Overall Thoughts:
The very definition of a one-match show. Austin/Bret was one of the finest matches of the decade, but there really is nothing else on the show worthy of your viewing time. If it wasn't for the submission match, it would probably be one of the worst WM's of all time, but because of it this gets bumped up to a thumbs in the middle kind of event.

5.5 / 10.0
