Summary: WWE No Mercy 2003
Review: I will be rating to the PPV itself and not the DVD that is not out yet. I gave this PPV a weak 4 Star rating, almost a 3 Star PPV, however Big Show and Brock is what gives it a 4.
Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri (12 mins) 3/5
Descent opener and fair cruiserweight match. The only problem was that there was nothing that made this match special from other matches between these 2. Am I the only one fed up with "Run In" victories?
Chris Benoit vs. A-Train (12 mins)2/5
Freaking snoozfest! Both "athletes" (if you can call that baldheaded, fat, hairybodied, no talent blob an athlete) put me to sleep; they are just so damn boring to watch. Nice blood spot in this match, 1 Star earned. Had a good tribute to the Hart's with the end being Albert in a sharpshooter, 1 Star earned, hence 2 Stars.
Matt Hardy vs. Zach Gowen (7 mins) 2/5
A mediocre match with both men putting on half-decent performances. My thought is that Matt had to bring it down a notch considering his twice the man that Zach "Hop Along" Gowen is. Hardy has never had to half-ass it before in his career, but now that the human freak-show is around Matt was forced to perform at a less than intense level. Just sad that one less than par person is aloud to bring down an entire roster of real Superstars.
Basham Brothers vs. APA (9 mins) 3/5
Terrible filler, not a good match at all. Had that crap with Shaniqua. The Basham Brothers aren't that great and the APA deserved to win. Again with the "Run In", give me a break. Can't us fans just be given an even fair match were the best competitors win and not the ones with the best "Run In".
Vince McMahon vs. Stephanie McMahon in a No Holds Barred I Quit Match (9 mins) 4/5
This match was better than what most people expected with Vince bleeding the hard way. This match exceeded everyone's expectations, and was fun to watch. Linda throwing in the towel, Shades how Bob Backlund lost the WWE title many years ago. Steph lost the match but never said I quit, the stipulation said if Steph said I quit in the match than she would have to quit as SMACKDOWN! GM. She never said I quit in the match look for that to play out on the show.
Kurt Angle vs. John Cena (18 mins) 5/5
Match up of the night by these two men. Angle got bloody. This was an extremely good match. John Cena can definitely wrestle.
Eddie Guerrero vs. Big Show (11 mins) 4/5
Is there any real doubt that the Big Show can beat anyone on any roster at anytime? My only problem with this storyline was the build-up, Show jumping Guerrero on SMACKDOWN!, making it seem like that would be the only way to beat Eddie is by cheap shots. Whatever, the right Superstar won.
Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar in a Biker Chain Match (24 mins) 5/5
A good performance by both men. This match didn't really need to be a biker chain match since it was only used once. It also leads up to the feud between McMahon and Taker. Featured yet another "Run In", this time it was Vince running in to help Brock retain, and remain not only the WWE Champ but also Brock holds an undefeated record over the Undertaker, and know one can say that. Realistically The "Run In" was unnecessary, Brock can beat Taker anytime and proved that in all three match ups.

Summary: This was good, but not great
Review: No Mercy 2003 was the second time ever that I watched a No Mercy event, on ppv that is. Besides three matches that were great, the rest lacked any sense of excitement or sanity, I'll get to that later......
Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri: A surprisingly fast paced match that the crowd was really into to. Lots of high impact and high flying moves. The ending was bad though because two unknown "fans" charged the ring and caused Mysterio to get pinned. Still a good match, even with a bad ending. 8.5/10
A-Train vs. Chris Benoit: This was another great match, very surprising since it had A-Train in it. A chair was used a lot in this match, and a scary moment when Benoit fell on his head. Benoit didn't make A-Train tapp out with the crossface, but he did with the sharpshooter. 8/10
APA vs. The Basham Brothers: One word - DUD! That amazon woman comes down to the ring and costs the APA the match. After the match she claimed that a clothesline from hell had swelled her, cough cough, and made them bigger. Can we say brest implants? A horrible match. 6/10
Eddie Guerrero vs. Big Show: The lead up to this match was great, the match itself was only okay. Eddie tried everything to keep his title, but Big Show fought long and hard and became the US champion. Luckily Eddie would win the Main title four months later, but right then, this was only an okay match. 7/10
Zack Gowen vs. Matt Hardy: Dont know where Gowen went after this match, after the beating he got from lesnar he disappeared. The match was short, and okay just for the fact that Gowen got his first, and only, win on a ppv. Definatley forgettable though. 7/10
John Cena vs. Kurt Angle: Best match of the night by far, the crowd was very into this match right from the very start. Kind of symbolic that Kurt had his medals in one corner and Cena had his chain in the other. A back and forth battle that proved Cena can actually wrestle, when he's not making very bad rhymes. A great match that Kurt won. 9/10
Mr McMahon vs. Stephanie McMahon: If you look at the video that led up to this match you will be totally creeped out like I was. The crowd was behind Stephanie the entire time, and unfortunately even that didn't help this No Holds Barred Match. A very creepy segment in this ppv. 7/10
Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker: Why was this called a biker chain match? The chain wasn't used AT ALL in this 25 minute plus match. The interference by the FBI and Mr. McMahon totally ruined the match and brought it down. Dont watch this if you want to know what a chain match is, because your questions wont be answered. 8/10
All in all, this is okay to rent. Don't buy this unless you are willing to pay for it just for the Kurt, Cena match. The rest rank from ehh to What the hell is this?

