Chris Benoit vs. Matt Hardy Version 1.0

[8.0] "Fun opener part of the US Championship tournament with two talents at the time that were more than capable of winning the whole thing. Hardy was able to match Benoit's technical prowess and hard knock style, taking a busted nose for his efforts but creating a solid back and forth between the two"

[7.0] "This is a pretty good TV match to open up Smackdown. Highlighted by Matt Hardy's busted up nose from a stiff forearm, the guys work super physical and have a nice little bout. Very easy and fun watch, but doesn't quite reach the levels of greatness the score suggests."

[8.0] "This match is hard hitting and fun. You can feel the stakes in this semi final match. Good stuff. Highly recommend."

[8.0] "Great sprint where they both looked really sharp. Matt Hardy getting his nose busted up unexpectedly really added to the match as he really shows what he's actually capable of in a higher profile match. Really hard hitting, brutal technical match thats really fun to watch."

[9.0] "Benoit and Matt Hardy had an impressive and shockingly bloody match to start the show. Did not see that one coming."

[8.0] "A great match in the really strong US title tournament from 2003. Chris Benoit was on fire at the time, and Matt Hardy more than holds his own. A hard hitting, brutal match, as Matt Hardy's nose get broken in the process."
