[4.0] "I didn't enjoy this at all, which was disappointing considering that I enjoyed their prior PPV encounters at Wrestlemania 21 and Summerslam. I thought it was simply too slow, particularly during the first half. And I don't mean slow in a way that is effective in building suspense and drama, but slow as in the match was filled mostly with dull brawling until the last few minutes when Bob Orton was put in the casket and Randy and Taker were able to wrestle a bit. Also, the stipulation's rules were confusing; at one point, Cole and Taz noted that Randy being put into the casket eliminated him from the match, but this seemed to go ignored by the wrestlers and referees. This was especially apparent when Bob Orton closed the casket lid on both Randy and Taker, which should have made the match a draw had the rules been adhered to. Oh well, onto their next match. **"
[5.0] "This was okay, although it was pretty dull in the first half until they started upping the pace in the second half. Everyone worked hard and it ended up being a watchable spectacle, if not an especially good wrestling match"
[0.0] "Genuinely. Gen-You-Wine-Lee. One of the worst PPV matches in WWE history. Overbearingly slow and almost antagonistically stupid in structure and pacing and psychology. Dead on arrival. Utter bloody dregs and i'm not even kidding when i say that Bob Orton was the best worker in this one. It's not fair, it's just not fair. [1.25]"
[7.0] "The match kept me on edge a couple of times. It was not one sided, even though there were two Ortons, hell Taker was even dominant. Bob Orton played a fine role in the match, you can see that he's there in the background just to bother Taker or blind him with a fire extinguisher (a cool use of it btw). As I was watching the match, with no storyline context I'm not sure who the heel or heels were in this match-up, becsuse both sides used low blows and weapons, but it's ok, I don't need a clear good guy-bad guy every single match. It's certainly better than any other hadicap match I've seen so far."
[6.0] "I'm even happy with this fight. It was a bit long and too slow at times, but pleasant. I was wondering what condition Bob Orton would be in, but he did a good job, he sold blows well and even had his moment of dominance. An interesting fight with an unusual situation, it is worth seeing if someone has 20 minutes to spare."
[6.0] "Definitely not as good as Randy Orton and Undertaker's WrestleMania match from earlier in the year, but this was still pretty fun. Cowboy Bob Orton didn't do too badly for his age. Also when they just let Orton and Taker go at it one-on-one, it was clear they still had some really good chemistry. The post-match moment with the casket being set on fire was a cool moment too. Overall, this was a silly but fun match and it's simple as that."
[6.0] "One of the best handicap matches I've seen. In a 20-minute choronometer, they managed not to relieve tension, which at any moment could become decisive for one of the warring parties. Bob Orton did not spoil the impression of the match, he appeared when it was necessary and during the absence of Randy and Taker they did not slow down. The post-match segment further solidified the experience of the match and promoted the legend killer as one of the most dangerous bastards in the industry."
[6.0] "This wasn? t half bad. It? s main crime was that it went far too long but I think they got Bob Orton Jr out of the match at the pivotal points to allow Undertaker and Randy have their important match building spots. In the end the Ortons have the cheat to win, protecting Taker and getting more heat on Randy. Job well done. ***"
[5.0] "They tried hard and it ended up being an average match. This match was an an example of why going long isn't necessarily a good thing because sometimes it can get boring. I liked the psychology of the match with Undertaker taking out Bob early on and isolating on Randy, but it didn't end up helping Undertaker win the match. The ending was a cheap win for the heels thanks to the use of the fire extinguisher and steel chair. Solid **1/2"
