[10.0] "Not nearly as bad as people suggest. This match was an absolute train wreck and that is why it was fun to watch so I don't think it's one of the worst matches ever because at least it's memorable, eventful and not boring and I would rather watch this over a snooze fest any day."
[0.0] "This was a disgrace. Four legends who should've stayed legends, dragging themselves through 30 painful minutes of slow, awkward disaster. Shawn Michaels came out of retirement for this mess? Triple H tore his pec and still had to carry the match. Kane forgot his mask. Undertaker looked like he wanted to teleport back to 2009. No pacing, no structure, just a bloated, sad nostalgia trip that should've never left the fantasy booking forum. One of the worst main events in WWE history...and not in a fun way. Just miserable."
[4.0] "Honestly i didn't think id be saying this but this imo isn't as 'bad' as the rating suggests - i mean its not good by all means but its not horrendous i think its more due to the fact HBK had the perfect retirement then returned on a Saudi PPV- Despiye not wrestling for over 8 years - HBK looked the best in the match"
[7.0] "Satisfactory match Would have been better if Shawn had stayed retired instead of coming back for this. He carried it though with hhh injury and everything else that went wrong Hope they got a good payday! Kane and undertaker have had more than there fair share of poor tag team matches through the years There properly hasnt been many bangers in saudi. The weather and travel doesnt suit the performers However not nearly as bad as people suggest Nice moonsault from shawn and the right team got the win after undertaker getting to go over many many times in the big matches. All in all a 7 out of 10 match"
[3.0] "Honestly this match isn't the 0 star that people portray it has. It started off really decent for their age. The second half of the match absolutely lets things down but I was so surprised by how reasonably Shawn Michaels could move after all those years. By no means is this match even half as good as it would've been 10-15 years prior but if you appreciate it for the showcase match it is and don't take It too seriously, it's a somewhat fun watch. Triple H's injury made it a harder watch and was a little distracting at times as you could visibly see him wincing in pain (not that I blame him), and Kane losing his mask was hilariously bad of a botch. Overall I think it was a fun match, just a little sad that it was the final time we would see either of these teams in action and ruined the perfect retirement storyline given to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 26"
[0.0] "Well, this has several reasons for receiving a 0 as a rating, HBK killing his retirement in wm26, HHH trying to put a good match but injuring himself in the process, a very slow rythm, a Undertaker who had to retire years ago not being able to give a performance up to par, and there wasn't much Kane could do against all of this, this isn't a case where a match is so bad that it's good or a wholesome nostalgic attraction, this match is sad, sad sad sad."
[0.0] "The actual match isn't the worst I've ever seen. Yes, it is slow and boring, but that's to be expected. The youngest wrestler in this match was a 48 year old Triple H, who tore his pec about 10 minutes into this THIRTY MINUTE ABOMINATION. Still, I've seen worse. The real reason I'm giving this a zero is because of the way Shawn Michaels tarnished his legacy. I remember seeing Toy Story 3, crying at the ending, and just thinking "Wow, what a perfect way to end that story". I felt similarly about Shawn Michaels's Streak vs. Career match at WrestleMania 26. And for some reason (money), Shawn Michaels decides to drop his very own Toy Story 4 while the crowd chants "You still got it! ". If Anybody in this match still had anything left in the tank, they certainly didn't show it tonight. A lot of people try to make the case that Michaels was the best wrestler in this match. Maybe that's true, but it's a debate that accomplishes nothing because all four of them sucked so royally it's really not worth trying the say who was and was not washed in this match. I think the person who really got robbed from this whole ordeal was Kane. He's pushing 60 and probably never wrestling an actual match of this length ever again. What a disappointing way to finish off such a great career. But who am I kidding? All four guys got the payday of a lifetime from this, and I'm happy for them in that regard. Just wish that they could've had a better match if they were gonna undo such a perfect moment at WrestleMania 26. Undertaker's did his Hell's Gate submission at the end of the match at the same speed and intensity as a BJJ instructor showing a white belt how to do a gogoplata. He could not have done it slower."
[0.0] "This ruined all 4 men's legacies, this should've never happened. Well actually, maybe it should've, in either 1998 or even in the 2000's, but nope, they wanted till both were in their 50s. What a pile of garbage."

