I really like this match. The intensity is incredible as is the crowd reaction. I love how Austin is so focused that he attacks Rock right away, no staredown.
That said, both men are very sloppy, I don't like the sharpshooter spot as there is no build to it, and both men are sloppy as hell. I also hate the ending, which makes sense I know, but I just don't like it-I prefer clean finishes, but then again, maybe it is Austin's shitty heel run influencing my thinking.
THAT said, Austin is incredible here. He plays his role as desperate man to perfection, especially with his facial expressions, particularily at the end where Rock keeps kicking out. I really dig how he just snaps and wails on Rock with the chair like 10 times.
So, Rock is sloppy and I hate McMahon's involvement, but everything else is perfect. ****1/2
