I dont know it came across on TV, but Cena was one of the most over guys on the show. During his match there were all kinds of Cena chants. I'd put him just behind the Benoit title win, and the Evolution-RocknSock match. But again maybe on TV it seemed different. Cena needs a good solid run with the US title as the semi main event player alongside Eddie. He doesn't have to be Benoit in the ring, because he's already twice as over as Benoit is.
Eddie was getting chants throughout his match, but it was quiet to start because there were a ton of Angle fans.
Flair was way over, especially when he was in with Rock, actually I didn't think Foley was as over as I thought he'd be in the Garden.
The Benoit thing grew as the match went on, much as I figured. I think the fans were thinking that HHH would somehow get out of doing a JOB, thankfully they were wrong. By the time they got to the finish, the crowd was going crazy for the title switch, which is as much Benoit's doing as it was the booking and everyone involved in the match.
Taker also got a huge pop and chants for his entrance, but I think people were dumbfounded with his new stupid look.
