Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

a million times better then last years but still not great. may be in wrong order1. M'N'M(TAG CHAMPS) Vs L.O.D WWE TAG TITLE MATCH5.5/10 raw look on and be jealous ....proper tag teams.. surprisingly a short match which got it its 5 rating but it was still decent and these are two good tag teams.2. Booker T Vs Christian7.5/10 Good match ..christian surprisingly had all the crowd support booker was booed whenever he mounted offence...good match with a few minor false finishes.3. Melina Vs Torrie BRA AND PANTIES Candice referee10/10 looks hotness...4.5/10 match.. as usual a poor womens match but this gets a 4.5 because they stripped each other down... candice looked SMOKING HOT when she got her stuff out at the end ...4. Orlando Jordan (US CHAMP) Vs Chris Benoit US TITLE MATCH6.5/10 a bit boring at times but OJ was impressive he dominated benoit in an impressive way at times.. people say its a shame he won ..i thought he did well5. Undertaker Vs Muhammad Hassan,7/10 despite the result being confirmed after cry baby upn's complaints about hassan..the match was very good ...it made undertaker seem like the old undertaker we know as he fought not only hassan but daivari and all the hooded men which made him seem untouchable..made him seem like a real tough guy.6. Mexicools Vs BWO5/10 a few decent moves but nothing more ....blue meanie shouldn't be allowed to wear belly tops its revolting7. Rey Mysterio Vs Eddie Guerrero8/10 Excellent Match from these two again.. the dominic storyline although at times annoying went well with there matches especially this one ....dominic had front row and was treated to a classic8. JBL Vs Batista ( WORLD CHAMP) WORLD TITLE MATCH6/10 Not a great match by any stretch of the imagination ...very average.. these two although very impactful with there moves tend to go into dry patches...crowd were lost a bit of the way through but they got back on after oj's interference which actually made the match better. expected ending ..for me anyway ...i saw it coming a mile off

Just like last years GAB, this sucked. WWE's offer of three excellent PPV's in a row (Judgment Day, One Night Stand and Vengeance) made this writer wonder if they had been made to seen sense, but how wrong I was.Animal and Heidenreich (possible the worst team ever and an insult to Hawk) beat the best team in WWE right now, Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro to win the WWE tag team titles in a rubbish match.Booker T beat Christian in a fair contest, however there was no build up to the match and it seemed that the match was only booked to pad the PPV out.The Mexicools (Super Crazy, Psicosis and Juventud) won the BWO (Stevie Richards, Simon Dean and The Blue Meanie) in a worthless match.Orlando Jordan beat, yes BEAT Chris Benoit in a slump. Why Benoit was wrestling Jordan the worst US champ in history is beyond me.The Undertaker pinned Muhammad Hassan.Melina beat Torrie Wilson in a p*ss poor match, no one cared about the result and it was understandable.Rey Mysterio beat Eddie Guerrero in the match of the night.John 'Bradshaw' Layfield beat Batista via DQ after Big Dave hit JBL with a chair in a lame main event.Overall Grade - D

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP. MNM V.S. ANIMAL AND HEIDENREICH A highly entertaining match with a surprise ending. I never thought that Animal and Heidenreich would win. MNM do work well together as do Heidenreich and Animal. The right team won in my opinion. 7/10.SINGLE. Christian V.S. BOOKER T This was a great match with plenty of near falls and surprise kick outs. Surprisingly the crowd were all cheering for Christian, despite him being the bad guy. Bad ending though, if the WWE wants to get Christian over, they should've made him win this match. 8/10.US TITLE MATCH. ORLANDO JORDAN V.S. CHRIS BENOIT Why did Orlando Jordan retain? He has to be the worst US champion ever. Benoit kicked Orlando's ass all the way through but Orlando won by hitting Benoit into the turnbuckle. Good match, wrong person won. 6/10.NO. 1 CONTRENDER MATCH. MUHAMMED HASSAN V.S. THE UNDERTAKER The rumour at the time was that UPN had banned Hassan off Smackdown, so this was going to be his last appearance. And to show it, Hassan had to go out in style. Undertaker 'killed' Hassan. The match was pretty one sided, Taker got his revenge on Hassan and his henchmen though. 8/10.SIX MAN TAG MATCH. THE MEXICOOLS V.S. THE BWO This was a short match, the Blue Meanie wasn't even tagged in. This match was really just to put the Mexicools over. Still, the BWO's entrance was funny and the Mexicools were very impressive. 5/10.IF EDDIE WINS HE'LL REVEAL THE SECRET MATCH. EDDIE GUERRERO V.S. REY MYSTERIO A very good match, Eddie got some real heal heat. Plenty of near falls and good moves. Rey's son was at ring side, and every time Eddie walked towards him, the crowd wanted Rey to knock Eddie out. Eddie frogsplashes Rey, but Rey sneaky pins him. A very good match, but a lot of fans wanted Eddie to tell the secret. 8/10.BRA AND PANTIES MATCH. MELINA V.S. TORRIE Wilson Short, but it's only to show the diva's off. 2/10.WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. BATISTA V.S. JBL A tense match, seeing as Undertaker won the number 1 contendership, I wasn't sure whether Batista would retain. It was back and forth, JBL won by disqualification when Batista used a chair, Batista still retained, then kicked JBL's ass afterwards. 7/10.
