[8.0] "Very overrated in-ring when you look at the actual quality of the matches, most sound better than they were in reality, particularly the likes of Edge/Eddie and Flair/Jericho. There are some amazing bits though, Rey/Angle is fantastic, Benoit/RVD very good, Shawn's return and match with HHH incredible and a very good main that set Lesnar up as the next top guy. But there's only one truly top tier match and one match just below that, elsewhere the tag match and Taker/Test are both crap while the rest ranges from decent to one aforementioned very good match. Does that an all timer make? Not for me, I never saw this one live back in the day so I've always judged it based on how it compared to what has come after it and it doesn't hold up compared to all timers we've seen in multiple companies in the couple of decades plus that followed."

[7.0] "I think for me personally this PPV is brought down by the fact that I don't enjoy the Michaels/HHH match as much as others. It's still a good show though. The opener and main event were the best, which is what every show should be aiming for really."

[7.0] "What a Summerslam! This is an event filled with outstanding match after match. You KNOW you have a good card when you can honestly say Jericho and Flair put on the worst match of the night. And that is really the only subpar bout on this entire card. Triple H/Shawn is highly regarded for a reason, the Angle/Mysterio opener is breathtaking, and Edge/Eddie have something of an underrated gem! I think my only complaint is...its too much of one type of match. Every match but one is a singles match. And of the 7 singles matches, only one has a stipulation. So 75% of the card is a basic one on one match. Sometimes even with little in the ways of a feud going into it. Still, absolutely one of the greatest Summerslams ever, and probably would make a list of top 10-15 PPVs of all time for me!"

[9.0] "One of the best PPV cards in company history. The street fight between Hunter and Shawn should have been the main event, it was a banger of a match."

[9.0] "One of the better PPVs in 2002 with three great matches on it and the only bad being Undertaker/Test. the era of the Beast begins at SummerSlam 2002."

[9.0] "Love this PPV, easily in the top 5 Summerslam's of all time. Angle Vs. Mysterio and HHH Vs. Michaels were the best matches of the night, but all the other matches were decent enough. This is when WWE was worth watching, miles away from the shit we have today."

[10.0] "Almost a perfect event. The unsanctioned match was the MOTN but there were no bad matches on this show."

[10.0] "Asides from the best Wrestlemanias, No WWE PPV receives as much acclaim as Summerslam 2002 and for good reason. This is just a top to bottom excellent show with a stellar card, a stacked roster of talent, and a nice bit of variety throughout. We saw some breathtaking, fast-paced intensity with the opener between Angle/Mysterio, which Rey look like a superstar even in loss. Edge/Eddie was a solid, well-worked match between pros, RVD/Benoit delivered some fine ass technical wrestling that really got the fans when it really kicked into gear, and even Taker/Test was a fun hoss-fest. HHH/HBK stole the show in a gripping and intense Street Fight that showed that HBK was still the showstopper. The main event between Lesnar/Rock was great as well, featuring a hot crowd and a classic heel/face dynamic. The whole card is incredible with no real weak spots, making for an excellent show."

[9.0] "One of the greatest shows WWE has ever produced. Angle/Mysterio show out in the opener. The midcard other than a passable Taker/Test match is at least in the 3 star territory, follow that up with one of the greatest double main events they have ever produced and you've got a show that will forever stand the test of time as one of the best. Probably in my top 3 to 5 favorite shows of all time."

[10.0] "Both Jericho Vs Flair and Un-Americans Vs Goldust and Booker were just mildly decent and Undertaker Vs Test was bad, but Guerrero Vs Edge was good, both RVD Vs Benoit and Lesnar Vs Rock were fantastic, Mysterio Vs Angle was absolutely brilliant, Michaels Vs Triple H unsanctioned is really phenomenal, the crowd was molten red hot and the whole show was just straight vibes from start to finish. Overall WWE SummerSlam (2002) is a really phenomenal show, both the best SummerSlam ever and one of the all time best WWE PPVs ever."