[3.0] "An infamous match, this is a fascinating failure. After all, it is clearly not mission impossible, navigating the first ten minutes or so without any great catastrophe. Granted, Triple H is injured almost immediately, but Michaels is good enough here to do the heavy lifting, even after years away. Unfortunately, they refuse to go home, even with the early injury. Instead, they ignore a natural conclusion for an entire Brothers of Destruction heat segment, taking a wrong turn that reveals the issues that'd ensure this misfire's place in history. That ranges from Kane's fight with his mask to Triple H's ungainly one arm comeback, eventually stumbling towards a merciful finish. This is a bad match that could've easily escaped with some dignity but instead, fell victim to its own arrogant ambition. *1/2"
[0.0] "Quite possibly one of the worst matches in WWE history. Which is absolutely crazy when you see who is involved, but taking into consideration their age, and the state of their bodies, it's no real surprise they were unable to put together a decent match at best. It just seemed like everything that could have went wrong, ended up going wrong in this match. From Kane's mask falling off, to HHH getting injured. These 4 should have never been anywhere near a wrestling ring. Easiest 0/10 I could give. I'd even give it minus given the fact this b(r)ought HBK out of retirement, literally and figuratively. It ruined the perfect send-off in professional wrestling history, and it's a damn shame money could buy out something so iconic like HBK losing at WM26 and retiring."
[0.0] "This was a total disaster. So many things went wrong in this match. I hate that Shawn's last match was a total DUD. Triple H's injury early on immediately put him in no shape of competing. Every move in this match looked completely awkward and Kane's mask falling off was honestly hilarious. Shawn's moonsault to the outside looked absolutely brutal, Undertaker and Kane were unable to give him a safe landing and you could see how much that hurt Shawn. This should've never happened. Was DX vs. Brothers of Destruction really that big of a dream match to begin with? I get that they're 4 legends, but no one was really clamoring for this. [DUD]"
[0.0] "An honest contender for the WORST MATCH of all time. Seriously, who thought this was a good idea! ? We've seen HORRENDOUS booking decisions from Vince McMahon over the years, yes, but this 1 match perfectly represents just how bad he got. First of all, you have Shawn, who weirdly declined a match against AJ Styles, because he wanted to keep his word in retirement... Only to come back for THIS dumpster fire! Then, you have The Undertaker, who failed to re-create the magic he caught with Shawn at 'Mania 25. Kane has never been good. And Triple H? Dude... Stephanie told you to stay away from the heavy drinks! Everything about this match SUCKED. But it's also beautiful in a way, because it perfectly represented everything wrong with Vince McMahon's booking over the years; in just one match."
[5.0] "I just watched this match for the first time and, having heard all the horrible things about it, was ready to give a really low score too. But this was nowhere near as bad as people say. Sure, It starts with some time wasting, Triple H gets injured, resulting in Shawn Michaels taking a prolonged picture-in-picture style beatdown during a PPV main event! Kane's mask falls off somehow? All Triple H's offence looks trash post-injury, all four guys are past their primes and Michaels comes out of retirement for massive Saudi money. But the first third of this match was good. Kane and Undertaker looked good. Shawn Michaels' performance was surprisingly great and the moonsault landing did not look his fault (his co-workers did not take the move properly). I don't know what the build was like, why Triple H needed the pinfall victory and I guess Shawn 'ruined' his retirement but I am rating what I saw and it was a good match up until the effects of the injury. What I disliked most was the distracting, disinterested crowd in the background constantly moving around, just sit down and watch the damn show!"
[0.0] "The most miserable wrestling match ever. Four old legendary wrestlers way long past their prime and bring Shawn Michaels outta retirement was just an absolute disgrace. This is one of the many reasons that most of the WWE Saudi Arabia matches and shows aren't considered canon or exist in a lot of wrestling fans worlds."
[0.0] "This was an abomination to all of wrestling. Shawn seemingly had the perfect retirement but had to ruin it here. Triple H tore his pec, Kanes mask fell off and all the men were well past their primes. This would be an amazing matxh if it had taken place a decade or two before."
[0.0] "HBK carried this match despite being away for so long at this point. But I did say carry - not save. This match still fucking sucks lmao and I prefer to forget it ever happened like most people do. (Side note: I don't think I can forgive HBK for turning down that match with AJ)"
[0.0] "Shawn Michaels infamously turned down a match with AJ Styles at the 2017 Royal Rumble. There's no doubt it would've been a classic especially based on Shawn's performance in this disaster. He was the only bright spot. Even without Triple H's injury, there was no chance this was going to be any good. 2018-early 2022 is one of the worst periods in WWE history."
