The Verdict

-Too much hype not enough to back it up
-The opening match was not great but has plenty of entertainment value because of the Guerrero's heelish tactics.
-Rey Mysterio vs Big show is a recycled David vs Goliath story
-The World Tag Team match was excellent as all participants showed some wrestling ability.
-The Cena and Lesnar match showed some promise. Both combatants were too green however at this stage. Brock was the better skilled wrestler due to his amateur background.
-The Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, Booker T Vs Chris Jericho, Triple H, Ric Flair featured plenty of star power. all are former world champions as well. All except Shawn Michaels have been with WCW at one point. This was a pretty good match considering the caliber of talent involved.
-The main event featured two of wrestling biggest superstars in the Rock and Goldberg. I am a huge Goldberg fan because of his charisma, strength and dominance. The Rock in my opinion just lives of his mic skills. Goldberg looked good in his first PPV but not as dominant as he was in WCW. It was a good way to push Goldberg at this stage of his WWE career.
-Many of the matches were just filler matches good for Heat or Velocity.
