1) Chris Benoit vs. Booker T. Not a very good choice for an opener. Too long and too standard. Benoit deserves better than US title feuds, and hopefully he'll get it again in the future. **
2) Trish vs. Melina (women's title). The execution (by both women) is sloppy in parts, but Melina definitely has potential, she is aggressive and at one point does a nice surfboard submission. **
3) HHH vs. Ric Flair. Last Man Standing Match. OK, I have a few complaints about this: it is the longest match on the card, even though no title is on the line; the pace is draggy and plodding; the blood looks fake; most of the "big spots" (back body drop on the Spanish announce table anyone?) are predictable; and why is Ric Flair still wrestling? Other than that, it's fine! **
4) John Cena vs. Kurt Angle (WWE title). Daivari is the special guest referee. Angle is excellent as usual and Cena is better than usual here, and the very enthusiastic 50-50 crowd helps the match even more, but the suggestion that Angle can't beat Cena even with cheating is kind of insulting. ***
5) Eric Bischoff vs. Theodore Long. Undeserving of further comments. Oh, maybe I should add that the Boogeyman makes a guest appearance. 0
6) Team Raw vs. Team Smackdown. This is the real reason to watch the PPV. Fast-paced and highly enjoyable. Everyone looks good here, but special kudos must go to Lashley and Rey Mysterio. ***
Overall, despite one complete dud of a match, the rest of the show is generally enjoyable.
