[5.0] "A very consistent show at the very least. Only the tag match was below average. On the flip side, the only match that truly shined and stood out was Angle/Benoit. The rest all sort of put in solid work but not too much above that. A solid event to throw on if you haven't seen it in a while, but far from an all time company great."

[7.0] "Great show, with Benoit and Angle having the best match on the card. The opener was fun with only the Billy & Chuck match not being any good."

[7.0] "a great match, a good match, a funny brawl in the main event to cover a series of mid matches (but the opener was a good way to start the show)"

[8.0] "There were pretty good matches and average matches on this good event. Benoit vs. Angle was the MOTN."

[3.0] "A 2-match show. The opener being decent and The Smackdown Six save this show from being an all-time stinker, putting up the only two worthwhile matches, the rest is either rushed and boring (Trish v Molly, Jericho v Flair), Overbooked and dull (HHH v RVD, Brock v Taker ), or outright awful (3MW v Billy & Chuck). Add in terrible segments, and this is one of the most forgettable PPVs of this era."

[6.0] "I don't understand the glazing of this show. The angle/benoit match was awesome but aside from that everything was mid or dull. The edge/eddie match is good but it isn't match of the year candidate or close to it. The main event ends in a no contest for some reason, and the other title match of the night just didn't hit for me..Trish won her title back and it may have been one of the worst matches between these two (they have done some good work before together). The HLA payoff ended up being pretty good as I had no clue what was going on, so that was exciting. Jericho/flair match was so fucking boring and the first 8 man tag match was ok. For the main event, I'd say this was probably Lesnar's best match so far. Both guys sold their asses off but the offense was boring overall. I still don't buy the undertaker being one of the greatest of all time. He just has such a limited move set and he's slow. Lesnar also is limited right now but he's getting better by the week and he is explosive with his moves. Both guys sold the fuck out of the other guy's offense though and they also made me believe in their feud, which was nice. Edge and Eddie's match definitely had highlights but it wasn't anything you need to go back and watch. IMO this entire PPV is skippable unless you absolutely love Angle or Benoit, or if you really need to see how they wrap up the HLA angle. (spoiler alert, you don't need to see it because they will show the most important parts on raw and smackdown next week)."

[6.0] "A very up and down show and outside of the HLA stuff, the lows weren't all that low. Devoting an extra segment to Bischoff/Steph was absurd though. But I thought both world title matches were good enough, Edge/Eddie was great and Angle/Benoit was damn good too. Also a very fun opener that felt modern in a lot of ways."

[4.0] "Fun opening tag match. An 8 man with the babyfaces winning. Y2J and Flair have an okay match for the IC title. Jericho makes Flair look like an idiot with a fake injury angle. Eddie and Edge have a very solid match. Very good ending with Edge hitting his head off the unexposed turnbuckle + a nasty looking powerbomb. 3MW vs Billy & Chuck has zero heat. Who are the crowd meant to cheer for here? They dont seem to care at all for this match anyway. 3MW win with the assisted Samoan drop. HHH vs RVD with a real sluggish and slow match. Any energy left in the building has been sucked out by now. The match nearly goes 20 minutes and not one person watching believes RVD is a genuine threat to the title, especially after he tapped out and lost his IC title on the previous RAW. Flair comes out and hits RVD with a sledgehammer, aligning with HHH. HHH has been calling Flair washed up for weeks and that he doesnt have the desire or fire anymore. So it will be interesting to see how they explain this. Trish v Molly Holly in a quick but decent match. These two have been feuding for months now but the last couple of weeks they havent been on tv as much so it was a surprise they were on the card. Benoit beats Angle in a great match. One of the main positives of the show. The reversals in this match are so good. Its followed by an embarrassing segment. One of them moments you hope no one walks in when your watching because it would be impossible to explain. Stephanie has to perform HLA and Bischoff brings out the ugliest Lesbian he can find. Its clearly Rikishi in a wig but we have to pretend we dont notice. He ends up super kicking Eric and stinkfacing him after revealing his true identity. I did get a chuckle over how fast Bischoffs face disappears in Rikishis ass. Lesnar vs Taker, good match with the ref getting knocked out about 3 times. The ref also gets knocked out in the HHH vs RVD match, so this is already overdone on this show. The ref ends up calling it a no contest after putting himself between the two men throwing punches in the corner just what the fuck is this. Taker throws Lesnar through the stage to finish the show. Overall a disappointing show except for the Edge/Eddie & Benoit/Angle matches that make the PPV watchable."

