[6.0] "In my opinion, this episode is unfairly underrated. There's a good match for the tag team titles, a couple of decent squashes (well, except for Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Bastion Booger, that match is terrible), and a decent promo. I also enjoyed the confrontation between Macho Man and IRS and the pie in the face. This episode is clearly not that bad, and it definitely deserves a better rating than it currently has."

[4.0] "4 star Raw just for the world tag title match and the titles changed hands on free TV which was exceedingly rare in those days."

[5.0] "Sad to give this episode such a low rating when it contains a lot of things I like: title match, lots of superstars, story advancement, good episodic continuity, etc... but the one big match on the card, the tag title match.... this was a great match but unfortunately the commercial breaks kill it for me and I just wish at this time they had agreements with USA to let some matches go a little longer between breaks, as they eventually figured out how to do a few years later. Outside of that there's another borga squash which is fine for who he is, and again, I like his character. Seems he doesn't care about the title and just wants to kick some ass and have yoko's back. Also Undertaker has a squash match and a good promo against yoko. Bam Bam vs Booger wasn't bad really. Bam Bam is underrated overall. but anyway, even if the match was shitty, I like that their fight this week was built off of what happened in last week's match. I LOVE when the WWF universe makes sense, even if it produces some hard to watch matches. They've always had hard to watch matches, so at least give me some drama! They also are still doing a great job of promoting the rumble and the matches on the rumble card. Doing a much better job of this week to week for this ppv than they have for last years' ppvs, even for wrestlemania 9. So I'd say this, like I said about the previous episode... if you feel like skipping this episode, at least watch the first match. It's really good as long as the commercial break doesn't bother you like it bothers me. Lastly, I just realized that johnny polo is raven lol. I guess with his hair down like it is now, especially at the end of the episode, it's more obvious than it was before."

[6.0] "A solid episode that's totally worth watching for the awesome tag title change to start things off. Marty Jannetty & The 1-2-3 Kid vs The Quebecers was fantastic for a match on a random RAW - just a great, energetic match. The rest of the show was mostly filler with short squashes and a rough Bam Bam Bigelow vs Bastion Booger match, but it went by fast and didn't overstay its welcome. Decent little show overall."

[5.0] "A decent episode with a great opening tag team match with a very shocking result. The rest of the show contained only squashes but they flew by quickly. However, as an anniversary episode this felt weak. There was no dedicated segment for the celebration, and instead we just saw Randy Savage throw the cake on IRS. Also, they were showing just bunch of random moments instead of showing the best moments from RAW 1993."

[6.0] "The first match, the Tag Team Title match, carries the show. With a lot of emotional involvement from the crowd. The other 3 matches were squash style matches, lasting around 2.5 minutes each."

[6.0] "Not the most thrilling 1st Anniversary for RAW, but I thought it was a decent show nonetheless. Everything after the tag title match was completely skippable, but said match was legitimately great with a shocking result that the crowd popped huge for. Solid hour of wrestling TV overall."

[5.0] "Totally a one match show. Janetty and Kid vs Quebecers is a really entertaining match with a great win for faces. Not much good stuff happens besides that. There are some squashes and Booger vs Bam Bam? yeah."

[3.0] "The 1 year Anniversary show was pretty bad besides Savage returning to commentary and The tag title match that started the show. Nothing else really happened. Booger/Bigelow was an awful main event match... oh Savage threw cake at IRS"
