[7.0] "A good way to open the PPV. Furnas and Lafon were a good tag team in Japan, but they never amounted to much in the WWF unfortunately. But this was a good way to start them out, even if they did drop the ball down the line."
[4.0] "A fine traditional Survivor Series tag-team match that was hindered by bad wrestlers getting more time than they needed and the awkward overuse of the distracted referee trope. Any time one of Owen, Davey, LaFon or Phineas weren't in the ring, the match really dragged along, but when they were the last four remaining it really picked up and made you wish this was just a normal tag-team match all along."
[8.0] "Impactful debut from Furnas and LeFon getting the upset win on the Tag Champs on their debut and it was certainly a good showcase for them as their offense looked unique and they also faced a disadvantage when they was down 3 on 2 at one point. Once it gets to the 2 best teams in the match Furnas and LaFon vs Owen and Davey, things do really pick up and it becomes a great technical match. JR taking shots at Havey Wippleman on commentary was really funny as well."
[6.0] "It was so so for the first half, but once Owen and Bulldog were left in the ring with Furnas and LaFon it really picked up the speed and they made me wish that it was a normal Tag Team Match since the beginning. LaFon showed some nice selling and impressive moves, while Furnas had one of the best hot tags I've ever seen and rightfully picked up the win. Pleasant surprise."
[7.0] "Nachdem der Ballast eliminiert ist, entwickelt sich hier ein technisch anspruchsvolles und spannendes Elimination-Tag der klassischen Sorte. Furnas und LaFon bestätigten die Vorschusslorbeeren aus Japan und liefern sich besonders mit Davey und Owen einen offenen Schlagabtausch. In meinen Augen wesentlich besser, als es hier bei vielen wegkommt."
[5.0] "This was a cluster fuck until we got down to the 2 best teams in the match. Furnas & Lafon are an underrated tag team and they showed how great they are here."
[6.0] "Absolut solides Match mit ein paar gut gemachten Eliminations. Es gab hier die Signatures und ein Unerwartetes Finish. Das war schon mehr als in Ordnung"
[7.0] "This was a fun elimination match that avoided a lot of the usual Survivor Series match issues (except the Henry Godwinn elimination to a spin kick). The Godwinns didnt do much but Phineas had a couple fun power moments before they got eliminated. Jannetty and Cassidy were both fun as the obnoxious goofballs of their team and Cassidy especially had some nice moments of toughness that I didnt expect him to show here and some really nice clotheslines. Once the match got down to the Furnas/LaFon/Owen/Bulldog it really picked up and the crowd started getting into it. The ending established Furnas & LaFon as contenders for the tag titles and they stood out as unique compared to everyone else in the match with their unique mix of suplexes and strikes. The ending also felt important with the debuting team getting a win and, even if it didnt play out this way, it felt like there were big plans for Furnas and LaFon. ***1/2"
[6.0] "JR still taking shots at McMahon at this point. We got evil Leif Cassidy here, starting to transition to Al Snow in looks. JR bashes Jannetty who is still acting like a moron and this would be his last WWF ppv. Henry tries roping Jannetty but his leg gives out, possible legit injury? Or he's just screwing up? Henry hits the slop drop and Jannetty is gone. Owen runs in and pops Henry with the spin wheel kick and pins him. Phineos gets "riled up" but Bulldog sends him packing just under a minute later with a power slam. Furnas and Lafon against Owen/Bulldog and Cassidy. JR is having a fit that new referee Harvey Whippleman isn't doing dick about the heels cheating. Furnas gets beat up as the heels tag in and out on him. Cassidy sends Furnas into the corner but misses the charge and hits the corner, hot tag to Lafon and he puts Cassidy up top and just splatters him with a reverse vertical suplex and gets an easy pin. Bulldog takes over on Lafon, giving him a sky high drop. Owen in, a falling neck breaker and a second rope elbow drop gets two. Bulldog in and Lafon tries fighting back but Davey kicks him in the nuts. Owen and Bulldog try a double clothesline but during the rope run Owen gets pulled out and Lafon gets a crucifix pin on Davey to send him packing. Owen works over Lafons left leg, specifically the hamstring. Furnas hot tags and almost sidelines Owen with a release german suplex that almost breaks his neck. Furnas gets the pin and his team survives. Good opener."
