[6.0] "I found this match to be quite a lot of fun. The spots at the entry way were pretty unique, and even though it was mostly a one sided beatdown, the damage they all took always looked impactful. When Austin was in trouble, it was in believable ways. This match won't win any awards, and it's probably not a match I'd go out of my way to recommend, but for what it was, it was very entertaining. Maybe just a tiny bit too one sided."
[7.0] "This was an entertaining match because the McMahon's take several bumps to make Austin's beat down of them very satisfying and the match had some very over the top moments as it should have where Austin makes the entrance stage collapse on them and there was a couple of announce table spots where Austin crashed through Shane and then moments later Vince sends Austin off the ladder on the other table, which looked kinda brutal because it doesn't break and Austin bounced off it onto the concrete. The ladder match isn't a specialty of any of the competitors in the match, but the big storyline as well as Austin kept the crowd hot through the entire match. The ending that screwed over Austin was creative but slightly cheap because while it is a logical way for the McMahon's to win, it's never revealed who lowers and raises the case. On the whole though, this was by far the match of the night."
[5.0] "honestly do not hate this match at all. I mean the ladder spot with all the ladders crashing on top of the mcmahons looks pretty stupid honestly. But i think they worked the match exactly how they needed to and to the best that they could. The finish obviously sucks but other than that this isnt horrible. And actually the best match of the night. 2.50 stars"
[2.0] "Vince matches are very rarely truly good and this one was just a disaster from start to finish. Intentional? Maybe. Enjoyable end to this dreadful PPV? Nope."
[7.0] "A very solid main event especially given the participants. It was a lot of fun watching the McMahon's get destroyed for the majority of the match and I personally really liked the spot of the ladders all collapsing at the entrance. Austin was bumping all over the place as well and my personal favorite spot of the contest is when Vince pushes over the ladder on the outside, sending him into an announce table where he slides off of it, making the bump look very nasty. The finish was also pretty creative, with the briefcase ascending higher and higher into the air when Austin is on the verge of grabbing it and then coming back down when The McMahon's are ready for the win. 3.5 stars at best as the crowd was very hot for this."
[6.0] "This match was a joy to watch the McMahons getting their arses whooped like a Government Mule. The Vince vs Stone Cold Austin feud made the attitude era so iconic but the finish to the match I didn't care for as the crowd were enjoying the McMahons being beat senseless by Austin."
[6.0] "It's just so damn enjoyable watching both McMahons getting thrown around and bullied throughout the whole match. Both Vince and Shane take great bumps and Austin's charisma keeps everything interesting, with the crowd enjoying every single bit of it. I wish though that they at least showed who was pulling up the briefcase in the end, because the finish without it felt kinda meh."
[7.0] "I have to say it was definitely better than expected. If taken for what it is, i.e. a McMahon match (i.e. a ruthless ignorant brawl), it entertains well. Plus, the briefcase "manipulation" spot was brilliant"
[8.0] "This is what I'm here for, I love this kind of thing. McMahon vs Austin matches and angles just always do it for me and this was the only part of the show I found really worthwhile."
[6.0] "Attitude Era chaos, but not always in a good way. A decent showcase for the McMahons, but nothing really of value. The ending is classic when Austin can't reach it. 6/10"
[4.0] "Shane feigns injury so Vince can get Steve Blackman to take his place but that aborted GTV shows Shane is okay and the match is on. Brawling down the aisle right off the bat then back in Austin kills them both. Shane gets posted, then the McMahons double team Austin. Vince goes for the ladder, but Austin beats him up. Shane saves. Austin tosses the McMahons into the ladder built entrance way, until the whole thing topples down on them in a cool spot. Austin hauls the official ladder into the ring, he rams Shane with it and he goes off the ring onto a table. Austin sets up the ladder outside and elbows Shane through the Spanish table. He goes back up, but Vince pushes him over and into the US announce table. Vince climbs the ladder back in the ring, but gets knocked off by Austin. Austin clobbers Shane with the ladder in the corner. Austin slingshots him into it, then stomps a mud hole in Vince. Austin climbs for the briefcase, but the ladder gets knocked over. Stunner for Vince and stunner for Shane. Austin climbs, and we are treated to the WWF's version of the white hummer as some unknown corporate member raises the briefcase so Austin can't reach it. This allows the McMahons the chance to knock Austin off again. Vince and Austin fight on the ladder, and Shane dumps both off, then climbs up and grabs the case for the win. I don't think they ever explained who was messing with the briefcase."
[4.0] "Pretty much 15 minutes of Austin beating up the McMahon's for what turned out to be no good reason. The storyline involved Shane being his own replacement and someone screwing Austin out of winning, which didn't actually affect anything. There's a few good spots, but it doesn't hold together and the novelty of seeing Vince getting beaten up wore off pretty quickly. And, like almost everything Russo booked, nothing actually mattered and very little actually made sense."
[6.0] "Despite it being 2 on 1 Austin kicks McMahon's ass for a majority of the match. Just as Austin has the match won the briefcase moves around all over the place, allowing Shane & Vince back in the match, they end up winning overall.***1/4"
[6.0] "Austin outnumbered the McMahon family all match and beat them as he wanted, but some delays on the part of Steve affected the result and his dominant positions in the company management. The final of the ladder match was kind of strange, but here it can be explained that you have to sacrifice someone in order to achieve the desired outcome."
[5.0] "Its ok, but thats all. The screwjob ending was about as much of a given as you could ask for, yet somehow this might have been the "best match" all night since the tag match got less than five minutes."