[0.0] "DX gegen die Brothers of Destruction wäre ein richtig geiles Match gewesen ... 10 Jahre früher vielleicht. Vor allem für mich als großer Shawn Michaels hat das Match sehr weh getan. Kaum zu glauben, dass dieses Match mit vier alten Wrestling Rentnern fast eine halbe Stunde lang gegangen ist. Krönender Abschluss war dann noch die Verletzung von Triple H. Alles im Allem war dieses "Match" der Schlusspunkt eines unterdurchschnittlichen und im Vorhinein kontroversen PPV's. Mich wundert es persönlich nicht, wenn viele WWE Fans Shawns Match gegen den Taker bei Wrestlemania 26 immer noch als das letzte Match seiner Karriere sehen und nicht dieses 30 Minuten Rungetaumel durch den Ring."
[0.0] "To paraphrase Seth Rollins, I would have taken this match a lot more seriously if this was 2006. I'm sorry but while DX vs the Brothers of Destruction would have been a CLINIC in 2001, 2006 or even 2010, 2018 was WAY TOO LATE for it to happen. While yes, not all matches between the old guard is necesarily trash (see Edge/Christian at World's End), 95% of the time you end up with an embarassment for the ages and this was the epitome of that, Shawn looked alright but the others were just so out of it. Hunter's injury only worsened things as this shit just dragged on and on for damn near half an hour. Yeah, TWENTY EIGHT FRICKIN MINUTES for three guys who have clearly seen better days and another who hadn't been in a wrestling ring since Obama's first term. Truly abhorrent and more than deserving of the multiple Worst Match of the Year dishonors it has recieved in the years since."
[0.0] "A dream match that never happened in their prime of their careers, and definitely should not have happened in 2018. Shawn should've stayed retired and Kane should've been doing his day job as mayor of Knoxville. The Taker vs. Cena "dream match" at Mania seven months prior was a squash because Vince thought Taker couldn't go, and yet, the blood money convinced him otherwise. It killed the twilight of Triple H's career through the torn pec. It robbed us of a Taker match at Mania 35. And it ruined what was a perfect send-off for the Heart Break Kid. If I could give this match less than zero, I would."
[0.0] "*insert this shit stinks Kevin Durant meme here* Absolutely atrocious and legacy killing match from all four guys, especially HBK for obvious reasons."
[0.0] "What else needs to be said? An easy contender for the worst match in WWE history. As if it doesn't start out bad enough, Triple H tearing his pec drags this event down into the darkest depths of hell."
[1.0] "Michaels hasn't lost much of his wrestling in 8 years, that's the performance of the match. Unfortunately this is the only positive point of the match. The crowd doesn't help the match. Triple H is injured after 5 minutes. and the booking of the match has changed, we see him talking to Kane several times, notably to get him through the commentators' table to make him sell his absence during the rest of the match. Several botches like Undertaker who voluntarily rushes into the barricades when he throws Triple H, Kane who accidentally loses his mask... HBK and Kane practically made the match between them. I had seen the match live and I didn't I haven't seen him since. I had a good opinion about the match, nothing more, thanks in particular to Michaels. I've seen it since for the first time and I wonder how I could have liked this match... (0*1/2)"
[0.0] "Since it's the five-year anniversary of this, I'll give it a quick review. I'll start by saying the people defending this in any way are out of their minds. This match is 4 guys well past their primes putting each other in real physical danger for the longest, most painful 27 minutes of your life. Bald shawn looks hilariously bad, and despite not having wrestled in 8 years to this point is somehow the best performer in this match. It really goes to shit after HHH tears his pec, which probably messed up the whole, thing but this disaster gets no excuses. Everyone involved in this match (with maybe the exception of HBK) should be ashamed of this, and the company should especially be ashamed this was even booked. It's no wonder people pretend this didn't happen. Good riddance. 0 Stars."
[4.0] "Is it great? No. Is it good? Not really. Is it fine? Contrary to popular opinion, yes. All of these guys are known for being, at the very least, good professional wrestlers. If this was a match between four wrestlers that are knowingly bad, this match would be a different story altogether. Nonetheless, there are a lot of mistakes, it's extremely long, the offense is rather not good, but for 27 minutes, these four guys survived. It's sad to watch at times, but it's not that horrendous of a match. It's not a match with botches galore, but there are plenty spread out throughout the match. I just don't think this was a bad watch, but it's not a great one either."
