[6.0] "Not as good as the other draft Raw. The middle part of the show was not as memorable as the beginning and end."

[8.0] "Really fun Raw here with the focus primarily on the ECW PPV, which is really well set up with the rumours of Paul Heyman being on the show being a good hook for the entire episode. The Dudleys show up after being out for months and make a big impact when they interrupted the Benoit vs Snitsky match. I liked that even though Paul Heyman is a face in this storyline, he still comes across very smart and calculated with how he talks himself out of getting hancuffed and then turns the tables on Eric Bischoff when the ECW roster invades. It's a real shame RVD was injured as he would have made the segment more special, but it was still effective. This show is also memorable because John Cena is the first draft pick and the Highlight Reel segment with Christian is a great opening segment and it followed up all the trash talking Christian had been doing in the previous months. The Triple H/Batista contract signing segment was a good intense moment. It's a great show in terms of storytelling and character work, and admittedly just okay with the matches. Benoit vs Snitsky was a decent carry job and I didn't think I'd like the Masters vs Venis match as much as I did, but it was surprisingly hard hitting with Masters bleeding from the mouth and Venis sold well for him to put his finisher over."

[7.0] "This was a really good storyline and go home show, as it did a really good job of promoting One Night Stand and the first and last matches were good, with the latter because of weapons and the Benoit carryjob."
