3. Fully Loaded
The Good: Fully Loaded was marketed as having three huge main events. Two of them delivered. Chris Jericho and Triple H's brutal Last Man Standing match was the highlight of the show. The Highlight of the Night proved he could hang in a main event setting here. Chris Benoit versus The Rock was also really, really good but maybe featured a bit too much interference from Shane McMahon. The Dusty finish was also unnecessary, but took nothing away from the sterling bell-to-bell action. The opening Team Extreme versus T&A and Trish Stratus was tonnes of fun. Trish and Lita really brought their working boots and stole the show from their male counterparts. Val Venis and Rikishi's IC Title cage match was surprisingly dramatic and gifted us the sight of the mammoth Rikishi performing a Jimmy Snuka-like splash from the top. Venis must have had a lot of faith in Rikishi's ability to lay there for that one. The Bad: Why did The Undertaker have to pound Kurt Angle like a jabroni, again? Theirs was a bad match which made Angle look like a fool. The Rest: There were some undercard matches that didn't exactly set the world on fire but served their purpose. Eddie Guerrero versus Perry Saturn, Tazz versus Al Snow and E&C versus the APA were all okay.
