John Cena vs. The Undertaker

[6.0] "Couple things with this match.. its the only Cena/Taker match where they are faces besides the the short Mania squash.. However, Taker is being sort of controlled by Heyman with the urn, which means that he's the heel for the match. it doesn't really mean much til the finish but because of that, you don't get the best possible match these two can have.. in 2003, they have a great PPV match that is also 5 mins shorter than this match.. that's because partly length isn't everything and they had a clear story there. This story is Cena wanted revenge for a Taker attack but Taker just controls the match, hits him with his own chain and wins. So its pretty lacking in that regard. The work is enough to make it entertaining enough."

[9.0] "As Cena got more popular in late 2003 up until this point in his career seeing him slowly point things together as to why he can be a top guy for WWE was such a joy to watch as a younger fan. One of the most underrated Cena matches in his catalogue. Highly recommend. This match was perfect example of what made Cena the all timer he is today. 8.5/10"

[7.0] "Cena brought the fight to The Undertaker and it was something that elevated him a little considering he was a huge star in a making. A solid match"

[8.0] "Very rare match between these two after The Undertaker reverted back to his Deadman gimmick and it's interesting seeing the heel/face dynamic reversed from their 2003 feud. It's about as good and as physical a match as you would expect to see. Everything here looked like they was hitting really hard and the spot where Undertaker was thrown into the stairs looked particularly brutal because of that big gash on Undertaker's forearm. Unintentional, but it certainly added to the match. The ref bump took out Brian Hebner for a long period of time and Cena actually got the visual pin with an impressive looking 'FU' on the Undertaker. Taker using the chain to win was a surprising way to finish the match."

[8.0] "Cena isn't scared to brawl with Undertaker at the start and the two actually trade blows for a while. The story of John Cena being able to hang in the ring with The Undertaker was a good one, and even when Cena looks out of it he somehow fights back into it. Taker even has to hit Cena with a chain after hitting a chokeslam in order to ensure that Cena stays down. Good stuff.****"

[9.0] "The very only real match between Cena and the gimmick of the Deadman of The Undertaker. It was a good match but also an important one, because from this point, we saw the birth of Super Cena. This loss helped Cena to increase his status, because it was not clean"

"6. 5/10 It was just an average match with some pretty good moments and i kinda liked it but it washt that great . it could have been way better"

[8.0] "Excellent match, they structured it really well to help Cena look like he was now fighting up to Taker's level without hurting Taker at all. Very engaging watch."

[5.0] "It was ok for a TV match. A good brawl, but nothing special. Smart booking with Taker winning after getting desperate to beat Cena, and both menŽs leave the match over."

[8.0] "Pretty good match but nowhere near the level of the match they had at Vengeance 1 year prior. Taker was good in his role on top and Cena was great in his survival mode and having to work from underneath. I did like the story and the ref bump was fine here given the story told and Taker ending up getting desperate to beat Cena was a nice touch as well. (***1/2)"

[7.0] "A good match that shines even more in a show which lost his identity. Taker and Cena put a great fight, maybe a bit slow but solid and interesting. A 20+ minutes main event some days before the pay per view. ***1/2"

[8.0] "For Smackdown's dead period (2004-05), this was a pretty fucking good match. One of John Cena's best WWE matches to that point, he always seemed to have good matches against the Undertaker. ****"
