I personally thought this feud, in storyline terms, worked amazingly.

It brought back Nash into the WWE with a realistic and dramatic story, a man coming to try and bring his friends together only to be turned on by Triple H, who had let the power go to his head. I remember thinking the DQ finish was a brilliant way to end their match, because I was genuinely frustrated that Nash, who now came across as a big, bad ass mother lover who was going to destroy, couldn't beat The Game.

Obviously from a wrestling stand point, their matches were never going to be five star classics, Nash having dodgy knees and HHH working very slow methodical matches were always going to make them stinkers.

As for the feuds importance on 2003, I thought it was too short to make that much of a difference, it was a great "while your waiting" feud until we got to the Goldberg, but it didn't feel like a throw away, it made sense, something the WWE is lacking at the moment.
