[8.0] "A few mediocre matches, nothing horrible. But there were several matches that were very solid and enjoyable to watch. A few disappointing finishes to top it off. However it was one of the better WCW events in the early 90? s."

[7.0] "Possibly the last good/great PPV before the Hogan era of WCW. Obviously you want to check out Flair/Steamboat and the Chicago Street Fight is worth a look. Nothing outright offensive on this show."

[7.0] "One of the better WCW PPV's, this show had some strong matches and nothing, at least nothing that was televised, that would qualify as being bad."

[6.0] "Lots of good stuff here, though a lot of nothingness too. DDP vs Badd was just bad itself. Badd was entertainingly flamboyant, but DDP offered nothing. **. Regal vs Brian was pretty good. Regal was a good heel, cowardly at times and aggressive at others, with nice submission holds. Brian had good energy to counter Regal's pace and got many nice hope spots. ***1/4. Nasty Boys vs Jack and Payne had some cool hardcore spots, but was still mostly just a messy brawl. Even by hardcore spotfest standards it didn't really stand out much. **1/2. Austin vs Muta was another alright match. Muta had very nice energy and charisma, which the crowd loved, but Austin's offence was pretty dull and focussed upon for far too long. The DQ finish was stupid. ***. Rude vs Sting was fine. Rude was a very good heel with his cocky poses and expressions. Sting had some random power-ups and was very cartoonish in his acting. Race and Vader's interference was pointless and annoying for the finish too. **3/4. The Bunkhouse match was lots of really awkward brawling, though with a few nice hardcore spots. Dustin sold well and had good charisma. Buck did nothing. Shit finish. **1/2 Vader vs Boss wasn't terrible, but just very slow and a typical 'big man' match. **1/4. Flair vs Steamboat was good and saved the show from being totally mediocre. Steamboat's selling and display of passion was great. Flair's melodrama was okay too. Lots of exciting quick pin attempts. Creative but disappointing finish. ***1/2"

[10.0] "What a great event. Several years after their legendary 1989 trilogy, Flair and Steamboat hooked it up again, and if the result wasn't quite to the same level as those previous clashes, it was sure close. We also a good semi-main with Sting and Rude, some violent and bloody brawls in the Vader vs. Boss, Dustin Rhodes vs. Bunkhouse Buck and Nasties vs. Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne matches, some good technical affairs with Regal vs. Pillman and Austin vs. Muta, and a fun opener with Badd and DDP. All killer and no filler in my book - among WCW's very best."

[9.0] "DDP/Badd is a surprisingly great opener, both guys are really hungry here and seem to be on the cusp of something much bigger. For DDP it would work out, sadly not as much for the future Mero. Regal/Pillman is actually a fantastic bout and arguably the best on the card, even more than the main event. Pillman is FULL of fire here and Regal is brilliant, both with incredible technique and bone rattling strikes, as well as a sneering meanness that gets the crowd all up in his grill. Smartly structured as well. Cactus & Payne/Nastys is excellent in it's way, a pretty out of control brawl that would look extreme even in ECW or Attitude, though it does get a little uncomfortable in how dangerous the spots seems to be. Austin/Muta is disappointing, Muta did not seem to care about his US appearances after 89. Sting/Rude is actually pretty bad, Rude is pretty shot physically and relies VERY heavily on rest holds, and Sting does a kind of lame no selling gimmick that he's not very good at. The finish is booked horribly as well, a badly timed mess with Vader and Harley Race. It's the only real down spot on the card though. Dustin/Buck is a great violent brawl, very bloody and intense, and underrated in my view. Vader/Boss is also way underrated, a fantastic super heavyweight bout which again features bloody brawling and some truly insane spots, this match should get way more love. Flair/Steamboat delivers a fantastic bout as well, you can feel the intensity returning from their previous encounters and there are a lot of clever fall backs. The crowd is red hot as well, for both guys, and the draw finish protects both men. A very fun show for the most part, I enjoyed it a lot!"

[9.0] "One of the best events of WCW. Most of the matches are good, I really enjoyed The Great Muta vs Steve Austin other than the recommended ones. Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat is almost a classic, the Chicago Street Fight match is a surprise for that year, and Regal vs Brian is too long but not bad. Solid event, recommended."

[8.0] "Einer der besten WCW-PPVs EVER! Da stimmt von vorne bis hinten eigentlich alles, angefangen beim grandiosen Tag Team-Match, das für das damalige Mainstream-Wrestling fast schon revolutionär war, weiter beim intensiven Bunkhouse-Match und dem starken Muta/Austin-Match, das leider durchs dumme Ende gebremst wurde und endend beim Gusto-Stückerl zwischen Flair und Steamboat, das zwar nicht an ihre Trilogie von 1989 rankommt, aber mit dem meisten WCW-Main Events der 90er den Boden aufwischt. Flair hatte zu dieser Zeit großen Booking-Einfluss, was sich beim Spring Stampede phasenweise wiederspiegelt... hätte man ihn nur mal weitermachen lassen und nicht Hogan geholt!"
