[6.0] "You may think my score for this episode is low, but hear me out... Michael cole said during the angle/kane match: "i never thought I'd see the day where kurt angle and stone cold are working together". I just don't understand this, they were like best buds sharing cowboy hats and singing songs to each other just 3 months ago. Michael Cole is the fucking worst. He must be Vince's 2nd cousin to keep this job as long as he has. anyway.... This episode was weak on promos. The Rock had an extremely serious promo against Y2J and Angle had the typical "here's why i turned heel" speech, which he delivered ok but it was stupid. That's all that i remember, there may have been a few other skits but I'm not sure. Booker T and Test end up winning the WWF tag title. Vomit. I know that they didn't actually "win" it, it was more that Y2J and Rock lost it due to two of the best in the business having a hard time not accidentally attacking each other somehow. I think I commented on one of last week's episodes that sometimes the WWF knows what it's doing when they randomly throw the tag title on two main event singles guys. Hmm I didn't realize they'd also do this for two non-main event singles guys. Or fucking TEST. lmaoooo. Dudleys vs Hardy's in a mixed tag match was interesting. Really just envision a typical hardys/dudleys match but with Lita and stacy interfering. Same shit. Really all I want out of this is the day when hopefully Bubba turns on Stacy and tables her ass. However, props to Stacy, I think she adds some good flavor to the dudleys and I like her as their valet. As a tag partner, meh, we'll see. RVD vs Edge - ok first off here's what i like about this... Edge needs more visibility, as he's the current KOTR and he hasn't really done much outside of his christian feud. RVD is a fine guy for Edge to get that visibility with because RVD is must watch tv right now. But here's what i hate. After Edge beat RVD clean last week, we double down by having TEST coming in to save the day for RVD? Are we saying now, after RVD proving that he can hang with guys levels above KOTR level, that Edge is all of a sudden more levels above RVD? Because for the past few months, RVD has been a main eventer, and Edge hasn't even sniffed it. Fucking TEST has been involved in more main events than Edge. Edge has been feuding with Christian who really isn't on either of their levels. But now RVD basically loses two matches in a row against Edge, and he needs TEST? TEST? WOW. This shit is so fucking stupid. STOP WITH TEST! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? what the fuck ever. There's a match between Tajiri and Regal, which is interesting. Definitely a grudge match and this one actually felt emotional. I realize it stems from "invasion" but there's more to it as it seems these two were actually friends over the past couple months. Anyway, Regal smokes him.. I have to say that Regal's new music is pretty menacing, I like it. It has flavors of the undertaker's early theme music back when he was a scary character. Anyway, this match was cool, I liked it. Main event is a WWF Title match between undertaker vs Stone cold and I'm going to say this as a guy who really isn't a fan of the undertaker... it's refreshing to see him wrestle a match against someone who actually matters every once in a while. It feels like forever since he's had a legit match. Weird feuds with Test, booker T, Kronik (where the fuck did they go) and then the "Sara" series of squash matches. Anyway, they did the same with Kane vs Angle tonight which I will talk about now I guess. The kane/angle match probably was also Kane's best match in a very long time, maybe the entire year honestly. There haven't been many Kane matches recently that i'd consider "interesting", and this one kept my interest. He showed some good moves here as well. So, back to the main event... This actually felt like a big deal. Do you know why? Well, partly it's because they don't put the WWF Title on the line 2 times per fucking week like the WCW title or the tag titles. (please combine the belts or destroy WCW belts after survivor series, pleeeeease! ) Undertaker tries to run stone cold over with his bike and there's about a 5 minute brawl before the match even starts. It was overall a good match that had some close calls, however, everyone in the building knew that the undertaker was not going home with the belt tonight, so for that, the suspense wasn't as thick as it could have been if this were a PPV match, or a match that had more than 10 minutes of history to it. Stone cold gets help from Angle who interferes and Undertaker wins by DQ. Ending is fun with the Alliance guys sharing beers. Austin is also bleeding all over the place, which I felt was unnecessary, but what do I know. The show was better than the last few, but I am going to refuse to give a very positive review until they start bringing the humor and the fun back. The brief "what, what what" thing angle and austin did was as close as it got. And why oh why can't the rock make people laugh anymore? Why are you doing this to him?"

[6.0] "In a rematch from Raw this time Booker and Test are able to capitalize on the mistake from Rock and Jericho. Angle makes Kane tap out and finally gets his medals back from Austin lol, those two had a lot of really good backstage segments. The wrestling on this show was pretty solid with the best match probably bring the main event but it ended in a DQ, although the beatdown on Taker to end the show was good."
