[5.0] "So the Rock has his first match after being off almost 4 months and we realize both what we love about him and what we don't like so much. The Rock, as much as I love him for his charisma, acting skills, selling, and just overall superstar energy, his match against Shane tonight was a good reminder that The Rock is only as good as his opponent. Shane vs The Rock is pretty much just a brawl, and a mini spotfest without a ton of great spots. Although I always do love when wrestlers go into the crowd, not just a pathway into the crowd, but actually do shit where they're bumping into regular people and walking across seats. So, kudos for that. But otherwise, main event was weak. Stone Cold vs Matt was pretty fun watch for how short it was. Stunning Lita was great. Of course the Tajiri match was awesome and I'm still enjoying anything Lance Storm related. The skits on this episode were great, especially Booker T trying to get an acting gig. But on the other hand, I am not a fan of breaking kayfabe, which, of course in order to make this set of skits work, they had to acknowledge The Rock as a hollywood star for the first time here. This isn't a bad episode at all but nothing I'd consider must-watch. Feel free to skip the episode entirely, you won't miss much."

[6.0] "Xpac vs Tajiri like RVD vs Tajiri was another good sprint of a match this week. Jericho, and Angle also had a good match against the dudley? s the main event between Rock and Shane Mcmahon was really fun. The Austin stuff with Hardy and Lita was funny and he had a solid match against Hardy as well. Booker T had some funny segments throughout the show on acting. The ending of the show helped to make the alliance look strong."

[5.0] "A quite secondary show throughout this Invasion storyline. Main Event was fine, but the rest is poor, or at least entertaining"

[8.0] "Watched for Tajiri vs X-Pac, which is a great sub-five minute match that is shame we can't recommend right here on this website. X-Pac was so good and for Tajiri it goes without saying that he is one of the greatest to ever do it. Very fun match with a great ending with the mist"
