Summary: Royal Rumble 03
Review: Brock Lesner vs. Big Show. Not great by any means. But not bad either. Seems like Lesner is the only person that can carry show to a good match. **

Dudley BoyZ with a Z vs. Regal and Storm. This match was ok. But Storm needed more CANADIAN VIOLENCE to get a higher rating. **

Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie. HORRIBLE. NEVER WATCH THIS MATCH. EVER. -***

Scott Steiner vs. HHH. I'm n;ot going to bother explain this match. See above. -***

Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit. AWSOME. If you don't like this match your NOT a wrestling fan. ***** stars all the way.

Rumble Match. You know the routine. Lesner wins. ****.

Buy it JUST for the rumble and Benoit vs. Angle. Skip the rest.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: rumble match and benoit/angle only bright spots in this ppv
Review: brock vs show was a good start
tag team match was lousy

torrie vs dawn was a bad match 1/10

hhh vs steiner the worst match i have ever seen
slow stenier used only about 2 moves.

angle/benoit a must see match 100/10 won match of the year in 03 i say**
without the major superstars this was one of the best entertaining royal rumbles i have seen. exciting from first participant -the 30th only low point was that it was predictable of who was going to win.

ppv 4/10

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Solid Upper-Card, somewhat dull Under-Card
Review: Brock Lesnar vs. The Big Show - OK Match. The best F5 Brock ever gave The Big Show was at Survivor Series 2002. Out of ***** I'd give it a **1/2.

RAW World Tag Team Titles Match:
(Champions)Lance Storm & William Regal vs. The Dudley Boys - No point to the match as the Titles change hands the next night on RAW anyways. **.

Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie - The whole angle was stupid. Actually, it was a good Angle until they did what they did to Al Wilson at the end. Terrible match. But, they kept it short. *1/2.

RAW World Heavyweight Title Match:
(Champion) Triple H vs. Scott Steiner - Bad Match. Triple H really wanted to put on a good 30-minute match with Steiner, he just couldn't though. Botched spot by Steiner. Not a great ending. **.

Smackdown! Undisputed Title Match:
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit - Best match of the night. Some backstage in the WWE said it was one of the best matches in the franchise's history. *****.

Royal Rumble Match:
Great Match. Most entertaining of the nighht probably. Except for maybe Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit. Obvious winner, though. ****.

Overall Show Rating: ***1/2.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Overall okay PPV saved by Angle/ Benoit and Royal Rumble
Review: I saw the Royal Rumble and Ill tell you what I thought.
Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show
Good match. Better than survivor series but kinda predictable.
7.5/10

Dudleyz vs. Regal & Storm
Not as good as I thought it would be but gr8 spot at the end.
7/10

Torrie vs. Dawn Marie
This match was pretty good for a womens match. They're usually not too great.
5/10

Scott Steiner vs. HHH
Horrible match. Steiner is slow and does the same move over and over. Topped by weakest ending ever.
1/10

Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
This match totally saved the show. Angle never has a bad match and Benoit is at the top of his game. Pure beauty. Standing ovation at the end almost made me cry.
1000/10

Royal Rumble Match
One of the best rumbles I have ever seen. Tons of gr8 spots. Jericho does some serious work eliminating 8 guys. Shannon Moore saves Matt Hardy.
10/10

Overall good show.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Angle/Benoit steal the show, Hunter/Steiner REALLY blow
Review: This rumble had some high points and some low points. Each match is out of 5 stars
Opener
Brock Vs. Show
Brock wins with F5. This wasnt THAT bad, but like most Big Show and Brock matches wasnt that good either **
Tag Titles
Dudleyz Vs. Storm and Regal
The Dudleyz win with the 3D, but the next night get stripped of the titles, making this match pointless. Pretty decent match though. **1/4
Torrie Wilson Vs. Her Stepmother (Dawn Marie)
Arent you glad this storyline is over? I was glad when this match was over. Torrie wins with a neckbreaker DUD
World Title
Stenier vs. HHH
This match was about 20 minutes and it was sooooo bad that the crowd boood Steiner, even though he is the good guy!!! HHH gets the DQ. Thatll please the crowd right -***
Smackdown Title
Angle Vs. Benoit
Heres the light at the end of the tunnel. The best match these two have had. Angle wins this 20 minute match, saving this card completely ****3/4
Rumble Match
Brock wins last eliminating Undertaker. good, but predictable rumble ***1/2

