Reception

In 2007, Arnold Furious of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 1.5 [Extremely Horrendous], stating, "I’m nearing the end of my WCW coverage and it’s about damn time. The shows are genuinely getting worse with Booker/Kidman v Harlem Heat scoring MOTN here at *1/2. That’s just sad. If you see WCW on a tape and then 2000 after the initials then the show sucks. Avoid at all costs."[4]
