[6.0] "The main event is a good match even though Kurt Angle got screwed. Other than that the show was kinda just there. Satisfactory."

[7.0] "Two WWE shows in a row put on PPV quality main events. I probably preferred the Raw ladder match to the cage match here but that doesn't take away from what was a super main event. I loved the Edge/Angle feud and this match was another gem. Randy Orton had the first of many title matches in his career here, randomly being paired with Taker. Dawn Marie debuted, giving Vince someone else to serve over. I genuinely laughed at the finish to the tag opener, where Rico fell on his opponent to retain the titles. Hurricane will hopefully find out who is stalking him soon. Good show."

[7.0] "This was a good show and good follow up to a spectacular Raw from this week. Another great main event, this time a cage match instead of a ladder match. Hogan interfering was great to hopefully set up a new feud. Randy Orton title match wasn't a squash, or even close, and it was actually good for a 5 minute match. Some weird shit during the hurricane match setting up a surprise for next week. The match itself was also fun. I am not sure what to think of what they're doing with Jericho. Last week he fought sexual chocolate and this week farooq? One minute he's a fighting universal champ, next minute he's working his way up to mid card? I don't get it. Test needs to go away but the match with HHH wasn't bad."

[4.0] "Outside of the awesome cage match and the cruiserweight match, the third best match was Undertaker vs. a very green Randy Orton, who was a long way away from becoming even what he was next year. Like usual for the pre-Heyman Smackdown, not much stood out about the rest of the show except Test getting a dirty win over HHH."

[9.0] "Very good week for WWE programming as this show followed the epic ladder match from RVD and Eddie Guerrero on Raw with a really good cage match main eventing Smackdown with Angle and Edge. I think Raw had the better main event, but this was the better overall show in my opinion. Besides the obviously great TV main event, there's also a unique match where Undertaker defended his title against Randy Orton. While they would obviously have better matches when Orton was a more established star, you could see the potential with Orton immediately. Triple H saving him from a beat down was definitely like a glimpse into the future. Triple H got the receipt though after his loss to Test."
