	In 2008, J.D. Dunn of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 7.0 [Good], stating, "This is a PPV of peaks and valleys with Bret/Patriot, Taker/Shawn and the minis being fine matches, but the rest being a pass. It did have Austin going nuts and handing out Stunners, though, which is another plus. Like a lot of shows from this time period. You had the guys you could count on to deliver ***+ matches like Owen, Vader, Taker, Shawn, Bret & Austin and "all the rest."		In 2008, J.D.