[6.0] "The debut here of Furnas and LaFon, who had had success in Japan but never really made it in America. They were talented wrestler but got lost in the shuffle here. The Godwinns were predictably awful, the New Rockers predictably average until Marty hurt his knee, and Owen and the Bulldog could have done this in their sleep - I'm not entirely sure Davey Boy wasn't half asleep to be honest. It wasn't a bad match, Survivor Series matches rarely are as there's always something happening, but it wasn't particularly exciting either."
[6.0] "Unterhaltsames Match, was mit der Zeit besser wird. Simple Heel-Team gegen Face-Team Story und durchwegs solides Wrestling. Die Eliminationen sind gut verteilt, was immer neuen Schwung reinbringt. Furnas und LaFon sind die letzten beiden, um erstmal gut dazustehen(***1/4)."
[8.0] "Sehr cooles Survivor Series Match. Die wrestlerisch schwächsten Leute - ein verletzter Jannetty und die Godwinns - werden recht schnell aus dem Match genommen und danach gibt es richtig feines Tag Team Wrestling mit einigen schönen Moves besonders von Owen und den zwei verbliebenen Faces."
[9.0] "More impressive than expected, especially in the finishing stretch where the match just gets great. Owen and Furnas going at it in the final moments is simply awesome. Good order of elimination as well, helped the match build as it went on. Furnas and LaFon are practically forgotten now but they shouldn't be, they are really excellent."
[7.0] "Das hat spätestens als nur noch LaFon/Furnas und Hart/Bulldog dabei waren richtig Spaß gemacht und auch vorher war das mehr als erträglich. Als Opener perfekt und das beste Elimination Match des Abends."
[7.0] "Guter Opener mit verhaltenem Beginn. Nachdem die beiden Jobber Tag Teams raus waren wurde es aber richtig gut. LaFon und Furnas haben ein verdammt starkes Debüt und dann dürfen eine Menge zeigen. Auch OWen und der Bulldog sind gut aufgelegt und so entwickelt sich ein durchaus hochklassiges Match. Hat definitiv Spaß gemacht und war sehr viel besser als ich erwartet habe."
[5.0] "Opener beginnt recht zäh, wurde gegen Ende hin in Ordnung. LaFon und Furnas überzeugen hier durchaus. Jedoch waren da wieder - typisch für Survivor Series's aus der Zeit - einige unglaubwürdige Finishes dabei... Insgesamt okay (** 1/2)."
[5.0] "It was a long match, but not a good one. The disparity between the two teams showed a focus on the Face team, which was technically worse. Owen Hart and British Bulldog had a great performance, but they deserved to get a better result. The ending is okay but it did not satisfy me. A bit more than adequate. **1/2"
[5.0] "Aus damaliger (mit 13 Jahren) ein glücklicher Jubelsieg für das unbekannte Tag Team, heute weiss man, dass man mehr geplant hatte, was man (leider? ) nie so ganz durchsetzen konnte. Im Nachhinein ein Sieg der einen großen Push andeutete und außer eine interessante Randnotiz den beiden wohl eher schadete als nutzte!"
[7.0] "Ein wirklich unterhaltsamer Beginn eines starken PPV's. Furnas und LaFon haben dieses Match ohne Frage getragen, unterstützt von Owen und Bulldog, die hier auch eine gute Leistung zeigten. Die ersten 15 Minuten waren mir etwas zu langsam, aber die letzten 10 Minuten waren wirklich sehr gut und ziehen die Wertung ziemlich weit nach oben. Das beste Survivor Series Match ohne Zweifel an diesem Abend. *** 1/2"
[6.0] "Etwas mauer Beginn, in der Tat ging es bergauf als nur noch die Tag Team-Champions und Furnas und LaFon im Ring waren, die letzten Minuten sind sehenswert."
[5.0] "Ein Tag Match zwischen Furnas/LaFon gegen Bulldog/Owen wäre sicherlich besser gewesen, denn mit den anderen 4 beteiligten wird das Match nur abgewertet (außer vielleicht Jannetty), aber das Match wirkt wirklich nicht so stark durch die anderen. Und außerdem gibt es viel bessere Matches, 5 Punkte. Einzig Positiver Aspekt: Furnas/LaFon wurden etabliert, aber das Momentum nutzte nichts.."
[4.0] "Solider Beginn eines durchschnittlichen PPVs. Von den meisten dieser Athleten war sicherlich mehr zu erwarten. Rating fällt meines Erachtens 1/4* zu hoch aus."
