[7.0] "The match as a match is good but not anything out of this world. It's worth watching though for Jericho going for an 11 on the Muta scale. As is typical of Southern-style wrestling, the finish is overbooked in a way that wasn't necessary to get across what they wanted to show (that Jericho wasn't willing to stop fighting despite his condition)."
[9.0] "I had minimal expectations coming into this but good lord, this was an epic bloodbath with Jericho just spurting all over the place, good heavens. That's the kind of stuff I love so yeah, that's great stuff in my book."
[9.0] "Crazy match, and a real breakout performance for Chris Jericho, who would go on to establish himself as a future star to watch in an incredible, bloody performance with a broken arm. Really fun watch, and Jericho's the star here."
[6.0] "Pretty amazing Jericho works this with a broken arm. Excellent work from the bodies in covering this up and making Jericho look good. This means that his comeback is pretty awkward and funny. Jericho bleeds a fucking gallon and it's honestly too much for this match. Camera misses the finish unfortunately."
[7.0] "Considering both the notoriety of this match and the easily available footage, I am genuinely surprised this match only has one rating so far. Jericho had broken his arm earlier in the day and while at the hospital they had given him blood thinners. When he bladed here, he bled absolute buckets. It turned what was a pretty humdrum affair into a quite brilliant yet uncomfortable experience. The ref was covered in his blood for the rest of the night."
