Shane McMahon vs. The Rock

[7.0] "TNA is still doing their lame pay per view offering where they have every match in a cage in 2026, yet none of them were as good as this match. It is a non-wrestler vs the world champion, even. Crowd is chanting for Austin late because he is literally the only guy that stands up to this hoard of McMahon on TV. They don't believe The Rock can do it by himself, even though he craps on Shane."

[7.0] "This was a very entertaining match with a lot of drama and storyline progression, as the odds were stacked once against The Rock once again. While there was absolutely no chance of Shane winning, they actually did a good job to make the match compelling with a lot of interferences. Shane took a bump off the top of the cage, and we also saw Earl Hebner come out, which was satisfying to watch, helping The Rock retain the championship. [***1/2]"

[7.0] "As you would expect it's not the most technical match in the world, but it is a very entertaining storyline drama match where everything is once again loaded against The Rock because the Stooges are the referees and are heavily biased and get involved frequently. Earl Hebner ends up getting his big hero moment for the save which was really satisfying because of the storytelling going on for months with him standing up to the abuse hed been frequently taking from the McMahon-Helmsley regime. Shane takes a big bump on the top of the cage to effectively take him out of the match and I kinda liked the farcical tug of war right at the start of the match where Shane tried to crawl out the door and Vince and The Rock start pulling him about."

[6.0] "3.25/5. This was far more enjoyable than I expected. Hot crowd definitely helped it and Shane took a big bump."

[6.0] "It was an angle more than a match. Noone belived that Shane could win, Rock just overcame Corporation's cheats. Hebner coming in and rebelling to McMahon-Helmsley Regime was nice, but the non-appereance by Stone Cold was disappointing."

[8.0] "Totally overbooked and really not much of a match, but damn that was fun and executed to perfection. Rock has to fend off all of McMahon's henchman all the while Shane takes a hell of a bump from the top of the cage. Overbooked stuff from the attitude era tends to make me eye roll sometime, but this was very entertaining and exciting and told a great story."

[7.0] "This match was a total blast with all the overbooking and the cage added to it as well. Shane to a surprise really only took one huge bump all night long, but that didn't matter at all really. Ending with Hebner coming to help Rock was perfect.***1/2"

[6.0] "This was good fun and a nice example of the theatrically overbooked attitude era style done right ala the Dude Love/ Austin match at Over the Edge. There was only one really good bump with Shane dropping off the cage onto the mat but the match was really more about the story anyway."
