This PPV was really about two matches: the Hardcore match between Randy Orton and Mick Foley, and the WrestleMania rematch between Chris Benoit, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels, billed as ‘the Final Encounter.’

The hardcore match was one of the most brutal and violent in recent memory, and the WrestleMania rematch was a technical masterpiece; in other words, a win-win for virtually everyone.

Key Matches: Cactus Jack vs Randy Orton (Hardcore Match IC Title), Triple H vs Shawn Michaels vs Chris Benoit (WWE Title), Chris Jericho vs Christian & Trish Stratus
