Jazz vs. Trish Stratus

[1.0] "This was incredibly boring from start to finish. Not one interesting spot in this match apart from the screwjob ending from Teddy Long. Jazz had less charisma than the fleas stuck in my socks when jogging outside. The writing was on the wall from this and Jazz never recovered after this flop title reign. They should have kept her as a babyface when she returned on Raw in January 2003 and they did nothing with her breaking up her and Teddy by the time she got injured again in the Summer of 2003. The Raw match these two had in April 2003 was so much better and constructed than this. Horrible, horrible match."

[6.0] "For a 5-minute minute match, I enjoyed this way more than I anticipated. I always thought Jazz was terribly overrated for offering so little to the business Fun little spring."

[6.0] "I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. Jazz is sneaky crazy athletic and that top rope flip into a Boston crab was nuts. An interference by shoe throw was a new thing, and the finish was well executed. Overall, just a really fun match."

[7.0] "Trish continues to go from strength to strength, selling her injured ribs and adding a couple of interesting new moves to her set with every PPV appearance. The addition of Long in Jazz's corner is a smart move, because aside from her strength in the ring, her personality up to now has been lacking. Long breaking up the pin by throwing his shoe and then blaming a fan is a fun bit. Like all the women's matches from this time period, this suffers from its short length, but the crowd which seemed indifferent at best at the start of the match, were clearly getting more invested by the end based on the strong performances from both women."

[7.0] "This match was quite surprisingly sounds with some cool moments, Trish sold her ribs well throughout which I always love to see. There was an awesome moment as Trish went for her top rope headscissors but Jazz caught her into a one-legged boston crab and jumped down from the ropes and it's a helluva bump. Trish really was impressive in this match, she hit a nice tilt-a-whirl slam and also did a cool STF, which looked awesome."

[5.0] "I feel like a lot of Trish's 2002-2003 matches are just here being ragdolled, beaten up and humiliated but she's very good at selling so it all works out. The problem is that they don't get much time or any kind of build and the division is small so it gets repetive. But still a decent match."

[5.0] "A few more minutes, and I think this could've been a lot of fun. They really pick it up near the end, Jazz looks good as always, Babyface Trish is a lot of fun, though she's more sloppy here then in some of her best matches. It ends a bit too soon, and feels more like a TV finish, but, that's how it goes around this time for the most part."

[4.0] "I mean what can you see at this point about these women's matches? The builds don't get much thought put into, Trish is being treated especially by Lawler as an eye candy and the work is often rushed, with none of the wrestlers letting things breathe. It wasn't much different here, but it wasn't awful, plus I got a kick out of Long telling the referee that it was a fan that threw the shoe."

[5.0] "I thought this was quite a good match for the time they were given. It starts out as pretty standard stuff, but it gets a LOT better as it goes along. There's one spot where Jazz hits almost a Styles Clash from the top rope that could have gone very badly. These two are phenomenal performers in a real down time for women's wrestling, and I don't think Jazz especially gets enough credit. They build to a very quick pace at the end and have some extremely close near falls that make you believe are going to be the finish, but aren't. Teddie long throwing his shoe is a bit dumb, but it was different way to get the point across, so I'll let it pass. In a time with some pretty bad women's wrestling with only a handful of exceptions, I wouldn't have minded if this match got another few minutes. This match isn't good enough to rival what women are doing today, but that doesn't mean this wasn't a fine match. Both for the time and given the time they had, they did great with what they performed."

[5.0] "It's pretty much a standard women's match that was watchable because they're both great workers. The whole Theodore Long being a racist manager gimmick is just awful though. There's one spot where he breaks a pinfall by throwing a shoe at Trish, which is pretty unique but wasn't that technically a disqualification? It was funny to be fair though."

[6.0] "These 2 always had good matches and this was the same, was a little bit short as Trish was selling injuries."

[5.0] "A bit better than their match at last year's Backlash, two of the better in ring workers from this generation"

[4.0] "A quick but effective match. Trish was violently attacked days prior this match and of course, she was not 100% for this title match. Jazz entered confident and Trish damaged, so it was about selling, vicious attacks on the mid section and endurance to overcome the challenge. I liked how even if Jazz has to cheat in every way, was strong enough to fight Trish and take the upper hand multiple times, she clearly wasn't a weak oponent"

[4.0] "The best part about this match was Teddy Long at ringside with his antics. The work here was sloppy, but at least they worked it a decent pace, and Teddy Long throwing his shoe to breakup a pinfall killed me.**"

[4.0] "They just about scraped an acceptable match here. There was nothing that looked particularly good but at the same time there weren't any hideous botches. Teddy was good with with his ringside antics and him throwing in his show to break up the cover was a good laugh."
