[5.0] "Moolah doesn't want to lay down clean for Richter and She won't go down without a double pin spot. The crowd went ape shit for it and we all know how Richter got screwed in the long run and what a deplorable soul Moolah was behind the scenes."

[6.0] ""Pandemonium has broken loose here in the Garden"~ Gorilla Monsoon. Put aside the fact Moolah looks like she should be serving coffee at a truck stop taking 20 cigarette breaks a shift this match is pretty good for its time. Moolah has a great spot where she gets her legs twisted in the ropes and Wendi hits a pretty sick looking underhook suplex looking slam. Both ladies had pretty smooth looking drop kicks. Richter is absolutely yoked for this time period in women's wrestling. Monsoon and Mean Gene are a fun broadcast team in this one. Spot of the Match: Richter's Underhook Suplex."

[1.0] "This was absolute balls. What a botched ending. What a botched match. I don't know the full story but it certainly looks like Moolah ego'd her way through this one. Richter did very little and snuck a win. Great way to establish a new champ and new "era"."

[6.0] "Pretty historic match. The match isnt anything to write home about but i will say lou albano screaming outside the ring had me giggling for a lot of the match. This was a pretty big draw at the time since it was the first time wrestling and pop culture had ever crossed over"

[0.0] "This was supposed to be the start of Richter's Hulk Hogan push. I'd encourage anyone who rates this to rewatch with that fact in mind. Moolah's kicking out at one. Richter wins due to some bs "double pin" scenario. See what I'm getting at? A terrible match, but also objectively a complete & utter failure. DUD"

[0.0] "Well it's a mixed bag. On one hand this match is important as this was the match that had Cyndi Lauper involved in, plus this match was shown in MTV live which was huge for WWF as it gave them the national attention they needed. But on the other hand I get why many people Hates it, constant botch, slow pace action, interference that are blatantly ignored. The final pin tho deliberate was confusing af. It is deliberate to stun moolah who thought she won but her shoulders were down instead of Richter give her the win. And it is simply confusing to watch the end. While it serves to put WWE on map, but WWE here treating the audience has absolute fools is the reason why this match sucks really bad.."

[2.0] "I can't do it. I tried watching this one and I just can't finish it. It's so bad. It's genuinely the most boring match I've ever had to sit through. Moolah is garbage and Richter tries but gets no response. The interference is ignored for some reason and the only thing I'm giving a point is Albano because he's awesome. Is it important? Yes. Do you need to watch it? No."

[6.0] "Not great, but not completely awful. I actually enjoy the ending of the match with the double rollup pin, and the rest was passable, certainly nothing fantastic, but not as bad as some people make it out to be."

[5.0] "The match that made the Wrestling Observer Newsletter want to include an award for Worst Match of the Year... eh, it was OK. Ignoring the awkwardness of seeing an elderly woman being presented as a credible threat, it's an alright match that isn't very good but isn't quite worst of the year material."

[7.0] "This historic match kickstarted the Rock N Wrestling Connection with Cyndi Lauper managing Wendi Richter and Captain Lou Albano managing Fabulous Moolah. The match itself was nothing special. Wendi Richter looked in great shape, but Moolah and Richter didn't seem to have the best chemistry inside the ring. Moolah was well past her prime, but tried to make herself the star of the match by no-selling everything. Richter seemed inexperienced, but hung in there to capture the WWF Women's Championship."

[0.0] "A shocking display of both women at their worst. Wendi Richter looks like a complete moron as she botches moves constantly and fails to understand how to make pins, whilst Moolah relegates herself to using only hair-pulls, big walks, and other weak-looking attacks. Cyndi Lauper cheats on Richter's behalf in front of the ref as a babyface (and this gets ignored). When Richter attempts some throws, Moolah totally no-sells. Completely stupid finish, with Captain Lou attacking Richter and then a double pin rollup, with Moolah's shoulders being the only ones to stay down. A complete burial of everyone involved (other than Moolah of course)."
