[5.0] "The match wasn't the best, but It at least followed a storyline like the one of Virgil vs Ted DiBiase, the American Dream Dusty Rhodes and his son Dustin, and to think years later he would be Goldust, but anyway, the match was good for what It was, it's not the best match ever, but it's an acceptable one, 5/10 [***1/4]"
[5.0] "A decent match, but probably less than you'd hope for given the qualities of the personnel involved. Both DiBiase and Dustin are obviously incredible workers, and Dusty is an all time legend, so ideally you'd be in for a treat here, but it's pretty basic. It's not bad or anything, and you'll (hopefully) have fun watching it but you won't be blown away. Obviously the importance as the tipping point in the slow burn Virgil turn is cool too."
[6.0] "Very fun and simple match. Story of the match is Ted constantly beratting every mistake made by Virgil as he looks to embarce The Rhodes Family. Aftsr accidental miscommunication by Virgil, DiBiase lays out Virgil and almoat gets beaten by Dusty but able to secure the roll up for the win. Nice little match here and the post match with Virgil laying out Ted, chefs kiss. ***"
[5.0] "Finally after about four years we get the Virgil babyface turn. The match itself is pretty basic with the backdrop of Dusty leaving, but the build through the match of Virgil finally losing his shit with DiBiase was good storytelling and well executed."
[6.0] "This match was not great in terms of in-ring action, but made up for it with excellent storytelling. Everything they did was focused around Virgil's deteriorating relationship with Ted."
[5.0] "It's pretty cool seeing Dusty and Dustin team up, but the match is admittedly pretty underwhelming. Dustin is quite green and the action is all fairly basic. Dustin sells his knee well, but it would have been nice if it factored in to the match a bit more instead of ending with a sudden roll up. The post-match angle is much more interesting than anything in the match itself."
[5.0] "Basic tag match with two main factors: the Rhodes on the way out (believe this may be their last match in the fed) and the bubbling face turn of Virgil. The finish comes out of nowhere considering the heels worked over Dustin's leg the entire match and it doesn't play into the finish. The reason I rate this higher then I normally would is because of the Virgil turn, which had been built up perfectly for over 3 years. Just don't get that kind of storytelling anymore and I miss it. Would have been a 6 if it wasn't for the the random ending."
[6.0] "A solid tag match with 3 very good wrestlers and Virgil on one of his better nights. The action isn't incredibly memorable but its not the focus either. Dibiase berating Virgil during the whole match is the important storytelling leading to a very cathartic face turn that gives the match an extra point"
[5.0] "This was a solid match that was more about the storytelling and what this match was leading up to rather than the match itself. Dusty is charismatic as always, and while I wish Dustin got a little more of a spotlight here due to how good he was, even back then, this match is really all about DiBiase. His heel work is just as good as it comes here. His mistreatment of Virgil really just makes you despise him. Every time he mocks or hits Virgil, you just want to see him get his ass kicked even more. The audience is just begging for Virgil to retaliate, but this match was merely the setup for what was to come after it. If just for the match itself, this one probably would have gotten 4 points from me, but the storytelling and masterful heel work from DiBiase moves it up. There's definitely not too much to see if you don't care about DiBiase or aren't invested in this storyline, but storyline aside, it was decent enough."
[6.0] "Very nice match that was all about pure character work. Dustin made a good debut here and Virgil looked decent too. DiBiase looked great working the crowd and trash talking Dusty, plus he's such an amazing heel that he's able to even get Virgil over."
[4.0] "This was just fine. The best part of this match was the set up for Dibiase and Virgil to feud as Ted was abusive to Virgil throughout the whole thing and Virgil gets the pop of his career by popping Ted in the face with the million dollar title after the match. I had no interest in seeing a past his prime WWF Dusty and a green Dustin teaming at this point; though I'm glad they got that moment."
[5.0] "Right back to the standard tag formula here. Dibiase has been more abusive to Virgil than usual and slaps him around in the match when he messes up. This is the end of Dusty in the WWF as he and his son are out the door as soon as the match is done. The heels gets the win and then the story tone is quickly shifted to Dibiase berating Virgil who starts standing up to him. Dibiase seems to break him down and then gloats, but then the biggest pop of the night and Virgil's career when he blasts Ted with the Million $ Belt. Bonus points to the guy in the crowd who beaned Dibiase with the coca cola cup."
[4.0] "Very basic match purely there to set up the post match angle. Dustin was only just starting out and Dusty was way past it by now so there wasn't much to see in ring. **"
[6.0] "The Rhodes will soon be heading to WCW right after this, but that doesn't mean they're mailing it in. Dusty was still in his usual fired-up self, and Dustin, though still green, was utilized well in a tag team setting. DiBiase was the key to the bout's success, constantly berating Virgil to build sympathy for him and dictating the tone of the matchup. The finish was flat as hell, with DiBiase simply rolling up Dusty after a missed charge. That doesn't matter, though, as DiBiase then insulted Virgil afterward. This caused Virgil to snap, as he clocked DiBiase with the Million Dollar Belt to a MASSIVE ovation from the crowd in one of the greatest face turns in history. The match itself was largely average, but it got by due to its incredible post-match segment. [**1/2]"
[4.0] "The whole purpose of this match was to light the fuse for the Dibiase-Virgil feud, plus Dustin is green and Dusty is on his way out of the door to start booking WCW (almost into the ground) so the actual match isn't too great. Watch it for the post-match angle though"
[5.0] "An average match, but the segment after it was really good. Virgil's long-awaited face-turn and the deafening reaction of the crowd is the main highlight of all action. Great moment."
[6.0] "This was a fun tag. Dustin Rhodes is already so good. They made Dusty look crap with the finish. Main reason to watch this is for Virgil finally turning on the Million Dollar Man in the post match angle to a monster pop."
[4.0] "The tag match itself told a very good story with DiBiase constantly abusing Virgil. This is also memorable for being Dusty's final match as a full-time wrestler, and also for being Dustin's PPV debut. However, the post match angle with Virgil finally snapping, attacking Ted DiBiase and turning babyface (to a monster pop! ) is what's must see from this match/segment. The match itself was basic but fun. **"
[9.0] "This tag match is GREAT fun in a totally different way than the opener, but I love it on a similar level to be honest. That match got by on top notch action, this one gets by on top tier story. They played the Ted/Virgil thing so well, and props to young Dustin for some beautiful knee selling as well as Dusty for being as fired up as ever in his last match as a full time wrestler."
