Reception
According to David of Wrestling Recaps, "This show was worth finding at a time when it had the only easily accessible RVD/Jerry Lynn match." He further added "While time has lessened its value, Living Dangerously 99 is a good show nonetheless."[1]
The Wrestling Revolution staff described it "Overall, a pretty good show from ECW, with the top matches all delivering. Just skip New Jack vs. Mustafa and you will definitely have a good time watching this show."[2]
Scott Keith of 411Mania gave negative reviews on Living Dangerously, stating "Everything was by the numbers, with no surprises and a couple of crap filler matches that WCW would get crucified for including." He further wrote "Not as bad as Wrestlepalooza, but still pretty bad. Thumbs way down."[3]
Mike Whaley of the SLAM! Sports section of
Chris Gramlich of SLAM! Sports also gave positive reviews to the event as he wrote "Once one accepts that constant perfection is an unattainable goal, logically it comes down to batting average and ECW once again comes through with a very strong outing with Living Dangerously 99'. While not quite as good as January's "Guilty as Charged" offering, Living Dangerously was a consistent effort amid rumors of imminent departures, financial trouble and as always the general instability which permeates the air of any ECW endeavor."[5]
