Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton & Larry Zbyszko vs. Dustin Rhodes, Nikita Koloff & Ricky Steamboat

[8.0] "After an iconic WarGames match, The Dangerous Alliance continue to unravel in this engaging TV main event. It's not quite as electrifying as the faction's prior highs, instead landing as something more comforting than truly enthralling. The finish helps though, as does a magnificent Bobby Eaton performance that makes up for his relative absence at WrestleWar. Very good match that flows seamlessly, even if a little light on heat for its runtime. ***3/4"

[9.0] "Awesome TV match, a bunch of all stars as the wonderful Dangerous Alliance storyline starts coming to an unceremonious ending, thanks to a certain Cowboy. But it's still a great right at this point, love the long form fight with everyone getting lots of chances to do the things they do best. Arn and Eaton are treasures."

[8.0] "The Dangerous Alliance was nearing its collapse at this point, and the post-WrestleWar bookings looked like it was pointing to a climatic breakup... until Bill F'N' Watts happened. Oh, WCW, how does this keep happening to you? This had a relatively slow start -- slow not in the sense of how they do things, but how long they settle before they finally get into their groove. It was a dominating start for the babyfaces, with Arn, Bobby, and Larry doing what they do best, feeding all their stuff with a spoon. I thought the two-out-of-three falls stipulation took away from some of the action, but it was utilized perfectly as a storytelling device, showing how Zbyszko was the weakling who constantly dragged his team down. The Cruncher gave up the first fall after he missed a tag from Steamboat and was caught off guard by a flying crossbody. Then, it was Larry again, who fumbled Paul E.'s cell phone plan after he threw it too far, allowing Dustin to pick it up and inexplicably nailed Zbyszko for a DQ. The DA may have gained that fall, but it was not what they drew up. Things took a turn for the better after Arn demolished Ricky with a downright sickening DDT. Steamboat had a broken nose here, and Arn fittingly tore it apart with pure wickedness. The Dragon did about as flawless a selljob as you will ever see in this short FIP segment, setting up a good ol' Nikita hot tag! Zbyszko ultimately hit Arn by accident as Nikita cleaned his clock with the Sickle for the deciding finish. They teased more dissension afterward as the two former Enforcers stared each other down to end the show. These two factions could do no wrong no matter the type of tag team setting they are in, even if this came out a tad disappointing for me. [***3/4]"

[7.0] "This was an important match in terms of determining the future of the Dangerous Alliance following WrestleWar, and the participants do a terrific job telling that story. The major story here is the Dangerous Alliance growing increasingly frustrated with Larry Zybyszko's ineptitude, and I really enjoy the way the sense of tension between the teammates slowly rises over the course of the match as Larry continuously bungles key moments in the match. A lot of the actual wrestling looks excellent from a technical standpoint (some of those punches look flawless), and I especially liked the heat segment in the third fall. Steamboat sells a DDT beautifully, and the Dangerous Alliance follow up by simultaneously working over not only the neck, but also Steamboat's previously broken nose, and I thought they looked particularly vicious in doing so. It may come across as a little slow at points for some fans (particularly if you watch it out of context of the full story), but this was an extremely effective match in terms of the story being told, with some very well executed wrestling to boot."

[7.0] "I wasn't fully into this at first but I thought this six man tag really started to get cooking and ended up telling a pretty fun story. The talent in this match is actually kinda insane. I love the slow burn falling apart of the Dangerous Alliance; the problems with Larry Zbyszko and his allies become larger when he accidentally costs his team the match."

[8.0] "Just look at the talent involved in this! You know you are getting a good match out of this lot. They get plenty of time here and they don't rush things, they instead start this slow and let things breathe. The babyface shine segment sees all the heels back off from the good guys in an amusing fashion. Windham floors Arn with a nice right hand and Arn puts an exclamation point on the strike by dribbling out spit as he goes down. Koloff is by far the weakest link here, but looks the business as no-sells like a Road Warrior and clobbering away at his opponents. The first fall comes out of nowhere after Koloff gets a blind tag to Steamboat, who then pins an unsuspecting Zbyszko after flying through the air with a body block. At the start of the second fall, Larry tries to get one up on Steamboat by attempting to take him on with a test of strength but unsurprisingly fails. The heels even the score after the faces get disqualified after Dustin gets caught using Paul E. Dangerously's phone as a weapon. We get to see one of the best ever flash DDTs ever as Arn just plants Steamboat with one, who follows it up with some of the best selling of a DDT I have ever seen as the momentum sends Dragon to his feet before collapsing to the mat again, convulsing and going all jellied-legged. Steamboat is coming into this with a broken nose and Arn decides to be a right bastard and starts hammering away at Steamboat's face. Steamboat's selling touched on being too cartoony at times, but he was absolutely perfect here and he made you believe that he was in serious peril here. We get a tease that the Dangerous Alliance might be having issues during the finish when Zbyszko costs his team the match by inadvertently hitting his own partner. I had a hell of a time with this match. This is a total hidden gem."
