Reception

In 2021, Conrad Thompson said that the Konnan vs Stevie Ray match was "one of the worst matches" he has ever seen. Bischoff explained that, while the two of them were great stars, they did not have chemistry. In 2016, Kevin Pantoja of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 1.5 xtremely Horrendous stating, "Wow, this show sucked. It got off to a decent start with a pretty fun triangle tag team match but this fell way off of a cliff after. Nothing else on the show was even able to reach two stars. There was constant interference up and down the card as well as tons of phoned in performances from many of the guys on the card. Just a classic WCW experience from this time period."
