The Big Show vs. The Rock vs. Triple H

[8.0] "I thought this was a really good outing from all three. Rocky was SUPER hot with the crowd if he had won they wouldve gone ballistic. And the brawling all over the arena was sick. loved the table spot when Trips basically jumped onto it afyter getting hit. And the Vince shenanigans were pretty fun i thought. The video I watched did the stupid WWE freeze thing whenever someone took a headshot even if ti was with like a title belt or the ring bell. That was kinda lame but overall I enjoyed myself watching this."

[3.0] "Main Event with low level, even though The Big Show became champion, the match felt like something of a weekly show, and was more hyped for the crowd noise, so in general a match that had a good result, but weak in execution. 3/10 [**1/2]"

[7.0] "This was fun but the audience didn't get behind The Big Show like they were supposed to. When he won it was just a smattering of yeahhh he's looked like an idiot for a month because of the Big Bossman but he's our champ now! But going from Stone Cold Steve Austin to The Big Show is enough for people to ask for a refund."

[9.0] "Got to vote with chest here, thought this was a pretty good match and moment. Big Show getting that pop too (and it's okay to like it for me, cause it's 1999! )"

[6.0] "Austin Vs. Rock Vs. Triple H would have been epic, but we get the Big Show instead of Austin, who was run over by Rikishi earlier in the night. A wet fart in the history of the WWF as Big Show takes the belt. The crowd goes mild."

[7.0] "Convoluted car crash booking at its finest. I'm not the biggest fan of the Attitude Era as far as match quality goes and this isn't exactly the much different but I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a blast to watch. It's very punch kicky and lots of walk and brawl but what made these types of matches at this time so effective was that they give you no time to breathe and thus no time to look away. One things that also very notable is that everyone seemed to want to make the other look good. Triple H took a gnarly drop onto a guardrail, The Rock threw himself into the steel steps at full speed and Big Show took a really cool looking suplex through the announce table. Even the over booked finish which would usually spoil the match was just more fun chaos to add to the blender. Big Show walking out of the match as champion is a weird choice in hindsight but he had good heat going in after running through Big Boss Man and his cronies and it makes for a pretty fun plot twist if you ask me. Fun watch"

[6.0] "Another contender for the best match of the night, which really isn't saying much at all. Credit to them, Big Show was actually quite over stepping in Austin's place in the main event, and they worked around him nicely, doing some fun "normal guy against monster" spots. The double suplex into the table was particularly slick. Of course, the best parts of the match were when Rock and Triple H were in there by themselves, duking it out, and there were enough of those moments to keep it hot, even if it never really went to the level of anything super special. Just a satisfactory main event in an era when in-ring work wasn't really the focal point at all."

[5.0] "Certainly a fine match, but it's not exactly main event worthy. A lot of basic brawling that doesn't amount to a whole lot. Very little in terms of story-telling, and the action is maybe slightly better than your average match. It has an alright amount of drama, but there's just really nothing here that is going to keep you coming back. Honestly, for me, the highlight is Howard Finkel calling Show's win. Finkel is always the GOAT, and all of his calls are amazing, but I found this one to be especially passionate. Other than that, a middling main event for a middling card."

[6.0] "A pretty average main event but I'm sure the in house crowd as well as the live audience had to be pretty frustrated that Austin was advertised and wasn't involved in the night outside of the angle backstage. A pretty cool feel good moment for Big Show and the double suplex he takes through the announce table was absolutely the spot of the night. 3 stars at best."

[6.0] "It's an okay match, but again it just fell flat because of the blatant bait and switch with the crowd not really caring. They do the best they can with it and there's some good moments where Rock and Triple H are forced to work together to take out the Big Show with a memorable spot where they suplex him through the announce table. The ref bump left for some typical Attitude Era shenanigans and Show wins the title because Vince screws Triple H out of the title."

[5.0] "The pace of the match was very slow even if show wasn't involve.Show got announced as replacement and dominated most of the match.In the end hhh hit the referee Shane and dx try to help their buddy but out come mr McMahon and cause triple h the title"

[6.0] "The match itself is fine, and Big Show winning is fun and all, but you can tell the crowd is deflated that they didn't get Austin, and it hurts the atmosphere in a big way."

