Moments - Positives

A cracking main event with an excellent build up. Essentially this carries on the Austin/Angle feud but adds RVD to the mix who was fast becoming the most popular member of the Alliance and this threatened Stone Cold. The match delivered too. The Jericho/Rock feud for the WCW title was brilliant and it was great to see Jericho pick up the pinfall and the victory. The other highlight for me was a cracking Edge vs Christian Ladder match!

Moments - Negatives

With all the talent the WWF had available as part of the merger, I just did not understand the reasons behind booking Tajiri and Big Show as a tag team or Lance Storm and The Hurricane. It just didnt make sense and it felt like the WWF just threw these tag matches together to fill up the card. It devalued the event in my opinion.

Overall

It was a solid PPV event, probably not as good as Unforgiven overall. It was a shame but this felt like a blip in the otherwise great track record that the WWF had during 2001. With the feud between WWF and the Alliance, it really felt like WWF could have done a better job building up some of these matches and their associated feuds.

SCORE = 7.0
