This show, in my opinion, is an improvement over WM 20. It had a more consistent card from top to bottom and a lot of great stuff, including one all-time classic match.
Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero - Though it can't touch their classic from Halloween Havoc 1997, this was a very good match and a great way to start the show with its fast action and high-flying maneuvers. Rey Mysterio wins with a Hurricanerana. RATING: ***1/2
Money In The Bank Ladder Match: Edge vs. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Kane vs. Christian - The first MITB match, and arguably the best. The spots are innovative and the top-notch storytelling makes this more than just a spot-fest. Edge wins the briefcase. RATING: ****1/4
Legend vs. Legend Killer: The Undertaker vs. Randy Orton - This is a very exciting match. Randy Orton was a worthy opponent to the Undertaker, and the Undertaker proved that he still had it. The Chokeslam countered into an RKO was memorable. The Undertaker wins with a Tombstone. RATING: ****
Interpromotional Match: Shawn Michaels (Raw) vs. Kurt Angle (Smackdown) - Words cannot describe the greatness of this match. Two of the greatest athletes of all time put on a clinic in every way. The wrestling was perfect from bell to bell and the false finishes are some of the most dramatic you will ever see. Simply flawless. Kurt Angle wins with the Ankle Lock. RATING: *****
WWE Championship Match: JBL (c) vs. John Cena - This match was decent for what it was. JBL had most of the offense in the match, but Cena held his own. John Cena's title win was what mattered. He wins it with an FU. RATING: **1/2
World Heavyweight Championship match: Triple H (c) vs. Batista - Nothing too special, but still a good brawl and a fine ending to the show. Batista hadn't hit his prime yet, but Triple H carried him pretty well. Batista wins the Championship with a Batista Bomb. RATING: ***1/2
A great show that all wrestling fans should check out. HBK/Angle must be seen.
