***1/4
Good little match. I loved when everyone was doing each other's finishers.

Shane McMahon defeated The Big Show in a Falls Count Anywhere match(7:12)
Shane pinned Big Show.
*1/2
Big Show's last PPV match until Royal Rumble 2001. Match was OK for what it was.

Chris Benoit defeated Chris Jericho in a Submission match to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship(13:27)
Benoit forced Jericho to submit with a Crippler Crossface.
****
Great match. Benoit almost killed Jericho with the Crossface (not the best choice of wods with what Benoit did to his family, but I'll leave it in) I mean he was literally choking Jericho enough for Jericho to look back at the refs and say get him off me.

D-Generation X (Road Dogg and X-Pac) defeated The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von) in a Double Tables match(10:55)
*3/4

****3/4
Wow. Just wow. If HHH vs. Cactus Jack never happened, this would be your MOTY. Just awesome stuff all around.

~ In my opinion, this show was even better than Backlash. Includes a MOTY contender and 2 other **** matches. The year 2000 started off red hot.
