Bradshaw, Buh Buh Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley & Faarooq vs. D-Lo Brown, Mosh, The Godfather & Thrasher

[4.0] "Good match, something that I highlight was the team of the Godfather entering as pimps with the girls, the match itself it's not something to be taken as a wonder, but can't deny it was good for opener. 4/10 [**3/4]"

[5.0] "This was fine, Team Godfather all dressing like pimps were fun, this would be I guess the official babyface turn for the Acolytes not quite APA yet. Godfather is the most over guy here."

[6.0] "I wonder if these women who came out with Godfather tell their grandkids today, "I was once a Ho on WWE television". This match was entertaining, but it is not a classic by any means. I enjoyed the friction between the Acolytes and the Dudleys."

"A passable opener, but nothing to write home about. The action is fast paced at least, but somewhat messy. Overall the match is forgettable."

[4.0] "Boy, the 90s were sure a thing, weren't they? I'm not gonna lie, the Headbangers coming out to start the match in "pimp attire" put a bad taste in my mouth from moment one, and the match wasn't really anything special after that. There was some fun-ish story telling with the Acolytes and Dudleys failing to co-exist, and some okay brawling in there. D-Lo is super over which was really fun to see - he was so good before the tragedy with Droz that kind of damaged his mentality - but this was, as so many things were in the Attitude Era, an angle full of shock characters and comedy more than a good match."

[4.0] "Even though the action in the ring was perfectly fine, I can't bring myself to give this match 5 points because of the lazy way the heel team is eliminated. Why on earth did we need three quarters of the heel team to be eliminated through shenanigans? A DQ and two count outs? I just don't get it. There are a bunch of better ways you could have started a Dudley and Acolytes feud and get some cheeky eliminations in without resorting to this. It really cheapens the match and the babyface's victory. The closing minute or so when Bubba is alone is pretty good, but this is a bit of a sour match beyond that."

[5.0] "A decent enough opener and it was funny to see Godfather's teammates all wearing pimp outfits to fit in. Pretty short in terms of an elimination match but the right team went over to get the crowd going early. No less than 2.5 stars."

[5.0] "It was an okay match thanks to the entertainment with The Godfather's team all dressing like him. He was just ridiculously over so he's a solid opening act. It had a strong D'Lo performance and generally the in ring action was good. Not really sure what the point was in having the Acolytes and the Dudleys turn on each other so randomly though and Bradshaw's chair shots look like they hurt like hell!"

[4.0] "It's serve it's purpose of being a opening contest Godfather and d'lo were entertaining in this match.The most impressive man in this match was definitely lo.Match finish when d-vo and farooq countout themselves and lo hit Bubba with his finisher"

[3.0] "A dull brawl that doesn't really get anyone over. The Headbangers look like jobbers, the Dudleys and the APA look like idiots for costing themselves the match, and Godfather and D'Lo don't need the win, they're not going anywhere. Just kind of pointless all around."

[3.0] "This was a poor opener. Weren't a fan of the heel tag team struggling to work together. This results in 2 of the members getting counted out at the same time?"

[5.0] "It wasn't bad, but it was one of those Survivor Series Matches where they were given little time so a few guys had to be eliminated almost at the same moment, but at least they established The Acolytes' and The Dudleys' conflict before the contest. As a match itself it was easy to watch, but nothing too memorable apart from everybody dressing up as pimps."

[4.0] "** - absolute nothing match where nothing of note or memorable happens. It's fine for survivor Series match but just pointless really"

[4.0] "D-Lo comes out dressed as a pimp in training but The Headbangers come out looking more like Carlito fanboys than pimps. On paper I would think the Acolytes and Dudleyz would get the win, but they had that match back at Unforgiven so things might not work out so well. Bangers got strap on fros and the heels knock em right off. Pretty quick elimination as Bradshaw kills Thrasher with the clothesline from hell to eliminate him. Mosh takes over and gets his token offense but the Dudleyz hit 3D and send him packing. Headbangers are like the Bushwhackers by this point. You know they are dead weight and will go quick from whatever team they are on. The heels are looking pretty good until D-Lo slaps Bradshaw who is on the apron, so the angry redneck fetches a chair and smacks D-Lo getting himself DQ'd. D-Von and Faarooq argue over who should get the pin attempt on the KO'd D-Lo and they fight outside and get double counted out. That was stupid. That leaves Buh Buh to play heel in peril and he and D-Lo fight up top where Brown tries a hurricinrana but gets powe rbombed off the top rope. D-Lo manages a tag and Godfather does his one move the fans pop for. Ho Train and a hottag to D-Lo with the lowdown finishes. Sole survivers: The Godfather and D-Lo Brown. Tim White parties with the ho's afterwards. Feh!"

[5.0] "On the short side for this sort of elimination match, but still felt a bit padded. Fine as an opener but not much more."

[6.0] "Before brining up the actual action I just wanna say D'Lo looked fucking sick. I love his fit here. This match was mid tier but the action was fun enough to justify a 6. I loved the chairshot to Bubba lmao"

[5.0] "The Godfather's tag partners are all dressed like him. D'lo looks quite suave and he would form a short-lived tag team with Godfather following this. The Headbangers, armed with massive afros and gold chains, looks like the closest you could get to doing blackface without actually blacking up. Bradshaw shows us what a hoss he can be, by nearly beheading Thrasher with his clothesline and turning on Buh Buh by laying him out with a ghastly chair shot to the head. I love the reaction that Buh Buh has when he goes to tag out and realizes that he's the last one left. D'lo and Godfather then make short work of him to get the win. Enjoyable enough opener, with quick tags and eliminations stopping any of the action from stagnating."

[5.0] "Decent match, a lot better with a better story than a lot of previous WWF PPV midcard. It was a typical "can they coexiste ? ", but worked fine. Some great moment and a happy ending for the fans. Bubba & D'Lo are great in the match"

[5.0] "This was an adequate match. There were some dead parts in the match, but fans were happy with the result. The Dudleys were new to the company, so I thought maybe they would have gone over. I guess WWE wanted to put over the face team instead. **1/4"