[9.0] "I've been looking forward to this PPV for months now. Wasn't sure why until the weeks leading up to it, and it definitely did not disappoint. Fuckin Benoit and RVD match was such a strange clash of styles but it was really fun. Also obviously HHH/HBK was a great match and post-match shenanigans. Perfect really. HBK got his revenge and HHH did as well. HBK fuck man I missed him. He's soooo good. 4 years ago I couldn't imagine HHH being in a match this big. He's made great strides overall. Great presence even if he doesn't have half the move set or charisma that HBK does. He is just on a whole different level. The Rock vs Brock, I was not expecting Brock to win but I was pretty sure that Rock was not going to get out of that 2nd F5 attempt after countering the first one. I was waiting for Hogan to run in and save the day, but nah, fuck that, Brock is now your champ and is ushering in the new era. This reminds me of when Kane won his title so quickly after his debut in that I just didn't expect the WWF to make that kind of decision. Angle/Rey was fucking awesome and on any other PPV would have been the MOTN. I wasn't feeling Edge/eddie like everyone else. I think I just don't think that Edge is as good as everyone is but Eddie was great and has been getting better. His massive bulk up during his last injury probably was his eventual cause of death, but it's what elevated him to be as relevant and popular as he'd eventually become. I think his wrestling has also improved since coming back from injury. Flair/Jericho was a waste of time and the tag match was ok. Undertaker/Test was a piss break for me, I didn't press pause, but from reading the reviews, I made the correct decision. Can't give this a 10 as there weren't any great promos and the backstage stuff was sloppy. They could have pre-recorded the steph/bischoff interaction. But this was the best WWF PPV in a very long time."

[10.0] "one of the best wwe ppvs of all time. stacked card with fantastic matches, some technical, some storyline driven. great crowd, presentation, and main event(s). a must watch for all wrestling fans."

[7.0] "This was a good PPV, but there were a lot of weaker matches. Also, it's super disappointing that there is no women's match, especially during this era when the women's title was being defended on a regular basis. They always seemed to snub the women when it comes to SummerSlam!"

[8.0] "The middle portion is overrated, but the beginning and end are UNREAL. Maybe the best back to back matches ever on a PPV."

[9.0] "An excellent PPV in its entirety. The matches are all very dynamic and follow one another quickly without us seeing the time pass. The pre-match promos are good and hype us for the matches. The crowd is very responsive during the matches that are needed. The opener is superb, the following matches are very correct. The tag match is a surprise for me even if at the in-ring level there is not much but it manages to keep us on the edge of our seats and the audience is all in. RVD Vs Benoit is above the previous matches, except for the opener, but in a card like this it is completely forgettable. I recommend watching it separately. Undertaker Vs Test we could have done without it but we had to bring the audience down before the two Main Events. HBK Vs HHH is a gem, still a reference today. And the main Main Event is great. MOTN: HBK Vs HHH (4*3/4)"

[10.0] "My Favorite Wrestling show of all time. The Show opens up with a very good and fast paced match between two legends in Kurt Angle Vs Rey Mysterio, this was a blast to watch and there was an bunch of cool moves, highflying, suplexes, submissions, reversals everything u can ask for in a match. Kurt angle picks up the win by making Rey tap out t the ankle Lock. It is the best match under 10 minutes of all time. The Second Match on the show is a match between two all time greats in Chris Jericho Vs Ric Flair they have a decent 10 minute not good but not bad just ok. After that we have Eddie Guerrero Vs Edge in a very solid singles match Eddie went after edge's shoulder and attacked which was a cool dynamic but at the end edge ended up being victorious after hitting a spear. The Fourth match on the show was for the tag team titles between the champions Christian and Lance Storm vs Goldust and Booker T the match was ok nothing really to say about it besides that it was fine. Next theirs a fun Rob Van Dam vs Chris Benoit match for the united states championship that RVD ended up retaining in a entertaining match. Next up is the Worst match of the Night between the Undertaker and test in not a good match and not worthy of being on a such a big show like Summerslam. Now we have the best match of the night between my favorite wrestler of all time HBK and Triple H, this was Shawn's first match in 5 years and it couldn't be a against a better appointment then best friend Triple H and they killed each other in this unsanctioned it was bloody, brutal, grueling and super entertaining to watch. My Favorite between the two of them in their great feud. And Now it's time for the Main event you have The Rock is slowly moving more and more to Hollywood vs the Beast Brock Lesnar who is the next big thing and future of the WWE. This match is amazing, super fun to watch, the crowd was red hot just really good stuff. The Show ends with Brock being the new WWE Champion after hitting an F5 on the Rock to win. I love this show so much, everything was amazing the stage is the best Summerslam stage ever. The vibe is amazing everything is just perfect"

