Why It Sucked This show perfectly illustrated just how thin the Smackdown roster was back in 2004. Guys who just a year or two ago wouldn't have been near a pay-per-view were now in prominent positions, challenging for titles. Case in point, the thrown-together veteran tag team of Hardcore Holly and Billy Gunn, who lost a WWE Tag Title match to the odd couple of Charlie Haas and Rico. It was a throwaway match, like a lot of the matches on this particular card. Holly and Gunn (and to a lesser extent Haas and Rico) were given ten minutes of PPV and didn't do a whole lot with it. Future WWE Hall of Famer Jacqueline, who had done pretty much nothing on WWE TV in the past couple of years, was thrown a bone by creative and given a shot at Chavo Guerrero's Cruiserweight Title. It was a token gesture (Jackie was released soon after) and the match, for which Chavo had one arm tied behind his back, was a waste of Eddie's nephew's time. Torrie Wilson versus Dawn Marie No.4,795 was rubbish. Dawn's pants fell down at the end, which was the undoubted high spot of the affair. And newcomer Mordecai squashed Scotty 2 Hotty because reasons. Big Mord would be shipped off back to developmental in a couple of months, too. Last but not least, how about that Booker T versus Undertaker match? Both great workers, both given terrible creative and putting on a slow and dull match. What a disappointment. Did Anything Redeem It? I personally rather enjoy the Eddie Guerrero versus JBL blood bath main event, although there are a lot of people who don't. And the opener between RVD & Rey Mysterio and The Dudley Boyz was fine. Not enough to stop this being one of the poorest supercards of the decade, mind.
