This match was a big disappointment for me. Taker’s ring entrances was one of the plainest I’ve ever seen and the match wasn’t that much more exciting. The fought for a while and it was fine but nothing overly exciting. Eventually the ministry (Edge, Christian, and Gangrel) repelled from the ceiling onto the top of the cell. They tore open the cell and dropped a noose down to Taker and tied the rope off up top, then they reattached to their harnesses to be winched back up to the ceiling. Edge’s winch stopped about half way up and the poor guy had to just hang their in mid air for quiet a while. Taker put the noose around Boss Man’s throat and the cage was raised and Boss Man was lifted off of the ground, he flailed for his life before eventually hanging still. I guess we were supposed to think he had just been murdered. This was WAY TOO much for me and just stupid. I’ve even been told Boss Man was on TV the next day. Immediately after we saw Boss Man hung to DEATH they cut to a video hyping the WWE Rage Party, with people singing, dancing, and partying. WTF, nice segue.
Jim Ross was brought out (to a huge pop) to replace Cole and call the Main Event. What an awesome idea this was and would be still today.