[7.0] "This is a very good SS and a very good PPV in general most matches are fun and exciting while there's some duds the overall enjoyment of this PPV is very high and I would recommend this PPV to anyone: rewatching or for the first time! Highlights are Rey vs Angle, Edge vs Eddie, RVD vs Benoit, HBK vs HHH, and Brock vs The Rock!"

[7.0] "The best Summerslam yet, and arguably ever. Everything other than Undertaker vs. Test, which is still decent, is good to fantastic. Match 1: 9/10 Match 2: 6/10 Match 3: 7/10 Match 4: 6/10 Match 5: 8/10 Match 6: 5/10 Match 7: 10/10 Match 8: 9/10 Overall Total: 7.50/10"

[8.0] "Heel Howard Finkel aside, This is one of the best WWE shows I've seen. There are basically no flaws with it. The undertaker match isn't geat but it also isn't long and wasn't that bad to sit through. Most of the matches are worth watching, and all the matches had heat (what a concept right). I guess there was that weird makeout contest part, that was gross. Other than that, it was top-notch. Even the hardcore match I really enjoyed."

[9.0] "A great show with just one match dragging it down. The opener was an incredible PPV debut for Mysterio with Angle making sure that Rey looked like million bucks, Flair vs Jericho had a nice veteran vs younger guy scenario with Ric impressing once more with his phenomenal cardio, while Edge vs Guerrero didn't differ much from other Copeland matches, but it was still fine. WWF Tag Title match wasn't anything special, but it was all about Booker and how over he was with the fans, RVD vs Benoit had a nice angle of Chris working on Van Dam's shoulder in an overall exciting title contest and Taker vs Test was the only underwhelming match here, mostly because of Deadman going back to his awful babyface biker gimmick. Then Michaels vs Triple H was a perfect returning match for HBK and easily the best thing on this show, with Shawn showing that he didn't lose a step in the physical department but also with his ability to get people emotionally involved and the main event started off with a fantastic pace and didn't slow down at no point. Rocky was able to adapt once more to getting booed and the atmosphere surrounding the whole bout was great - just a fantastic moment to put the title on a new star."

[7.0] "I got an original broadcast version so it included the sick as shit Benoit match. Main show takeaways? I'm utterly shocked they're already doing the dumb storyline in PPV thing, I'm completely sick of every wrestler's name during the first match (use a fucking pronoun and talk like a real human being), and I love the speed and intensity of all the work in this. I think it's worked faster than modern matches, I was checking match lengths because I was thinking that I might have been watching it at 1.25 speed except for the Triple H match. The matches were all very good (with a couple notable exceptions for a couple different reasons.) There's a "win a makeout session with Nidia" contest at WWE The World and of course the acting in this show is subporn acting especially with both Bishoff and Steph. Finishers are too strong during this time period, every match ends with a non-submission hit in a desperation, in two matches (Edge and RVD) they got almost no offense in before hitting that finisher and winning anyway. Low blows are in 5 of the 8 matches. There's a fucking misogynistic angle with Howard Finkle and Trish Stratus. Finke got to call women skanks and then immediately turn into a moron when a girl tells him she thinks he's cute. But hey, we GOTTA make sure that we get less than 20 minutes for the main event. And how could Vince let the lines "You've got the puppies and I've got the weiner" go right? Overall, very good show downgraded a bit for the annoying WWE bullshit."

