[6.0] "Not really a single bad match on this card. It was actually quite the slept on show in my opinion. As much as I loved this show The Boogyman segment was kinda ass but thats forgivable in my opinion but holy fuckin hell the Tim White segment debuts and its absolutely insane. As soon as Tim White said he suffered from IBS I could only imagine Vince thinking this is the funniest fuckin thing he's ever wrote/heard. I've seen clips of the Tim White segments from that one Top 50 WWE OMG Moments but this shit plays out so much worse when your watching the actual show. Anyways this almost got a 7 but yeah, I cannot in my right mind do that lmao"

[6.0] "6 sounds about right. Pretty much everything was in the 5-7 range, with nothing being outright bad but nothing being amazing either."

[6.0] "A surprisingly good PPV! This one is a lot better than it looks on paper. Not a single match is below average, and there aren't all that many cards where the 'worst' match on it is still quite good. The most surprising thing to me even still, though, is that the card was this good with only ONE title match. And it was only the Cruiserweight title. No World or Tag titles, and the U.S. title wouldn't be decided here. While I wouldn't quite say this is an 'elite' PPV, it's a quality event through and through that's worth a rewatch if you haven't visited it in a while."

[6.0] "The wrestling was very good for most of this show, and almost every match is either pretty good or great (I very much enjoyed the main event and Booker/Benoit). HOWEVER - the segments were utterly atrocious, especially that Tim White segment. Not only was that poor taste to treat it seriously so soon after Eddie's death, but it also made no sense from a kayfabe perspective that everyone would just casually move on. Skip the segments and this is a great show."

[6.0] "Another decent PPV to end the year 2005 with mostly good matches. The opener was weird as it felt more like a squash of Hardy, but the match itself was decent, first Tag Team Match had another fantastic heel performance from MNM, Benoit and Booker once again delivered a very enjoyable bout in their rivalry and Lashley vs Regal & Burchill was barely a thing. Then Kash vs Juventud was the worst match on the show as they absolutely ruined it in the psychology department, Kane & Show vs Batista & Mysterio had a great star power behind it and the main event was a very well done Hell in a Cell Match. Both Taker's and Orton's psychology, body language and character work were fantastic here and even though it lasted half an hour it didn't even feel like it. So overall nothing too bad here nor insulting, maybe apart from this tiresome segment with The Boogeyman."

[9.0] "Every match on this show is good and the main event is awesome so the overall score for the show seems very weird to me. Im not quite sure what else people wanted especially for a PPV that was sometimes considered filler before the royal rumble it flew by"

[8.0] "Strong PPV with a great main event, no real turkey matches on the card which could be a rarity for a Smackdown PPV."

[6.0] "Acceptable event, better than many Smackdown roster exclusives. JBL vs Hardy is fine, the tag team match not at the top of the two teams, Booker vs Benoit a technical match, the best of the night. The Cruiserweight match disappointed me because of a silent crowd. The interpromotional tag delivers nothing less than I expected. Undertaker vs Orton is not one of my favorite Hell in a Cell, but it's not bad at all. The skits this time are a bit stupid."
