[10.0] "I absolutely loved this match. Maybe it's not for everyone but it felt like a proper fight, both guys worked their nuts off to make a proper fight for the match and Undertaker sold his ass off for RVD which was something he had been criticised for not doing before. Loved it and did a great job in elevating RVD and establishing Undertaker as a bully heel."
[7.0] "Taker going back to being a heel was a good move, and while perhaps he should be a bit above the Hardcore title this was a pretty good match, with both men able to mix up wrestling and brawling."
[8.0] "Really entertaining match as well as a fresh change of character for The Undertaker. It was just a straight up brawl that literally went everywhere. So many awesome spots from both men and a destructive finish. Brought the crowd to life after a lacklustre start to the PPV."
[7.0] "Taker recently turned heel, shoving JR's face in McMahons ass. He looks like such a prick with short hair. Rob kicks. Taker charge hits elbow, senton gets 2. Spin kick gets 2. UT crotches him and they brawl outside. Taker hits the post, and they fight into the crowd. They fight towards the entrance way and Rob shoots him with a fire extinguisher. Trashcan to the head, and Rob dives off the balcony with a body press for 2. They head up to the entrance area, where Rob knocks him down for 2. Taker stomps him and ramrods him into the video wall, then tries the Last Ride onto the stage. Rob grabs onto the stage rafters to block. Taker finds a chair and Rob knocks it back in his face. Rolling thunder for 2. Van terminator on Taker as he sits against the titantron gets 2. Taker gets up and slaps RVD with the chair a couple of time. Rob tries a van daminator by the edge of the stage, but gets choke slammed off there through some tables and assorted junk, he's done. Taker climbs down and pins him. Easily the best thing on this show so far!"
[7.0] "2001 holte sich der Taker echt den Hardcore Titel und war einer der Wenigen der ihn echt einige Wochen hielt bis er ihn an Maven 2002 verlor. Das war unterhaltsam (***1/4)."
[6.0] "I'm far from being a fan of the WWF hardcore/no DQ match, the brawling in the crowd don't do much for me usually, but this two worked pretty well together and made it entertaining."
[6.0] "I thought this match was very entertaining. Hardcore matches are tough to rate, some people love them and some people hate them. This match was in the ring for about thirty seconds so much of the action was punches and kicks which was not bad. However, RVD was diving off things and the finish was cool too. Good ***."
