Moments - Positives
This was a very solid card with some terrific matches. Great spot by Shane McMahon as he dropped himself from the stage again, refreshing to see Christian and Matt Hardy get a singles competition chance, Benoit and Angle delivered a terrific match worthy of any main event and even the Duchess of Queensbury match was very entertaining.
Moments - Negatives
The two weakest matches in my opinion was actually the opener and the main event but I think that is a testament to how good the rest of the card actually was. I also felt that X-Factor were getting far too much television time at this stage - they were just awful.
Overall
An excellent show after a terrific Wrestlemania. 2001 was fast becoming one of the most consistent in terms of PPV quality and with the addition of WCW and ECW talent, the WWE truly had a lot of excellent talent from the starters to the main eventers!!
SCORE = 8.5
