Result: Finn convinces Edge to say "I quit" after Rhea threatens to give Beth Phoenix a Con-Chair-To (29:55).

Rating: "I Quit" matches are exciting in theory though, like strap matches, have a tendency to feel clunky in execution.

And this got off to a pretty flat start: it felt way too much like a typical wrestling match for too long, save for the awkward overuse of the referee shoving a microphone in their faces during moves we all know won't end the match.

But it picked up a hell of a lot in the back half as things got more extreme and "overbooked," even if WWE's allergy to having faces quit cleanly made it quite predictable that Edge's family would end up being threatened.

Still, having Rhea kill Beth despite Edge's capitulation was a great call, and finally gave The Judgment Day the nuclear heat they've been sorely lacking to date.

Hardly an all-timer I Quit match, and about 10 minutes too long, but once it got going it was a lot of fun and made everyone involved look fierce. 7/10
