Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers vs. Sheepherder Butch & Sheepherder Luke

[5.0] "Meh, I've never liked the Bushwhackers, and the match was just like what I was expecting from the Bushwhackers, even though this was before their time in the WWF, they did here the basics of a match vs anti USA heels, not my type of match. 5/10 [***1/4]"

[4.0] "To be honest, I can't even imagine what I might like about this match. Except for the involvement of the audience. [**]"

[8.0] "Here is infamous, worst 5 star match of all time. I can definitely see where Dave was coming from with this rating, and I can see the critics being right, and match itself was somewhere in the middle. Not many moves here, but it's a Sheepherders match so if you expect athletic showcase, jokes on you. I enjoyed it personally. Simply put, it was already tense atmosphere of red hot babyface tag in this tournament going up against foreign tag team which is emotional trigger for USA chants, and it was like watching a match slowly devolve in this crazy, uncontrolable brawl that kept going, ref bumps, just all around chaos. Crowd losing their minds all the time certainly helped. It was an essence of old school crazy wrestling, where crowd believed what they saw and reacted accordingly. It sucked to see Fantastics eliminated, but if they are going out, at least go out in blaze of glory"

[8.0] "Classic 80s babyface usa vs anti usa heel wrestler from whatever country. I enjoyed this match a lot, ive always really enjoyed the bushwhackers/sheepherders team and its awesome to see them have a great brawl like this. ****1/4"

[5.0] "I don't understand Meltzer's rating for this at all, and I normally love over the top jingoism in wrestling matches. I get that this is intended to be more of a brawl than a well-structured tag match, but there weren't any moves or spots in this match that felt like they raised the stakes."

[8.0] "The Sheepherders worked in this one. The humping and everything they did here was stuff I didn't even know they could do. This was a fun match, finish was terrible. 3.75/5 Stars"

[9.0] "2nd best match of the tournament for me. Crazy to see the Sheepherders really go like this, I had a blast. Wasn't in love with the finish."

[7.0] "Good match. It's very similar to The Sheepherders vs Rock N' Roll Express from earlier in the show, down to the screwy finish, but I think this edges it because the finish is better, in concept and execution, and it has a grittier, more violent feel. The Sheepherders offense is limited to punches and kicks but they make the most of it, their commitment to the gimmick is so all encompassing that doing wrestling moves would almost take away from it. The Sheepherder are the kind of team that would forgo a lockup to punch you in the ribs, and they stick to it. The Fantastics aren't as dynamic as the Rock N' Roll and Bobby Fulton isn't as good a seller as Robert Gibson, but with the crowd firmly behind the babyfaces (with the help of good old 80s patriotism) and blade jobs by 2/4 participants, the match gets to a higher gear of intensity and violence. The finish doesn't feel cheap as it was logical and built up nicely. The post match is great, adding even more to the mayhem of the preceding match"

[6.0] "This was the Sheepherders 5 star match? No way Brother. While saying that, this was one of the better matches of the show and that I've seen from the Sheepherders/Bushwackers. The match does get messy, which doesn't help. The crowd was very into this one as they got behind their American boys."

[5.0] "Currently going through all of Meltzer's five star matches, and this was the most confusing for me, so far. This was overbooked and just average. I really didn't think this was great at all. It was kind of a mess, in my opinion. (**3/4)"

[8.0] "For years, this was my holy grail match that I hoped would one day see the light of day. One day, the WWE Network decided to upload the event (it has since disappeared from the network) and I immediately watched the event hoping to see this fabled 5-star match from the Sheepherders. I expected a bloody brawl between the two teams. Was it a letdown? Yes and no. This match was nowhere near 5 stars, but it was a good, entertaining brawl. The Fantastics have slowly risen on my favorite '80s tag teams list over the years. If not for how annoying Bobby Fulton could be, they might be at the top of the list. While not 5 stars, I think it deserves at least 4. It was wild and entertaining."

[5.0] "The most baffling 5 star rating of all time, surely? It was not a bad match, I appreciated the blade job raising the tension, but the action was quite basic and the crowd was hotter for other matches."

[6.0] "I do not know how this match could have been rated 5 stars at any point in time. It was an entertaining bloody brawl, the USA vs Australia battle, but the moves lacked impact and overall the match was rather average with a very confusing ending. Just ***1/4."

[10.0] "The tag match itself was good but I give this a ten for the bloody brawl afterwards. That is how two teams that hate each other should be and would be."

[8.0] "It's a fun match. A good ol' fashioned brawl. All guys bled like a stockpig. The crowd was engaged, the atmosphere hot. Now is it five stars? For me, no, totally not. But it was enjoyable. And I see why Dave rated it full five. It was kinda ahead of its time and clearly the style they wrestled later went on to influence the 'Attitude Era' to some extent. All things considered, I'll give it a four. ****"

[6.0] "This is an okay tag team match, which contains decent bloody spots and totally hot crowd. But is this really worth 5 stars? I don't think so. (***1/4)"

[7.0] "Fun crazy brawl with a very hot crowd. Can see why it was given 5 stars at the time but doesn't hold up in 2018. (***1/4)"

[6.0] "Ahead of its time? Possibly. Violent and bloody? Yeah, sorta. Hot crowd? Totally. Cool spots? Not really. Entertaining? -ish. Overall assessment from where I sit: totally fine, weird, influential brawl that just doesn't hold up that well. *** (but really probably **1/2)."

[10.0] "This is like one of those famous Multi man brawls in the NWA but it happened DURING a match this time. With that in mind, this is the influential style you would see come through later in the Attitude Era. It's hard in hindsight to see why it was given *****, but the reasoning must be there for that."

[8.0] "A great Quarter Final match, easily one of the better matches on the entire card between two very strong teams."

[5.0] "For the most part, this was a standard tag team match with a bit of crazy selling, that's it. Hardly five-star material, hardly better than adequate."

[6.0] "5 stars seems absurd, but still a really physical match with a red-hot crowd"

[7.0] "It was a good tag team match, nothing more than that."
