½*
Bland.

Steve Blackman defeated Shane McMahon to win the WWF Hardcore Championship (10:08)
Blackman pinned Shane McMahon.
Blackman chased McMahon to the top of the TitanTron and knocked Shane off. Blackman also had a high fall when he gave him an elbow drop off the structure.
During the match Test and Albert interfered on Shane's behalf.
**1/4
This was average I guess. Shane's fall is noteworthy here.

Benoit won the first fall by submission (3:15)
Jericho won the second fall by submission (8:25)

Finally we get something good. I wish it could have gone longer.

Edge and Christian won by grabbing the belts after knocking down Jeff Hardy.
****
More good stuff. I find this match to be a tad overated though. It won MOTY in the WWF. Watch the wrestlemania matches between these 3 teams and tell me this isn't the weakest.

The Kat (w/Al Snow) defeated Terri (w/Perry Saturn) in a "Stinkface match" (3:06)
Kat won by giving Terri a stinkface.
No Rating
Why is this on here? Those 3 minutes plus entrances could have gone to Benoit-Jericho.

The Undertaker fought Kane to no contest (6:28)
The match ended when Undertaker ripped off Kane's mask and Kane ran away.
½*
A no contest? This show is upseting me.

The Rock defeated Kurt Angle and Triple H in a Triple Threat match to retain the WWF Championship (20:09)
Rock pinned Triple H after Angle hit him with a sledgehammer.
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley came out to help Triple H, but Triple H made her go back to the locker room.
***
Good little match. Kurt suffered a real concussion when HHH pedigreeed him through a table and the table gave way. Kurt slammed his head on the concrete.

~ Pretty good show but beware, there is some shit on it.
