Match #1
John Cena vs. Big Show for the WWE U.S. Heavyweight Championship

Not really a great way to kick off the PPV in my opinion. The match wasn't really entertaining match and the FU to Show just felt like a medicore imititation of Hogan slamming Andre. I'm giving this a 6/10

Match #2
Fatal 4 Way for the WWE World Tag Team Championship
RVD/Booker T. vs. Le Resistance vs. Jindrak & Cade vs. The Dudleys

The better of the two tag matches. I enjoyed this match from begining to end. I'm giving this match a 8.4/10

Quote :

Match #3
Chris Jericho vs. Christian in a Grudge Match

Great match with two of my favorites. I liked Trish's role in this match. This match gets an 8.6/10

Quote :

Match #4
The Rock 'N' Sock Connection vs. Evolution in a 2 on 3 Handicap Match

I felt kind of disapointed during parts were the Rock wasn't in the ring honestly. I'm giving this match an 7.8/10

Quote :

Match #5
RAW vs. SD! Evening Gown Match
SD's Torrie Wilson & Sable vs. RAW's Jackie Gayda Haas & Stacy Keibler

The match itself was pretty bad, I'm not rating this one but, the match itself was pretty bad.

Quote :

Match #6
Cruiserweight Open for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Chavo Guerrero (C) w/Chavo Guerrero, Sr. vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri vs. Akio vs. Billy Kidman vs. Jamie Noble vs. Nunzio vs. Funaki vs. Ultimo Dragon vs. Shannon Moore

Very entertaining match with some good spots. It was also nice to see Chavo pick up the win. 8.5/10

Quote :

Match #7
SD!'s Brock Lesnar vs. RAW's Goldberg w/Stone Cold as the Guest Referee

This match sucked so damn bad. 2/10

Quote :

Match #8
Fatal 4 Way for the SD! WWE Tag Team Championship
Rikishi/Scotty 2 Hotti vs. The APA vs. The Bashams vs. Haas & Benjamin

The match was good but, felt like a letdown after the earlier Tag match. Thats my reason why I don't like repition of gimmick matches on PPVS. 7.9/10.

Quote :

Match #9
Victoria vs. Molly Holly for the WWE Women's Championship-Hair vs. Belt

The match was good from what I recall, I think it may have been alittle short of a match from what I expected. I'm giving this an 8/10.

Quote :

Match #10
The Late Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle for the WWE Heavyweight Championship

Probably the best match of the night. I won't rank it higher then the triple threat for the simple fact that Benoit just became World champion and Eddie went in as World Champion. I'm giving this an 9.7/10.

Quote :

Match #11
RAW's Kane vs. SD!'s Undertaker w/the return of Paul Bearer in a WM XIV Rematch

A dissapointment. The match to me felt like it was all build. The actually match felt like a squash match due to the lack of offense Kane got in on Taker. 7.5/10.

Quote :

Match #12
Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs. HBK vs. the late Chris Benoi

Read my thoughts on the Eddie match, this was second best. I'm giving this an 9.7/10 aswell.

Any Benoit bashing goes and I'll be going on the defense of Benoit. I doubt anyone will though...

I don't remember anything but the finish. It was a great way to cement Cena as a top guy without giving him a main event belt.

6.5/10

Match #2
Fatal 4 Way for the WWE World Tag Team Championship
RVD/Booker T. vs. Le Resistance vs. Jindrak & Cade vs. The Dudleys

Don't remember anything at all about this match.

Quote :

Match #3
Chris Jericho vs. Christian in a Grudge Match

Match was good. Finish was a nice little swerve.

8/10

Match #4
The Rock 'N' Sock Connection vs. Evolution in a 2 on 3 Handicap Match

Fun match. Nice to see The Rock and Foley back together, and a nice way of getting Orton over.

7/10

Match #5
RAW vs. SD! Evening Gown Match
SD's Torrie Wilson & Sable vs. RAW's Jackie Gayda Haas & Stacy Keibler

Don't remember it.

Match #6
Cruiserweight Open for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Chavo Guerrero (C) w/Chavo Guerrero, Sr. vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri vs. Akio vs. Billy Kidman vs. Jamie Noble vs. Nunzio vs. Funaki vs. Ultimo Dragon vs. Shannon Moore

Could have been awesome had they given them some time, but I remember it only going like five or six minutes. It's sad looking at how great the cruiserweight roster was at that time and thinking about how the belt never meant anything.

5/10

Match #7
SD!'s Brock Lesnar vs. RAW's Goldberg w/Stone Cold as the Guest Referee

Ugh. My two favorite powerhouses in wrestling and they put on such an awful match. I still don't know why it was so bad. I've heard that Vince scripted the match in order to make them look bad. I could believe that; but even so, I don't see why Brock and Goldberg didn't just say F-it, and put on a killer match anyways. Not like they had to worry about losing their spot. I would love to see a rematch someday, but I don't think this will ever happen.

2/10

Match #8
Fatal 4 Way for the SD! WWE Tag Team Championship

Don't remember it.

Match #9
Victoria vs. Molly Holly for the WWE Women's Championship-Hair vs. Belt

I remember this being okay.

5/10

Match #10

Good B+ match.

8.5/10

Quote :

Match #11
RAW's Kane vs. SD!'s Undertaker w/the return of Paul Bearer in a WM XIV Rematch

It was nice to see Taker back as the Deadman, but not much of a match. I remember being really angry at the fact that Kane's push as a monster ended this night. They had a great opportunity to do something with Kane after he buried his brother, and instead the whole thing just served as a platform for an Undertaker gimmick change.

6/10

Match #12
Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs. HBK vs. the late Chris Benoit

Match was good. Finish was super emotional. Not going to comment on Benoit as a person, but at the time he was one of the most respected men in the business. Watching him and Eddie finally sharing the spotlight together was amazing.

9/10

Match 1: Not a bad match for a beginner, I like thge comparison made to Hogan/Andre, I never thought of it like that before.

Match 2: ERm, don't remember too much, but it was a good match

Match 3: Went on a bit long, but very good match none the less.

Match 4: I remember all the comedy in the match, but except that, it wasn't too memorable

Match 5: Don't usually watch women's matches, not a big fan.

Match 6: Like posted earlier, it could have been given some time, but it was still a good match.

Match 7: VERY SLOW to actually begin, I remember Stone Cold showing the signal to start the match a few times, and it wasn't what I expected from what was a dream match of mine at the time.

Match 8: Wait, this match happened?? Don't remember it at all

Match 9: Again, don't watch women's matches if I can help it.

Match 10: Good match, remember it vaguely

Match 11: Purely there for the return of the Undertaker, I got goosebumps the first time I saw it, it was pretty much a squash match for Kane to put the Undertaker over.

Match 12: The match was good, I thought better of it than some others from what I've read. It was a good way to end WMXX. It was aso great when Eddie and Benoit were in the ring hugging with all the confetti and then when Benoit's family came out I had a tear in my eye.