"I'm blown away by the amount of people - here and elsewhere - who's prime complaint of this historically poorly worked + poorly assembled match is that they couldn't psychologically handle the idea of a bald Shawn Michaels. If you really cared about these performers you'd leave the score out of the equation and be happy that A) everybody got paid millions of dollars for this B) you were never gonna be there to see it happen. But it is amazing that these four wrestling minds came together and couldn't think of a proper way to smoke & mirrors the match."
[2.0] "Yep, this was rough, summed up by Taker and Trips whipping themselves into the barricade. Michaels coming out of retirement was a mistake sure but strangely enough he's the standout performer here and showed he still had some juice left after 8 years."
[0.0] "Just a sad show between 3 all time greats and kane. Watching this felt like watching someone going mad at the nursing home. The fact that this ruined one of the greatest wrestling retirements ever takes it over the edge from being sad and boring to infuriating. And yes, it's so boring and long. The definition of a delusional idea. Now you can't watch wrestlemania 26 without having this in the back of your head."
[6.0] "This match was an absolute train wreck and that is why it was fun to watch so I don't think it's one of the worst matches ever because at least it's memorable, eventful and not boring and I would rather watch this over a snooze fest any day. Obviously this match ruins the legacy of all men involved but it was so incredibly fun and terrible at the same time that I was so intrigued by everything happening. My favorite moments are when Kane's mask falls off and when HBKs hat falls off."
[0.0] "The single worst match WWE have ever produced. Bald ass Shawn Michaels came out of retirement so that he could wrestle in a 30 minute tag match with 3 other people who were years past their prime just so he could get that fat Saudi blood money paycheck. Nice one bro. Bald af."
[3.0] "This match was rough but Shawn Michaels did try hard in his return match but Undertaker was struggling at this point, Kane had issues with his mask and Triple H tore his pec so it was a bad combination for a good match."
[5.0] "LOL this match was a bit of a mess at times but had some good stuff and actually had a very impressive performance from Shawn Michaels on his 1st match back in 8 years. Was a good effort if a bit clunky"
[0.0] "Probably they tried to do somethink but... why this match? Because they couldn't put Yokozuna in the ring? There wasn't any other way to satisfy Saudi Arabia' s king? So WWE could do anythinik to earn some money? It was a little bit fun to see the double chockslam and an attempt of double tombstone pilerdriver but this match Is painful from start to finish. I'm going with 0, 25 cause I respect them, WWE was the problem. 1/4*"
[0.0] "Even ignoring the context of this match (One of the wrestlers in this match got retired by another one so it makes no sense in kayfabe, plus the Saudi Arabia stuff), this is still a horrible, terribly booked, botchfest between four men who all should have retired by this point. Not only one of my least-favorite matches in history, but this is also one of my least-favorite media pieces in general. Never should have happened"

[0.0] "This is a failure mainly because of what this match stood for. 4 guys that could've had this match anywhere and everywhere else, but they decided this show because of money. Especially for Shawn, who destroyed 8 years of retirement for this embarassement."
[0.0] "I mean, what can even be said anymore? Everything about this match was fundamentally wrong. The match itself was of course god awful, but the fact that it even happened in the first place was honeslty its biggest misstep.

[0.0] "Thank you so much Shawn for destroying the best match of my life and the most incredible goodbye to pro wrestling with this stupid comeback ($$$)"
[1.0] "One point is only for Hunter's gutsy performance, competing with a torn pectoral muscle. Nonetheless, this match was a complete disaster which should've never happened. I'm still getting sad about the fact that - instead of taking on AJ Styles or Daniel Bryan in a dream match - Shawn Michaels decided to come out of retirement for this trainwreck."
[0.0] "Shawn may have had the best end to his career in professional wrestling history. And he lost it himself. The idea for this fight was hopeless and the fight itself was also, despite the fact that it consisted of four talented, legendary stars. Everything went wrong there, the pace of the fight, the falling mask of Kane, it would be best if this fight never happened."
