[7.0] "1998 was a year of transition for the WWF. Their undercard was seriously unorganized, but their main events were spectacular. This show was a perfect example of the WWF during the Attitude Era. Austin Vs. McMahon at its finest."

[6.0] "Average PPV with an outstanding main event, which is a bit of a pattern with most of the 1998 shows. Austin v Foley was a classic match with the storylines going on around it making the match even more entertaining and not detracting from it whatsoever. There was also a surprisingly good Bradshaw/Taka vs Kaientai handicap match early on in the show. Marc Mero went peak heel with the way he gets a cheap pin on Sable to send her packing from the WWF (for now) and I thought Jarrett v Blackman and DX vs Nation was okay matches but nothing special. There was a few filler matches that you can easily skip through and Rock v Faarooq in particular was very disappointing especially considering the strong build."

[4.0] "Another fairly weak In Your House PPV. LOD continues to have matches with a decent start that peter out quickly. The Harris brothers suck as always so nothing to see here (3/10) Jarrett/Blackman is mostly average, Jarrett is a solid heel back in his original gimmick and Blackman has some cool moves but zero charisma, not bad but a little sloppy (5/10) Mero/Sable is just an angle and not an entertaining one at that (0/10) Kain En Tai vs Bradshaw and TAKA is the first good match in the card. A lot of fun double teams and high flying by the heels with TAKA playing the face in peril well and Bradshaw looking badass. Nothing insane but fine (6/10) Rock/Faarooq had a bunch of set up with Rock getting attacked earlier in the night, but that didn't really add much drama here. The match is short and uninteresting also has a botched finish and makes Ron Simmons look like a total chump for losing (3/10) Kane/Vader is not as good as their previous PPV match and is a bit sloppy at times, but I thought was a watchable hoss fight with a few cool spots (5/10) Nation/DX was a solid 6 man tag with nice wrestling and some fluid sequences specially when Owen got involved. A bit over long but enjoyable (6/10) Austin/Dude Love is a good main event, with an enjoyable preamble by MCmahon and the Stooges. Theres a lot of brawling around and overbooking but its mostly fun. Can't say the match is great because Austin counting his own pin with Mcmahon's hand is a dumb finish. Still MOTN though (7/10)"

[3.0] "If it wasnt for the Main Event; this show would potentially be considered as one of the WWF's worst from this period, as the under card was a whole lot of nothing. However, that Main Event was top notch stuff and it rescued the show from the abyss. Its still not a good show, but its not a terrible one at least. I still wouldnt recommend you actually watching the show as a whole, but that Main Event is absolutely worth checking out."

[5.0] "A mixbag of a PPV with a fantastic main event. It didn't start well though, as I was once again forced to watch the DoA match with Harris Brothers having no idea how to work as heels in control. Then Jarrett got probably the best possible match out of Blackman, while Mero tricking Sable into getting her pinned made me pop. Handicap Match was a very pleasant surprise with a focus of the match being Kai En Tai desperately trying to avoid a confonration with Bradshaw and Dick Togo looking especially impressive there. Then Rock and Faarooq had not an awful, but still a disappointing match considering how nicely their feud has been going, while Kane vs Vader wasn't as good as their previous meeting, but still it was nice to see how over Big Van was with the fans. 6-Man Tag was okay, although it started dragging a little in the middle, plus DX don't really do it for me as faces. And then the main event was the highlight of the show. Fantastic storytelling here with everybody trying to screw Austin out of the title. Pat's introductions and remainders were fantastic, Vince's work as a referee was great and overall the brawl itself was very entertaining with a clever finish to end the match. All in all the main event is worth checking out, the rest not so much, but still with some good stuff here and there."

[6.0] "Alot of this show is skippable but it is saved from being bang mediocre by an amazing main event. The rest of the show isn't worth watching other than possibly the Nation/DX tag match or if you wanna see Kaientai get a good showing."

