[5.0] "Main event had a good ending. Vince being all of the show is horrendous. Giving Eddie and Ultimo Dragon 3 mins is a war crime. Eddie didn't look too happy with the finish. The Brock / Kurt face run kinda stinks not gonna lie. At least we got to see the actual US title tournament bracket for the first time."

[7.0] "Solid Smackdown episode with a really good main event dispite the usually bad handicap stipulation with Brock Lesnar getting defeated by Big Show, Benjamin and Haas in a surprisingly competitive match that ended with a great spot. The Cena and Angle rap segment to start the show is hilarious and with some really goofy antics from Kurt. The bickering Angle and Lesnar backstage segments are also fun and the fatal four way Tag Team match was decent and set up a potentially great title match at Vengeance. Eddie Guerrero cuts a good heel promo, but fans clearly wasn't ready to boo him. It has it's weak points with the McMahon's getting a lot of focus again, Eddie vs Ultimo Dragon disappointingly cut short and the start of a pretty bizarre storyline with Jamie Noble and Torrie Wilson in yet another indecent proposal, because we're not seeing enough of that in 2003 WWE."

[8.0] "The opening segment between Cena and Angle was really good.I thought all of the wrestling on the show was pretty solid except for the mixed tag match. Eddie's promo confirming his heel turn was great, but the people are still embracing him as a heel. Like last week the Angle/Lesnar backstage segments were good again. The only downside to the show per usual is the stuff involving Vince, Stephanie, Sable, and Gowen. I still thought this was a good show though."

[9.0] "Another very fun show from this era. The main event is AWESOME, maybe the best handicap match ever, and I really dig the storytelling that lead up to it and dictated the way it went down. The four way tag was also quite good, both the backstage brawl and the in ring action was really well done. No bad matches, even the mixed tag was ok!"
