Shane McMahon & Vince McMahon vs. Shawn Michaels

"For those of you wondering, yes, this is the God match. God doesn't tag in at all, and they drop the act at the bell, so it is just a handicap match"

[2.0] "I think at the time I probably didn't think SO badly about this, even though the storyline was fairly dumb it at least seemed entertainingly dumb, and I liked the over the top evil antics of Vince. Time hasn't been kind to some of those storyline abuses though, and trying to watch this back just isn't very much fun, nothing against those who still enjoy it. The action is really very simple so it only really works on vibes, so if the vibes don't work anymore... yeah."

[8.0] "They kicked off like a house on fire with Shawn going to town and then a huge bump with Vince being crossbodied off the stage through tables. It was a fun, hot start then we got into the bulk of the match with Shawn being beaten and bloodied which Shawn does best. He is so good at playing the face-in-peril who you just want to win. McMahons were cartoonishly over-the-top evil which adds to the entertainment value. Vince cannot wrestle, but my goodness he can be the most entertaining performer. Built well to Shawn's big comeback sequence with Vince taking a helluva chair shot. Then the highlight was Shawn's HUGE Dive off a ladder to the outside to the interfering Spirit Squad. It made sense in the long-term story for Shawn to lose this, especially 7 on 1. Wacky, Fun, Sports Entertainment, no one does it better."

[2.0] "I find the match not just bad, but terrible. Honestly, there's nothing about it that I like; it's a pointless brawl where the only "interesting" thing is watching an old guy who barely knows the basics try to wrestle. I don't understand why people like this match so much, and I don't think I ever will. The only thing that truly redeems this match is Shawn Michaels' connection with the crowd and his ability to carry the fight, which, while it doesn't save it, he tries his best to do."

[7.0] "As fucked up and absurd as this is...it's actually really solid. Truly a testament to just how damn good Shawn Michaels was."

[7.0] "This is the match that I grew up watching finally realizing Vince was batshit insane. I'm not sure the in ring work here is a 7 but all the character work with Vince being absolutely off his rocker to Shawn selling his heart out the entire beating, to just all the wild hardcore shit n blood. This is just a fuckin fever dream I cannot believe I was allowed to watch at the age of 6. I feel like I'm over rating this match but apparently 28 other people agree with me on the 7 rating so maybe I'm not over rating"

[6.0] "I'm giving this 6 points because Vince's absolutely out of his mind character work at this point was incredible. The match itself only deserves 5 points. Maybe not even. It starts phenomenally. Shawn starts as a house of fire, and it surprising to see Vince in a role where he needed to be trusted to catch a diving Shawn. But he does this job excellent. Then, when they go to the stage, Vince takes a very commendable backwards bump off the stage after Shawn dives on him again. It has to be one of the more impressive bumps of a match he was in. After Shane's vicious chair shot shortly after, the match does drastically downhill fast. It slows to an absolute crawl. First with them beating Shawn up, and then Shawn takes an eternity to set both tables and the ladder up. Only for the same tired run in from the Spirit Squad, who finish Shawn off for Vince. Also, they use 'tags' once or twice in this match even though there is no point in tagging in any no DQ stipulation. Essentially, Vince's insanity and the first handful of minutes make this pretty alright. But after their work on the stage area is done, you might as well turn it off because it kind of sucks from there."

[2.0] "Horrible vanity moment from Mcmahon, the comedy act with god was not that much deep or interesting. The match started well but get dragged in those types of heat that make me skip until the end of the match. The choice of making HBK lost just make it even more annoying with that Spirit Squad intervention stopping a spot teased for 3 mins of tables and ladders set up. At least HBK tried."

[4.0] "Meh, we're back to that. Michaels vs Vince at WrestleMania worked because HBK just had fun embarassing McMahon and the crowd loved to see it, but here we're back to usual Vince stuff. Him and Shane get some offense and even get a juice on Shawn, then Spirit Squad interferes and it's over. Also I was irritated by Vince and Shane tagging each other like it wasn't a No Holds Barred and they abandoned that rule whenever they wanted to."

"Can't believe you guys forgot to add God. This was a tag match, you know...Michaels/God vs. The McMahons. lmao"

[8.0] "Probably doesn't deserve an 8 based solely on the match, but my god is the god stuff so funny. Not like funny like well-written joke funny, but like funny who came up with something so ridiculous and why do we all know this was 100% uninterrupted from the mind of Vincent Kennedy McMahon"

[7.0] "Pretty damn entertaining honestly. There were a lot of crazy spots that made this easily watchable. Shawn Michaels fighting to overcome insurmountable odds is always fun to watch and this was no exception. Definitely not a classic, but a good match that furthered the feud between Michaels and the McMahons. ***1/4"

[8.0] "Crazy match. I love the story they produced here. Shawn trying to overcome the odds and Shane doing his best to beat Michaels down."

[8.0] "I thought this was tremendously wacky and entertaining in the most fun way possible. This crazed maniac version of Vince was the freaking best. The hilariously demonic facials, the ridiculous stunts, making fun of God by playing funky music during his entrance? Just priceless. Shawn and Shane took some mad bumps in this one, and they definitely carried the workrate portion of the match. Shawn's initial shine and comeback were straight fire. The Spirit Squad made a late run-in, and they helped the McMahons outnumber HBK, launching him through a table and allowing Vince to get the pin. The screwjob finish isn't my cup of tea, but it worked well under the context they were telling here. [***3/4]"

[10.0] "Vince McMahon delivers one of the most unhinged performances I've ever seen. I miss psycho Vince screaming at God"

[8.0] "A match with the 'almighty' in tag team with a wrestler would be impossible by today's standards. This is great irony, I don't dislike the angle at all and it's the perfect masterplan for what is an handicap match where Shawn Michaels only has his faith. Both McMahons are great to see in action and the match scream 'D-X' from the beginning to the end. I'm not surprised by its quality. ***3/4"
