Moments - Positives
This was a two match event in my opinion. Although the Jericho/Kane and Rikishi/Rock feuds were pretty good, the overall matches did not live up to expectations and were quite average however the main event and the World title match were terrific. The ending of Angle/Undertaker was a classic as Angle used a fake Angle to decoy the Undertaker and when the ref refused to count, Angle rolled up Taker and picked up the victory. The Austin/HHH match is a rematch of last year's No Mercy 1999 and it brings Triple H back to being a full throttle heel (After his tweening against Angle / Benoit). The ending of the match with Austin dropping Triple H in a car off a forklift is a true classic.

Moments - Negatives
The card was ok but a lot of the matches were quite dull. Even the Rock/Rikishi match which was actually a really entertaining feud gave me the yawns. The overall card did not keep my interest long enough and despite looking forward to Kane/Jericho I was ultimately disappointed.

Overall
This was a show made by two matches. They were in fact two very good matches and two very good feuds but I dont think they did enough for the show to make it an entertaining pay-per-view. Having said that, it was still better than a lot of other PPVs in the year so in the scheme of things I have given it quite a high score.

SCORE = 7.5
