[6.0] "There's definitely an improvement with the wrestling matches here with Rock/Nation vs Shamrock/Ahmed, Shawn vs Owen and Taka vs Tajiri all being worth a watch. The stuff with Austin interfering in two of the matches got a huge crowd reaction. This also had the debut of the New Age Outlaws and also had a notable heel turn from Marc Mero because of his jealous of Sable's popularity. Kane attacks Dude Love this week, which starts his first major feud that isn't with The Undertaker. DX have a funny moment where there sat on the stage holding up signs "Who Booked This Crap? ". Ironic that in the very next segment there's an atrocious storyline angle where the Hart Foundation are presumably framed trashing the Nation of Dominination's locker room and defacing the walls with racist graffiti! The context with the Bret Hart vs Faarooq match and the brawling outside is pretty awful because of it. Jeff Jarrett's shoot promo makes way too many insider references a lot of fans wouldn't get!"

[7.0] "The Jeff Jarrett promo where he šshootsš on the top stars of the WWF was rather interesting. New Age outlaws team up for the 1st time. Stone Cold just randomly interfering in matches every week is cool. Owen/Shawn was good, and Tajiri/Taka managed to have a good match in just about 3 minutes."

[8.0] "A very angle heavy show with the in ring work mostly being an afterthought. As far as the matches are concerned, the opener, Shawn/Owen and Tajiri/Taka are all worth watching. Jarrett's shoot promo is very entertaining."

[7.0] "Not the most interesting episode in my opinion. It has some cool moments like return of Jeff Jarrett, first match of New Age Outlaws as a team and another promo from Jim Cornette but other part of the show is just continuetions of feuds with nothing new. Even DX are not that entertaining this time."
