[5.0] "Ok show this week for Wrestling Challenge, at least we didn't get any recaps here, it was a 100% new show. The highlights of the show were the Can-Am Connection win and the Snake Pit segment with the Honky Tonk Man. This show continue to solidify itself as a show for the midcarders to shine."

[5.0] "This was a decent episode of Challenge, with the highlight being a very good match between the Can-Am Connection and Kamala and Sika. Rick Martel was so good. Steamboat and Gibbs was decent for a squash. George Steele was on commentary with Gorilla Monsoon and while it was funny at first, by the end of the hour the joke had run its course. The Snake Pit with Danny Davis being confronted by Tito Santana and Koko B. Ware was interesting, but everything else was filler."