[8.0] "Possibly the most solid WWFE ppv of 2002, maybe even better than Mania 18 as this one lacked a lot of the junky filler matches."

[8.0] "A show where half the matches are only average can't really count as the best show ever, but this still had more great matches than the vast majority of WWE shows. The high point was Shawn Michaels' return, and he looked as good as ever, and a few other matches came close. Definitely a recommended show."

"One of the best SummerSlam shows ever, all matches are solid and the main events deliver. Brock v Rock was a standout as well as the opener between Rey and Angle. Very solid event, undertaker v test lets this one down imo, but overall I'd give it 9.5/10"

[10.0] "This is not only the best Summerslam of all time, but also one of the very best PPV's the WWE has ever done and although Wrestlemania X-Seven is my favourite PPV ever, I do think this show has the more consistent match quality. It has Shawn Michaels in a masterful comback performance against Triple H, the coronation of the Next Big Thing as Brock Lesnar wins his first World Championship, the lightning fast curtain raiser between Rey Mysterio and Kurt Angle and a very good battle between Edge and Eddie Guerrero and I almost forgot the Intercontinental title bout between RVD and Chris Benoit. The card is absolutely stacked here with all but 3 men on the card at e point in their careers wining a World Championship and it delivers big time. It was a special event to me because having missed prime Shawn Michaels in his title run and his contributions to kicking off the Attitude Era, his performance instantly made him one of my all time favourite wrestlers and little did anyone know it was the start of a new run that was arguably greater than his first. It was the match of the year for me and an utter masterpiece of storytelling and drama. The crowd going for the heel Lesnar over The Rock also created a unique atmosphere for the main event where a brand new star is at the top. An essential classic PPV to watch."

[4.0] "This wasn't as good as i thought it would be. The best match was Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio that stole the show, Undertaker vs Test and Chris Jericho vs Ric Flair were simply bad matches and i was honestly expecting a better match between Shawn Michaels and Triple H. I think it was too long and HBK lack of selling hurt the match. The other matches were mediocre and the only thing memorable that happened was the comeback of Shawn Michaels but besides that nothing much happened at the PPV."

[10.0] "The build up to this PPV was more more calculated & well structured than any other in a long time, almost everything on this card meant something (what a throwback concept LOL! ). Angle vs Mysterio open & open HOT, action packed from pillar to post with almost no breathing room & their two styles invite such an affair. Tremendous opener & the best "curtain jerker" for a big show in forever. Is there a list of top 10 opening matches? If so, this should be on it. Short but Impactful! Next up is Flair vs Jericho; some very audible chops from both. Flair starts looking super old & tired about halfway through. It ends a bit abruptly with a submission via The Figure 4. Since the first match also ended in a submission, I think it was a missed opportunity for a 3 count via the figure 4, but I guess it's nice to see the move given submission credibility for a change. Solid, despite the obvious;y rushed end. Eddie Guerrero vs Edge is next and early in the match we establish the only true limb work of the night: Edge's recently injured left shoulder. About the second the crowd begins to bore (because early 00's'murica) the two quadruple the pace (at least) into an exciting climax. Eddie is so freakin great; his versatility as a wrestler/performer is constantly displayed, I could never tire of this man. Very enjoyable! Booker T & Goldust vs Storm & Christian; Being a fan of both teams (well, the unamerican *gimmick* was crap) I knew I would enjoy. Even down to the fart in church ending - this was classic tag team wrestling 101. Zero complaints! Everyone did fantastic work this night. I will not watch nor rate any Benoit match, but if memory serves me correct RVD brought the IC title to RAW, where it was soon vacated but thankfully brought back - because the WWE had no idea WTF they were doing on a week to week basis, EVEN (especially? ) THEN. Now onto the first of 2 "Forgone conclusions". I regret not fast forwarding past this match. The Undertaker sucks; WWE is some kinda monster machine with their revisionist history, cuz this era of Mark Calloway is diarrhea. the crowd was DEAD except for: old school, chokeslams & tombstone. HARD PASS. Shawn Michaels makes his return to the ring after a long absence and us the wrestling fans were READY. Almost no one is on Michaels' level of in ring story telling. Marvelous stuff, a triumphant return and a pivotal moment in wrestling at the time. Michael's reintroduced what I call "JAWS" style wrestling (slower/more natural build). Lastly, "Forgone Conclusion #2" We all knew The Rock was headed to Hollywood and Brock Lesnar was the heir apparent. There are "rocky sucks" chants peppering the match & noticeable boos when Rock applies his ugly "sharpshooter". Still though, better than many main event WWE matches (which were never ever my style). Fast forwarding moments discredited: One of WWE's best PPV's. 9.5 rounded up."

