[1.0] "Guerrera Vs King was solid, Raven Vs Saturn raven rules was great, and Jericho Vs fake Goldberg was kind of funny in a way, but everything else on the show was a a flat out misery, especially with Steiner Vs Steiner, Hall Vs Konnan and the so called "WarGames", and the crowd was not in the mood for anything that happened with each match and rightfully so for the most part. Overall WCW Fall Brawl (1998) is such a horrible trainwreck of a show."

[1.0] "I've been watching quite a few 'bad' WCW PPVs lately and while I've certainly seen worse shows, I've never been bored by one of these shows as much as this one, Like, I enjoyed Jericho's antics and Juventud and Saturn managed to put on decent enough performances in their respective matches, but holy shit the time wasting on this show is baffling, Steiner vs Steiner having a hot match for all of 3 minutes before we get what felt like 20 mintutes of following them to back before the most obvious swerve in history took place was enough to piss me off. However the 1-2-3 punch of; Dean Malenko getting absolutely nothing from a way-past-his-prime Hennig, a slog of a match between Konnan (who deserved better here) vs This is not a gimmick alchoholic Scott Hall where they clearly sent this poor man out to ridicule himself for the audacity of *checks notes* Having a drinking problem! Followed up by the most confusing clusterfuck of a wargames match I've ever seen. This match somehow managed to be boring and confusing at the same time, people coming in after they're supposed to, Hogan comes in before he's supposed to, multiple moments where people are attacking their own team! ? either I missed something or the people in the match did IDK, at least the right person won I guess?"

[3.0] "A completely random lucha match was the highlight of the show, surrounded by godawful booking decisions and mostly lame action. WCW was off the rails at this point and it shockingly somehow managed to keep existing for another two and a half years."

[6.0] "hmm rewatching a lot of these shows and they sometimes aren't as good as i remember. Ill give this one a bump for nostalgia because it was one of the first shows i could order at home when our cable provider started offering ppvs finally. Not much to say on the matches here...The hype of The Warrior returning and the match being a dud...But The best match was Raven vs. Saturn. I remembered it as such. I loved it then and its still holds up today."

[2.0] "The middle part was the only saving grace of this shit show, but it wasn't enough to save this PPV. Saturn vs Raven was fantastic and they did a phenomenal job of putting Perry over, plus Juventud vs Silver King was a pretty pleasant surprise, but everything else was just tedious or simply awful. No Goldberg on this show, so Jericho had to come up with a silly segment to get some heat on himself. The opener didn't set the seats on fire, Smiley showed that he should have been pushed instead of Miller, while Steiners' match started out great, but they absolutely buried the feud with a horrendous aftermath. Malenko vs Hennig wasn't too bad, but at the same time both guys were capable of something better, Konnan vs Hall was a really poor taste and the main event might have been the worst WarGames Match I've seen, with Bischoff making sure that everything was as confusing as it possibly could have been. Well at least DDP won and we got the match with Goldberg the next day, but the amount of last minute changes on this show was just insulting."

[2.0] "That had to be one of the most boring ppvs I have ever seen in my life. Jericho making fun of Goldberg was funny but would have liked to see a real match. The Cruiserweight title match was a breath of fresh air followed by one of the best Raven's Rules matches ever. The new war games sucked and Ultimate Warrior is now injured after the only cool spot in the match. Scott Hall being drunk sucked, Malenko vs Henning was a let down. Steiner vs. Steiner was somehow even worse then I could ever imagine. I don't think WCW fully knows what to do anymore and it is going down hill fast."

[2.0] "This is a definite Stinker and one of the worst pay per views from any of the Big Three North American companies in 1998, and that covers some significant ground in a year that had Rock Bottom and WrestlePalooza in it. Scarily, it might not even be the worst pay per view that WCW put on in 1998, as Road Wild and World War 3 were absolutely awful as well. Juventud Vs Silver King was watchable and Raven Vs Saturn was genuinely a great match, but outside of those two bouts, everything on this show blew. Terrible wrestling, folks on pay per view that shouldnt have been (Anvil, Bulldog, Cat), insulting storylines/angles (Drunk Hall, Buffs fake neck injury), filler that was better suited to being on television rather than pay per view (Jericho Vs Fake Goldberg, Hennig Vs Malenko), and an all-time atrocious Main Event that took one of the best gimmick matches ever created (although some will disagree) and turned it from a brutal feud ending battle into a clumsy boring slog that made no sense and did very little to elevate the eventual winner. This show is so bad that even trenchant WCW fans online back in the day were holding their hands up and admitting that it was bad. Honestly I cant believe that they typed up the run sheet for this one and no one stopped to say Are we SURE we actually want to put this on pay per view? Is this REALLY the best we can do? . I know its 1998 WCW, but come on, Id expect better from even THEM than to shovel out this dreck and actually dare to demand that people pay for the privilege of watching it. Im personally amazed that Bischoff put on three shows as bad as Road Wild, Fall Brawl and World War 3 in a four month period and still managed to keep his job for nearly another year afterwards, those three shows are THAT bad."

[2.0] "I didn't enjoy most of this event but there were a few things that were okay. The stuff involving Jericho was kind of funny. Saturn and Raven had the MOTN but it still wasn't anything must-see. The rest of the show ended up being highly disappointing."

