| 6 | 19.10.2024 | Ruthless Attitude | 7.0 | I'm not used to seeing Jushin Thunder Liger wrestle heel, but he's really good with that in this match. He still gets the big high risk spots in there, but the arrogance in his cover when he lands a brainbuster was a nice touch. Given the talent here, it's not surprising everything looked so crisp and technically sound match with a good mix of techincal wrestling and high flying. Benoit had the match won, but the finish wasn't great as Sullivan distracted Benoit at ringside which lead to Liger landing a hurricanrane, which didn't look as good as everything else in the match. |

| 8 | 14.10.2024 | JacquesRougeauCanHaveMyWife | 7.0 | A very good match to open the show with a really hot crowd. The dynamic was interesting, because heel Benoit was getting cheered, so they adapted to that scenario pretty well in the middle of the match with Jushin becoming more arrogant with every minute. The work was obviously very good as both guys' stuff looked as flawless as it could possibly get and they paced it very well. A really fun and fast opener. |

Wasn't that bad, the old distraction trope is a bit tired but holy hell, most of this match is awesome. Crisp, phenomenal bombs these two throw at each other, and they even inject a bit of personality as Liger heels it up a bit and Benoit takes bigger risks to try to take him down. This was a great one in my book. |

| 31 | 28.08.2023 | MattEdererSNMERadio | | It's reviews like arrancar's on this site that remind me just how massively arrogant and out of touch wrestling fans can be. The amount of vitriolic hate that pro westlers, these human beings who are risking their lives for our entertainment, incurr is not just shocking, but truly disgusting. A very good professional wrestling match between two excellent wrestlers. They had much better ones though, so this match falls through the cracks. General note to wrestling fans: hey not sure if you remember how Benoit's life ended, but let's hate him for that. Leaving a SCATHING REVIEW on a Chris Benoit match about Benoit's opponent is legitimately one of the funniest things a human being can do lol. Hay zeus friends what are we doing here. Let's maybe hate the murderer? Let's not hate Jyushin Liger because you personally disliked his ouevre |

| 42 | 26.05.2022 | Giantfan1980 | 6.0 | The first match in the world cup tournament. Great opening match. Both guys countering whatever they can throw at each other. Liger goes up top and gets caught by Benoit in a superplex. Benoit misses the diving headbutt and Liger hits a sit down power bomb for 2. Liger hits a brain buster but an arrogant cover lets Benoit escape. Benoit catches Liger with a double german suplex. Kevin Sullivan comes to ringside to start shit with Benoit because of the recent trouble Pillman caused by mouthing off to the DOD. Sullivan distracts Benoit and Liger gets the pin. |
| 43 | 14.04.2022 | arrancar | 6.0 | It's performances like this that remind me just how massively underwhelming and overrated Liger was. Benoit looked like an absolute pro here, whereas Liger often looked pretty amateurish and was easily overshadowed in every single department. Liger's movements were pretty unflashy, with his form resembling a flying bag of potatoes every time he took to the air or attempted any sort of 'agile' movement. He hit a few decent traditional lucha spots, but then he'd also do some junior that absolutely didn't suit his body type (like that lame feint-dive handstand into the ropes), resulting in him looking pretty dorky. His heel work was pretty forced as well, though that could just be because WCW told him to ham up his performance here as the 'evil' invader. His best moments really were bumping for all of Benoit's massive power moves. Benoit was good all around, with strong technical work, really good impact in all his attacks (especially his blasting power moves), and great natural aggression that made him come off like a total fighter. They showed solid chemistry as they began quickly trading and countering moves back and forth, but none of their exchanges or spots were too creative or especially spectacular. So what does WCW do to end this good match? Why, it's an outside interference distraction of course! Taskmaster diverted Benoit's attention, setting Benout up to eat Liger's really janky hurricanrana (another example of the "great" Liger's offence lmao). Tell any WCW fans here that Liger was, or would become, considered one of the greatest wrestlers ever and they'd have a laughing fit. Benoit made this match as good as it was, but he didn't get anything near an equal effort from Liger to raise this it higher. ***1/4 |
| 44 | 24.12.2021 | Derek Joists | 8.0 | Benoit had plenty of experience wresttling in Japan prior to this, and Liger is a legitimate contender for greatest wrestler in history. Unfortunately this is a short match with a screwy finish, but despite that it's a great match. There's a mix of hard hitting offence, technical skill, and a variety of well executed suplexes, and it's just a shame they didn't get longer. |

