Edge vs. HBK: A very good match between an icon and a rising star. Edge has greatly improved in the ring and HBK can bring a good match out of anybody. A solid match and a good way to start the PPV.
Taker vs. Heidenreich: I don't like Heidenreich. This match was good simply because of the surprise appearances of Snitsky and Kane. After that, the match picked up. The worst match on the card, and it wasn' that bad.
JBL vs. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show: A good, fast-paced match that exceeded my expectations. The ending was a cluster **** with the Cabinet and Angle's henchmen at ringside. But overall a great match. HHH vs. Randy Orton: Much better than their encounter at Unforgiven. Randy really shines in this match and Hunter is great as usual. I liked the way they played off the concussion angle and it didn't kill the match. Very good.
Rumble: A great match that never got boring. Rey, Edge, Eddie, Benoit, Cena, and Batista all impress in this match. Although I think we all knew it would come down to Cena and Batista, it was still very good. Overall, I rate this PPV 8/10moreless