[3.0] "Die meisten Nullerwertungen sind hier wahrscheinlich dem Fakt geschuldet, dass dieses Match im tiefsten Schatten von dem steht, was es 20 Jahre vorher hätte sein können. Kane und Taker sind unfassbar außer Form, Trips verletzt sich früh, und Michaels - der objektiv gesehen hier am agilsten auftritt - schafft es alleine nicht, aus dem Ganzen noch etwas ansehnliches zu zaubern. Wie unglücklich das war, hatten doch alle beteiligten offenkundig gedacht, dass sie ihr Alter im Tag-Team überspielen könnten. Ich würde trotzdem nicht so weit gehen, dass wir hier einen Komplettausfall erlebt haben - das war kein Taker vs Goldberg oder Hogan vs Warrior II. Das heißt aber nicht, dass es in der Nähe von "gut" war."
[2.0] "I refuse to believe this match existed. Knowing that this is one of the most remembered matches of Taker's '10 run in WWE, and especially knowing that this tarnishes the closure of Shawn Michaels' career, really does suck. In spite of that, I feel that Michaels easily put on the best performance of this match, giving it his all even after stepping away from the ring for over 8 years, and seeing Taker and Shawn face-off was honestly neat throwback to see. But unless you're really open-minded about this match, you'll only find strong enjoyment in, maybe, the first five minutes of this match. Hunter tearing his pec early on killed much of the flow in the later parts of this match, and just by the ages of these competitors alone, the slowness became even more prominent and hard to watch as the match progressed. That irish whip from HHH to Taker into the barricade outside, and Michaels not being caught and slamming down onto the concrete floor after a moonsault, are just two of many sad examples of why this match should never have happened. Shawn's Sweet Chin Music onto Kane may've been cool, but the closing part of the match saw all four men too bloated to perform anywhere near at a high level, and HHH too injured to fully execute a Pedigree onto Kane, and instead go for arguably the worst Pedigree he's ever hit on someone after 30 goddamn minutes of this match. While I can appreciate the heart that all these men at least wanted to put into this match, if you happen to find a wrestling fan whose still under the belief that Taker at Mania '10 was Michael's last match, let them be. It's, unfortunately, best that this match is long forgotten. (*)"
[8.0] "1. The total age of the Legends at that time is 206 years 2. The duration of the "masterpiece" is 30 minutes 3. BALD Shawn Michael returned to the ring for this match 4. The game was injured at the beginning of the match 5. Mayor Kane was the slowest in the match + he had the mask came off 6. The Undertaker tried his best, but his body forbade him .... It's very sad that Shawn returned for this shame. I don't know I don't want to give them 0 points.. I'll give them 8 and pretend that this tag match never happened."

[3.0] "This is a really disappointing match given the circumstances but I think it is generally underrated because the match itself isn't as big of a disaster as the decision to have the match in the first place. With that said, it is very sad to watch so many things go wrong with 4 guys who are or have been capable of so much more."
[0.0] "This was an atrocious main event. Who in their right mind thought giving Kane, Undertaker, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels almost 30 minutes in the main event of a pay-per-view in 2018' The match was basically over before it ever started anyway, seeing as Hunter got injured almost immediately. Funnily enough, Shawn is the one person here who didn't look embarrassingly bad, but even he couldn't save this. Undertaker hobbled around like a grandpa, Kane's mask fell off, this was just really hard to watch. [DUD]"
[0.0] "This match never happened. Shawn Michaels never unretired. I have to keep telling myself this because if I don't, it'll remind me once again that this match existed. They trot out these nostalgia acts for Saudi Arabia, and then they piss all over that nostalgia. Four men with a combined age of 206 (TWO HUNDRED AND SIX) humiliate themselves all over the shop just to make a quick buck. Ironically, it's Shawn - who had been outside of the ring for eight whole years - who puts on the least embarrassing performance, and that is only by default. Triple H gets injured in the first few minutes. Taker continues to lose the aura of the Deadman and instead just look like a dying man. Kane's mask falls off. What else can be said'"
[5.0] "Ok ich wollte es zuerst nicht sehen ich fand es doch etwas zu lang aber man kann ja nur selbst was bewerten wenn man es gesehen hat. Es ist meiner Meinung eine Frechheit wie viele 0 Punkte dieses Tag Team Match bekam. Hallo, das sind vier Legenden die ein solides Tag Team Match zeigten, war es gut? Nicht wirklich aber das war überhaupt keine Vollkatastrophe und ich empfehle ich diese ganze 0 Punkte zu ignorieren. Darum von mir (**1/4)."

