Moments - Positives
This PPV event was focused on two things. One was the return of Stone Cold Steve Austin as he attempted to try and find who ran him over at Survivor Series 1999. This ended up in a double stunner on Steve Blackman and Shane McMahon in the ring to a huge ovation. A great moment. The other was the Angle/Triple H/Stephanie love triangle as it finally came to an end in a No DQ match - certainly the match of the PPV. The Cage match was also a classic for the WWF Tag Team Titles. Also a great moment is JR breaking a glass jar over Tazz's head.

Moments - Negatives
Whilst the rest of the matches are not exactly negatives they are very average, including the main event which felt like it was just thrown together and did not really get the build up it perhaps should have had. This was a shame as it was 4 main eventers in one match. Clearly the HHH/Angle feud took over too much as did the return of Stone Cold.

Overall
Compared to the last couple events this was certainly in the lower rating category. The main event did not get the build up it should have and was ultimately average. Yes the return of Stone Cold helped the whole show and made it a PPV not to be missed but if we look at the pure quality of the wrestling, HHH/Angle and Steel Cage tag match were the only two matches worth mentioning.

SCORE = 7.0
