Marcus Alexander Bagwell vs. Steve Austin

[5.0] "Austin laying out the challenge that he could beat Bagwell in less than 10 minutes was a bit strange considering the overwhelming majority of Saturday Night matches are already shorter than that anyway - not a very impressive claim. The match was pretty average for the most part, but I enjoyed Austin's increasing desperation as the match went on, along with Bagwell's strategy to run out the clock. Nothing all that compelling, but it all made sense and was executed well enough."

[5.0] "Very strange psychology in this one. It shows that Bagwell is smart, which is great, but why is the babyface purposely trying to run down the clock? Just threw me off. Besides that, the match is fine. Both men had not found their true selves in wrestling yet so it was pretty bare bones. The final minute got heated in a good way. Nice match."

[5.0] "A good match, even with the babyface trying to run out the clock late. Some solid drama near the end."

[4.0] "The traditional psychology is a little off here, I feel like. With Bagwell trying to run out the clock by staying outside. But other than that this was nothing special."

[4.0] "I expected a lot more given the stipulation. This was nothing special even with Brian Pillman on commentary. The Hollywood Blonds are supposed to be the top contenders for the tag team titles, yet here are they are going head-to-head with Marcus Alexander Bagwell of all people, who really was nothing special in early 93. Pillman got pinned by Bagwell some time earlier to set up this challenge by Austin. Bagwell kept running away to reach the time limit even though he's supposed to be this awesome fighting rookie who's willing to take on anybody. This wasn't very good. [*3/4]"
