The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan - Another potential classic if just for the crowd reaction this one is going to get. A hot crowd will make an average match seem amazing. Hopefully Hogan will be able to pull another good performance out of his aging body. i have high hopes this will at least be good.
Steiner vs. HHH - The last one was painful to watch. I don't expect much more out of this one unless they book it masterfully and add the wildcard that is the rest of Evolution into the mix. I actually WANT to see a lot of interference in this one just to keep it tolerable.
Team Angle vs. Team Lesnar - This should be worth the price of the PPV alone. Get your VCRs ready.
Test vs. Jericho - Jericho is always solid and Test is underrated but not on par with Jericho. I would have much preferred to have seen Jericho vs. Michaels but this one should be interesting and not just filler.
Hardy vs. Billy Kidman - Talk about exact opposites. Matt Hardy has one of the best ring pewrsonalities in the WWE right now, while Kidman can work but has as much charisma as talcum powder. This will be good, but it will take Hardy to push this one to a memorable match and not just filler, as Jericho and Test might very well be if Jericho isn't allowed to call the shots.
This looks to be a solid PPV, but not a blow away by any stretch of the imagination. There's not enough variety of matches and of the 3 best workers in the company (Angle, Test and Benoit) are in the same match. I would like to see the Dudley Boys vs. Regal and Storm in a tables match myself. the mix of hardcore (Dudleys + Tables) with excellent traditional matwork (Storm and Regal) would make for an outstanding combination. Plus you could take their series of matches to the next level of intensity to finally put an end to the feud so that they could both move on.

I think you mean Angel, Benoit and Lesnar or someone other than Test because you called him an average wrestler a few paragraphs up.
And I agree with you that the card doesn't blow anyone away, but I think it looks to do a good job of what it's supposed to do and that's build interest for WrestleMania XIX, but I should wait for more matches to be announced.