[10.0] "I'd say that this was the best Summer Slam of all time. It was better than the '92 event and that one was really good too."

[10.0] "An overall fun show where everything serves its purpose and nothing overstays its welcome. You get a hot New York crowd, Brocks first world title win coming against The Rock, Shawn Michaels return match, and a hot PPV opener and you know you're getting a good show. Matches from best to worst: Shawn Michaels vs Triple H ****1/2, Brock Lesnar vs The Rock ****1/4, Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio ****1/4, RVD vs Chris Benoit ***3/4, Edge vs Eddie Guerrero ***1/2, Booker T& Goldust vs Un-Americans ***, Chris Jericho vs Ric Flair ***, Undertaker vs Test **1/2"

"Best summerslam of all time, top to bottom the card is stacked. Angle vs. Mysterious is probably the best opening match ever, and definitely a contender for best summerslam match ever. Everything except for Undertaker vs Test was awesome, and even then that was still a decent match. Both of the last two matches have a right to be called the main event. A must see."

[10.0] "This is one of the best Summerslam ever . You have one of the best opener to summerslam and best opener to a PPV. Then you have two solid matches in flair vs jericho as well as edge vs eddie. Then you have and ok tag team match. After the tag match we get a very underrated IC title match between Benoit and RVD, after this we have and ok match with test and taker after this the show skyrockets with triple h vs shawn michael and you end with a very good main event match with brock vs the rock."

[10.0] "One of the best cards from start to finish, from starpower to match quality, capped off by the return of the greatest wrestler/performer of all time. Brilliant card, brilliant comeback, and reminder why he's the best ever."

[7.0] "Crowd is insanely hot thru the entirety of the show. Every Match delivered in one way or another except Test vs Taker. I watched in one sitting..that says something with my ADD Trips and Shawn is Top notch stuff"

[10.0] "The best SummerSlam event in my opinion. No wonder seeing as most of the competitors in this event where either former world champions, or would go on to become world champions. You have five fantastic bouts perfectly placed throughout the event. Kurt vs. Rey is one of the best openers in history, and fast paced. Edge vs. Eddie helped both men, and would continue their rivalry onto better things. The WWE Intercontinental Title Match between Rob Van Dam and Chris Benoit brings sheer work rate, and showed why the Intercontinental Title is valued. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H and The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar are two of the best matches in the history of SummerSlam, and makes for an amazing semi-main and main event of this show respectively. Each of the five matches bring something different to the table, and all are fantastically worked. Flair vs. Jericho, the World Tag title match, and Test vs. Undertaker did what they needed to do and where keep relatively short. This is one of my all time favourite WWE PPVs due to everything flowing nicely thanks to most matches not going on too long. Which allowed the longer matches to have a special feeling about them. The work rate in WWE from July 2002 to December 2002 was unmatched. And while Survivor Series 2002 is more entertaining that takes my number 4 in my all time favourite WWE PPVs. And this takes my number 3 spot thanks to this show focusing more on work rate, and I have some sentimental value toward this one since it was the first one I watched before I watched Survivor Series 2002. SummerSlam 2002 and Survivor Series 2002 are two of my favourites thanks to nostalgia, heavily recommend watching both of them. But anyways this is the best SummerSlam of all time in my eyes, and is worthy of a high rating on this site."

