Moments - Positives

A solid pay-per-view with the main highlight being Angle's first face victory to win the WWF World Heavyweight Title in front of his home crowd - it was a great moment. It was also great to see the debut of KroniK even though the match was poor and they were released shortly after. Van Dam vs Jericho was fantastic and worked very well and I also enjoyed the feud between Rock/Booker T as well as Christian and Edge.

Moments - Negatives

The opening match did not work very well and Saturn/Raven was pretty poor. It was also very random for the US title match and particularly Tajiri to be so high up the card.

Overall

I would probably have to say this was one of the worst events of 2001 however if you compare it to a lot of other PPV cards over the years, this was a very good show. The quality of 2001 was so high in PPV terms that this card was very solid with a couple of good matches but overall as a package it was not an amazing event. Still worth a good watch though!

SCORE = 7.5
