[4.0] "The first edition of No Way Out, after what I watched previously, the matches were mid point, Michinoku vs Pantera was my match of this show, but in general an event that goes low for me. 4/10"

[5.0] "An entertaining PPV for being in the unenviable position between Rumble and Wrestlemania. Nothing on this card is must see material, but beyond one really bad tag match, the rest is solid work. Probably not a PPV worth coming back to often, but for what it was, this was a perfectly enjoyable show."

[6.0] "It's odd to see how bad this card is rated in comparison to something like In Your House: Badd Blood because I'd argue that overall it's the stronger card. Of course, there's guff such as Bradshaw vs Jarrett and the utterly dog shit Godwinns. However, there's also Taka Michinoku defeating Pantera in a strong match and Kane and Vader going at it in an enjoyable match. Kane/Vader also has Kane getting the pin which is smart booking. Elsewhere on the card too, there's the Ten Man Tag Team match showing how The Rock was really starting to hit his stride by this time. For me, the main event is great. Yeah, Savio Vega is the shits but it's still got Cactus Jack, Funk, Hart, Austin, Triple H and The New Age Outlaws when they were insanely over (and it should be mentioned that the booking does what it can to push the upcoming Wrestlemania match between Austin/Michaels without Michaels actually being there because of his injury). Would give this a 6.5 if I could."

[5.0] "Three solid matches and the rest blew chunks. the reaction to Austin giving Chyna the stunner was glorious. Kane and Vader had a good match, but it' hard to say this was a good how overall. It wasn't."

[6.0] "Interesting show. Opener was alright and the Light Heavyweight title match was the best technical match on the card although you had to sit through Lawler and his son's repulsive commentary. Godwinns vs Quebecers was the worst match of the night. It was followed by four matches that started out pretty good and improved as you went on. No big matches that stood out on this card."

[4.0] "Main Event is the highlight here with a typical Attitude era card of nothing but filler till the Main Event. Totally passable."

[6.0] "It was a fine PPV as the last stop to Wrestlemania, but it probably isn't an essential show. It had a disjointed, but fun unsanctioned 8-man tag match with Stone Cold getting the win in front of a hot crowd. If you can put up with the really bad commentary then I'd recommend the Taka v Pantera match too as that was really good. It progresses the storylines from the last few weeks with Sable getting pushed for her feud with Luna as well as the bigger storyline split with Marc Mero continuing to look inevitable and the 10 man tag does an okay job continuing The Rock v Shamrock rivalry as well as showing the dissension with The Nation even though I thought the match itself was a bit meh. Kane vs Vader was another match that made Kane look absolutely unstoppable. Most of the matches was fine, but not a lot was amazing."

[5.0] "It's weird how much more entertaining the episodes of Raw were at this point in the WWF's history compared to a typical PPV like this. It's probably because RAW was much more segment heavy and the Attitude Era was legitimately entertaining as sports entertainment, whereas on PPVs like this, more time had to be filled with "actual wrestling". This PPV for example, had a dead crowd for lots of matches, with lots of people probably buying a ticket just to see Austin. As a result, the wrestling is "just kind of there" for lots of this and from a match standpoint there's maybe only 3 matches worth even considering. I'm a fan of the main event just for how wild and chaotic is, but I can see why people might hate it as well for the same reason."

[5.0] "Yet another mixed bag of a PPV that isn't that bad or that good. The Opening tag match is mostly fine but a bit too long. Crowd was really into Sable's interactions. Also the Marilyn Manson look is the best TAFKA Goldust outfit so far (5/10) Despite getting Sunny as a ring announcer and the annoying commentary, the Lightheavyweight title match is the best on the card Pantera works on the back to tell a story and there's a lot of nice high spots (7/10) Godwinns/Quebecers is a waste of time, not botchy but just really boring (3/10) Bradshaw/Jarrett is a nice oldschool match with the Texas crowd reacting quite well to the NWA heel shenanigans, shame that it ends with a DQ, otherwise it would've been good (5/10) Ten man tag continues to build tension between Nation members and the Rock/SHamrock feud, its entertaining in some moments but no great overall (5/10) Kane/Vader was a good powerhouse brawl that did what it needed to do. Make Kane look like a total badass on his way to Taker (6/10) Main Event is a solid streefight when its chaotic it doesn't get to be a great brawl since they go back to standard tags for absolutely no reason half way, decent closer (6/10)"

[3.0] "Not an awful PPV in many aspects, but ruined entirely by a horrible main event. I mean there wasn't anything outstanding anyway, but at least there wasn't anything insulting up to this point. It started out with a decent Tag Team Match with a hot crowd and a feel good win for The Headbangers. Then Taka and Pantera had an alright cruiserweight match, although Michinoku's matches are much better against bigger guys. Then my boy Jacques Rougeau returned and I couldn't take my eyes off him, so even though the crowd was dead I was having a lot of fun. 10-Man Tag was a chaos without much of a structure with some good talent, but DoA has tired me so much already that I zoned out on it. Kane vs Vader was the best thing on this PPV, as Vader put Kane over strongly and made him look like an absolute monster before WrestleMania, while keeping the crowd hot throughout the whole bout. And then the fiasco of a main event happened that didn't make any sense in terms of the rules and wasted loads of talent. Austin's hot tag was the only good thing about it and the rest was just pure garbage with Foley and Funk activating their worst instincts. Horrible match to end the show, but at least Stone Cold Stunner to Chyna was a nice way to end the show."

[4.0] "A throwaway PPV designed to build up to Mania 14. The main event was easily the best thing of the night. Too many forgettable raw matches."