[6.0] "A mostly good show, and easily the best WWE/F show since Wrestlemania 17 in 2001. Angle vs Mysterio was a very fun, fast-paced opener with a great mix of styles. Just wish it went longer. ***3/4. Y2J vs Flair was awkwardly worked and had a distraction finish. **1/2. Eddie vs Edge was alright, though the win came out of nowhere. ***. Christian & Storm vs Booker & Goldust had the latter team as fun babyface underdogs, though the interference was annoying. **3/4. Benoit vs RVD was quite good. Benoit was aggressive and RVD was impressively acrobatic. ***1/4. Test vs Undertaker was the worst match on the show. Test was boring in control and Taker lethargically went through the motions as he did his signature spots. **. Michaels vs HHH was pretty good. I liked the story of HBK having his first match in 4 years and having to shake off a lot of dust before finding his groove again. HBK worked the crowd very well and they were super hyped for him. HHH was solid all-around, selling HBK's offence well and always being dastardly evil. A shame about HBK totally ignoring his back-selling after his signature kip-up, but at least HHH's back-work prior to that was very good. ***1/4-***1/2. Rock vs Brock was pretty good. I liked how monstrous Lesnar was here, perfectly playing his character and delivering his offence. Rock was shown as far too overly eager to go toe-to-toe with him, which cost him as Lesnar easily just ate him up and always cut off his comebacks. Heyman's interference was annoying, of course, but both men were nicely energetic and produced a nice pace with engaging exchanges. The finishing stretch was surprisingly *not* overkill, at least by usual WWE standards, since both guys only hit one finisher each before Lesnar got the F5 for the win, and they actually threw in some creative and exciting run-on counters leading up to the finish itself, which great to see and a fantastic change from the usual "finisher spam" WWE Championship matches usually devolved into. ***1/4. The MOTN was sadly the first match here, and nothing else lived up to it so everything else felt quite underwhelming, though overall there was still a greater balance of good content than bad content here."

[9.0] "This pay per view was loaded. It was a lot of great in quality matches one after another. My favorite match was Brock Lesnar vs. The Rock. Glad everyone was able to knock the roof off the bulilding on this one."

[8.0] "I think it's funny when people on social media post the card to this event with some stupid ass caption like "the IWC nowadays would complain about any show even if it looked like this" which cracks me up every time. I find this so funny because besides the opener, every match before HBK and HHH could seriously get thrown in the garbage can of forgettable matches, never to be seen again. That being said, the opener between Mysterio and Angle is a genuine classic up there with Bret and Owen in contention for best opening match of all time. Brock and Rock was a good WWE main event match, and HHH vs HBK was a really good 15 minute match stretched out to just under 30 (which would become a theme for this two chucklefucks). The middle matches aren't bad or anything. I mean, I didn't even mind Taker vs Test. Booker was mega over in the tag match, and we got some decent performances from RVD, Eddie, Edge and Benoit in matches that weren't classics or anything, but not bad or anything."

[10.0] "This has been considered the greatest SummerSlam event of all time for years now as well as being one of the best PPVs in the entire history of professional wrestling. I have watched this twice now and I enjoyed it even moreso in the second time as I did the first. We got three ****+ bouts, one of which being one of the best matches of the whole year. A couple of fun ***+ in the undercard. A red hot NY crowd that unquestionably RULED the show's atmosphere. The bad stuff (UT/Test) was kept short, and no slog really."

