I personally found it to be pretty boring and average. The amount of lengthy chinlocks really annoyed me thought I'll admit I pop for a couple of the near falls.
I'll give it a 5 all things consider.

I gave it a 6. The two guys don't have a lot of chemistry, IMO. It happens, but they made the best of it.

6, for the last 4-5 minutes, barring the clusterf***ity.
At least there were some false finishes and the Rock had a hope spot. The RR was legitmately god awful.

That near-fall where Punk kicked out of the People's Elbow got me but other than that, it sucked.

I'd give it a solid 8 save the finish so I guess I dock it to a 7. Much better than their match last month.

I'm not much of a fan of any of Punk's long WWE matches as a heel.

I didn't see the Rumble match so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it wasn't that great. My friends and I were definitely burned out by then.

Rock isn't in any condition to really go at it in matches anymore, and it shows.

I gave it a 4. I thought it was below average to be honest. Punk and Rock just don't have great chemistry as was previously mentioned.

I'm not much of a fan of any of Punk's long WWE matches as a heel. The Jericho match was good. Stuff with Cena is good. It's just Ryback is Ryback and Rock just ain't in working shape, I don't know if it's because he's old or if because he's blown up to look like the Incredible Hulk, but these two matches were not up to his par. |

8.
It was the match I wanted at the Rumble. The only thing that I had a problem with was that second ref bump... yeah.

7, except for the fact that the last ref "bump" was lame, this was pretty ok and what I would expect from Rock, better than Cena/Rock from WM in my view.

I'd give it an 8. Easily the Rock's best match since coming back to WWE.

I give it a 5, and only because I'm feeling generous.

The first half was a bit tame, and not just in the actual holds applied more in the whole feel of the match, but the second half picked up a bit and they benefited from the ref bumps/table bumps.
I'd say it's probably a 7.5 but more likely a 7. I don't think it'll hold up well with age and I'd be very surprised if anyone talks about it for Match of The Year a lot later on.
