[7.0] "A main event match that actually delivers, while not the best ever its still decent for a tv main. Enjoyed the storytelling, Shawn's selling was believable and not over the top ridiculous like when he wanted to rib guys. Good athleticism by Sid here and he looks like a proper monster and heel. Finish felt a bit abrupt but made Sid look strong."
[6.0] "This was a solid match. This is the first televised match between Shawn Michaels and Sid, and while this was the weakest of their trilogy, it was still a fun enough TV match. Both men showed some great fire here, we even saw Sid do a kip up at one point which is something I've never seen him do in other matches I've watched with him. The finish was a tad anti-climactic, but this was good for what it was. **3/4"
[7.0] "I thought this match was pretty good with Shawn Michaels trying to defeat the ever large Sid Vicious despite his size disadvantage. This was fun for the most part and told a classic wrestling story of overcoming the impossible odds. 7/10"
[6.0] "A fun little main event. Shawn and Bret are easily the most outstanding wrestlers in 1995. They can get a good match out of anyone when they're at the best, which they are at this point in time."
[4.0] "Den beiden seriösen Partien der Series 1996 und dem Rumble 1997 vorweg genommen, ist das hier eher eine spürbar schwächere Geschichte. Sid hat kaum Workrate, Michaels keine Motivation, den blonden Miesepeter über Gebühr strahlen zu lassen. Somit ist das eher das Einlösen eines an Sid gegebenen Versprechens auf niedrigster Garstufe. Knapp okay."
[6.0] "normal match. Michael was the main dragger, Sid tried not to spoil the picture. You can put 6/10. It doesn? t pull much to defend the title, but let it be."
[6.0] "Not a patch on their Survivor Series match but still surprisingly good. Shawn's selling was enjoyable as always, and he puts in a good courageous babyface performance. It taking three superkicks to knock down the big man is a nice touch and makes for an exciting finish."
