Surprisingly Dave Metlzer agreed and gave it Five Stars.
The match itself was nothing short of fantastic from a purist point of view but really, Wrestlemania's main event matches overshadowed this match in every single way in term, the psychology, the storylining of Taker/ Hunter (got 4.75 Stars) and Rock/ Cena(Only 3.75) was superior to Elign/Richards.
Elign was clearly the star of the match but the selling was a bit off and it was too much like a Puro match, and less American style... Not taking anyway from it but if RoH really want to stand tall at the Wrestlemania weekend, they gotta do more WWE-Esque stuff for that night. Elign and Richards just lacked the storyline dramaticness that it needed to be better than Taker/ Hunter or Rock/ Cena.
