[2.0] "This starts with some mic time for Miller. He's a charisma vacuum and gets "boring" chants. Some terrible looking strikes in this. The cat really is terrible out there. Smiley tries his best but he's not up to the task. This match is not worth watching."

[1.0] "This match between both men was just a throwaway fives minutes of nothing, Smiley actually tries here, but Cat was just awful with his in ring work."

[4.0] "The crowd didn't care and they didn't do much to get their interest. Miller had a couple of cool moves and Smiley looked like a proper veteran here calling the match, which you could see just by looking at him move, but the match itself was just meh."

[1.0] "Smiley didnt look too bad here, and Miller threw about 3 nice looking kicks, but the match itself was awful as they had zero chemistry and Miller had nothing going for him except for the aforementioned kicks and Heel mannerisms. I can understand Miller being a project for the company due to his legitimate background and promo ability, but he should not have been anywhere near pay per views at this stage in his career. He needed to be grinding on the House Show circuit and weekend shows with good workers like Bobby Eaton who could actually teach him how to wrestle properly, with him eventually making it to Nitro/Thunder/Pay Per Views when he was actually good enough to carry his end of things. But that didnt happen, because WCW"

[3.0] "No heat and too quick to be anything substantial, and Cat whiffed his only cool move of the match (feliner from the top rope). Just weird how previously Cat was beating up everyone and anyone, and yet didn't want to face Smiley intially."

[2.0] "No story here. They got into an argument before the show so they threw this on the card to pad the time I guess. Boring thunder match. Miller gives Smiley a 10 count to leave and Norman decks him. Cat kicks Smiley in the head and pins after 5 minutes of nothing. Bleh!"

[2.0] "You have a guy like Norman Smiley, established technical star who was able to make a HUGE name for himself in Mexico, and you make him look like a moron by pairing him against the Cat. Who, it should be noted, was barely out of the first year of his career, and thus could not wrestle at all. Cat bores everyone for five minutes and then wins. Yawn."

[2.0] "There is no reason for this match to have happened. There is no reason for Ernest Miller to have been a wrestler."

[3.0] "Frankly I think the Cat's promos were better than his wrestling, though I'd be happy to leave both. This wasn't the worst I've seen but certainly I felt the wrong guy got pushed."

[3.0] "IDK why WCW suddenly felt they neede to give Miller a mic, but whoever decided that should've been fired on the spot. The man has no charisma, and I'm convinced the boos are for him being just all-around awful and not because he's a good heel. Smiley's the one that should've been pushed, but instead he's forced to lie down for Ernest Miller? Terrible."