Rating: 3 stars

Royal Rumble Match
Very goood with a surprize of Shawn Michaels getting eliminated first. Lots of blood and weapons. Funny when the lil M'fer Shannon moore helped MAtt Hardy stay in the match

OVer all not bad but could have been a better way to kick of the Road to Wrestlemania

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dull, Boring, and yet another Triple H stinkfest
Review: The Rumble event was one of the worst ppv's of the past year. Triple H Vs Scott Steiner was the worst world title match ever, surpassing Triple H Vs Undertaker from KOR 2002. Steiner is finished and Triple H is still boring and dull. Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit is a 5 star match, but of course Triple H gets better billing on the card. Go Figure. The Rumble match itself was predictable, with Lesner winning. Complete garbage. The WWE needs to put the axe on the Triple H show and give it to someone who is actually OVER, like Booker T. or RVD. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An okay card saved by the WWE Title Match and the Rumble....
Review: This has got to be one of the most predictable Royal Rumble PPVs in years. But the card was saved by a spectacular WWE Championship Match and the Rumble Match. Here's the run-down of the card, and I rate at a bust of five stars.

Winner is Entered into the Royal Rumble Match:
Brock Lesnar vs. The Big Show w/ Paul Heyman
***1/2
-Not a bad match, certainly outdid their Survivor Series bout but it's still way too short. The ending is predictable.

World Tag Team Championship Match:
Lance Storm(c) and William Regal vs. The Dudley Boyz
***1/2
-A decent tag title match with great action and technical wrestling supplied by both teams. I think RAW has a superior tag team division when compared to Smackdown. I really liked the ending. In the end, the Dudleyz picked up the victory and are the new World Tag Team Champions.

Stepdaughter vs. Stepmother:
Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie
**1/2
-When compared to the women's divsion on RAW, this match is nowhere close. A horrible angle topped off by a so-so match. The WWE should just leave the women wrestling to RAW.

World Heavyweight Championship Match:
Triple H(c) w/ Ric Flair vs. Scott Steiner
***
-The build-up for this match was tremendous. The match on the otherhand, was a letdown. Scott Steiner still seems to have a case of ring-rust and Triple H has stepped away from being a technical wrestler and has focused more on being a brawler. The moves are so redundant and sloppy. Defenitley not a "blockbuster" match the WWE was making it out to be.

WWE Championship Match:
Kurt Angle(c) vs. Chris Benoit
*****
-A spectacular contest between these two, Angle and Benoit used match physcology and gave it all they had. This match really did save the PPV. This bout tells a story and will leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. A definite M.O.T.Y (Match of the Year) canidate.

Royal Rumble Match:
****1/2
-A very entertaining match with great action supplied by all competitiors. From beginning to finish, this match had it all, including the return of the Undertaker. The ending was predicatble but a great Rumble overall.

The Bottom Line:
Not a bad PPV, certainly not as good as Armageddon and Survivor Series from last year but pretty good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Best pay per view of the decade!
Review: This is possibly one of the best pay per views in the history of wrestling.

KURT ANGLE VS. CHRIS BENOIT
-Not the best match. 3/5

TRIPLE H VS. SCOTT STEINER
-One of the best matches I've ever seen! 4.5/5

DUDLEY BOYZ VS. UN-AMERICANS
-One of the worst matches in history! 2.5/5

TORRIE WILSON VS. DAWN MARIE
-The worst match ever! 0/5

ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH
-Best Royal Rumble match in history! 5/5
