Overall not a bad PPV , but didn't really build to any great heights but the overall standard was nice and even.
Edge and Storm was a good solid match. The WWF have been teasing us with an edge/christian breakup to the extent that it is now too obvious.
The Dudleys/test V APA/Spike match i thought delivered above expectations. Nice fast pace with a good bump by spike. I enjoyed this one
Taijiri V Xpac - about what was to be expected, good match with both guys putting in a good effort. Not over the moon about X pac winning but that's backstage politics for ya ! three matches and all with outside interference
Rhyno V Jericho was solid but didn't reach any great heights but i guess sets up down the line Jericho V HHH
RVD v Jeff Hardy delivered what was to be expected and that's a high standard match ! The opening technical tangle up was cool and the crowd appreciated it. Very even match in terms of offence and bumps, actually just about split down the line. In contrast with Invasion where RVD had more offence. I really thought RVD hurt his right leg early on but he kept executing the spots. I guess the only missed spot was when Jeff was dangling in the air and RVD tried a jumping spinning kick ! hard to execute. Also thought RVD's nod of respect to Jeff at the end was very cool. Both guys will remain very over with the fans as a result of this match.
Taker/Kane V DDP/Kanyon. DDP and Kanyon took the bumps well and deserve the credit. Pathetic ending made me wanna hurl at the bookers.
Austin V Angle - not bad but really not a real improvement over the rest of the card. Nothin unexpected, i wasn't exactly outta my seat for this one but it was solid nonetheless.
Rock V booker T - again like austin/angle nothing special, predictable and solid but not special
this PPV ran in at 2.45. they could have given 10 more minutes to RVD and Hardy and 5 more minutes to Xpac/Taijiri

Hey Des! Sorry for not contributing to this thread earlier. I was gonna watch SS here at home, but I had to go to my cousin's Bday party. She told me last week that I would be able to watch it at her house, but lo and behold, when I got there today, their cable went screwy and I missed it.
I guess I'll have to settle for the encore, which I hate watching because it feels like I'm watching it alone, as opposed to watching it with the live crowd and the millions of other people around the world. Yeah, I know that sounds dumb, but oh well. Looking forward to Raw, though. The Raws after PPVs are usually pretty good.

I hope this will be the end of the Booker T emulating the Rock angle and hopefully Booker will move on to something better for his future. He's much better as a face.

Am I the only one who thought that Booker missed kicking out at one point during the match (it was just after he was catapulted into the rigged turnbuckle). It looked to me like Charles Robinson had to forcibly hold his arm off the canvas for the 3-count, and the Rock actually threw himself off of Booker while Booker just lay there.
So anybody else see that???

Just watced another pointless Raw. The bit with Stephanie McMahon singing (yes, she did scream and squawk a Wind Beneath My Wings variation) was one of the most painful experiences in my life. Angle was a welcome sign of relief, even if his bit was somewhat corny.

BTW Page having to job for Sara is an alltime low. I guess Thursday on Smackdown he will have to job for the Taker's motorcycle too.

I liked the ending. I couldn't go for Austin as a heel for the longest time, but I like the angle with them completely kissing his ass and him trying to motivate them with crappy wisdom and then grinning at the camera like an idiot. It makes me laugh. Milkamania was fun too. That will be a fun angle to play out for a while. The look on Austin's face was priceless.
