Kevin Nash & Scott Hall vs. Ric Flair & Roddy Piper

[7.0] "This was an awesome match with eveyone involved delivering. Some excellent spots here like Nash hitting Flair with the big boot off the apron and Flair and Piper showing why their the dirtiest players in the game with "well placed" elbows and eye pokes haha. A whole lot of entertainment here heh."

[6.0] "The first main event (they say). Starpower is at its peak. The match begins, Syxx intervenes, Flair goes after him and never returns. They beat Piper. The end."

[6.0] "Ric Flair was the best! I never get tired of going back in time to visit any of his matches outside of that last match. He had a great performance here before he jettisoned the match to chase Syxx to the back and left Piper alone to get beat. Piper puts up a scrappy fight, but can't overcome the odds."

[5.0] "I was sure they were building to Flair eventually coming back and clearing the house, meanwhile it just... ended. Really anticlimactic, but at least up to that point they did a very good job, especially when it comes to working the crowd, as fans were really loud for both babyfaces."

[6.0] "Crowd seemed into the match. Roddy hot tag was really well done but Hall's facial and body reaction to it was a little contrived. When Flair took out Syxx was fun but 100% should have been a DQ. Before Flair left this was a really good match and Piper showed good fire without Flair."

[6.0] "Ignoring the fact that the way they got Flair out made him look real dumb, this was very decent. It has four big stars the crowd are hyped for which always helps. Once down to 2 on 1, Piper shows good heart and determination but he is old and the Outsiders are stronger and more powerful and it is only a matter of time."

[6.0] "I actually liked this match, for what it was. It was mostly happening to build tension between Flair and Piper, more than any real consequences to the Outsiders, and it serves that story well."

[4.0] "A punch-kick affair with good heat. Piper is immobile and stiff as a board but doesn't ruin the match. Flair chases Syxx to the back and doesn't come back out. The numbers advantage leads to the outsiders pinning Piper. It was more about the story than the match but there wasn't much story either. Ric Flair's brief involvement was the best part of this and bumps my score slightly up."

[3.0] "I HATED THIS THING! Flair and Hall start. Flair controls it and the crowd seems to be pro WCW tonight. Nash tags in and mocks the Flair strut. Nash beats on Flair who hot tags Piper who goes nuts and puts the sleeper on Hall. Nash argues with the ref and Hall crotches Piper to break it. Syxx interferes and it all goes to hell as Flair chases him to the back and never returns. Piper is stuck in a glorified squash handicap match. He shows guts but Hall inevitably gets the outsiders edge for the pin. Piper would rightfully be pissed at Flair who would be forced to go heel then they would battle next month with Piper leaving after that micro feud and Flair going face again. Lousy booking."

[4.0] "More story than match, which isn't really ideal for a title match on a PPV. Flair disappeared part way through chasing Syxx, leaving Piper to fend for himself. It just didn't really work."

[4.0] "It's fine, and really just that. Infamously, Piper went into business for himself and messed up the flow of the match, though the Trios match form the past PPV was far better."

[5.0] "A passable match that definitely could have been a lot worse, considering who was involved. I think '97 Hall was still pretty good, and '97 Flair could be quite good as well at times, so their interactions are best here."