[5.0] "Context of the false advertising aside, this was actually a decent triple threat. Rock and Triple H did most of the heavy lifting while Big Show came in time to time and won the title."

[3.0] "False advertising of Austin is one thing, the match itself is another. I actually don't think that it would be much different with Stone Cold involved, apart from the fact that the crowd would be hotter. It's another slug of a brawl with constant walking all around the arena and it being enjoyable only for the fans being there live. The drama is almost non existent, Vince's interference didn't get the reaction they wanted and Big Show winning the title didn't feel important at all, since there was no story told in the ring and nobody would get over in such a garbage match."

[6.0] "Not bad and nothing special. It's a fine match with good competitors. Triple threat matches aren't always easy to book, but the WWF did do it just fine. 6/10"

[5.0] "The frustrating, but ultimately understandable bait and switch of taking Austin out of the title match aside, this was a typical Attitude Era main event. Lots of brawling and interference, a ref bump and a table spot. It could have slid down the list, but the star power keeps it from being totally boring, with notably Triple H being a massively detested heel. Show did his job fine enough and never looked better in his WWE career. The Rock did Rock things."

[6.0] "So Austin is gone after being attacked earlier in the night, and Shane makes a substitute........The Big Show. Crowd likes it. Show beats both their asses until Rock hits a leg sweep, he goes for an early peoples elbow but HHH breaks it up. They brawl to the entrance, and HHH gets punched onto a monitor table and goes through it, cheap ikea crap. Rock conks Show with a fire extinguisher and he fights with HHH to ringside. Best spot of the match as HHH and Rock suplex Big Show through the Spanish table. They brawl into the stands. Back in the ring Rock runs over the ref. Rock Bottom, no ref. Shane slides in and counts two. Another Rock Bottom, but Show pulls Shane out at two. Show and Rock fight on the floor, as HHH grabs his belt. Shane takes it away and gets pedigreed for his effort. DX runs in, and Vince storms in after them. Vince takes a swing at HHH with the belt and misses, but HHH double takes when he turns into the Big Show, he turns around again and Vince pops him one with the belt. Choke slam gives Show the title. He does the boyhood dream come true bit and the fans like it alright I guess."

[4.0] "The expected overbooked brawl for a triple threat in this era, with the added issue of the bait-and-switch with Austin. Those who don't mind that sort of stuff will probably get more out of this than I did."

[6.0] "I liked what they went for here with Big Show being the unstoppable giant and everytime Rock or Triple H would think they brought him down so they could battle it out with each other, The Big Show to ruin things. Not even a double suplex through the table was enough to keep this man down long. There was obviously gonna be some overbooking but it's whatever. Big Show looked really strong in this, good match.***1/4"

[7.0] "Overbooked, but in a fun way. Triple H was a good heel to watch get a comeuppance. Shame they falsely advertised Austin."

[5.0] "Way too overbooked for my liking. The Triple H and Rock work is always consistently good, but I feel as if the addition of the Big Show really doesn't add much."

[5.0] "Austin's been taken out in a hit-and-run incident, so Big Show is drafted in to take his space. I used to think this match had a feel-good ending, but as an adult, I see how frustrating the bait and switch tactics of promising a Stone Cold match on a PPV and not delivering. The match itself is your standard Attitude Era stuff. This could have been a good Raw main event instead of an average Big Four main event. Rock and Triple H's star power keeps the crowd invested, and they spice up the action with some obligatory brawling around the place, run-ins, and ref bumps. The crowd are chanting for Austin when DX comes to spoil the party, but he obviously doesn't show up. This is probably the strongest the Big Show had ever looked during his WWF run."

[5.0] "Pretty typical WWF main event. It's just brawling around the ring, a table spot and a lot of interference to keep everyone strong. Nothing exciting expect from the star powers and pop each og them brings to the table."

[6.0] "This was solid Triple Threat match. They had a decent match with Show being booked strong as the unbeatable giant that just kept coming back no matter what the other two guys threw at him. The interference was too much by the end. I liked the double suplex through the table spot. It worked well in terms of turning the match up another level and making it more interesting. After Show got back into it, he was a major force. Solid match (***)"
