[7.0] "Decent show. Batista promo was a bit boring. First match was okay and a terrible segment in the middle marks this down. Battle royal was easily best part of the show. The ending between angle and henry is underrated"

[10.0] "This was a perfect match. Most of the time was allocated for the World Championship battle royal and Orton & Benoit had a fantastic match. Batista giving up the title had fans in tears to open the show. Piper's Pit wasn't great but it thankfully didn't eat too much time. Angle moving over to Smackdown to win the title and turn face was a fun surprise. It also led to several months of great action on Smackdown for him before he wrapped up this tenure on ECW"

[8.0] "Really enjoyed this episode. There are basically only four things on it, but they're all interesting and consequential. Batista surrenders the world title, Chris Benoit and Randy Orton have a pretty great match for the U.S. Championship, Piper's Pit with the Boogeyman and JBL (which is not objectively good admittedly), and then the World Title Battle Royal, with Mark Henry having some fun sequences as a lump of meat against Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio. An hour and a half breezes by."

[6.0] "This was an alright episode of Smackdown. The opener was incredibly boring, the Piper's Pit segment was stupidly funny even if JBL talked fuckin' forever, but Piper's prayer after Boogeyman ate the mole had me laughing. The main event was a pretty good battle royal, Mark Henry did a crazy powerbomb that I don't remember him doing regularly. This ain't an all timer show but it's enjoyable enough."

[9.0] "Episode was awesome. Two amazing title matches, no undercard matches which was probably for the best, and a segment of Boogeyman eating Jillian's mole which was........ yep. Kurt Angle's unexpected battle royal entry was great and the title celebration just added to the awesomeness. Overall shows why Smackdown was by far the better show during the Ruthless Aggression Era."
