Booker T vs. Eddie Guerrero

[4.0] "By the numbers kind of match with a weak finish. Top rope dropkick is a weird way to end it. Booker T isn't a great worker, but it could've been much better."

[5.0] "Considering it had two of the best workers of there generation and we rarely got to see them work singles together. I definitely expected more from the match. Still good smart wrestling from both sides. But a little plain. (***)"

[5.0] "Given that this involved Booker T and Eddie Guerrero, I expected more from this. Hell, I was obsessed with WCW in this era and didn't even remember this match happening. Really kind of just there as an opener to the show."

[3.0] "A lor of nothing happens in the mere ring in this match. It is somehow bailed out by the inmense charisma both workers carry, but it's still a boring match. Also Booker should have sold the leg injury a lot more when landing on his feet from the third rope. Although the fans were invested in the match, I still find it worse than mediocre."

[6.0] "its starts slow, gets good, then gets a bit untidy and finishes well. Its a decent PPV opener but not what you might hope for from two future main event talents"

[6.0] "Two all time greats like Eddie/Booker were probably not going to have a bad match, but it is difficult to walk away from this and not expect a bit more, either. Booker T's opening face shine is spectacular and is pure electricity, but the leg-heat story that Eddie started never really quite amounted to much, Booker wins with a dropkick (? ) and the Chavo/Eddie feud seemed like it was supposed to factor in more given recent events + commentary, but it absolutely didn't. Just not quite up to standard for two men whose standards are very, very high. This did not feel like a PPV match, much less a PPV opener."

[7.0] "A simple, but a very well done bout. Booker had a great shine in the first few minutes, then Eddie took over and showed how you gather heat as a heel and then they did a little back and forth until the nicely looking Missile Dropkick. Good stuff - not overcomplicated, but very good all around."

[7.0] "Good opener here, as both wrestlers looked solid in the ring and they kept the crowd engaged without burning them out. Everything it needed to be with a little bit extra on top as a bonus for those who enjoy some work rate"

[6.0] "A solid opener to the show. Booker T was really coming into his own after going into singles competition and Guerrero is great as a heel as usual."

[6.0] "A decent opener, but nowhere near as good as these two were capable of, or for that matter as good as opening matches often were in WCW at this point. The biggest issue was the abrupt ending, which came out of nowhere."

[6.0] "Overall a good opener not a bad way to start the show at all what do ever I enjoyed this match as an opener and it was a good story told all in all."

[7.0] "Ahhh. Well, both wrestlers are great in the ring, and the show they put on is pretty good. Crowd is... sorta into it. Booker T always gets em going, and Eddie's well on his way to becoming a solid heel. I'm just a bit annoyed that Eddie spent pretty much the entire match working on Booker's knee, and then when Booker gets his second wind it almost seems like he completely forget that his knee is supposed to hurt. It's an all right match but never reaaally got me going."

[9.0] "You've got two great wrestlers picking up against each other at great points in their respective career, so obviously this is going to be pretty great, and it really does deliver. Love Eddie's heel character of this period as well as Booker just being on fire."