[6.0] "A pretty good show with some fantastic matches, some mid ones and a rotten angle, unfortunately. The opener was alright until they overdone it with a chaos near the end, Jericho vs Flair was underwhelming with how abrupt the ending was and Guerrero vs Edge wasn't anything new from these two, but it was still professional. Then the start of the HLA angle started which made my eyes roll, but at least the Tag Match itself wasn't as bad as the booking. Triple H vs RVD was the first big plus of the show with Van Dam showing the most personality yet in his WWE career and perfectly matching Triple H's over the top seriousness. Trish vs Molly was a piss break with the fans not really caring, but then Angle vs Benoit was easily their best bout yet with the crowd getting incredibly invested especially near the finish when they started trading submissions and the pops from the fans were flying left and right. Next HLA happened which was horrible to watch, but thankfully the main event was really good, as Lesnar made babyface biker Taker look interesting, but unfortunately the finish was rotten and it ruined the impression a little bit. At least the brawl after that was somewhat redeeming, so the show didn't end with a bullshit finish."

[5.0] "There's a couple of very good matches on this card, and a few decent ones, but the ongoing storyline with the "hot lesbian action" and the weak main event drag it down a point or so. The best matches are worth watching, but that's about it."

[7.0] "This is a bit of an overlooked PPV. While it is bogged down a bit by rubbish like the HLA segment and an extremely weak finish for the main event, this is a strong show overall with a lot of very enjoyable wrestling. Some of the matches are pretty mediocre, but those are all over with quickly enough, and all of the bigger matches are at least good, with Edge-Eddie, Benoit-Angle, and Taker-Lesnar (despite the ending) being highlights for me. A few little changes and this could have been a really great show, but even as it stands I still had a good time with this and think it's worth checking out for a few sleeper hit matches."

[8.0] "Much better PPV than expected, especially considering how consistently crap Raw was going into this show. It's one of those shows where the good stuff is really good with two tremendous matches in particular with Edge vs Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle both being match of the year candidates and are both matches that must be seen by any wrestling fan at least once. The Un-Americans against a face team in an 8-man tag was also a very fun and chaotic opener. Lesnar vs Undertaker was good, but had a disappointing finish and the story with Ric Flair losing his edge and then turning heel and siding with Triple H giving us the first steps towards the Evolution faction was also memorable and very well done. Trish Stratus also has a beautiful ernest moment in the post match interview after she shows real emotion at winning the Women's Championship. The biggest disappointment for me lies with the boring World Title match as well as some of the undercard matches feeling a bit too short. The HLA segment is just surreal car crash TV, but I did enjoy it in the 'so bad, it's good' kinda way with Stephanie getting her own back on Eric Bischoff. Overall a good show with a few weaknesses, but also two must see classics."

[7.0] "Nothing special but a good PPV that was really enjoyable to sit back and watch. Nothing here was bad, there was some TV quality matches on this show. The HLA angle actually played out pretty well here and got a big crowd reaction when RIkishi was revealed. Eddie was fantastic in his match vs Edge, Benoit/Angle was superb, and Lesnar/Taker was interesting in seeing someone finally being able to push Brock to the limit."

[8.0] "Really enjoyable show here. The World Title matches were both pretty good in my opinion, and there was practically no bad stuff in the undercard at all. Angle/Benoit is my favorite of the night. The whole Eric/Stephanie HLA deal was whatever, but the crowd actually popped for it, so touché."

[5.0] "Really dissapoting show in my opinion. Brock vs Taker was awesome but really should've been better and the rest just felt flat and uninspired. Best To Worst: Brock Lesnar vs The Undertaker - [***1/2]. Eight Man Tag - [***]. Ric Flair vs Chris Jericho - [***]. Eddie Guerrero vs Edge - [**3/4]. 3MW vs Billy & Chuck - [NR]. Molly Holly (c) vs. Trish Stratus - [NR]."
