[1.0] "This was one of the worst paced wrestling shows ever, solely because there was no wrestling whatsoever the entire first hour. I don't think even Russo managed to accomplish that. Outside of that, the wrestling was okay but not great, though Bret was wasted badly by going ten minutes with Van Hammer."

"The infamous nitro with no wrestling the entire first hour. This is also the biggest night in monday night wars history. Both shows combined for a 10.8. Nitro got a 4.4. Once they start wrestling its not much better. Goldberg vs Flair is exactly what you think it will be, I loved it"

[4.0] "Let's say it up front, dedicating the first hour to nothing but vignettes was indeed a bizarrely stupid choice. I've certainly seen worse wrestling shows, though. I really liked Steiner vs. Booker and the main event was very hot and a lot of fun to watch."