A shaky superplex and a sloppy hurricanrana for the finish were the only notable weak points form a move execution perspective. However it never hit that next gear you would have expected from these two and the finish was awful, with Dungeon of Doom continuing to be the worst thing about WCW. |

| 66 | 24.11.2018 | RatingsMachine | 6.0 | This was a good match with a bad finish. These two are capable of so much better. The commentary really hurt this match, something that would be a running theme for the rest of the night. Tony Schiavone tried his best on commentary; it seemed like he really wanted to get the wrestlers and the match over. But Bobby Heenan was intent on doing his routine, and Dusty Rhodes, like always, was intent on getting himself at the expense of everything else. |
| 67 | 03.11.2018 | Makai Club | 7.0 | Pretty good back and forth match, it had potential to be much better higher up on the card but as an opener, this was good as it could've been. Didn't mind the ending either. ***1/2 |

| 75 | 11.07.2017 | WhiteHummerDriver | 7.0 | Gutes aber kein herausragendes Match. Die Kommentatoren merken an, dass diese beiden sich schon mehrmals in Japan gegenüber gestanden haben. Liger weiß, vor welcher Crowd er hier auftritt und spielt den bösen Ausländer. Benoit scheint das Match gewonnen zu haben als er seinen Flying Headbutt landet, aber plötzlich springt Kevin Sullivan auf den Mattenrand und richtet einige Worte an Benoit, während Jimmy Hart versucht ihn zurück zu halten. Benoit ist abgelenkt und wird mit einem eher unschönen Hurricanrana von Liger gepinnt. *** 1/2 |

| 79 | 16.01.2017 | jackleone | 7.0 | Really good match until the final minute, where the run-in of Taskmaster/Sullivan causes an ending out of nowhere with Liger cheating his way to win. Anyway it's not at the top of their skills, just a good 10 minutes fight. ***1/2 |
| 80 | 03.01.2017 | test85 | 6.0 | War schon ein Opener der In Ordnung geht. Beide kennen sich gut und das sieht man auch. Nur hätte die ein oder andere Minute mehr dem Match sicher gut getan. Zudem war das Finish auch nicht sauber gemacht. (3 1/4*) |
| 81 | 16.12.2016 | HudE | 6.0 | Für die kurze Zeit ein richtig unterhaltsames Match. Hätten die 2 am Anfang nicht so langsam geworkt, wären in diesen 10 Minuten sicherlich auch noch mehr drin gewesen. Sicherlich kein Highlight für die beiden Wrestler, was die Matchqualität anbelangt, aber ein netter Opener. Hätte hier gerne ein längeres Match gesehen mit einem guten Finish. *** |

| 84 | 26.07.2016 | TAWPTierJustin | 8.0 | I'm really surprised that this match with Chris Benoit and Jushin Thunder Liger at Starrcade 1995 was ranked lower than I expected. Sure the finish wasn't good cause Kevin Sullivan came out, Benoit had Liger right where he wanted him but Benoit let himself get distracted by Sullivan on the apron and by the time Benoit turned back around, he lost via hurricanrana pin from Liger which was pretty miscommunicated and didn't look very good, but before that, we had real good back and forth action for the most part by both Liger and Benoit. Overall it was a really good way to start off Starrcade 95. |
| 85 | 18.05.2016 | colonel | 6.0 | Netter Opener mit überwiegend schneller und technisch anspruchsvoller Action. Richtige Daramatik will aber irgendwie nicht aufkommen und das Storyline-Finish trägt auch nicht gerade zu einem besseren Match bei. Dennoch kann man sich das ganze gut anschauen. |

| 88 | 19.02.2015 | BlackX | 4.0 | Das Beide im Ring mehr (auch zusammen) können, das bezweifelt niemand. Beim Opener zu Starrcade aber hat man davon nicht viel erlebt. Es gab eine handvoll netter Moves und das war es im Grunde auch schon wieder. Dazu ein leicht "gebotchtes" Finish mit Ablenkung obendrauf ziehen den eigentlich ganz okayen Eindruck leider nach unten. |
| 89 | 24.08.2014 | Smi-48 | 7.0 | Temporeicher Auftakt in das Länderturnier - Benoit hat überwiegend die Oberhand, kontert geschickt und hält mit einem ähnlich talentierten Widerpart das technische Niveau der Begegnung lange Zeit aufrecht. Einige Suplessen und Top-Rope Aktionen runden einen akzeptablen Matchfluss ab, welcher erst durch die überflüssige Präsenz Kevin Sullivans ein abruptes Ende findet. Das Ablenkungsmaneuver und die entscheidende und unsaubere Kopfschere zum Pinfall sind der bis dahin soliden Partie unwürdig. Unter genannten Gesichtspunkten und der doch relativ überschaubaren Matchzeit bleiben für mich knapp runtergerudete sieben Punkte stehen. |
| 90 | 06.12.2013 | Henne | 7.0 | Schöner Sprint zwischen zwei Leuten, die sich offensichtlich aus dem ff kennen. |
| 91 | 28.06.2011 | Garvin | 6.0 | Leider fehlte es dem Match an Zeit - dann wäre bei diesem Match mehr drin gewesen. In den knapp zehn Minuten zeigen beide dafür vieles von ihrem Potential. Leider wirkt das Match etwas zu überladen, was sich entsprechend in den Übergängen der Moves widerspiegelte. Dies wirkte oftmals zu inszeniert, technisch jedoch außerordentlich gut umgesetzt. |
| 92 | 23.04.2010 | Fountain of Misinformation | 4.0 | Gutes Opening Match, auch wenn die US-Fans hier einmal mehr nur einen kleinen Auszug aus den japanischen Klassikern und den Möglichkeiten dieser beiden Männer gezeigt bekommen, außerdem leider ein leicht "gebotchtes" Finish. |
