Result: 'Taker kills Shane with a Tombstone for the win (17:00).

Rating: Isn't it nice when a match exceeds your low expectations?

Everyone was worried about The Undertaker here, but he actually turned in his most convincing (and least embarrassing) work in probably quite a few years.

It actually felt like he was hungry and wanted to prove himself beyond a mere paycheck after the Goldberg debacle at Super ShowDown.

It helped that he was used sparingly, of course, and the match was sensibly laid out to be a classic WWF-style car wreck. To that end it ran a little too long, perhaps, but delivered the crowd-pleasing carnage you'd hope for, with surprisingly little sloppiness.

Drew continues to look like a million bucks that Vince doesn't know he has, but at least he didn't have to eat the pin.

The adherence to actual tag team rules in a No Holds Barred match will always seem jarring as hell, but overall this was much better than it probably should've been. 7/10
