Result: Warrior defeated Goldust by count-out in 7:38. Highlight: If you ever wanted to see the Ultimate Warrior smoke a cigar while wearing a golden robe and sitting in a director's chair in the middle of the ring for five minutes, this is the match for you! Otherwise, know that wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer ranked this match Negative-Three-Stars. Lowlight: One move in 20 minutes. Review: The Santino/Honky match from #2 was only about a minute long, yet somehow still had five-times the amount of physical contact than this match. Goldust did have a legitimate knee injury, and this was during Warrior's last run with WWF when most of his matches lasted between one and three minutes. But this was a highly-promoted, heavily-pushed title match on pay-per-view, and the only physical contact- apart from Warrior extinguishing Marlena's cigar on Goldust's (gloved) hand- was a clothesline at the seven-minute mark. That was enough for Goldust, who left the arena and was counted out. Warrior did beat up the Bodyguard and wore his hat post-match, but this mysterious Bodyguard was never seen before or after, so no one cared. How it could have been better: WWF could have offered partial- to full-refunds to anyone who demanded one, and a disclaimer should be placed before this match on WWE Network. Am I wrong? Do you secretly love one of these matches? Is there a worse one I missed?
