WWE - Triple H vs. Chris Jericho - Smackdown 01... by nickslic123 First up is jericho vs hhh, at the height of the alliance between McMahon and hhh and Austin we have an ic title grudge match. While short I found it entertaining and it's always a pleasure seeing the lionsault actually connect. And also seeing Stephanie in her hot per mommy phase. 6/10

I watched this match because I don't remember A single match Mero was in or if he was good. Turns out he is pretty good. Average sized and can pull off some high flying cruiser weight style maneuvers. However 12 of the 16 minutes of this match is HHH focusing on the arm of Mero. At one point he used the same arm bar that Del Rio uses today. The match wasn't booked well, in my opinion. Focusing more on Sable and ground attacks than allowing the Wildman to show off his skills. Mero does have awesome facials and can sell really well, it almost makes up for the fact that he is such a tool these days. 5/10. Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs Wildman Marc Mero by TSteck160

Punk, as always, sold this match like a champ. I find it annoying that they used a great concept on a ppv world title match only to further a lame storyline. However, it did lead to the amazingly cheesy "buckle up Teddy" vignette. This match is as forgettable and as throw away as it sounds. 4/10. http://youtu.be/aijlOlfjtp0 Full match at this link but no embed code available using the YouTube iPad app.

HHH was on half speed and auto pilot this whole match. Hogan wrestled a typical Hogan match minus one mark out moment when he delivered a Diamond Cutter of all things. The run ins confused me because I don't know the backstory but they were easily the only thing giving this match any emotion. 3/10.

I'm shocked that this match isn't brought up here at TPWW. Fatal Four Way matches are always a mixed bag, very few live up to the hype. In this instance, it overdid all expectations. While I found that Vader can't sell for shit I still enjoyed this match like it was a Wrestlemania main event. Constant action, blood, elimination style combat where there were no rules. Ill put this match on the short list of FFW matches worth watching. 9/10. 028. Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart vs The... by ccu150

Never seen this match, or any Lynn matches to be honest. I hear he can go. He can, just a shame this match clocks in at 6 minutes. 4/10. Jeff Hardy vs Jerry Lynn by carllfc06
