[8.0] "This was a really good show. Only two matches here with the tag title match crammed in at the end, but they was both very entertaining. The long awaited Hogan vs Andre rematch ended with a controversial finish where the referee was paid off and awarded Andre the title. Andre handed the title to Ted DiBiase and then the real Dave Hebner shows up exposing the big ruse. The match itself was very entertaining and it was fun watching how everything plays out. Its still crazy to me this was the only time Andre had ever been the champion. Savage vs Honky Tonk was also an enjoyable IC title match."

[6.0] "A fairly fast-paced show, written around the two big rivalries of the moment, with the promotion's main titles at stake. The in-ring action isn't technically top-notch, but the impact of well-told stories is palpable. This is the case in the Savage/HTM match, but especially after the match between André and Hogan. The match itself isn't that great, but the segment following that messed-up fall must have been incredible at the time. In-ring quality: 2.75/5. Non-match angles and segments: 1/3. Bonus/Malus: none. Total: 5.75/10. Show seen on WWE Network."

[7.0] "Huge historical moment in wrestling moment in wrestling history most known for the rematch between Hogan and Andre. Not only noteworthy for Andre winning the title and then surrendering it to Ted DiBiase literally 2 minutes later, but also for the double Dave Hebner moment definitely made this an all-timer."

[8.0] "This show was legendary. From the twin referee angle to Ted Dibiase walking out with the world title, just entertaining from start to finish. All of the Hulkamaniacs were devastated that night. But Savage would win the title at Wrestlemania, so it all led to something great."

[8.0] "I honestly think this is a really good show, and a great start for these specials titled The Main Event. This is a very historical show for having a Hogan/Andre match and the massive ratings that brought to the brand at the time. A decent IC title match with a lot of shenanigans also takes place on this show; Randy gets some decent stuff out of HTM. The tag match at the end is also quite good, but is annoyingly cut off. This one is very important and significant to how Mania 4 shapes up."

[2.0] "This show was infort of the bigest tv audince in wwf history. could the fed bring them a good show to watch. The first match was honky vs savge in a match that had like 3 spota and took 12 years. Not a fan(3/10) The post match was nice. Hogan vs andre was not the worst match those 2 could have but godam that finish. That finish and hogan's 10000 hours of bitchig about it just killed the show (1/10) And then in case you did not allrady dislike this show it turns out that we have gone long so we cant see the tag match. What a disater show 2 outa 10 and its only not a one cos im a sucker for macho man x liz stuff. Mvp's ware the 2 tag teams cos they did not have the time to make me wana cry."

[5.0] "For historical purposes check it out. But there wasn't a whole lot stuff here worth watching more than once."

[8.0] "Great show, I honestly enjoyed it a lot. Sure, the wrestling is not the best in any way, shape or form, but every match has tremendous heat and the crowd is into each and every wrestler involved in this event. I wasn't a fan of Hogan's bitching after the loss, which went on FOREVER, but I loved everything about it apart from that."

[7.0] "Andre vs. Hogan is actually my match of the night, a pretty good in ring performance you might not expect. Really dug the story of Hogan being wary of trying to slam Andre again, as he was almost pinned the last time he did it, and instead going for a lot of running strikes to take him down, but turns out it's really hard to knock down a mountain that away. The evil twin referee switch is pretty goofy, but still it was a huge shock to see Hogan lose the belt at all and the whole scene with DiBiase is crazy."

[8.0] "Randy Savage vs. Honky Tonk Man - 8/10... bonus point for the end result with Savage carrying Elizabeth. Andre the Giant vs. Hulk Hogan - 7/10... the match itself isn't anything special but all of the pandemonium that ensued following the match is significant and entertaining."

[6.0] "An important event. In-ring it's pretty ordinary, but The Main Event is a vibrant 40-minute slice of 80s WWF at its peak. Best remembered for the crazy title change with all its smoke and mirrors. This was different from the Saturday Night Main Event shows as it was situated right in network prime time. The rating and viewership for this show set records for American televised wrestling, but it wasn't significantly higher than their Saturday specials in the late-night time slot. Actually Meltzer predicted it would be much higher. When it wasn't, Meltzer suggested there was a definite 'cap' on the potential audience for the WWF as a result. He was right, they never hit this milestone again."

[7.0] "Important edition with three matches for the titles. Randy Savage vs Honky Tonk Man is a nice opener, they knew how to tell a story. Hulk Hogan vs André rematch isn't a good match but it's relevant with the title change after many years. I don't like the decision to have Hogan lose it in that way and without a new champion. The main event is short. To see for the World title change."