[2.0] "Never have a group of guys with such talent, manage to pull off such a bad match. For the most part, it wasn't even really the performer's fault. Shawn was fine, though he lost a few steps. Triple H was injured near instantly. Undertaker was on the steep decline and needed someone to pull a great match out of him. And Kane was....... obviously not Kane anymore. Nothing went right, from botches, to the injury, to the mask malfunction. I feel bad for all the guys, because this was a match doomed to fail."
[0.0] "This match was sad. Michaels vs Taker at WM 26 was one of the best matches ever and I can't believe that Shawn came back from retirement just for this."
[5.0] "Look, you really can't expect an instant classic anymore from these old legends, but everyone worked really hard to make this work and as a fan I really appreciate the effort. Overall, I agree - this was a bit of a train wreck and had some botches which ruined the match even more. I also agree that it shouldn't have gone on for so long, not only considering the wrestlers' age and in-ring ability, but also the Saudi-Arabian heat, which added to the age factor as the human body obviously reacts differently to high temperatures as it ages. It's also a big shame that this is what Shawn Michaels came out of retirement for. I am going to say though that it was pretty cool to see Undertaker doing moves that he doesn't use nowadays as often, like the two-handed chokeslam and the suplex."
[0.0] "This was the saddest match I ever saw, and for all the wrong reasons. What were they expecting, the youngest guy in the match was 50! They should have never bring Shawn Michaels out of retirement."
[0.0] "I will never forgive this match for happening. I firmly believe that, under the right circumstances, Shawn Michaels could have definitely returned for one last amazing match. He could have returned to face Daniel Bryan or AJ Styles at Mania. Instead he returned for this match, and it ended up being one of the most boring, dogshit matches I've ever had to watch in my life. -*"
[0.0] "This match beats Hollywood Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior in '98 for the worst match in history. The match has four great wrestlers that are way past their prime and have deteriorating skills. Watching Shawn Michaels trying to prove he still got it makes me cringe. When he does the moonsault he's grimacing in pain and I'm thinking "OH GOD WHEN WILL THIS END? " It felt like hours watching this match and it makes me sick to my stomach thinking about it. -*****"
[2.0] "Very depressing to see Michaels dragged back into the ring (through that paycheck might have something to do with it..... ) and as others have stated, this could have worked as a 5 to 10 minute match, have all of the men just clear through their finishers with a few spots here and there, done and done. This was way too long, which makes me think that they didn't have a choice in the matter, or Triple H wanted to extend this match, for some fucking reason I'll never understand. One point for them giving a good effort, and one for the unintentional humor that came out of it. It sucks seeing a bunch of old guys fumble around the ring like this, but then again, they did accept the paycheck, so I guess they made their bed in that sense. Considering this match has been effectively buried by even WWE themselves by this point, it's clear that no one involved actually cared about putting on a five star classic. Watch this match only if you wanna waste some time watching old guys fall around, otherwise stay far away."
[2.0] "Yeah this wasn? t good. It? s a shame that Michaels first match after a decade was a 30min bathroom break. Everyone did work hard and tried to deliver a serviceable match, but the execution was filled with botched and sloppy work. Much like the Taker/ Goldberg match or Taker/ Triple H, this would have been 10x better if 15-20 minutes was shaved off it and it was just a greatest hits match. Instead, it was long, grueling, and boring match that wasn? t necessary at all. . 25-. 5*"
[0.0] "This was more sad then anything else. 4 men way beyond their prime limping to try and put together a decent match at their age. It did not work and it was a damn shame to watch. This was an absolute nightmare with injuries and blown spots everywhere. Should not have happened to begin with. (-*)"
[0.0] "I can't comprehend why they did such a long match, rather than an abbreviated greatest hits where they could get there stuff in in 8-10 minutes without exposing themselves too badly. There was some good comedy stuff in there like the Triple H and Undertaker whip into the barrier spot, and the botched double suplex on Fat Kane etc. I did not enjoy seeing a bald and barely mobile Michaels in there as his retirement was perfect, and being involved in this fiasco seriously degrades his legacy. Hopefully he spent the money wisely. It's probably best just to pretend that this match never happened."
[0.0] "What a trainwreck of a match. Normally i wouldn't give an F about this match but the fact that Shawn Michaels, returned to the ring for bloody arab money is unacceptable. We always waited to see his return to the ring with amazing wrestlers but he always refused and this is the match he returned? Terrible match for the terrible show."
