1. The Hardyz defeated Lance Storm + Hurricane by pinfall
None of these guys could do no wrong at this point in time and it was the right match to open the show. Not every match needs to be an epic to be entertaining.
Rating: 3 (out of 5)
2. Test defeated Kane by pinfall
This was supposed to be viewed as a big upset victory for Test, but really Kane was already nothing but a jobber to the stars at this point. Not horrible, but not very good either.
Rating: .75
3. Torrie Wilson defeated Stacy Keibler by pinfall
For a Lingerie Match, it could have been worse. Stacy is the hottest diva ever, so that's where the .25 comes from.
Rating: .25
4. Edge defeated Christian in a Ladder Match to win the Intercontinental Championship
A lot of people are down on this match, and while I agree it has some slow moments, it's still a very good match. These two were never the insane ones from the legendary TLC matches, which is why I think some people are let down by the outcome of this one. This was very intense and very entertaining.
Rating: 3.75
5. The Dudley Boyz defeated Big Show + Tajiri by pinfall
I miss Tajiri. It's a shame he'll probably never be back. The Dudleyz were still on their game at this point and the outcome was a solid match.
Rating: 2.5
6. Undertaker defeated Booker T by pinfall
This was much better than I had remembered it. It's still a slow match and I still think Booker should have gone over, but what do I know?
Rating: 2
7. Chris Jericho defeated The Rock by pinfall to win the WCW Championship
***Match Of The Night***
This was just a flat out awesome match featuring two of the most charismatic stars of the era. The chemistry between these two was just off the charts and it's a shame they never got a chance to have a WrestleMania match.
Rating: 4.25
8. Steve Austin defeated Rob Van Dam and Kurt Angle by pinfall
This era was known for delivering in the main event and this show is no different. While this wasn't as good as it could have been, it is still a good way to end the show.
Rating: 3.5
This is a pretty awesome show. Three very good matches and a lot of good ones. I'd have to say this one is a little underappreciated, mostly because it's not one of the Big Four, but definitely that you should see if you liked this era.