Summary: No Mercy
Review: no mercy was pretty good in spots, but so so in others. it couldn't follow vengeance in terms of great ppvs. the one high spot about the dvd is some extras. finally, wwe wises up. WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
TAJIRI VS REY MYSTERIO 9/10- excellent match. have always wanted to see these 2 go at it. reminds me of the great wcw cruiserweight matches. ending is only thing that kept this from being a 10. A-TRAIN VS CHRIS BENOIT 9/10- what a suprise! a-train's best match of his career. benoit brought the best out in him. BASHAM BROS. VS APA 4/10- not real impressed with the bashams. need to loss the [vualgar] gimmick. what's up with the wwe thinking it needs [vulgarity] to sell wrestling, anyway? MATT HARDY VS ZACH GOWEN 9/10- great match. gowen is amazing. i know everyone says hardy is having to hold back. zach is improving. suprise ending. I QUIT MATCH
MR. MCMAHON VS STEPHANIE MCMAHON 7/10- not much of a wrestling match. gets a 7 because of the entertainment value. the promo at the beginning of no mercy about this match was creepy. sable & linda mcmahon were involved. JOHN CENA VS KURT ANGLE 8/10- slow start to this match made it boring at 1st, but the pace picked up to make it exciting. great ending. not real happy with cena's provoking the crowd to vulgarity he's not allowed to say. would have been a 10 if not for slow start. U.S. CHAMPIONSHIP
EDDIE GUERRERO VS BIG SHOW 6/10- these 2 don't work well together. their styles don't mesh, even though they tried to make it work. disappointing match. boring in spots. the buildup was awesome for this, but didn't live up to the hype. BIKER CHAIN MATCH(WWE CHAMPIONSHIP)
BROCK LESNAR VS UNDERTAKER 5/10- undertaker's 1st main event in a yr. may be his last. not a very good main event. these 2 have had much better matches together. pace was too slow at times. again buildup was great, but turned out disappointing. if not for the ending ranking would have been lower. one of the worst main events of the year. should have been lower on the card. no mercy starts out great with 3 of the 1st 4 matches being good, then goes downhill from there.

Summary: No Mercy was better than expected
Review: No Mercy was the second Smackdown only PPV. It looked awful on paper, but turned out to be pretty good. 1.Cruiserweight Championship-Tajiri d. Rey Mysterio to retain the title after two unknown men interfered. Good match, but not as good as there first and second encounter. 6/10 2.Chris Benoit d. A-Train with a sharpshooter. This match was very good. It just proves that Benoit can make anyone look good, especially this loser A-Train. 6/10 3.Zach Gowen d. Matt Hardy after a moonsault. What the hell were they thinking letting this cripple beat a great wrestler like Matt Hardy???? I almost cried. Gowen is a joke and Hardy should be getting a push, not losing to one legged freaks. Pretty plain match. 4/10 4.Basham Brothers d. APA after Shaniqua interfered. I am not a fan of either of these teams, especially those pervert Bashams, but they got the victory over the beer drinking dorks the APA. This match was of Velocity caliber and should have been left off the ppv. 3/10 5. Father-Daughter "I Quit" Match - Vince McMahon d. Stephanie McMahon after choking Steph with a steel pipe. This match was very entertaining, but some really unnecessary stipulations were added that took away from the anticipation of the I Quit match. Stephanie could pin Vince, which really doesn't make it an I Quit match anymore. Still, it was good and Stephanie lost which made it even better. Linda threw in the towel which should come into play later on. 7/10 6.Kurt Angle d. John Cena with the ankle lock. Awesome match that really showcased Cena's abilities. Angle puts on another classic(seems like every ppv match Angle does is classic). Definitely in the top five in the list of matches of the year.
10/10 7.United States Championship Match-Big Show d. Eddie Guerrero to win the title after a chokeslam. Guerrero's reign ended after three months with the title in a really good match. Big Show nearly wins several times,but Eddie nearly manages to cheat his way to victory. Big Show eventually prevails to become US Champion. Good match from both guys. 7/10 8.WWE Championship Biker Chain Match-Brock Lesnar d. Undertaker to retain the title after Vince interfered and allowed Lesnar to grab the chain and nail Taker in the head with it. Great match that really did not need to be a ridiculuously named Biker Chain Match. Some great back and forth action with lots of interference and the lights going out. Taker proves he still has it and Lesnar secures his first real title defense since beating Angle. 8/10 Overall a very entertaining show. The first two matches are very good and the last four are great, but the middle of the show is dull with some unneccessary matches dragging the show down. Still, very good showing from the Smackdown guys.