[5.0] "Pretty much a one-match show; the Austin vs. Foley main event is another great chapter of Austin fighting against all odds in his feud with McMahon's corporation. Some may accuse it of being overbooked, and it was, but in this case the overbooking suited the overall story well and, most importantly, made for a very entertaining main event. While the undercard isn't nearly that strong - most of it could've been handed on Raw just fine - it isn't a total loss, as the Bradshaw/Taka vs. Kaientai match was pretty fun and, surprisingly, the second-best match on the card, and Jarrett-Blackman match and the DX-Nation six-man were OK if not anything you wouldn't see on free TV. Rock-Faarooq was disappointing, as what should've been a good feud ended with a short match with a botched end, and Kane-Vader could have been a solid hoss battle if they weren't just openly wasting Vader at this point."

[5.0] "Main event makes this show worth it, the rest is overly disappointing, I guess this describes the Attitude Era perfectly huh?"
Giantfan1980 wrote on 20.08.2022:
[4.0] "This is a classic example of the WWF Attitude era where nearly the entire under card was meaningless trash and the main event was the only thing that mattered on the PPV. Austin/Foley once again get top honors tonight but they had no competition to speak of. The main event is MUST for any attitude era fan, but the rest is a waste of time if you sat through it once. Still a pretty lousy PPV with one gem buried under the crap."
Derek Joists wrote on 08.06.2022:
[3.0] "Absolutely a one match show, nothing else was worth watching except maybe the KaiEnTai match. But that main event is, if not quite a classic, certainly very good and very important. Watch that, skip the rest."

[5.0] "This show was alright with a really good main event to close the show. The undercard matches were alright, but Kai en Tai vs Bradshaw & Taka was actually pretty good which was a shock to me. Rock/Farooq was bad, the two clearly lacked chemistry and the botched finish doesn't help things at all. Matches from best to worst: Austin/Love ****3/4, Kai en Tai vs Bradshaw& Taka ***, six-man tag **3/4, Jarret/Blackman **1/4, Kane Vader *, LOD 2000/DOA 1/2*, Rock/Farooq DUD"

[6.0] "The main event was absolutely insane. Absolutely iconic match. Sadly, there wasn't much else to this PPV. Bradshaw and Taka taking on the Kai En Tai was pretty good. Taka got dominated by swift tag team action from the trio, and Bradshaw wiped them out when he got tagged in. Faarooq and Rock didn't have the most impressive of matches, Rocky having his neck brace on as he came out to his (new, awesome) theme song. Who cares that Vader lost his match, it barely covered anything anyway. At least the moonsault looks sick as always coming from Vader."

[6.0] "Pros: - Steve Austin vs Dude Love (match of the night); - Kai En Tai vs Taka Michinoku and Bradshaw; - Nation of Domination vs D-Generation X; - Jeff Jarrett vs Steve Blackman; Cons: - Legion of Doom 2000 (Road Warriors) vs Disciples of Apocalypse; - match between Marc Mero and Sable was just a segment; - The Rock vs Faarooq; - Big Van Vader got embarrassed after losing his match against Kane; In conclusion, Over The Edge 1998 (In Your House 22) was an average show with the spectacular main event."

[5.0] "The three on two handicap is a pleasant surprise and the main event is absolute chaotic fun from start to end, but everything else, eh, is a hard skip."
The Old School wrote on 02.06.2018:
[5.0] "Typical Attitude era PPV: awful undercard and very good main event. Taka and Bradshaw vs Kai End Tails is pretty decent as well as 6 man tag. Howewer other undercard matches are mediocre at best. Main event is great. It has some cool spots but I think that main reason for this match to be that great is how it was booked. Just watch it by yourself, this is highly recommended."

[6.0] "Once again another event in 1998 where the entertainment has more time than the actual Wrestling. Steve Austin vs Dude Love is a strong main event and I like the 3 vs 3 match with the D-X against the new Nation of Domination. The rest is almost forgettable, there is something good in Vader vs Kane and The Rock vs Farooq, but the undercard is really bad."
Zach wrote on 29.04.2016:
[3.0] "Eeehhh. Not great, as the wrestling is still taking a backseat to the storylines. Good amount of talent on the show, but it's just not used right, in my opinion. And can I just say Vader putting his mask on the line in a match is hilariously dumb? Because it is."

[6.0] "Time hasn't been kind to this one thanks to a lot of recycled storylines over the past decade, but everything was fresh at the time. There really isn't that much to care about on the undercard, and the main event is available on the Foley disc. Still, the characters, and not the wrestling, drove the PPVs around this time, so it's a good bit of nostalgia. I'll be generous"
