[6.0] "Hogan's OP booking is front and center of this show where its becoming more and more obvious that Savage is playing second fiddle to him despite being the next contender and his match against Meng main evented over a Sting v Flair World Title match. Ridiculous! Savage losing for a fourth time against Luger was just poor booking and set up Hogan's insufferable 'I deserve a title shot more than you, brother' rant later in the show. Sting vs Flair was by a mile the best thing on this show and it ended up with Lex Luger costing Sting the match with it up in the air as to weather it was an accident. I like the storyline with them. Theres a big segment where AA tries to resolve the Horseman's feud with Dungeon of Doom peacefully as the two factions appeared to be in an alliance and Public Enemy get a sick table spot in their debut match in WCW. It's still a watchable show, but the storylines are much weaker than when it focuses on the wrestling."

[3.0] "Nitro returns to being pretty low-quality. Only 2 matches here got over 5 minutes, but at least 1 of those was the 'work-rate' match which was pretty decent. Savage vs Luger wasn't awful but it definitely wasn't at all interesting. Both men had very generic offences while playing their very black-and-white respective face and heel roles. Pretty anticlimactic for Luger to quickly cut off Savage's comeback and then simply hit the Torture Rack for the win. **. The Horsemen and the Dungeon of Doom establishing a truce was interesting, but I really hope the latter don't drag the former down to their low, low level. Pillman getting on Arn's nerves was cool, and I'd definitely like to see them face off. Public Enemy vs American Males was a messy brawl with noticeable incoordination for their more 'complex' (yet still really basic) exchanges. Not a remotely decent match, but too short to rate. NR. The post-match double table spot was decent, but took quite a while to set up. Flair vs Sting was one of their standard matches with all the same spots they always hit. Flair's chops and other strikes all looked good, and Sting showed decent energy in his more athletic attacks, but there wasn't much else to this. They started to properly impress as they picked up the pace and went for some quicker and more convincing pin attempts, and Flair's cowardly and goofy heel-selling was just at that sweet spot where it was really entertaining without coming off overly obnoxious. Luger accidentally hitting Sting in the corner was well executed where it wasn't exactly clear if he intended to do that or not, continuing the mystery surrounding whether Luger had already secretly turned on Sting to cement his full heel turn or not. A shame about the interference finish, but I moderately enjoyed their work before that. ***. The post-match confrontation between Sting and Hogan + Savage was alright, and I'm hoping that it FINALLY kickstarts a proper Sting-vs-Luger feud after all this teasing. Hogan then came off as really inconsiderate and dick-ish as he harshly criticised Savage for his earlier loss to Luger and once again moaned about being the 'rightful' world champion who deserved to have the title, again showing that Hogan has no clue how to play a real babyface. Despite having a WCW World Heavyweight Title match on this show, Hogan still managed to get the main-event to himself despite having a far less interesting match-up with far less stakes as he took on Meng. The match was the usual Hogan BS, with him getting eaten up by his far-more-impressive monster opponent before doing one of his signature lame and forced hulk-ups and running through his moves of doom. His finish was at least different by using Taskmaster's spike against Meng (yet another relatively un-babyface-like spot from Hogan, of course), but otherwise this was an exact copy of every Hogan match ever. Obviously not a good performance, but too short to rate. NR. Lame way to end the show."

[6.0] "Not the best episode of Nitro in this era, though not bad either. I really liked the promo between the Horsemen and the Dungeon, and Hogan trying to cast suspicion on everyone else was kind of funny. Flair/Sting might look like the best match on paper but if you've seen one you've seen them all, I preferred Luger/Savage as match of the night. Public Enemy match wasn't much but really cool table spot after the match."

[5.0] "This is not a good episode, the card is interesting but both match quality and promo are not enough to recommend the episode. I like how intense it gets between the top stars (Savage, Hogan, Sting and Luger), but apart from them there is nothing impressive this time and they seem slow 50 minutes of the episode. The debut of Public Enemy does not work and the match is bad."
