[7.0] "A good match. Really starting building up Roderick Strongs heel charcter up and showed Biff Busick (the newcomer) as the tough hard hitting man he is and was back then. Had some cool spots, nothing crazy but still good and got pops. Great finsh also."
[8.0] "I thought this was pretty great. The grappling looked tight and credible, the strikes were high impact, Strong was confident as his dickish self while in control, and Biff was explosive with his comebacks. Biff has this doggedness when he applies his chokes that I really love. Great chemistry between these two."
[7.0] "The first part of the match was not too exciting, but did a lot to establish Roderick Strong as the bastard he would be for the next two years, while also further enamoring the crowd with Biff Busick. Things kicked up a notch in the second half and made for a solid match with a solid finish."
[7.0] "It's been a few years since I watched this match. I have it rated *** 3/4 in my notes. I remember Strong having an expectedly great match and Busick holding his own in what ended up being a quite good match."
