The Holly Cousins defeated Rikishi and Viscera (5/10)

The Big Show defeated Big Bossman {WWF World Heavyweight Title} (7/10)
Triple H defeated Vince McMahon {No Holds Barred Match} (9/10)

Moments - Positives
The card was very solid really made by the last three matches. A classic bout with Rock'n'Sock v New Age Outlaws which really showed how over the Mankind/Rock team were. Even though I never agreed with Show/Bossman as a World title match, especially one to get Big Show over, the match was solid and short and the feud was excellent. Finally, the main event was an instant classic. Triple H was at a point where people adored to hate him and this showed. McMahon as a face was a strange sight but it worked and Stephanie's turn against her father was very well worked.

Moments - Negatives
A couple of poor matches such as Hollys v Viscera/Rikishi and I also thought that there was really no need for Miss Kitty to get her top off during the Women's title match. I'm the first to enjoy these types of things but it did truly feel that the WWF went one step too far. It overshadowed a solid match too.

Overall
The end of 1999 ended as well as 1999 began. Yes there was some poor PPVs in the year but there were also some truly great ones. This one is probably towards the latter category, I thought it was a very enjoyable show, some great matches fought and really good build up to the last few on the card.

SCORE = 8.0
