Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy vs. Joey Mercury & Johnny Nitro

[7.0] "A solid opener with a good looking finish. These two teams worked well together and they could probably always have a good match. 3 stars."

[7.0] "This was nowhere near as good as DTD but still vastly good as these 4 work so well together. Matt sold well, and both Hardyz took a beating and did well being sympathetic."

[6.0] "was a pretty good tag team match from two of the best teams from this era. It was slow paced at times, but the finish was well done. They had multiple PPV matches around this time although I wouldn't say any of those matches really stood out as being a special match that we're going to remember forever. The main story of the match was Matt getting worked over for the first part of them, then Jeff was isolated, hot tag for Matt and then they went to the finish soon after that. They got a few good nearfalls in there at the end that the crowd was really into it and Jeff getting the win made sense to put an end to this rivalry."

[6.0] "This was an above average tag match, but nothing remotely special. Offense was crisp and the moves flowed really well. Both teams knew the other well, so there was very little wasted motion. The whole bout just had a great pace. However, there was almost nothing unique about it. It was a fine tag match, but that is ALL it was. A fine tag match. Nothing is particularly memorable about it, and the final package doesn't go above and beyond. Plenty of tag tropes to be had too. An enjoyable match, and better than the ECW one, but ultimately nothing special."

[9.0] "This is almost exactly what you should be looking for in an opener. Crowd was very into it. The action was fast and overall, it was just a fun match. There were storylines and everything playing into it with Mercury's mask that also added a nice touch. Interesting that they had all kinda split at this point."

[6.0] "A fine opener. MNM look really good here and if Nitro wasn't already doing well as a singles, MNM looked like they could do some good work in the tag ranks this upcoming year. A solid match that made both teams look good and got the fans in. ***"

[5.0] "Great story coming into it but i did not feel as though the action commencing in the squared circle really could catch my attention. Jeff was a highlight though, sad to see how he is nowadays because this match made it seem like he could never age ever."

[9.0] "A great tag match between both teams with really good in ring action and storytelling involved and the crowd was hot for it."

[7.0] "There was some story, the fans were red hot for The Hardys and the pace was great - just a really good Tag Team Match overall. It was much better than their December to Dismember match as they got less time and because of that the structure was much better and they didn't lose the crowd midway through. The action was getting faster with every minute and the reactions from the fans louder with the finish that got the biggest pop of the bout. Really good stuff."

[6.0] "Eh, not the greatest match I have seen from the Hardy's, not bad by any means, but I feel like with 15 minutes it should've been better. 6/10"

[5.0] "An ok match at best, just straight up nothing of interest really happening between the two teams. Expected more out of the two considering the build up."

[8.0] "I thought this was a very good match that had a really good story line going into it I think them using joey mercury injury as a story line work pretty good I thought both tag teams had great chemistry and wish both teams wrestled each other more often. ****"

[8.0] "For the record, here's the greatest question of all time: why were the Hardys and Nitro on the Rumble but not Mercury? I don't know, that always stuck with me"

[7.0] "Not quite as good as I remembered it being but still a lot of fun. I'm a big fan of MNM but they admittedly feel a little flat in their heat segment here. Matt has a fun hot tag and the final few minutes are very good. I liked the finish as well. A solid opener."

[7.0] "Good match, perhaps a bit underwhelming considering it was something of a dream match at the time. Felt like it was lacking another gear. Maybe a ladder would have helped? Still good, just felt like it could have been better under different circumstances."

[6.0] "Pretty good opener. The crowd were pretty hot for it and some of the work was very solid. The Hardys were over as always and they create some good tension for the hot tags in the match. MNM was a little lackluster, more so Nitro than Mercury. Most of his offence didn't look impactful enough for me, either failing to connect or just looking sloppy. Nevertheless, solid work overall. ***Œ"

[9.0] "We get a couple of really good FIP segments w/ both of the Hardys, both of those said segments were awesome, in particular I really loved the first one which had Matt Hardy selling his ass off for MNM - great stuff. MNM were really good as the heels constantly cutting off the babyface comebacks until the Hardys got to muster enough of their high energy offense in to defeat them. Truly an underrated tag match I feel. ****"

[8.0] "Tag Team action at its best, it's almost easy to overlook a good fight when it's the first one of a show. M&M were already an experienced team versus one of the teams with most experience. There isn't really anything new, it's still a fresh and enjoyable match. ***3/4"
