Tag Team Turmoil Match 2001

[7.0] "The beginning of the Jericho/Benoit push was done well here, with Benoit coming in as Jericho's mystery partner to get revenge on Edge and Christian for costing him his match earlier in the night. Had a good time, but it wasn't a super match.."

[7.0] "This was a fun and entertaining tag team turmoil match. There's a lot of good teams here in this match. Jericho and Benoit get the win over Edge and Christian. Edge and Christian costed Benoit his match with Angle earlier in the show so their part of the match was one of the best parts."

[6.0] "Tag Team Turmoil matches are usually filled with a lot of quick falls that devalue teams that are prey to them. In this bout, everyone besides Saturn and Malenco had a good amount of time in there, so it truly felt like a series of normal tag matches rather than mini fights. Pretty much all of the matches are fast paced and very well executed. No combination has a bad outing. For me, it's just a little too much tag work at one time. Even though everyone involved has a good showing, this is near a half hour of normal tag action, so it gets just a bit dull for that long. To me, it just feels like, once everyone has done their trademark moves, a lot blurs together. I feel like if they added a stipulation of some kind for each, this would have been incredible. Still an excellent match for sure, but too much for me."

[7.0] "This was one of the better Tag Team Turmoil matches in my opinion. I'm not usually a fan of them, but it did have all of the best tag teams that dominated the division throughout the year and most of the matches was actually of a decent length where there was a story going on with them.... well except for the nerfed Radicalz anyway. The APA get a good early start and X-Factor have a dominant run as well because of how effective Albert looked in their corner. You could definitely see potential in a singles run for him. The Dudleys and the Hardys surprisingly lose on their first match where there was a pretty sick spot where Hardcore Holly gives D-Von the Alabama Slam through a table. The big story was Benoit becoming Jericho's mystery partner where they had to go through X-Factor and then E&C in the final fall and there was a lot of drama here because Albert put them at a disadvantage in the first as he was getting lots of big moves on them and there was also a lot of drama with the final fall as well because of Jericho's priority of taking out E&C being more important than actually winning the match so they don't shy away from trying to use the chairs when E&C try to take a shortcut with them. They still ended up winning when Benoit gets a reversal into the crossface."

[7.0] "Showcased just how stacked the tag division was at the time and was pretty fun. I think with the talent involved, if this was booked like some of those 2018 Smackdown gauntlets, it could be an all-time classic. But I liked what we got here a lot too."

[7.0] "I got invested in this more than I thought I would. Mainly it's because of the fact that they actually got a lot of time and every match felt different. Every single team looked great here, maybe apart from The Radicalz who just got jobbed out. The Dudleys were over, The Hardys too, The APA had a very good dominant showing and I loved The X-Factor here, especially Albert who played the main role in the whole contest. The surprise partner of Jericho being Benoit was a great surprise and the final match between them and Edge & Christian also delivered."

[9.0] "Tag Team Turmoils can go either direction. Fortunately this time, the match went to the right one. Superb pace with on-point transitions, beautiful choreography and spectacular spots compose a brilliant mix of action, intensity and drama. Every match-up is exactly the right length and adds to the overall result."

[6.0] "This was fun, but due to the nature of a gauntlet match it was efectively a series of short matches and, especially with tag teams, that doesn't really allow most of the teams to show what they can do or have a coherent story through the whole thing. It was well done for the type of match, but would have worked better had some of the individual matches been slightly longer."

[7.0] "This was a good tag gauntlet with nothing overstaying its welcome. Everyone except the Radicalz gets a shot to shine here, each match gets better in quality with the best one being Jericho and Benoit vs Edge and Christian.***1/2"

[7.0] "A really good match that lasted for 25 minutes. I don't like the X-Factor and they dominated for most of the time. The final part is great, there were many great teams in 2001. ***1/2"

[6.0] "Just a selection of decent tag matches and one slightly above average one in Edge/Christian vs Jericho/Benoit. Fine but not amazing or anything ***1/4"
