Reception
In 2016, Kevin Pantoja of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 4.5 [Poor], stating, "There was certainly some potential on this show. The Television Title, United States Title and Chavo/Ultimo Dragon matches were good stuff. Most of the event was filled with the classic WCW overbooking and referee bumps. There were a few matches that were absolutely dreadful, but there are some things worth a look. Check out the matches I mentioned and skip the rest."[4]
