Readers of professional wrestling magazine Power Slam cast the same vote, with editor Fin Martin called it 'one of the worst matches ever held'. Even 'Mean' Gene described the contest as a 'disaster'
Hogan felt the match was 'ruined' when he botched a spot that he himself had devised - the infamous 'flash paper' incident, in which he was supposed to 'burn' the Warrior with flash paper but instead he lit the paper in his own face, legitimately burning his mustache and eyebrows. This led to an improvised ending in which Hogan’s nephew, Horace, hit Warrior with what Sports Illustrated writer Luke Winkie called ' the most unsatisfying chair shot in history' | The match that was too see Hogan get his dignity back from Wrestlemania VI. the match was way too comical both wrestlers were out of sync and way too many botches.
