[7.0] "Obviously Warlord is a very stiff worker but Bulldog gets the best out of him and bumps admirably. That final stretch of him breaking out of the full Nelson and that huge pop for the slam was a genuinely excellent finish."

[4.0] "One of many, many, many, many, many (sigh) many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many matches between Bulldog and Warlord. This feud dragged on all the way past Survivor Series 91 and they were almost all the same. Not the worst roidy magoo matches I have seen, but they were just show filler."

[7.0] "About as good a match as you could possibly expect out of a Warlord singles match, so it does score some points there for being a high point for him. It is crazy how long this feud got dragged out over 1991, but this match is a neat little curiosity."

[6.0] "[2.75*] The Irresistible Force meets the Immovable Object! Man, what a fun hoss battle. Powerhouse vs Powerhouse with some pretty damn cool power moves and also a fun little story about who's the strongest of them. At the end, Bulldog escaped the Full Nelson and won with a Powerslam, proving his strength. Warlord kicking out after the 3 count was a fun bit too. Really liked it!"

[6.0] "Two powerhouses going at it. Liked the shoulder block spot for showing that Warlord might be stronger but Bulldog combines power and strength. Match told a good story with the unbeatable full Nelson being broken by Bulldog. Overall it was a solid match"

[6.0] "When Davey Boy is on, he's on. Even up against the stiffest of stiffs in Warlord who doesn't have the best track record of watchable singles matches, Bulldog works a fast pace around all the limitations and it results in something shockingly decent. The crowd ate it all up and the Running Powerslam finish looked awesome."

[5.0] "This match told a good story, despite the uninspiring talent in the ring, at least on the heel side. Bulldog looked good here, and I didn't hate Warlord as much as I usually do for his singles stuff."

[6.0] "**3/4 (5.5/10) It wasn't long, but when you have fourteen matches on the card, and just a few hours it's hard to get half the matches over ten minutes. It may have been to its advantage, honestly. Bulldog matches are notorious for dragging with rest holds, but this wasn't thG, and the crowd was nuts for every second of it. Not typically a good match, but it wasn't bad either, and more fun than not."

[7.0] "The British Bulldog returns to face The Warlord of the Opera. Warlord has this weird Phantom mask now that he's a singles guy and I never understood what it was supposed to be. Anyway, this is a better-than-expected power match between two bigger guys. Davey Boy has with him a Mathilda replacement named Winston and wins with a power slam."
JennyOmega wrote on 08.07.2024:
"A match that wasnt much of a match at all. A draw out test of strength between two muscle men to see who can apply the dreaded (lol) full nelson headlock. These two were never going to set the world on fire, but the gimmick, silly as it is, probably helped the match. A short spectacle. 2.75*/6"

[8.0] "British Bulldog and The Warlord are two of the strongest wrestlers on the roster so you could be forgiven for expecting a slow match with just standard brawling. However, these two guys were up for it and it's a much faster and exciting match than you would expect"

[7.0] "This was a really good power battle, as both wrestlers played their respective roles well and the wrestling was solid. The match told an enjoyable story with the nimbler Smith finally showing at the end that he was a power match with The Warlord as well, leading to the satisfying clean finish to please the crowd."
KingsCrossing wrote on 10.03.2024:
[7.0] "Hell, I thought this was really good. It was surprisingly fast and explosive considering who was involved, and had some fairly impressive displays of power. The crowd was hot, too. This was much better than I expected it to be, and about as good as it possibly could have been. If you're a fan of seeing heavyweights collide then this is a cut above a lot of what you'd see in similar matches during this era."

[9.0] "I loved this match! I went into it with zero expectations, but admittedly I didn't expect much. I was quickly reminded of just how impressive Davey Boy was at this point in his career (when he's sober). The story going into the match is that the Warlord has a devastating hold that no one can escape from. He calls it: The Full Nelson! Uncreative name aside, Warlord is perhaps the most jacked guy on the roster in terms of sheer muscular size, so it is believable that this hold would be difficult to break. The match starts as a hoss fight with Davey and Warlord slamming into each other and trading clubbing blows. But it's soon apparent that Warlord is the stronger and heavier, so Bulldog has to switch up his strategy and rely on technique and his slight speed advantage. At one point, we even see the rolling pin reversal that Davey would use on Bret, but Warlord kicks out. Warlord manages to get the upper hand and locks in the Full Nelson. I felt the tension of the crowd and to be honest I was just as tense! Gorilla and Heenan do a great job putting the moment over, arguing over whether or not Warlord has his fingers fully locked and if Bulldog could break free. Davey does an excellent job selling here. The crowd erupts when Davey breaks free from the hold! A shocked Warlord can't believe it. Soon after, Davey hoists up Warlord for the Running Power Slam, which looked very impressive especially on the bump. Excellent match for those that can appreciate a hoss fight."

[4.0] "This match is pretty much what'd you expect when you see these two on paper with maybe a few surprises thrown in. Some nice displays of power and some big slams, but also a lot of rest holds for a decently short match. Considering how many times these guys work each other this year, their matches tend to blend together. All in all, this is a serviceable match that does what you'd expect it to do, but doesn't punch above its weight class, either."

[4.0] "This was surprisingly fine considering the Warlord was here. I shit on the Powers of Pain a lot but I did enjoy them more as singles in the ring; I was so sour from their tag run that they both still had some go away heat with me though. A solid win here for the British Bulldog who I believe had returned not long prior to this."

[7.0] "What a nice, fun little match it was. Two big guys going at each other with Davey Boy being a joy to watch. They did some impressive moves, kept the action fast paced and smooth, while also kept working the crowd. Warlord has great facials and is magnificent as a heel big guy and Bulldog was phenomenal with his crowd work in the last minutes. Not too long, just the perfect length for this kind of match."

[5.0] "Surprisingly decent given how boring the Warlord is, he nearly put me to sleep with that full nelson hold let alone the Bulldog. Nothing mind blowing but it told a good enough story and was very over with the crowd. **3/4"

[6.0] "Holy crap now this is what I call a surprise! Considering Warlord is easily one of the worst wrestlers of this time in my opinion, I wasn't expecting this match to be half as good as it was. Davey Boy looked great in this match, kept the crowd alive and got a pretty good match out of the Warlord. [***]"

[5.0] "Two beefy meatheads clobber at each other for a bit. Bulldog has bulked up big time since we last saw him at a Wrestlemania. He sacrifices a great deal of speed for his added mass. This wasn't pretty, with the exception of some surprising high spots, including a beautiful powerslam from Warlord and a Bulldog standing dropkick that gets a lot of height. Bulldog refuses to tap to Warlord's finishing Full Nelson submission, and is able to escape and landing a running powerslam to score a win to a monster pop. This was a bowling shoe ugly battle of powerhouses, but the crowd dug every second of this."

[5.0] "Perfectly fine power battle here, Warlord never did much for me but his matches with the Bulldog usually produced fine results. Nothing must-see, but a perfectly acceptable midcard match."