[0.0] "I get some people giving points for Saturn v Raven and/or Juve v King, but I just can't. There was way too much bad in this show. Fake Goldberg, Hall alcoholism bs, Bulldog getting hurt because of a trapdoor in the ring that was there for a spot that was not worth it, the Steiner match just ending with nothing, and, of course, the War Games match, if you can even call it that, because they basically changed all the rules. Whoever gets the pin gets a title shot, well then what's the point of the teams, especially since you are allowed to pin your teammates. There is so much more I could say about that terrible match, and that match alone undoes any good created by Saturn/Raven or Juve/King, so when there is even more bad piled on top of that, I can't rate this show any higher than a 0."

[3.0] "WCW should have named this PPV Bait and Switch, as this is very much the theme of the show. [1st match] Basic but Infamous match. Bulldog really struggled at times despite being the workhouse for his team, credit to him for carrying on with the match. **1/2 [2nd match] Bait and switch #1 the fans got worked super hard and it made me sad. Bet mini Goldberg had the time of his life though. DUD [3rd match] Nothing match with zero heat. ** [4th match] Bait and switch #2. DUD [5th match] Not great for a Cruiserweight match, lack of fan interest made it worse. *** [6th match] Best thing so far, but still had it's moments. ***1/4 [7th match] Maybe not quite bait and switch, but still short-changing. **1/2 [8th match] I know it's probably a storyline, but still sets a very bad example, thank god it wasn't made into a full blown work angle though ** [Main] Admittedly I've not seen many Wargames matches, but I still think this is easily one of the worst. Very little action, and little excitement apart from the entrances. * I paid nothing to watch this show, yet I want my money back!"

[2.0] "Truth time. I actually PAID to watch this mistake on PPV back in the day. Warrior coming back piqued my interest and so did the Wargames which sounded good on paper. What we got was a near 100% misfire throughout the entire show! Juventud/Silver King and Raven/Saturn were the only ones really trying. This PPV set the standard for what WCW would become in their twilight years. The fake injury in the Steiner match, Scott Hall being allowed to wrestle messed up or at the very least faking it to turn his messed up personal life into a story line, Bulldog getting injured and shortening his already shortened life span and the war games debacle with Warrior's crazy ideas makes for one of THE worst WCW PPV's of all time!"

[1.0] "The point is for the Juve/King and Raven/Saturn matches, as everything else is pretty much inexcusably awful. It's possibly not the worst PPV WCW ever put on, but it's down there, and to be honest when the ratings get below 3 it's fairly arbitrary. But this one wasn't even bad in an interesting way, it was just dull and faintly pathetic."

[1.0] "An abysmal PPV. The Saturn match was the only bout that was good. Other matches ranged for mediocre to outright offensive"
AnB wrote on 09.06.2021:
[2.0] "Yes, it absolutely is as bad as everyone says. It starts off with four terrible matches, though Jericho is at least funny about it. Miller's getting a push for some reason, even though he's awful on the mic and in the ring. The Steiners have been feuding for so long and this was going to be THE match, and then it ends in a fake injury from Buff. Juvi and Silver King put on a solid match, but Juvi's lost some of his intensity over the last few weeks. Saturn v Raven was the highlight of the match, with Kidman attacking Raven and Saturn holding his own against the Flock. Everything after that is also skippable. Scott Hall's drunk or high or whatever and is in a 12-minute match with the poor Konnan who has to deal with his trash, Malenko and Hennig, while actually feeling like a grudge match, is slow and boring. The main event is a travesty. Oh, let's also not forget that Davey Boy suffered a real serious back injury in his match because he landed on the trap door, something that quite possibly played a large role in his eventual death."

[1.0] "I'm frankly shocked this event is not rated much lower. The opening tag match is not exactly bad but it is long and dull with nothing memorable. The Jericho/Goldberg angle is fine I suppose but it had no purpose as WCW refused to do an actual match between them. Smiley/Miller is not a good match and should not have made PPV. Steiner vs. Steiner had some potential but was quickly scrapped in favor of an INTERMINABLE fake injury angle with Buff, which served no purpose anyway since when the swerve was finally revealed they barely did damage to Rick anyway. Juvi/Silver finally gives us a good match on the card, and Saturn/Raven is actually quite fantastic, which is the only reason this even gets 1 point. Hennig/Malenko is decent at best with a lame DQ finish, and then we get to the really awful stuff. It's the PPV debut of Drunk Hall! Watch as this barely functioning alcoholic is barely held together by his enabling buddies. Laugh as Hall wrestles drunk and drinks during matches. Listen to the hilarious commentary crack jokes. It's amazing Scott Hall is not dead today considering the state he was in and the environment around him at the time. I felt sick after watching the match, which by the way was quite terrible even apart from the drinking stuff. The main event, wow, if you want to waste 20 minutes on pure stupidity, this is your stop. The match is painfully dull until the Warrior starts filling the ring with smoke and teleporting. Awful, awful stuff on most of this card."

[6.0] "I don't feel like this show is as bad as everybody says it was. Yes it had it's low points like the Bagwell fake-injury and the ridiculous Scott Hall drinking storyline but the rest of the show was reasonable to watch. While not the greatest main event the War Games match could have went a lot worse than it did and looking back at it it was not a bad watch."
