This was a fun, high energy 6-man that set the tone for the buildup to WrestleMania. I was particularly impressed with the exchanges between FInlay and Mysterio and Benoit and JBL. In fact, if Benoit and JBL had worked a proper feud with as many PPV matches as Eddie and JBL had, I have no doubt that they would have produced a great match. I'm a big JBL guy, but I thought they had outstanding chemistry here and it's a matchup that excites me. Finlay and Rey also had potential to have a great match. It's a shame that they weren't given the freedom to do so.