[10.0] "Top to bottom, this card is a classic PPV! Epic opener between Rey and Kurt, Eddie and Edge start their trilogy of awesome matches, RVD and Benoit beat each other up, Shawn and HHH... amazing. And Brock Lesnar's quick ascension to the top is culminated with a win over the Rock. Amazing show!"

[9.0] "Very entertaining show, I never got bored. A lot of good matches. For me there was only one boring match (Test Vs Undertaker). I see why a lot of people call this PPV one of the best of all times."

[8.0] "Good show but 9. 34 is overrated . Angle Vs Mysterio was awesome . Unsanctioned match and main event were 4 stars. Rest of the card was ok"

[8.0] "Pretty great show. Has a great match in Brock vs Rock and one that's borderline great in Rey vs Angle. The rest of the show was fun and easy to watch. No bad matches just forgettable ones. Best To Worst: Brock Lesnar vs The Rock - [****1/4]. Rey Mysterio vs Kurt Angle - [***3/4]. Chris Benoit vs. Rob Van Dam - [***1/2]. Chris Jericho vs Ric Flair - [***]. The UnAmericans vs Booker T & Goldust - [***]. Triple H vs Shawn Michaels - [**1/2]. Eddie Guerrero vs. Edge - [**1/2]. Test vs. The Undertaker - [**]."

[10.0] "Hands down the most consistent quality PPV I've ever seen. WM X-Seven is often regarded as the best PPV of all time and I agree wholeheartedly but it does have its share of dud matches. This PPV however, has only two good matches (Taker v Test and Benoit vs RVD, I'm just not a huge fan honestly but it's still got its share of great spots) but everything else ranges from great (Angle vs Mysterio, Eddie vs Edge and Flair vs Jericho are some personal favs) to almost perfect with Brock vs Rock chalked up with a perfect semi-main in HHH vs Michaels, one of my new fav matches of all time. Such a fucking good PPV, probably my 2nd fav of all time."

[10.0] "One of the all time great WWE shows, this is a must watch PPV. There are two average matches in the show but the rest of the card is so strong it doesnt matter. Angle and Mysterio had ridiculously good chemistry during their opener which was as good as a ten minute match can be. Edge and Eddie had a basic but impressive match with decent psychology. The tag team match was good with a dirty finish. Benoit and RVD had a great match that was only burdened by it's pace. Triple H & HBK had a bloody and brutal match packed full of intensity and emotion which delivered everything it promised and ended perfectly. The Main Event was a great match with Rock and Brock just working the crowd perfectly, plus the manager play with Heyman was great."

[9.0] "Excellent show. Fast-paced opener that got me hooked and then a great blend of intense matches and storytelling. Not a single match on the card dips below ***"

[7.0] "A very good pay per view. I really enjoyed the opening match and Edge v Eddie, the tag team match, and the rvd Beniot were also very nice. The Shawn Michaels Triple H was definitely the highlight of the card though and stole the show a great story with a nice match to back it up. The main event was a little bit lackluster considering the match that just took place but was very good none the less. Overall a solid pay per view."

[7.0] "Overall a good event but not as good as people make it out to be. Angle/Rey (***1/2), Jericho/Flair (***), Edge/Guerrero (***3/4) UnAmericans/Bookdust (*3/4) Benoit/RVD (***3/4) Taker/Test (*1/2) HHH/HBK (***1/4) and Brock/Rock which was Fantastic and highly underrated IMO (****1/4)."

[8.0] "This was a pretty good PPV, however was just short of a full home run. I couple of the match ups (Taker/Test was one of them) just did not do it for me. It did however have the big moments of Shawn Michael's return and Brock Lesnar's final ascension to the top of the company that made it a PPV worthy of many re-watches."

[10.0] "One of the greatest PPV's of all time and definitely in WWE's top 10. The show was just so action packed and hyped perfectly. All the right people went over and Jim Ross on commentary was particularly great this night. This show put Lesnar on the map. Amazing PPV. Two Thumbs Up"