Summary: October 2003 - First Mariner Arena - Baltimore, MD
Review: Not a very good PPV. The Smackdown brand did not do the best job. There was one real good match, though.
1. Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri (Cruiserweight Title)
Good way to kick off the show, except the match wasn't what was expected. These two had some great matches on Smackdown. Why not make the PPV match good? Akio and Sakoda make appearances in the match. (7.5/10)
2. A-Train vs. Chris Benoit
This was probably A-Train's best match in the WWE. Although, Chris Benoit pretty much carried him the entire match. Good dedication to Stu Hart by Benoit, with the use of the Sharpshooter. (8/10)
3. Zach Gowen vs. Matt Hardy
This was supposed to be at Summerslam. Who cares. I am glad Gowen is gone. I am very glad the WWE switched Hardy to RAW. (4/10)
4. APA vs. Basham Brothers (#1 Contender Match for the WWE Tag Titles)
Ummm, why was this on here? I guess it was a card filler. Very bad match. (5/10)
5. Stephanie McMahon vs. Vince McMahon (I Quit Match/If Stephanie Loses She Has to Give up Her Spot as Smackdown GM)
This was actually a pretty entertaining match. Stephanie put on a good performance. (7.5/10)
6. John Cena vs. Kurt Angle
Great match. By far match of the night. It really saved the PPV. Probably Cena's best match in the WWE so far. The crowd actually got on Cena's side and started chanting his name. (9/10)
7. Eddie Guerrero vs. Big Show (U.S. Title)
I was expecting a lot from this match, but nothing really happened. It was somewhat boring. (7/10)
8. Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker (WWE Title/Biker Chain Match)
I hated this match. Why was it a Biker Chain Match if it was barely used. Very, very disappointing. Vince makes and appearance. This match is long and very boring. (7/10)
Do not buy this DVD. The only reason I would say to get it is because of the Angle/Cena match. Although, this is on the Cena DVD (which I heard wasn't very good)
Overall Rating: 7/10

Summary: WWE NO MERCY 2003
Review: Now this is better from the WWE I mean it wasn't great but it was good, they actually gave each match enough time the booking some what odd although the matches did pull off. This has been another bad year for the WWE and ive seen some of the worst PPV from them in years this year though it isn't the end of the year yet you cant really see WWE making there last to PPV so good that it makes up for the rest of the year i feel that they have ran out of ideas. Storylines have been rushed, risky, desperate and nothing you haven't seen before, matches have become so repetitive its boring they have the talent, there just not using them right putting a talented guy against a talent less guy is reoccurring A-TRAIN verse Benoit is a prime example. Triple H needs to realise that his ego has become so big that when he had the title he made it look bad cos when you say your the best wrestler in wrestling today that means your suppose to wrestle not go out there kicking and punching all the time and hyping matches up so much when it comes to it he cant live up to the hype cos what he produces in that ring its murder and shouldn't be allowed to be shown on T.V. Zach Gowen is another idea from the WWE that wont work and it you think its going to work then you haven't been watching the WWE long they should just open a disabled wrestling school now don't waste your money on this and watch some decent pro wrestling like- NJPW,AJPW,AAA,NWA,NWA-TNA,MICHINOKU PRO,WCW1997-1998,WWE2000-2001

Summary: Over all it isn't too bad, but a couple major complaints
Review: Ok...The reason I only gave it 3 stars is because of the following complaints:
1. Brock and Taker's match was expected to be much more brutal than this. The chain wasn't used much. And I agree with the reviewer who mentioned that Brock and Undertaker had a couple matches the previous year that were FAR more exciting.
2. Although Stephanie and Vince's match was a lot more action packed than we could have ever predicted...I still was upset at the crap ending with the towel being thrown in.
I am not the biggest Stephanie fan, but at the time this took place she was at the hieght of her new found popularity.. And I thought it was increadibly stupid to have her leave the show at this point.
And clearly my fears about that were confirmed when they then made Paul Haymen the general manager of Smackdown. And as you know...Paul went on to do a terrible job as General Manager. He was more annoying than ever and the show took a nose dive for a while... after Stephanie had brought the ratings up.
Plus, Vince ended up vanishing for a while anyway, so it made no sense at all for the writers to think having him win in this fashion would be a smart idea.
My biggest PRAISE for this event was the match with (face) Kurt Angle versus (heel) John Cena. Great Match! And one of the last times we see John Cena shine while playing the villan. Also, this was the last time Kurt Angle really kicked butt as the good guy before the writers started leading him back to becoming the villan again. Anyway, I think Kurt should have stayed as the (face) good guy a while longer than he did. And here you get to see why. Plus, the events that lead up to this event concerning Cena and Angle were absolutely hilarious and entertaining. It was quite a FUN feud to watch.
So, taking the good with the bad....I decided to give it 3 out of 5 stars.