"Michinoku vs. Pantera is a pretty good title match with enjoyable heel commentary from Jerry Lawler and Brian "Don't Call Me Jerry Lawler's Son" Christopher. The 8-man tag match seems haphazardly thrown together. What's the point of Earl Hebner forcing the tag team partners into their corners if there's no DQs? What are you gonna do, disqualify them? The rest of the matches aren't worth discussing. Despite that, it's amazing how over everything was. The crowd is white-hot."

[4.0] "A pretty standard WWF PPV at the time nothing was truly great although the main event was fun. Overall this would've been better as a raw special than a PPV card. MOTN easily the main event."

[4.0] "Pretty mediocre PPV. No non-Survivor Series WWF event needed two multi-person tag matches, especially when neither of them particularly delivered. There was nothing terrible, but the only match that really stood out was the Light Heavyweight match, and that was spoiled by Brian Christopher joining in with some truly awful commentary."

[5.0] "The PPV is not that good but i will recommend you to watch Kane vs Vader & The main event "No Disqualification Eight Man Tag Team Match" that's it"

[7.0] "I seem to be in the minority here, but I really enjoyed this show for the most part. [1st match] Average Tag match that actually had some heat and some juice from Thrasher. Mero was a great heel, finish pretty creative. ***1/4 [2nd match] Really freaking great match! haven't seen so many outside dives in one match outside of Lucha Libre. Fans weren't all that interested, and neither were the WWF clearly, as most of the focus is spent on the Lawlers. **** [3rd match] Very dull & boring Tag match, enjoyed Jacques's selling though. * [4th match] Quite a good match with some drama. Bradshaw looked pretty stiff with Jarrett, Corney got some shots in here and there. Was annoyed at the finish. *** [5th match] Quick tags and cutting off until it broke down. It was okay. *** [6th match] Slugfest with little moves, what moves there was were no-sold. Strange match. *1/4 [Main] Kind of a reverse of the previous multi-man match, it broke down right away, then turned into a Tag match. This was an assault on all the senses, too much happening at any given time. Terry takes some nasty bumps and is babyface in peril for most of the match. Cactus takes some stiff chairshots to the head. Owen makes some explosive saves and Stone Cold clears house. Not a particularly great match, but it rounded up many feuds in one match. *** I think there's some good things on this show, specifically the early matches."

[5.0] "You reaaaaally get a feel for how shallow the talent pool in WWF was in 98 from this PPV. There's really only to matches really being worth the watch, and that's the light heavyweight match with Michinoku and Pantera, and the main event. Kane and Vader had a decent bout, but boy is it obvious Vader's in his slump. Overall, I'd be bummed if Id paid for this."

[5.0] "Not a great show, but fine as a placeholder into Mania. All the feuds advance or tick over, Austin and Kane look strong ahead of the biggest matches of their respective careers, and the crowd mostly goes home happy. Not a show you desperately need to see, but it will kill two and half hours whilst being a reasonably easy watch. If you are thinking of watching Mania XIV again then this show is a good way to get warmed up"

[4.0] "A rather unremarkable card that seemed to largely be a placeholder between the Rumble and 'Mania. There's nothing offensively bad here (the main event is reasonably fun, the Taka-Pantera LHW Title match is good, and the post-match angle of Kane-Vader was suitably brutal for putting over the former), but nothing really worth going out of your way to see."

[4.0] "Steve Austin, Chainsaw Charlie, Cactus Jack & Owen Hart vs. Triple H, Savio Vega & The New Age Outlaws (4/5). WWF Light Heavyweight Title: Taka Michinoku vs. Pantera(4/5). NWA North American Title Jeff Jarrett vs. Justin Hawk Bradshaw(2. 5/5). Kane vs. Vader(2/5). The Nation of Domination vs. Ken Shamrock, Ahmed Johnson & The Disciples of Apocalypse(3/5). The Headbangers vs. Marc Mero & Goldust(1. 5/5). The Godwinns vs. The Quebeccers (1/5). No Way Out of Texas PPV is the last stop PPV before Wrestlemania 14. It's not a great PPV, I only recommend watching Light Heavyweight Title Match between Taka Michinoku and Pantera, and the Eight Man Tag Team No Disqualification Match main event."

[5.0] "Another super average IYH ppv, nothing is outright bad (apart from Godwinns and Quebecers getting 11 minutes on a PPV) but there's an awful lot of forgettable content. I'd recommend the light heavyweight match and the main event and probably nothing else."

[4.0] "Pretty bad PPV that is not surprising because Attitude era started. Opener has it's momets but most of the match is boring. Light Heavyweight division match is good but I would better watch short but fast match than pretty long and with lots of technician wrestling. Quebecers vs Godwinns is just horrible. Why WWF gave this match 10 minutes? Who cares about it? 10 man tag is just okay. Kane vs Vader is not really good. Just a part of build-up for Taker vs Kane. Main event is good but not more. Michaels's replacement with Savio Vega is very weird."

[4.0] "A pretty forgettable event with the only good match being the main event. You wouldn't miss much if you skipped 90% of this card."

[4.0] "Not always the event before Wrestlemania sets up things right. This is a complete filler, with a decent main event but a terrible undercard (there is one of the worst match of Goldust), and a mediocre midcard. The Nation of Domination near to split story is one of the best things in the event, Kane vs Vader does not deliver. Really skippable."

[4.0] "The wrestling was about par for 1998. There wasn't any angle advancement, and the PPV didn't do anything to set up WrestleMania that wasn't already done on Raw. I can't honestly think of a reason to recommend it, but it's not actively bad."
