[1.0] "Could've gone better, Michael. This match exposed him for being a shallow in-ring worker, with an alright idea of Triple H selling his loss from Lesnar the previous night, but all it did was for him to go to the outside and take a count out loss as trainers checked on him. It made him look pathetic. I can't exactly say it made a star. 3/4*"
[2.0] "An absolutely pointless match that featured dull wrestling and a bad finish. It did nothing for Curtis Axel, and only served to pad time on RAW. It's not even close to an all-time bad match, but it is totally forgettable and only exposed how boring of a worker Axel is for the short-time he got to work over HHH. It's not at all surprising that his push as a Heyman guy fizzled out. *"
[2.0] "At the time it was cool seeing HHH back on Raw, but the match was forgettable and the finish has aged terribly plus Axel did nothing of note after this."
[1.0] "It was just a standard match from the weekly, but Triple H shouldn't have risked his health so much, because the years unfortunately take their toll, maybe it was fun, but it definitely made viewers around the world worry about "The Game" condition."
[0.0] "Awful match, awful segment, awful idea. This was Curtis Axel's first match in his failed push, and Triple H put him over strong by clutching at his own chest and electing to be counted out, and this was never mentioned ever again. It's not the absolute worst match of all time, but I'm giving this a 0/10 rating regardless, because this was complete nonsense, and basically killed Curtis Axel before he even had a chance."
