Featured review
A very solid PPV
Edge v Christian (Cage Match):
It's strange how a tag team has zero chemistry when fighting each other. It's slow to the point Christian even goes for a headlock although the ending is fairly innovative.
Scotty 2 Hotty v Hurricane
This is a much better match and crowd were more in to it.
DDP v Big Show
Its a Big Show match so you know what to expect. There have been far worse though. DDP is very likable. Also is it me or is there a Greece flag at every PPV?
Dudleys v APA v Hardys (WCW tag titles)
There's not much to say about this. There's work rate its just not a memorable match.
Regal v Tajiri
Regal gives a LOL promo suggesting the crowd have spent their "dole money" for tickets. I thought this was a fine 6 minute match and Tajiri is so stiff with his kicks.
Jericho v Angle (WCW title)
This is a really good pure wrestling match
The Rock does a backstage promo and I ain't gonna lie. Its cringeworthy.
Lita and Torie v Stacy Kiebler and Mighty Molly (Trish special guest)
Passable
Austin v Rock
A surprisingly A level main event for a British PPV. This is one of those matches that I call "walkie" matches. By that I mean there is a lot of walking around with both guys on the outside of the ring with punches, kicks, table spots and the occasional suplex here and there but its largely filler. I'm not a fan of these matches but if you are an Austin or Rock fan you probably want to see this match but its nothing you haven't seen before.
Overall:
Watch Rock v Austin if you are a fan of either. Watch Angle v Jericho if you are a fan of either or good wrestling. Its quite unusual to have so many clean finishes at this time in WWE history so its a nice change of pace. The downside is nothing significant of consequence happens.
