[6.0] "Not the greatest show but not bad either. The two matches I enjoyed a lot were 2 Cold and Guerrero, and the tag title match which was quite a wild fight. Funk's return was a great segment."

[5.0] "This is a typical for the ECW at this time 50/50 event. It starts of with a quick squash of two random guys mauled by Pitbulls and a very boring 6-man tag match. Then we get a decent matchup between Guerrero and 2 Cold Scorpio. The concept of Barbed Wire Baseball Match with two Rotten brothers against each other sounds like crap on paper, but it is actually somewhat decent. Then we get two of the best matches on the card, a suprisingly enjoyable match in Douglas/Jannetty and a fun, entertaining brawl for the Tag titles with Benoit & Malenko going over Sabu & Tazz. The main event is basically pointless on its own, its role is to set up the return of Terry Funk, who teams up with The Sandman, Shane Douglas comes out and turns face attacking Funk & Sandman, creating an alliance with Foley. Both title matches and the ending angle are worth watching, the rest is pretty much skippable."

[5.0] "This is really a two match show, but those two matches are definitely worth watching. Douglas, Janetty, Benoit, Douglas and Tazz all manage to balance wrestling and brawling in an entertaining way, and Sabu can't spoil that in his match. The rest of the show is nothing special, with the main event being there far more to set up an angle than to be an actual match."

[5.0] "One of those 50/50 events from ECW's earlier years. Nothing of note happened in the first three matches. Cool to see Hector Guerrero in ECW, in a decent match. The Rotten brothers had pretty vicious war at the time and this played to both their strengths. At this point the event started to get interesting. Hey, Marty Jannetty in ECW. Who saw that coming? Nicely paced match that I consider an underrated gem in the ECW library. Jannetty was awesome and had the crowd fired up, and Douglas continued to be his great self that is well deserving of that ECW title. Technical wrestling classic that would turn into a brawl as it went on. Highly recommended. Tag title match was a fun and wild brawl. Bit hard to keep up with at times but it has some good spots and was enjoyable overall. Another good match on this show. Disappointing main event closes the show. Nothing worth watching other than the obvious return of Terry Funk. The mystery opponent was highly ineffective, but the alliance between Funk and the Sandman should be interesting going forward, with Shane Douglas also standing against them. Handful of enjoyable matches, but the rest were of no importance, and the main event was all angle."

[6.0] "As ECW shows go, a trio of strong matches made this a decent one to watch. Ian and Axl Rotten had perhaps their best match ever, one of the better, and bloodiest brawls in the ECW Arena. The ECW world title match between Shane Douglas and Marty Jannetty is an unsung classic, a genuinely great match that has been completely overlooked. And the tag team title match was a really dramatic contest, that, like the world title match, has fallen into unfortunate obscurity."

[6.0] "A decent enough show where ECW had just started to find its identity. Only the title matches are particularly good but there's a lot going on throughout the card that set up intriguing future matches."
