Ratings out of 10.* Rey Mysterio vs Matt Hardy (7) Fast paced and very exciting cruiserweight title match. Wish it could have lasted longer than 5 minutes but these 2 guys filled those 5 with plenty of good stuff.* Undertaker vs Big Show & A-Train (3) Not a terrible match but there's also not a lot that we haven't seen before. Nathan Jones was supposed to partner up with 'Taker in this one but doesn't appear until the finish.* Trish Stratus vs Victoria vs Jazz (6) Amazingly entertaining womens triple threat match. Probably the best womens match I have ever watched. All the moves are crisp and some look like they really hurt. Good job by all.* Benoit & Rhyno vs Team Angle vs Los Guerreros (6) Some great action in this one. Where the time shortage didn't hurt the Mysterio match, I feel that 8 minutes isn't enough for a triple threat tag match. Good match but could've been so much better.* Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho (8) Technically speaking, this was the match of the night. No titles on the line here, just a good old grudge match. HBK looks great here but Y2J seems a little out of shape at times, resorting to rest holds that really slowed the match down.* Triple H vs Booker T (7) Booker T's best WWE match (IMO). Super stiff brawl here with some nice interference by Flair on HHH's behalf. Liked seeing the Harlem Hangover crush HHH's head. Looked really painful. Good clean finish, I just thought Booker should have gone over.* Hulk Hogan vs Vince McMahon (8) Entertainment wise, this was the match of the night. Certainly not a Flair/Steamboat wrestling classic, but for what it was, it kicked ass. Lots of blood, vicious chair shots (on Mexican announcers even), and even a surprise appearance by Roddy Piper. McMahon coming off the ladder with a legdrop is classic.* The Rock vs Steve Austin (6) This one was actually pretty boring to me. Too much punching and kicking. The superstar-factor definitely makes this one watchable, but I felt like I was watching John Cena wrestle or something. Glad to see Rock go over Austin.* Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle (7) Good match but not the type of mat-classic these 2 would have down the line. Some of the submission holds really slowed the match to a crawl at points. Had the match finished as planned, would've definitely given this one an 8. Glad Brock didn't die.

Almost.The undercard was a blur; matches like the Cruiserweight Championship and the Smackdown Tag Triple Threat were such fast-paced spotfests that you didn't really realize how good they really were until they were finished. Even the so-called "plodding" big men worked out of their tights and kept the fans entertained.Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson are two of the most beautiful women on the planet, and on the other end of the scale, Trish Stratus- who could VERY easily get by on her looks alone, especially the way she looked tonight- worked her butt off in putting on a great match with Victoria and Jazz.The upper card had a distinctly longer and psychological feel about it, particularly the Chris Jericho -vs- Shawn Michaels match, which was probably the best match on the card and proved that as good as non-stop action is, wrestlers don't have to move at the speed of light to entertain the fans. This match was one of the more anticipated on the card, and both men delivered, not "having" but "building" a fantastic match that gripped the fans.Triple H & Booker T worked a simple but effective match, the age old technique of the heel exploiting a face's injury working well. Triple H even broke out an old school Indian Deathlock which is well worth seeing.Vince -vs- Hogan made you want to groan for the first few minutes, but when the action spilled outside of the ring the match was well-planned enough- from a huge high spot by Vince to some of the clever camera work employed to a familiar old face making a run-in- that the match turned out to be quite entertaining.Rock and Austin, whilst pretty much exactly the same as their last two Wrestlemania encounters, needs to be appreciated for what it was: probably the last time we'll see two of the greatest rivals in wrestling history go head to head. With Austin's injuries and Rock's flourishing Hollywood career, this may very well be the case.Finally, the main event of Brock Lesnar -vs- Kurt Angle. While this was a great match between probably the two best in the business at the moment, I don't think it quite lived up to it's expectations of a month ago. Considering Kurt Angle's neck injury and the more careful style of match that they had to employ as a result, the fans already knew this would be the case, so that isn't the reason the match fell short of the mark.
It was because _Brock_ fell short of the mark. And you'll know what I mean when you see it. It'll make you want to cry.

*SPOILERS!!!*
Not a bad show, not as good as No Way Out, waaay better than the Royal Rumble, though I expected more from the Superbowl of the WWE. the best match was by far Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho...BRILLIANT work by both men, nice job guys. the dissapointment of the night (in my opinion) was either Austin losing to Rock, and Baby Brock sucking on Vinces nipple some more to get back the World Title. Absolutly pathetic, but, nice show. Hogan and Vince dragged a bit, Booker T and Triple H was action packed, fairly good PPV.
