" In the May 1983 edition of Dragon (Issue 73), Tony Watson was disappointed. "The situation seems to be one that could be dealt with in a very exciting manner, but the game comes off rather flat. While the combat system is nicely crafted, it’s not very decisive, and the game generally turns into a series of little slugfests." Watson also found the third stage of the combat, the arrival of the Marines, to be "the biggest disappointment... They arrive with too few turns left in the game to be of much use.

On 1 November, it was reported that Valdez was looking to make a return to the ring at the Mexico City Arena on 12 January 2019. Later that month, a fight against 33 year old Spanish boxer Andoni Gago (20-3-3, 6 KOs) was finalized and would take place in Tucson, Arizona.

Outside of the lighttubes and barbed wire which gave him his fame, Butcher has also gained critical acclaim for his wild brawls and very physical "slugfests". Perhaps the most famous of these was his first match against TNA and ROH veteran Samoa Joe at the IWA Mid-South "Something To Prove" in 2005. Despite no weapons beyond a chair and a guardrail coming into play, the match was exceptionally brutal and well received by deathmatch fans and purists alike, proving that Butcher could put on compelling matches without necessarily needing the weapons with which he was normally associated. He also competed in the Chikara Tag World Grand Prix 2005 along with Mad Man Pondo (making it to the quarter-finals before being eliminated via disqualification for illegal tactics) and has wrestled (and won) a European catch wrestling match with Chris Hero.
