Batista & Ric Flair vs. Booker T & Rob Van Dam

[4.0] "This was fine but was immensely forgettable with severely uninspired work, especially considering the crowd seemed like they were willing to participate, which was evident when Booker & Batista were simultaneously tagged; however, what we got leading to that double tag was minimal effort in creating heat; Rob and Ric just sort of lay there, and there was not much going on in the atmosphere, but they spontaneously popped when Booker got in, dished out some offense, and did his shtick. None of the work here created a feeling that they were dueling it out for championship gold. Ric and Rob's work was extremely dry, with Batista being decent, but the highlight was Booker, who was the most exciting, and he himself seemed motivated. At least Orton's intervening spot and Foley's run-in riled up the crowd for the closing stretch. **"

[7.0] "It's nothing special, but I apprechiate when Mick Foley costs the title to Ric Flair and Batista due to his rivalry against Randy Orton. (6.5/10)"

[5.0] "Peak of the match was the Foley-Orton stuff surrounding it, the match itself was okay, never really got into Batista & Flair as a team and Booker/RVD were just thrown together this week which shows you the state of the tag division at this point and the only notable moment was the finish, other than that this was just completely okay wrestling."

[6.0] "Pretty entertaining tag team title match with a very surprising change. I always liked seeing it where the babyfaces aren't above taking advantage of a situation against a strong heel faction like Evolution and Batista's distraction with Mick Foley attacking Randy Orton cost them big. It's more the storyline than anything that made this fun to watch, but this was building to Wrestlemania well."

[5.0] "Solid if forgettable tag match featuring two teams that didn't have fantastic chemistry with each other. You've got the still seasoning Batista and the Aging Ric Flair, a duo that really only won the tag titles to give Evolution complete domination of RAW, and Booker T & RVD, two great, dependable babyfaces who hadn't been a frequent tag team up to this point. It's not terrible by any means, just a bit sloppy and mostly used as a way to continue the Mick Vs Evolution storyline."

[8.0] "Pretty good tag title match, though they would have a rematch that I like more. RVD and Booker T showed some nice chemistry and the old/young dynamic of Flair and Batista works well for me, personally."
