Literally the only thing that came out of it was a passable Christian/Booker match and a disappointing (but still passable) Eddie vs Rey match. Cannot imagine the shame I'd have felt if I wasted my money on this in 2005. As a matter of fact, if this exact show ran as a free Smackdown on TV, I'd still feel ripped off."

[3.0] "Lets put into perspective how bad this show was. You have names like Undertaker, Benoit, Guerrero, Mysterio, Booker T, and Christian. All legends and hall of famers based on their in-ring work. And the BEST these amazing talents could do were pull off average matches at best. When some of the all time greats could ALL only put out average matches, it's bad. You also have a horrible main event, two unnecessary tag matches, and your standard Ruthless Aggression slop Bra and Panties match. This is not one worth your time. There really isn't even a single match on this card worth your time."

[2.0] "What a shitshow that was. Last year's awful American Bash at least had JBL vs Eddie, this one had nothing. The only matches that were somewhat digestible were the opener and Christian vs Booker, but even they weren't the most exciting wrestling exhibitions on the world. And then it just went downhill. Jordan was able to make Benoit have a bad match, Taker vs Hassan was a sad end to a promising career and the 6-Man Tag was a heatless bollocks with six nobodies. Then Mysterio vs Guerrero had a rotten angle that the whole match was based around and it made it barely watchable, Melina vs Torrie was another jerk off material that had nothing to do with wrestling and the main event sucked. JBL wasn't the guy to get a good match out of Batista and it didn't help that the finish was horrible. Awful PPV with not even one thing here saving it."

[3.0] "Very poor Smackdown PPV and honestly I thought it was almost as bad as last years show because there was so little of interest going on on the card! Despite it probably being the worst match of their series because of the wonky storyline, Eddie vs Rey is still worth a watch. Booker vs Christian is solid and Benoit's performance against the dull Orlando Jordan made that match watchable. For the most part though this show was full of weak matches that leave no real impression whatsoever and the JBL vs Batista match was a huge disappointment with a bad finish to promote a rematch. This also had the infamous Undertaker vs Hassan match where Hassan was made the scapegoat for WWE's bad writing staff."

Also features one of the most over-dramatic and stupid storylines ever with the whole 'Dominick' thing. On a positive note I got to see tons of awesome indie and Japanese stuff after quitting WWE so that's cool."

[2.0] "Another Smackdown roster bad pay per view, almost everything is wrong with the booking. Batista vs JBL is not that bad, but it has a really long Sleeper Hold and slow phases, with the worst ending it could get. Guerrero vs Mysterio is one of their less inspired matches. Hassan vs Undertaker is the terrible destruction of a heel character when a gimmick change could have saved him. Not even Benoit could do a good with versus Orlando Jordan. The opening match for the tag team championships has a nice moment in the end. Booker T vs Christian is acceptable. Terrible show."
