[7.0] "Right off the bat, it's time for the Stars and Stripes Challenge, and in the blink of an eye, the league has a new top babyface in Lex Luger. This is certainly memorable and a fast-paced plot twist. The Kid pulls off another surprise upset, and it's actually not a bad match at all. Next up is another early vignette featuring Men On A Mission, and Oscar already coming across as a cheap Tone Loc knockoff. Bigelow takes down Joey Maggs, while Heenan spreads the rumor that Tatanka made a move on Luna. Voluntarily. Samu isn't quite on the Undertaker's level, but the match is certainly solid enough for RAW in 1993. In an interview, Mr. Fuji insists that Luger only performed a hip toss on his Yoko, not a slam. Opinions differ on this, but Luger has challenged the Samoan already. And Crush follows suit. Perfect wraps up this memorable show with a classic squash. Here, they're clearly heading toward Summerslam, and they're doing so with highly respectable means."

[7.0] "I liked the "who can slam yokozuna" contest and how patriotic it was supposed to be. It cemented Yokozuna as a worthy champion and also pushed Luger to be the next hogan and a worthy challenger. But really this pisses me off more about Luger's result at the KOTR tourney. If they're going to push him to be the main guy then his KOTR match shouldn't have ended like it did. I love the USA stuff too. Best match on the card on this raw was the 123 kid. Him winning against another big man was cool to see. Nowadays a guy like him would be introduced against guys his size only. I can totally see why people my age loved 123 kid when we were younger. I didn't pay attention at the time, but I get it now. That was a fun match all around. Matching up bam bam with Luna seems like a match made in heaven. I love Luna! Nice to see undertaker on Raw even though the match wasn't great. Mr perfect match wasn't even worth watching. There was a rap segment with three guys and one of the guys in the background was Viscera. I totally forgot about that guy."

[5.0] "Raw #24 opens with a cringe-inducing celebration aboard a WWII ship, with a ridiculous "who can body slam Yokozuna" contest. Wrestlers yell cheap insults at a Samoan-American playing a Japanese heel, and the whole thing reeks of cheap sleazy nationalism. Ten minutes completely wasted on a flag-waving bullshit. Fortunately, The 1-2-3 Kid vs. Blake Beverly redeems with a great underdog performance. Beverly dominates for most of the match, taunting the crowd and treating Kid like a joke, but Kid's awkward schoolboy charm wins them over and earns him a hard-fought victory. Men on a Mission debut with an crazy corny hip-hop promo--ridiculous, but fun in that early-'90s way. Bam Bam Bigelow crushes Joey Maggs in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it squash that, while pointless, is at least mercifully short. Undertaker vs. Samu ends up being one of Taker's better matches of the year. He looks drained without Paul Bearer and the urn, but still delivers a solid, gritty win. The night wraps with Mr. Perfect vs. Brian Costello, another 30-second throwaway match made memorable only by Perfect placing ABC gum on some poor woman face for the second time."

[6.0] "I think this was actually a quite solid RAW for the time. The most well known part of this RAW opens the show as we see the highlights from the USS Intrepid which leads to Lex Luger turning face as he is able to slam Yokozuna. Both the matches with some length were actually good here this time; with the opening match between 1-2-3 Kid and Blake Beverly being my favourite. The squash matches were both fine but if I had to choose a least favourite I would say the one for Bam Bam Bigelow. Men on a Mission got a vignette here, so they are on the way; the vignette wasn't bad but I know what's coming. Luna Vachon hyping up Bam Bam was kinda meh to me. Mr. Fuji is at ringside with Yokozuna as we end up with a title match set for nest week, as Yoko defends against Crush; answering a challenge that Fuji put out."

[7.0] "This was a very good episode of RAW. The 1-2-3 Kid won another match as he keeps establishing himself as a member of the WWF roster, The Undertaker made his return and beat Samu, the squashes were kept short & sweet, and we got a WWF Championship match set for next week. Good stuff."

[7.0] "A good episode of RAW. The Yokozuna Bodyslam challenge footage was quite enjoyable to watch and it was a good way to garner the fans' support for Lex Luger. We got two decent matches in The Kid/Blake and Undertaker/Samu. We also got Yokozuna/Crush set up for next week. Even though Crush has lost a lot of momentum, it should be an interesting clash of styles."

[7.0] "A good edition of Monday Night RAW. I quite liked the Yokozuna Bodyslam Challenge, pretty fun segment. Kid/Blake was a good match that was given a longer time than expected, and UT/Samu was fine enough. Yoko/Crush being set up for next week which should be interesting."

[8.0] "The Luger/Yokozuna slam segment was super well done, very effective start to the angle. Kid/Beverly was actually a great little match, and Samu/Taker was solid as well. Enjoyed this episode a lot!"

[4.0] "Not really that bad, with two decent matches but also two squashes where again, early raws end with a squash main event cause they don't know how to end the show with something compelling. Also men on a mission vignette"

[5.0] "Untypical episode. Replay of Yokozuna body slam challenge took third part of the show. There are also two okay matches: Kid vs Beverlie and Undertaker vs Samuel. Except for that there are only squashes and Yokozuna's promo."
