[7.0] "Good show overall. Austin and Rock are both firing on all cylinders. Rock vs. Angle was an excellent sub 10 minute TV match."

[8.0] "The main event on this show was kinda average, but I still thought this episode of SmackDown was really good. There was a massive fall out to Austin getting blatantly screwed over on Raw as he gives Regal a savage beating as he enters the arena and it's seriously over the top where Austin drives the limo with Regal still on top of it and sends him flying and then he hits him with a pipe complete with a glorious sound effect and his face looked like a hamburger! Then when Steph arrived it was like watching a horror movie where he's chasing her all over the arena and she trips over things trying to get away. Vince ends up defusing it by giving him a shot at the title, but he still gets a stunner. Two amazing segments there and Austin is just completely crazed here with Steph looking absolutely terrified of him! Then in the main event Austin wins with Vince surprisingly making a fair count for him as ref. Rock v Angle was great with Rock also completely losing his shit and not even caring about the DQ and just punished Angle in a non title match. The Royal Rumble build is tentatively starting with some big names announced for the match and also there was an affair storyline starting up with Vince and Trish with Steph beginning to feud with her. Some of the midcard feuds like Hardys/Lita vs Radicalz/Malenko and Billy Gunn vs RTC is starting to feel seriously played out at this point."

[5.0] "My rating for this show is a five, it suffers like most attitude era wwe shows due to short matches that end in DQ. Two matches end in a DQ that feels too much and just ruins the match for me a bit. The opening segment was amazing I loved it probably one of my favourite opening segments of a wwe show. William regal sold perfectly and looked like the smug heel he was, Stone cold looked like a beast to reckon with and looked amazing, Stephine was great as the damsel overall a 10 out of 10 segment. Test is a great wrestler i wish he was pushed more, he looks so cool and his big boot is great its my favourite big boot he had great chemistry with Albert its a shame they disbanded to push Trish. His match was nothing special but an okay watch. Im not an Undertaker fan but he was good in the main event but Kane shinned he just looked great hes a beast. I prefer him over Undertaker 5/10. The match of the night was The Rock vs Kurt Angle which shocker ended in DQ who would have thought it was a decent match with me giving it a 6/10 would have been higher but ended in DQ"

[7.0] "Alright show. Segment of the night is The Rock interview, very good and serious. Match of the night is Kurt Angle vs. The Rock. Austin was pretty funny on the show, the attempted vehicular homicide, calling Regal a stupid SOB for "getting in his way" of the WWF title, as well as the in ring confrontation between him and Vince who was trying to protect Stephanie. Vince asked if Austin's pursuits justified hurting Stephanie. Austin replied , with a murderous look in his eye and a mischievous smile on his face, by quickly nodding yes. Very funny camera cut and visual, especially juxtaposed to how traumatized and scared Stephanie looks and how much the crowd is cheering for Austin. Show Rating: 6.55/10"

[5.0] "What Austin did to Regal at the start of the show was hilarious and executed really well. Angle/Rock had a non finish but was a solid match that played into the story of Rock snapping. Main event was a fine match but needed more time to be something overall a fine show but nothing remarkable"

[6.0] "I liked main storylines but I needed some development for midcard. Decent main. I guess there is some intrigue between Austin and Vince."

[5.0] "I feel like 5 is an accurate rating for this show it just had a lot of convuluted finishes and just felt like all matches didn't have much meaning behind them when you know you are going to get something like a dq finish but the ending was nice in my opinion."
