It's hard to tell whats underrated and overrated from this current era because they haven't really started hocking the legacy of the matches and moments of the present yet.
I agree, but on the other hand, I think the crowd sort of hurt the match as well. The whole "Rock/Hogan" effect can make matches, but in John Cena's case, I think it really hurt him. If Triple H was not getting face pops because he wasn't Cena, and Cena was more effectively presented as a face -- I think the match would get more credit for telling the intended story of a new face being established as the "unstoppable force" in World Wrestling Entertainment.

That portion of his career represents why Cena was so loathed as a face for a long period of time. He was overproduced (big entrances can be cool, but Cena's platform from the ceiling at the 2006 Royal Rumble highlights just how "company" he was), booked to be invincible, and was forced down our throats as being this figure of infallible virtue. Yuck.
