Summary: No Mercy
Review: I was at No Mercy when it came to St. Louis and it was a decent show. The ladder match between Christian and Edge was awesome and the Rock and Jericho had a great match for the WCW title. The triple-threat match between RVD, Austin, and Angle was good, especially when Vince got involved, but it was shorter than expected. The lingerie match between Stacy and Torrie was nice as well

Summary: This "No Mercy" just had it all...
Review: I'll begin by saying that I'm a diehard old-school WWF fan (specifically, from the early 80's until the mid-90's), recalling a time when the matches were better and the storylines were much more involved & interesting. Nonetheless, the WWF is still great, even if Vince McMahon had to make these changes to keep up with the times.
So why did such a stubborn old-school WWF fan purchase this year's "No Mercy" on video and even rate it the full five stars? Because plain and simple, it was one spectacular show, with concentration on quality matches (well, not all the time, but nothing's perfect). This pay-per-view really stood out when comparing it to the almost every other month pay-per-view that the WWF airs these days.
Although this has been done here before, I will give a rundown of every match. Note: I will NOT reveal the outcomes, in case you don't know the results.WCW Tag Team Championship. Hardy Boyz vs. Lance Storm & The Hurricane: Any match with the Hardy Boyz will inevitably be a high-flying action-packed spectacle, and this one was no exception. Lance Storm, who's quite underrated IMO, was also great. The only qualm I had with this match was the choice of The Hurricane for Lance's partner. His goofball approach to wrestling has gotten rather old, and didn't do any justice to the overall "atmosphere" of this match. Kane vs. Test: Test's superstar status has recently gotten a major jumpstart in the WWF when he became a bad guy. And going by his style of wrestling, he's probably better off a villain anyhow. In this match he demonstrates just that. A lot of aggressive wrestling from both Test and Kane. First ever lingerie match. Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Keibler: Surprisingly, there was actually some *wrestling* going on in this one, although the main sight was of course both divas in their lingerie. If you like to look at beautiful women, this one's for you. WWF Intercontinental Championship in a ladder match. Christian vs. Edge: It was brother vs. brother in yet another classic ladder match. Is there any ladder match that WASN'T good? Both Edge and Christian gave it their all and put on a great show. WWF Tag team Championship. Dudley Boyz vs. Big Show & Tajiri: I had a very similar reaction to this one as I did with the Hardys vs. Storm & Hurricane. As with the choice of The Hurricane, I didn't like the Big Show (who uses 1/10th of his potential) as a partner of Tajiri (another underrated wrestler). Still, it was a descent match. The Dudleys always put up a good fight, and Tajiri has some mega-cool moves which he executed beautifully here. Undertaker vs. Booker T: Here we see the Dead Man and Booker T at their best. Undertaker didn't do as many showy moves as he did in his match with Triple H at Wrestlemania X-7, but he and Booker T worked together to make this one a definite keeper. WCW Championship. The Rock vs. Chris Jericho: This turned out to be one of my all-time favorite matches with Jericho, mainly because of the performance he gave. He fought harder than he usually does in his matches. This one had everything: technical wrestling and a focus on a quality performance by both The Rock and Jericho. WWF Championship in a triple-threat match. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Kurt Angle: One never knows what to expect in a triple-threat match. Will someone turn against a former friend to win? Will 2 former enemies team up to eliminate the third guy and then go at it themselves? What added even more uncertainty to this match was the fact that Rob Van Dam isn't technically a good guy nor a bad guy, and could have easily turned on anybody or teamed up with anybody. Maybe both. That sense of mystery gave this match a different kind of flavor, not to mention the obvious awesome performances by all 3 competitors. Some people have said that the ending was predictable, but it really wasn't if you take into account all the uncertainties in this match. What more can I say? "No Mercy 2001" delivered what it promised, with added twists that kept the show interesting, quality matches, excitement, and just an overall treat for both novice WWF fans as well as the old-school WWF fans such as myself. Something for everyone.

Summary: WRESTLING at it's best
Review: If you're a die-hard WRESTLING fan, this is definately a tape for you. The WCW Title is on the line as Chris Jericho attempts to "Win The Big One" as he challenges The Rock. If you have never seen this match, just buy this tape for that sole reason. Main Event features RVD and Kurt Angle try to take the WWF Championship from the rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin. Also for the guys there is a decent lingerie match between Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson. One of the more decent pay-per-views of the Allience angle.

Summary: Excellent PPV!!!
Review: It's very rare that a wwe ppv is good from top to bottom, but I think this one actually did the trick. It's almost as good as WrestleMania 17, but not quite! It was hands-down the best ppv concerning the whole invasion storyline that went from july to november. Edge vs Christian and Rock vs Y2J were both match of the year contenders. The main event was pretty good between RVD, Kurt Angle, and Stone Cold. The worst match on the show was probably Test vs Kane, but that match wasn't that bad either.
Overall, it is highly recommended.

Summary: WWF Delivers with No Mercy
Review: Live from the Savvis Center in St. Louis, Missouri, No Mercy 2001 took place on October 21! I had 4th row tickets and you can clearly see me throughout the show (especially when Austin & Angle spill out into the crowd: I brought a sign that on one side has "Where's EZ Money?" and on the other "R V D"). If you are a fan of the WWF or just great wrestling, you must buy this DVD. Edge versus Christian for the WWF Intercontinental Title, the ladder match, was spectacular and will leave you breathless. ****1/2 Chris Jericho versus The Rock for the WCW Title was perhaps the finest match in The Rock's career and truly exemplified Y2J's great talent. ***** Stone Cold versus Kurt Angle versus "Mr. Pay Per View" Rob *point* Van *point* Dam *point* was a good three-way dance with tons of classic spots. **** This is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best pay-per-views the WWF has done all year and should be a part of every sports-entertainment fan's DVD library.

