soup23 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Fun six man with again a real frantic pace and a good mix of talent with people getting involved with main eventers like Bradshaw which was unusual in 2000. Farooq gets worked over quite a bit and this DX squad has good heel bully psychology. The weakest part of the match was the finish. HHH in 2000 has been near perfect in my eyes but this was the first finish that made me groan. Jericho has been built so well that seeing him just fall prey here to a pedigree felt like a slight step back from all of the momentum he has been gaining. HHH will be under a heavy microscope because it is HHH but this was the first time I felt he was put over too strongly. **3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 This really doesn't accomplish much in the big picture, although to the WWF's credit, they did downplay it. Still, I don't even understand why they booked it this way from a business point of view. Likely, they gave HHH the win at the end of the show so he'd agree to go along with the angle at the beginning, but it was still counterproductive. The match had its moments, and they were clearly trying to position Jericho as The Guy with him being left alone with HHH and being the designated hot tag, but the crowd had lost a little faith in him after he relinquished the title without a fight. This match is forgotten, and for good reason. A rare misfire for the time period that feels largely political. Maybe we should have paid more attention, because this was far more predictive of the future than the earlier, more remembered segment.
