Steve Austin vs. William Regal

[9.0] "Exceptionally fun TV match. Austin is back in ass-kicker mode and Regal is a wonderful stooging heel. Violent, good fun stuff."

[6.0] "Regal's work has lost some of that insane intensity here. Comes from working in a video game environment like WWF in 2001."

[6.0] "The match between William Regal and Steve Austin is quite hot, I felt a surge of tension here, it was clearly felt in their conversation. They decided to slightly repeat the remake of the Ice Block duel with Savio Vega in 1996. Hard blows to the body with a belt, walking in the auditorium, fighting at the commentary table, and in a short time both managed to get the audience on their feet. Everything looked driving in action and led well to the upcoming PPV."

[7.0] "This was great for the time they were given. The majority of this match is Regal stooging for Austin as he gets his ass kicked around ringside and in the crowd. Regal brings some great selling and facial expressions here as Austin rams him into the ring post. Earl Hebner saves Austin from injury by removing a monitor within seconds before Austin would have come crashing down on it. This won't blow you mind or anything, but it's a breezy ten minutes partly due to how over Austin is with this crowd."

[6.0] "Not a great match but at least one of the best strap matches that I have seen, with some good moments ***1/4"

[8.0] "Not a fan of strap matches but thought this one was really well done. They worked really creative and logical and it had the brutality which you can expect from these two. All infront of a hot crowd and under 10 minutes. 7.50/10"
