[4.0] "The Battle Royal starts off slow and predictable, but picks up real momentum and energy in the final minutes. And Ramon is on fire right now. The Heavenly Bodies casually eliminate the posing Thomas and his unknown buddy, while Bobby Heenan points out that the Rock 'n' Roll Express will also be making a stop in the WWF. This is followed by a report on the latest developments involving Bam Bam and the Corporate Clown. But that already happened on Superstars. Doink himself, of course, has an easy time of it against Corey Student. Bigelow fails to get the better of Doink, and after the commercial break, there are only a few flashbacks to the final moments of the Battle Royal earlier in the show. This is unnecessary. The Battle Royal is fine, but the rest with Doink and Bigelow, with all due respect to Matt Borne, is hardly worth mentioning. Barely adequate. A very brief note on the sentiment that 'Face Doink is incredibly annoying' - I don't see it that way at all, rather, Borne handles this quite subtly here with good facial expressions and decent acting. It was Phil Apollo who later became overwhelmed by the whole situation, but it'll be a few more weeks before he takes the stage."

[5.0] "This episode of Raw looks very week on paper but actually ended up being surprisingly decent. The main event of this show is really the opening match, as it's the only real match of substance on this show and has stakes as they set up the two challengers to face off for the vacant IC Championship in a match the following week. The Heavenly Bodies squash was a fun little much, although a bit annoying that commentary just talked over stuff and paid little attention to what was actually happening. The other thing I will say about the Heavenly Bodies in the WWF so far is that they seem so hyped at the opportunity that they've been a bit clumsy at times. The Doink match was obviously the worst but the early days of Doink's face turn have actually been very interesting so far, and he's started a feud with Bam Bam Bigelow at this point. Intrigued to see what the next episode brings and hopefully the IC Title match delivers."

[5.0] "5/10 because half the show is for the battle royal but it's one of the better battle royals they put on thanks to the stakes involved."

[7.0] "Half the show was the battle royal and that's where my points here are coming from. I've seen a ton of battle royals and this one is my favorite thus far. I love how they introduced everyone with their music (they didn't do this at the last royal rumble) and I absolutely felt the pop that Ramon got as soon as his theme started. Having Gonzalez get eliminated early was a great move, also not having anyone else get eliminated for around 5 minutes after that was also great. It's really annoying when half the contenders are out within the first two minutes. Also, the battle royal told a few stories within it, which they usually don't do well. Well done! The other shit with doink is sorta weird really. I think he was best when he was a heel and bad clown. The fun clown crowd favorite version of doink is corny. It's only been 2-3 episodes now where he's turned (or been turning) face and not it seems he's finally there. And, I don't like it. I'm sure there's ways where they could make a face turn for doink work but what they're doing with him right now is not the way. I can say I'm not really looking forward to the IC match next week because Martel just came back out of nowhere (I'm guessing injury) so there is not a great feud here... but they did try at the end of the battle royal to make things turn personal. So, nice try! Maybe the IC match is a stepping stone to a great feud? I don't know."

[5.0] "Basic early raw episode, where WWE still made more off of house shows then TV, that started strong with a good battle royal although I am not really a fan of having 2 winners in a battle royal. Then 2 squash matches including the main event which was more building to Bigelow and Doink then anything else. Overall one match show but a fine quick watch."

"The only thing I enjoyed was the Battle Royal which saw a rare in ring appearance by The Macho Man, as well as Jimmy Snuka. It's nice to see The Model going for a nice little run again. Not sure how long it will last but now I see why him and Tatanka didn't gain the win over each other last week. Everything else was basically a Superstars episode."

[3.0] "I didn't enjoy this episode to be honest but the battle royale was ok with a good pop which had razor ramon winning but apart from that nothing interesting else happened in the show"

[6.0] "This episode was literally all about the battle royal. It was an enjoyable match and made me want to watch the following week's IC Title match between Razor Ramon and Rick Martel, so mission accomplished. The rest was just a couple of quick squashes, but they weren't bad. I'm not excited about the Doink/Bigelow at all though, or anything with Doink as a babyface honestly. Still, this was a fairly enjoyable episode."

[4.0] "The Battle Royal took up most of the episode and it was fun and saved the show. After the Battle Royal, you could close the episode and you won't miss anything. On a side note, turning Doink face was so stupid"
TigerDiver wrote on 30.11.2021:
[6.0] "The battle royal ate up like half of the episode, but the battle royal was great so I can forgive. Doink's whole face turn had some small potential at first, but once the original man behind the paint got fired, it all went downhill from there and never got up again. Solid RAW overall."
The Old School wrote on 03.11.2018:
[4.0] "Boring episode. Battle royal is pretty fun howewer there no more interesting stuff. Two short squashes and a recape of segment with Doink on Superstars. It is so sad to see him as a face. Matt Borne is great even on this role but WWF has lost so amazing character."
Mizzle Assault Ant wrote on 10.10.2018:
[8.0] "Underrated show, it's mostly the battle royal which is really good as far as battle royals go. Crowd was totally molten for Razor and the whole sequence with the final six, then the final 4 was extremely well done. They never should have turned Doink face though, I enjoy him messing with Bobby Heenan but it was the end of the gimmick being any good."

[2.0] "Not a good show, only thing of note is the battle royal. Two squash matches and long clip of Doink pulling gags on Bam Bam. Very boring."
