[3.0] "It's the final hoorah before the tournament in Dayton, so it's really just a showcase episode anyway. The Steiners prove this right off the bat in a very conventional fashion. Breaking news from Albany: without TV cameras present, the Heartbreak Kid has reclaimed his belt, turning his upcoming PPV match against Crush into a title match. Complete with his new bodyguard. Ramon gets teased by the Hitman and therefore plays it safe with Bert Centeno. Luger and Duggan make statements, the latter also with a match. Yokozuna is even there live, but just as tight-lipped. The Undertaker doesn't have a match at the PPV, but he still has the Giant from the Andes on his tail, who's getting support from Wippleman's newest protégé, Mr. Hughes. Mean Gene rattles off the KotR card one last time, then it's on to the final match. Oh, and Mo & Mable get their first clip. At the end of said final match, the Steiners have a moment to tell Money Inc. what they really want, and the match at the PPV is just a stepping stone to the gold. Hype okay, matches not so much."

[4.0] "Not an exciting go-home show for KOTR, but still an adequate effort. Bland build for the most part. There's a very intriguing 'Taker urn angle here but it never led to anything significant. Squash of the night: The Steiners."
