[7.0] "I can't give this more then a 7. Yeah it's a fun show but not free of flaws. Not really fan of The Cat who interferes with the opening match. Bulldog is clearly working injured and that Scott Hall drunken mess gimmick is terrible and a disgrace. The Horseman reforming and Ric Flair returning is so hype that it brings the show up. Warrior kidnaps The Desciple that was funny. The Flock is free and Kidman wins the cruiserweight belt. Kidman stole the show for me."

[3.0] "The only reason this episode is rated so high is because of Ric Flair? s return, which was cool by the way. The Cruiserweight Title match was also legit. However, the rest of the matches were below average at best, including one of the worst moments in professional wrestling history in Scott Hall being drunk? It was an embarrassing moment for the company and I hope whoever? s idea that was is left to feel shame about it some 25 years later."

[7.0] "Finally a pretty decent episode of Nitro. It starts off rough with Van Hammer coming out to the ring as a hippy for the opening bout, continues with an acceptable match with Saturn and the less impressive Windham, and soon enough a great match with a newly freed from the Flock Kidman who delivers a great performance as he takes the Cruiserweight title from Juvi. Then follows a couple of skippable matches, including Meng and Giant fighting like kids who have never fought a day in their life and just swing wildly, and then there's the awful drunk Scott Hall storyline. I suppose WCW saw what WWF was doing with Road Warrior Hawk's real life substance abuse issues and wanted to do it themselves. THe highlight of the match was absolutely Arn Anderson's loooong promo, leading up to a teary-eyed Ric Flair coming back to WCW and the re-establishment of the Four Horsemen. Which is somewhat bittersweet because it means we'll probably see more Mongo. THe main event was acceptable, though strange without the buildup, and there's the obligatory interference that ends the match."

[8.0] "Overall this is a really great Nitro. Juvi vs. Kidman rocks, and Giant vs. Meng is two and a half minutes of two guys trying to see god by destroying each other. Of course the whole Arn/Flair segment is just incredible, and there are other good bits too. Two very bad parts, the "Drunk Hall" match and Ultimate Warrior "teleporting" around and kidnapping the Disciple, of course using the trapdoor he insisted on which will all but cripple Davey Boy on a bad landing. Still, overall very good Nitro."
