[5.0] "An event with few highlights, a lot of squashes and the secondary commentary team. On the version uploaded to the Vault they add back some matches that weren't on the original tape, including the hennig match with the modern commentary done for the Mr. Perfect DVD. The world title match is the clear highlight here and Hogan/Andre is more decent than their other big matches. Its more of a fun watch than Wrestlemania or Survivor Series from that year in my opinion but still a mixed bag. Ratings: Boss Man vs. Scott Casey (3/10) Beefcake vs. Hercules (4/10) The Rougeaus vs. The Killer Bees (6/10) Bad News Brown vs. Bret Hart (6/10) The Honky Tonk Man vs. Jim Duggan (2/10) The Powers of Pain vs. The Bolsheviks (4/10) Jim Neidhart vs. Lanny Poffo (4/10) Randy Savage vs. Ted DiBiase (8/10) Curt Hennig vs. Terry Taylor (4/10) Jake Roberts vs. Rick Rude (5/10) Sam Houston vs. Haku (5/10) Ultimate Warrior vs. Bobby Heenan (3/10) Demolition vs. The British Bulldogs (6/10) Ken Patera vs. Dino Bravo (4/10) Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant (6/10)"

[7.0] "This is a solid show, especially since it was a Collisium video exclusive. It was a well put together card highlighting some of the biggest feuds of the era and the visuals are pretty unique with the use of the baseball stadium. It featured Hogan v Andre in the classic blue steel cage in the last match of their feud and it was probably the best match they had together. Macho Man vs Ted DiBiase was also a solid rematch from their WrestleMania IV and although it didn't go to a satisfying finish Jake Roberts vs Rick Rude was also a big improvement on their disappointing WrestleMania IV match. There was a couple of solid matches in the tag team division with The Rougeaus vs Killer Bees as well as Demolition vs Bulldogs and there was also some hidden gems like Bret Hart vs Bad News Brown and King Haku vs Houston and it it was cool to see the lost Curt Hennig vs Terry Taylor dark match restored before either of them got their best known character gimmicks. Even Beefcake vs Hercules was a better match than I expected. There was a few too many matches which lead to a lot of the matches being cut short as well as some strange editing where one match is over and then it goes to the next one where it's already just started."

[4.0] "A rather indigestible show with many matches, most of them uninteresting, and few memorable moments. The high-stakes matches somewhat redeemed the evening, but that's debatable. And the few decent matches, like the tag team match between the Rougeau brothers and the Killer Bees, were ultimately quite short. In-ring quality: 2/5. Angles and out-of-match segments: 0/3. Bonus/penalty: none. Total: 4/10. Show viewed on the WWE Vault YouTube channel."

[7.0] "I remember going to a local toy show around 2002 and a guy was running a table that had new old stock of WWF home videos and I found this gem! I loved what we got on the home video release EXCEPT.......they cut quite a few matches to squeeze it in and it was a travesty that they cut the Savage/Dibiase match from the VHS release! At least 2 other matches got cut as well for time constraints and it wasn't until Youtube came along and somebody uploaded the rest."

[6.0] "Although this was a year or two before my time, it is full of wrestlers I watched when I first got into wrestling so I just have a lot of nostalgia which helps this show along. Fucking awful commentary helps drag a lot of the action down though."

[5.0] "A fifteen match card could've been reduced to a more reasonable number as some of the matches felt rushed and I don't think that what amounted to a bunch of squashes needed to be there. The highlight of the show was unsurprisingly Savage vs DiBiase, though Hogan and Andre had one of their best outings due to the addition of the classic WWF blue cage."

[7.0] "A fun show at a big baseball stadium with lots of matches. Despite the setting and high attendance this isn't a particularly important show for the WWF in the scheme of things. It was neither on PPV or a TV taping, but was released in edited form on Coliseum video at a later date. The highlights here include a very good opening match between the Rougeaus and the Killer Bees, the Rougeuas were a highly entertaining heel act at this point. We get yet another good Savage/DiBiase match and then probably the best version of Andre/Hogan you will find. It's a super underrated brawl with a classic old-school layout: heel rule-breaking, heat segment, blood, fiery comeback, satisfying conclusion. It's also notable because it's Hogan's return to the ring since he left a couple of months prior to film his movie."
