[7.0] "This was a pretty good match. Bret Hart leaving WWE by this point was pretty much assured. He was only a few weeks away from the defending the WWF title at Survivor Series, and little did we know the big event that would be the Montreal Screwjob. Ken Shamrock had only made his debut earlier that year, but they booked him pretty strong here against Bret. What's cool about this match is that Shamrock had a backround in MMA, so Bret was wrestling someone who was something of an equal in technical ability. It sucks that they never had a 20 minute match without commercials because these guys had chemistry. Shamrock had the match won, but in countering the Sharpshooter into an Ankle Lock, Earl Hebner got knocked down. Then as Bret used a chair and put the Sharpshooter on Shamrock, Shawn Michaels came out and superkicked Bret. Then as Shawn was beating on Bret, Shamrock snapped and attacked Shawn, which was fun to watch, after which a brawl broke out between Bret and Shawn. Not being around back then to watch Raw on a weekly basis, now I get why Ken Shamrock was the one who got the first shot at the WWF title after Shawn won it at Survivor Series. ***1/2"
[7.0] "Good TV match here with some great mat wrestling. Shamrock shows some really good intensity here, particularly when it goes out the ring. The referee gets knocked out and Shamrock gets the visual win where he reversed the Sharpshooter into the Ankle Lock and Bret taps out hard. HBK eventually gets involved and all hell breaks loose. Easily the most entertaining match on the show so far."
[6.0] "Dieses Match war absolut vorzeigbar, und man konnte ja auch nichts anderes erwarten. Ken Shamrock war sogar mal gezwungen, richtig zu stellen. Das Chaos am Ende hätte nicht sein müssen, war aber nun mal für die gesamte Story da und am Ende fand ich dann doch gut, dass es so passiert ist"
[6.0] "Bret carries Shamrock to a decent match that plays into Shamrock's strengths and features a lot of mat-based stuff. In a glorious counter, Shamrock heel hooks his way out of a sharpshooter and is able to lock on an ankle lock, but he knocks over the referee in the process. Shawn Michaels runs down and lays out Bret with a superkick. Shamrock isn't pleased with HBK getting involved, so he snaps and takes out him. The match abruptly ends as Shamrock refuses to let Shawn go. This had a weak finish, but you could tell that Hart and Shamrock had chemistry and it's a shame they never had a chance to have a proper PPV match between them."
[4.0] "Fing ganz gut an und das war es dann leider auch schon, ich habe ich wirklich keine Ahnung, was an dem Match gut sein soll. Es war nicht schlecht aber das war in meinen Augen wirklich kein starker Kampf."
[3.0] "Overly basic mat-based match with hardly any heat and a really annoying finish. Hart tapping out so hard to the ankle lock RIGHT NEXT to the knocked referee was extremely unbelievable. Even if the ref *was* knocked out, he'd surely wake up from a wrestler tapping out THAT hard. Idk this match just bugged me and I didn't think it was worthy of being on the guide, especially with that finish."
[4.0] "Nö, sorry. Ich bin ein riesiger Hitman-Fan und ich mag auch die Idee mit Shamrock, aber das ist kein bemerkenswertes Match. Beide konzentrieren sich lange auf die Beinpartien, beide bereiten Submissions vor. Ein ausgeknockter Ref und ein Kick von Michaels machen dann den ohnehin unrunden Eindruck nicht besser - das ist ein ausreichendes Vehikel auf dem Weg zum Titelmatch der Survivor Series, aber das ist trotz etwas mehr als zehn Minuten keine spürbar taugliche Partie."
[6.0] "Sicherlich eine Begegnung, die aus der üblichen TV-Einheitsmasse von Raw Matches heraussticht, aber auch dieses Match findet kein richtiges Ende und ist daher nicht mehr als ein guter Brawl mit einigen netten technischen Elementen. Shamrock wirkte in diesem Match jedoch wie ein Star und sellte nicht nur großartig für Bret, sondern bewies, dass er technisch durchaus was drauf hatte. Den hohen Bewertungen kann ich dann trotzdem nicht zustimmen. ***"
[10.0] "This was an excellent old school mat war between two highly skilled technicians. This was just before Hart joined the NWO. It's a shame because these two had a natural rivalry. OK on the mic, intense but different ring entrances and extreme talent on the mat. Just before the no contest, Shamrock reverses the Sharpshooter into his Ankle lock finish. Just a thing fo beauty. Too bad, there wasn't four more years of these two guys selling out arenas across the country."
[7.0] "Sehr ordentliches Match zwischen Bret Hart und Ken Shamrock. Am Ende musste es natürlich zu einem Eingriff von Michaels kommen. Trotzdem für RAW voll okay."
[7.0] "Gutes, seltenes Match um den WWF World Heavyweight Champioship das Shamrock größtenteils dominierte. Bret hatte kaum Chancen seine typischen Moves zu zeigen. Am Schluss endete das Match in einem Chaos wo auch Shawn beteiligt war. Für die kurze Matchzeit sehr unterhaltsam. Sicher eins der besten WWF TV Matches von Ken Shamrock (***)."
[8.0] "Recht starkes Match, bei dem Shamrock dem Hitman ordenltich paroli bieten und dessen trademarks auskontern konnte. Kriegt auch ordentlich pops."
