This match was pretty damn good for modern WWE standards
>big time feel
>raucous crowd
>good action, well done moves and psychology
>decently paced action, not just one move/exchange then both guys rolling around on the floor in agony for 2 minutes ad nauseum
>interesting false finish with a double countout
What happened after the countout is a matter of taste, but up until that point it was a pretty darn good match, I don't understand the criticisms it gets, it's far better than a lot of WM main event title matches.
