*****. Benoit and Jericho's longest match in WWF to date. Glad Regal vs. Test was cancelled, because that match would've sucked, and it would've taken time away from this match. Kudos to both men for having an old school WWF ladder match with fluidity and psychology. One that wasn't like all the stunt men shows and TLC's we see today. Two clean finishes in a row.

DUD. After the match, Lawler and Billy Gunn go to the ring and check on Chyna. Chyna is taken away by the paramedics. Is her career over again? I think that rating is pretty generous. Chyna sucks, women's wrestling sucks, and the RTC sucks. After the WWF pushed the RTC so much and Chyna as well, where are they all? WWF had to slowly kill RTC b/c they f'n suck, and Chyna quit. Great job bookers.

***3/4. Crowd is silent once again. That was a lame and anti-climatic finish. No kudos for the WWF for not having the balls to book a clean finish. Angle messed up the psychology in the match with a couple of spots. The cat fight and the appearance of Austin was really the only times the crowd gave a reaction to this match. This proves that heel vs. heel matches suck. Angle held the WWF title longer than anyone else in 3 years, and he was a very lame duck champion. He hardly had any clean or credible wins, and he didn't even main event all the pay-per-views as world champion. Anyway this match was a lot better than their crap fests on RAW and Unforgiven.
