The Good

Match of the night honours went to the Eddie Guerrero & Tajiri Vs. World's Greatest Tag Team ladder match. The Japanese Buzzsaw was an eleventh hour replacement for Eddie's nephew, Chavo, who tore his bicep days before the event. Tajiri slotted in fine and the bout was very good indeed.

That was about it, as far as good matches go. The Big Show versus Brock Lesnar Stretcher Match was fun in a goofy way, but it wasn't anything you need to watch twice. Brock looked really good and was very over as a babyface champ here, which was encouraging at the time.

The Bad

Scott Steiner & Test's clash with La Resistance was good, old-fashioned xenophobic wrestling fun. See, the Genetic Freak and his partner hated La Resistance because they were french and had to beat them up because AMERICAN GOD DAMMIT. It was not good. No, it was not.

Even worse was Mr. America versus Roddy Piper. Honestly, watching this in 2003 was just really, really sad. It lasted just shy of five minutes and featured run-ins from Sean O'Haire, Zach Gowen and Vince McMahon. 2003 was a really, really weird year for WWE, guys.

The Intercontinental Title was brought back after being shelved for seven months and was won by Christian in a completely unremarkable battle royal. Really, there should have been a major tournament over this, especially since there was no King of the Ring that year.

Triple H and Kevin Nash had a positively rotten World Heavyweight Title match, which lasted a paltry seven-and-a-half minutes and had a lame DQ finish.

The Rest

WWE put most of their efforts into promoting and presenting the bikini contest between Torrie Wilson and Sable. Priorities.
