[5.0] "The last WWE PPV before the PG era begins and...it is full of ups and downs. Jericho/Shawn gets the most praise, but it's very boring and overrated for me despite a good story being told. Benjamin and Hardy end up being match of the night for me, and both world title matches were much better than I was expecting them to be. You have the debut of the Divas title that no one cared about, an ECW title heel turn from a nobody, and John Cena surviving a burning car like he was a Terminator on the flip side. All utterly terrible, ridiculous, or both. For better or worse, this is a card that will keeps you entertained for the good parts and silly parts, but it isn't a card to write home about. A pretty average way to end the PG-13 era of the company."

[6.0] "Another completely watchable and digestible show that doesn't have that much of an impact on you for both positive and negative reasons. Edge & Triple H, JBL & Cena and HBK & Jericho all have good matches, with the latter two being the most memorable from this show. The last TV-14 WWE PPV wasn't an all timer, but it wasn't bad either."

[4.0] "This show features a Colin Delaney heel turn, Mike Adamle on commentary, the debut of the Divas Championship (with a match lasting four minutes and ending in an unnamed submission hold) and a Kane run-in in 2008. The only positive here is the HBK Jericho match that only serves to further the story opposed a concluding match, and even before its conclusion it doesn't reach the heights of their Mania 19 or No Mercy 2008 encounter. Otherwise the parking lot brawl is harmless fun. Everything else is skippable entirely."

[4.0] "Two good matches, a few disappointing ones and one horrible excuse of a brawl. The started out with a Tag Team chaos that wasn't the worst in terms of work, but it also had Hornswoggle in it which made the whole bout unserious from the beginning. Shelton vs Matt was decent and it was great to see Benjamin back in the singles competition, Henry vs Dreamer proved once again that Tommy can't have a normal wrestling match and Jericho vs Michaels had a fantastic angle for the finish, but HBK's eye injury was buried by Cena and JBL who were throwing each other through car windows without hurting themselves at all. Awful, fake and stupid brawl that didn't even resemble a brawl since both guys were just doing wrestling moves to each other. Punk vs Batista was fine until the finish that was just lazy and if anything made me grown, which also was the case for the main event with Vickie and Alicia ruining the whole thing for me. So yeah, not a good PPV, but at least Jericho's and Michaels' feud saved it a little."

[5.0] "Batista vs CM Punk is disappointing, it makes Punk first title reign weak. John Cena vs JBL is better, good brawl but not near their I Quit match from 2005. Triple H vs Edge is okay but not so good. Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho is one of the most brutal matches of that time. Also Hardy vs Benjamin is good enough, but the rest of the card is really weak. It's an okay show but it has many flaws."