Summary: Several thrilling matches save an otherwise average event
Review: No Mercy 2001 was built around the WWE/Alliance feud, which was host to a decent storyline featuring Stone Cold and Kurt Angle feuding over the WWE Championship, with newcomer Rob Van Dam thrown into the mix to create an exciting triple threat main event at the PPV. There was also a traditional face vs. face feud involving The Rock and Chris Jericho, which leads to another big match with the now defunct WCW strap on the line. There is lots more, including the conclusion of the sibling feud between Edge and Christian in a ever popular ladder match, along with The Undertaker and Kane looking for retrobution against Test and Booker T in singles competition. Many titles are up for grabs on this event, which is stacked with eight quality matches. I will review each match and give it a rating out of five stars (*****): WCW Tag Team Championship - The Hardy Boyz (with Lita) vs. Lance Storm (with Ivory) and the Hurricane (with Mighty Molly): This is a good opening match, lots of near falls and excitement towards the end, with everyone including the ladies getting involved. ***1/4 Test vs. Kane: Pretty slow match, with a lot of brawling and power moves. The pace picks up a bit near the end, where both men try hard to quicken the pace, but this bout is mediocre at its best. *1/2 Lingerie Match - Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Keibler: A surprisingly decent outing, with both ladies looking great in their outfits. Some okay wrestling is also attempted, and this will please all male viewers. *** Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match - Edge vs. Christian: Wicked ladder match between the brothes will with all the stops being pulled out. High risk spots and good grappling result in an awesome battle. ****1/2 WWE Tag Team Championship - Tajiri and The Big Show vs. The Dudley Boyz: Another good example of tag team wrestling with some awesome sequences building up to an exciting climax. *** Undertaker vs. Booker T: Another slow paced match up, but some decent submission wrestling is thrown in along with some close near falls and a great ending. **3/4 WCW Championship - The Rock vs. Chris Jericho: AWESOME battle with loads of gripping action and thrilling sequences. Match of the night by a wide margin. ****3/4 WWE Championship Triple Threat Match: Rob Van Dam vs. Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold: Another great bout to top off a spectacular event with loads of high spots from Rob Van Dam and great brawling from Angle and Austin. ****1/2 This is worth the money alone just for the last two matches, both which were brilliant. With other acceptable wrestling this is definately a four star event. It would of acheived five if it were not for the second and sixth matches, both of which had little heat and very slow brawling. Definately worth renting or even buying just for some of the action. Terrific event overall. Final Rating - **** (Four Stars)

Summary: WWF v.s Alliance, No Mercy is shown
Review: No Mercy 2001 was one of the best PPV's of the year. Here is the review of this great event. Hardy Boyz v.s Lance Storm and the Hurricane (WCW tag team titles) 9/10
There is no better way to start a PPV then this. This was a great match with some really cool moves. Lita, Ivory and Mighty Molly get involved too. Hardy's win. Test v.s Kane
8.5/10
Another really good match. These 2 give it there all for 10 minutes straight. Kane kicks out of everything until Test gets a huge big boot for the win. The after-match is really cool because Nick Patrick gets the hell beaten out of him. I totally loved this match. Torrie Wilson v.s Stacy Keibler (first ever lingerie match)
8/10
The wrestling may not have been any Benoit/Angle match, but god dam those chicks are fine! Edge v.s Christian (ladder match for the intercontinental title)
10/10
An amazing ladder match that goes for nearly 25 minutes. Both men take some of the biggest bumps of all time, especially Christian. Edge wins a classic ladder match and the title.
(Side note: Christian is the next Shawn Michaels, not Jeff Hardy or Y2J; the peep daddy is the next HBK!) The Dudley Boyz v.s Big Show and Tajiri (WWF tag team titles)
8/10
This was a really good match. Even though it was probably was the worst match on the card, it was still good! Rhyno Gores Big show and the Dudleys win. The Undertaker v.s Booker T
8/10
This could have been better. It was still good, but a no d-q stipulation would have worked better. Some good moves though and Undertaker wins with a last ride. The Rock v.s Chris Jericho (WCW title)
9.5/10
This was one of the best matches of the year! Y2J finally wins the big one. The Rock puts Jericho over in an amazing match. Stephanie McMahon comes down and gets a rock bottom. Great match by 2 great athletes. Stone Cold v.s Kurt Angle v.s Rob Van Dam (WWF title)
9/10
A great and worthy main event between 3 wrestlers with very different styles. RVD was in his first main event match and did really well. Kurt Angle was just Kurt Angle and he did an amazing moonsalt in this match. Austin wins after interference from Shane and Vince. Fantastic main event. So all in all No mercy 2001 was a great event. Out of 80 it gets 70.5. Buy this DVD or video now!

Summary: No Mercy Was Just That
Review: No Mercy was just that!! It was an absolutly fabulous PPV that showed us no mercy, in the fact that it was unrelenting! Not a dull match on the card. The only two PPV's better were Wrestlemania X-7 and Invasion(which I saw live), but this DVD is still well worth the purchase. So dont wait any longer, buy it today and enjoy it!!!
