If you can get past Vince McMahon winning the ECW Championship while comically donning a doo-rag like he's George Bluth, Sr., then you're left with an excellent event otherwise. There were six matches, all for championships, and none were better than the two for World titles.

The Undertaker and Batista equaled the intensity and physicality of their WrestleMania 23 title bout, going to a double-knockout in a last man standing match for the World Heavyweight title. This was immediately followed by John Cena surviving a wild and exciting four-way match for the WWE Championship, outlasting Edge, Randy Orton, and WrestleMania opponent Shawn Michaels, with whom he had just worked an extremely long match with in London six nights prior. There's hardly any down moments on the entire show.
