Moments - Positives
Although the matches were pretty average this was a really enjoyable PPV. Firstly it featured Stone Cold's first match in nearly a year as he faced Rikishi, the man who ran him over in a brutal contest which ended with Austin trying to run Rikishi over and getting arrested - instant classic. It also featured Kurt Angle's first World Heavyweight title after only 11 months since debut with the WWF. An amazing fact. The match itself was also terrific. Also check out Edge/Christian pretending not to be Los Conquistadors - some classic skits backstage from those two.

Moments - Negatives
Naked Mideon - who ever thought of this gimmick should be shot. It was truly awful and I could not give the match anything higher than a 6. Although the match was ok, I was also really getting bored of the X-pac/Jericho feud. Thankfully this was the end of the feud so not such a negative!!!

Overall
This show was far more enjoyable than Unforgiven 2000 and although some of the matches were of the same quality, the feuds and the build up was better and I think it made the show something more enjoyable. Angle's victory is an important one in the history of the WWF so it is worth watching just to check it out.

SCORE = 8.0
