[4.0] "Meh, nothing stands out so far at this PPV. It wasn't bad, but I just didn't care at all. The action wasn't that exciting and the build was almost nonexistent, apart from the Mankind thing. Mero performing a beautiful Shooting Star Press was definitely a highlight, but nothing else caught my eye."
[4.0] "I didn't find myself engaged in this match as much as I should have been. That all changed when Mero hit a fucking SHOOTING STAR PRESS toward the end. Please, Goldust turn face already so we can stop the overused heel tactics in every match."
[6.0] "Mark Mero and Goldust did good ring work here. Honestly a good undercard match for 1996 WWF standards. Goldust doing gay panic stuff is super awful, but it's a good reminder how much better we are towards queer folk overall than we were in the 90s even if we have a long ways to go."
[5.0] "Diese Partie hat im Grunde alles, was eine solide Leistung rechtfertigen könnte. Stattdessen verschleppen die beiden aber das Tempo und man wird das Gefühl nicht los, dass der einstmals so talentiert agierende Dustin Rhodes aktuell alle Energie in den Charakter steckt, und nicht mehr in seine Matchqualität. Mero kann damit kaum umgehen und rettet die Partie dennoch knapp auf fünf Punkte."
[6.0] "Am Anfang war es sehr methodisch, dann kam irgendwann der komische Auftritt von Mankind und dann wurde es recht gut anzusehen. Mero zeigte einige spektakuläre Aktionen. Das Finish war etwas low"
[4.0] "Well, Goldust isn't wrestling Undertaker for a change so that's something. Mero carries the match to something not terrible and Goldust didn't really get better until later on. Mankind shows up to freak out Sable."
[6.0] "The story here was more important than the match, with Goldust showing interest in Sable, and Mankind coming out to stalk her as well. The match was fine, and did a good job of showing Mero's ability despite him losing."
[4.0] "Hat sich schon etwas gezogen und war auch eine relativ uninteressante Paarung. Mero zeigt ein paar coole Moves und das waren so ziemlich die Highlights. Alles andere war zwar nicht schlecht, aber einfach nicht gut genug für ein Match bei Summerslam(**1/4)."
[5.0] "Average match by two solid midcard wrestlers that should have been able to have a better match on this stage. The Shooting Star Press by Mero was a fresh move in WWE at that point and really stood out as impressive for him. Solid stuff **1/2"
