Ernest Miller & Glacier vs. Meng & The Barbarian

[7.0] "This was a pretty solid opening match. Back in the day, I slept on the Faces of Fear and Ernest Miller, but they put on a good show here and it's hard to find many things wrong with it."

[6.0] "Another proof how underrated Faces of Fear were. All their power moves looked fantastic and even though they were heels they were getting bigger reactions than the babyfaces. Also some nice kicks from Glacier and Miller, plus Ernest's Crossbody to the outside looked incredible, but Haku and Barbarian were the most exciting thing about the whole bout."

[3.0] "Garbage opener to start of the PPV. It is wild to have the type of explosive workers on their roster that they had and put this out there instead."

[4.0] "This is okay, but not as fun as some of the other tag matches that Meng and Barbs had during 1997, such as the one at Fall Brawl 1997. A solid enough opener"

[6.0] "Glacier and the Cat being a tag team sure is a choice. Decent opener with two clear stand out moments, the Cat hit a springboard off Meng to the outside that looked cool as hell and the finish was Meng getting the Tongan Death grip out of nowhere which sold it really well as dangerous and could be applied at anytime."

[5.0] "The Barbarian and Meng beat up Glacier and Miller got the hot tag. This was a pretty mediocre match."

[0.0] "I don't understand the appeal of this at all. It's a couple of half-trained former martial arts guys getting beat up by a boring 1980s style WWF slugger team for what seems like an eternity. The Faces of Fear doing endless thrust attacks and nerve holds while mumbling their gibberish got to be infuriating after a while."

[4.0] "The fans are more behind the FOF it seems. They control most of the match and Glacier gets beat up for the major portion of it. Glacier and Millers kicks don't give them long term advantage. Miller gets the hot tag and starts knocking down Meng and Barbarian with those martial arts kicks. He goes after Hart and turns around into the Tongan death grip and is pinned. Standard tag team opener."

[6.0] "Pretty fun opener. The Faces of the Fear are often found delivering good performances on WCW TV around this time. Hot sequence where Ernest Miller uses Barbarian as a springboard to dive out of the ring and take out Meng, followed by a slingshot from Glacier. Meng scores a very impressive high dropkick at one point. Jimmy Hart's involvement offers the distraction the Faces of Fear need to pick up the win."

[4.0] "Standard tag team match. Nowhere near as good as the cruiserweight openers WCW usually had, although the crowd seemed into it."

[8.0] "Meng is awesome in this match, Glacier is great, Barbarian is ok, and Ernest Miller gets his hot tag and high spots. This match is really fun."

[6.0] "Quite a good match, I think it's nice that they give wrestlers who are usually at the bottom of the card a PPV match. For me, the best in this match is Ernest Miller. They did well to put this match in the opening."

[9.0] "The Faces of Fear kill it again in an unlikely scenario! I would have never guessed that Ernest Miller and Glacier would be involved in a tag this good, but somehow Meng and Barbarian are the perfect bases for what they can do. Surprise hit of a match."
