Randy Orton vs. Val Venis

[7.0] "Match was fairly decent, Val Venis got just about zero offence in but Orton was good and got good heat from mocking foley"

[6.0] "In that period, Randy Orton has one of the greatest period of his career, and in fact this match against such a mediocre performer like Val Venis was sufficient. (6/10)"

[6.0] "It's a pretty random thrown together match, but the feud with Mick Foley is definitely helping Randy Orton look like a star in there. His heel work is excellent and he plays to the crowd reactions so well. The match itself is a fine way to put over Orton in a dominant fashion."

[6.0] "A solid enough TV match. Venis was pretty much cooked by this time in terms of getting any kind of push but he was a still a decent wrestler, and Orton was on the come up and getting very popular despite his heel status."
