Summary: Bit better than Vengeance but still needs work
Review: Sfter a string of hideous PPVs WWE cameout with Summerslam 2002, which many people have hailed as an all-time classic. I beg to differ. While a definite improvement on the last 2 abominations, Summerslam 2002 is still very disappointing. The only good match is Lesnar-Rock, and that's only because of crowd reaction. Otherwise we get a lot of blown spots, long restholds, and political maneuvring. Witness Test destroy the tag team of Booker T and Goldust with one unimpressive kick, only to fall victim to Undertaker in 30 seconds. Watch Ric Flair hold Jericho down like he was Shane Douglas, and marvel at how ANYBODY could find HHH-Michales anything other than boring. Still, thumbs up to Lesnar and Goldust for putting in some effort. It's too bad the rest can't be the same.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Summer
Review: A very impressive pay-per-view,one of the best if not the best of 2002.
Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio-what more could you ask for for an opening match.Kurt is probaly the best in the buisness and this is an awesome match.

Shawn michaels vs HHH-street fight rules and a good comeback story with Shawn.this was the reason i bought this dvd.Good spots.Match of the year candidate.

Brock vs. rock-good championship match with brock getting over pretty clean.
All the matches are good but those three really stand out.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Without a doubt, the WWE's best PPV ever...
Review: Being one of a growing number of fans getting sick of shock tv just for the sake of shock wrestling tv, it thrills me to see such fabulous wrestling at such a time of desperation. This is either proof that the WWE has given up shock tv(e.i. the HLA, and necrophilia Katie Vick angles) and gone the route of good old style wrestling, or this is the best assemblage of talent on the planet. Either way, after recieving this on X-mas I have viewed it every day. I can honestly say that I haven't even watched Summerslam '97, Wrestlemania 17, Wrestlemania 10, or Final Four In Your House that much. Time to stop boring you with my opinions on business, so now to the real Shizzz:

The Matches:

Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Kurt Angle
This was the best ppv opener since Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart in '94. Kurt Angle really made you want to hate him for picking on such a small guy, and Rey-Rey made you stick behind him all the way. Some great spots and good technical wrestling make this the best high-flying match of the year. 5 out of 5

Ric Flair vs. Chris Jericho
With too little and too poor build up, this match was not expected to be all that great. Suffice to say, we expected correctly. The match was great, though, for a simple technical-chop-fest. Ric Flair is getting too old, and Chris Jericho just doesn't seem to care, but when he is facing such a legend he seems to be a little bit interested. 3 out of 5

Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero
As far as sheer wrestling goes, the best match of the night. This fabulous psychological warfare would be THE match of the night if the croud were into it more. Eddie Guerrero follows up his string of great matches with possibly his best all year {close to Eddie vs. Edge no holds barred(smackdown) and RVD vs. Eddie ladder{Raw}) This match only starts a fued that would last 4 one on one 5 star matches. Edge IS the future of the WWE, but the future is when Eddie dies. 5 out of 5

Lance Storm & Christian vs. Booker and Goldy
Great match for a tag match. The work-rate of Lance Storm is unbelievable. The heat was on the un-Americans as they continue their rediculously cliched gimmick. Booker T.(to quote a fellow reviewer) being "taught another lesson"(c'mon WWE, this guy's gold!) 3 1/2 out of 5

Chris Benoit vs. RVD, IC title
An all around great match with fabulous high-flying and techniical reversals. Chris Benoit never lets you down in a ppv invironment and neither does RVD. You have to see it to believe it. This match is many people's favorite on the disk, but i have to stick with Eddie vs. Edge. 5 out of 5

Undertaker vs. Test
Undertaker had a great heel run as champion just a few months before this event. And now he's facing Test? WTF? No offense to Test but Undertaker deserves a more over opponent. Match has it's moments, but the best moment is Undertaker holding up the American flag(almost lifts it up-side-down) after beating Test. Who the heck thought to put a freakin' arm bar from Test half-way through the match? Jeez... 2 out of 5

Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H
The croud was HOT for this match. whew!!! What a great emotional rollercoaster! This match isn't so great for it's in-ring action(oh, but there is some great action!) but for the crowd interraction. The crowd was behind Michaels as he fought against all odds to wrestle "one last time"(bull...) and the fans in Ney York were against HHH as he tried to "Cripple Shawn's [behind]." Some of the best high-spots in a few years and the most memorable moment of the night(Shawn pulling out the ladder as the crowd goes absolutely NUTS!) Out-of-nowhere finish reminded me of Shawn's classis title defenses in '96. 5 out of 5

Brock Lesnar vs. The Rock, Undisputed Title
Despite some early bumps by Lesnar, these two put on a quality match which saw....The Rock get booed for the first time in ... a few weeks. He had been booed while facing Ric Flair on Raw, and at Wrestlemania against Hogan(stupid fans.) Lesnar should have been the face going into this match, but i guess it wouldn't have been good for business, right? Well let's all not forget to boo him when he comes back for Wrestlemania 19, because he put on one of his most emtertaining performances in years. You could see those heel like tendencies that made him the best bad guy ever in '98 and'99 in this match. Lesnar is a very promising young star, but you know who is a better rookie? Christopher Nowinski. With all this build up, I was expecting a flashback of Wrestlemania 15(shuddeer) but instead got a match as good, if not better than the main event at Wrestlemania 17.
4 1/2 out of 5

Extras:
hmmm, there were extras? Just kidding, these extras were alright but not any reason to buy the DVD over the VHS alone. Shawn Michaels on Byte This is funny to watch 4 months after the match. I absolutely love the training videos of Lesnar and the Rock, The post match interviews kinda, well, ya know...like a vacuum.You can tell the wrestlers are too tired to think, and just wanna go home. grade: 2 out of 5

Final Analysis:
You must buy this DVD if you consider yourself a true wrestling fan, even if you quit watching the WWE. It's sure as heck better than any WCW, NWA/TNA, or most ECW ppvs. This one will be viewed many more times, for until I stop watching wrestling.

P.S.
God Bless Owen Hart.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Another bungled PPV from WWE
Review: I honestly can't work out why this PPV has gotten such glowing reviews. The whole thing is one long, dated, predictable bore. Whether it's Undertaker squashing Test, Brock lesnar's heatless push reaching its climax, or Booker T being "taught a lesson" yet again, this whole show was just another nail in the coffin of good professional wrestling. Recommend avoiding this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best summerslams out there
Review: This has got to be one of the best summerslams out there I mean HBK vs. HHH nonsanctioned anything goes this goes down on my list as match of the year!The Rock vs. brock match was goo d too although i feel it was overhyped a bit

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a great PPV
Review: Summerslam 2002 was one of the great PPV's that WWE put on this year. I had three favorite matches from this DVD. Chris Benoint vs RVD, Shawn Michaels vs HHH in non-sanctioned match, and The Rock vs Brock title match. The only reason Rock was booed out of the building was because he was heading to hollywood to do movies. The HBK vs HHH match will definetly be a match of the year candidate and even maybe be the match of the year. There were some other matches but didnt compare to those three especially Jericho vs Flair. Why would they even put Flair against young talent like Jericho. That is way beyond me but other than that this PPV is definetly a buy on DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Summerslam, but not the greatest
Review: Summerslam is my favorite PPV of the summer! Right now the WWE has put out some really lame PPVs in 2002. Such as Wrestlemania X8 and King of the Ring. But now the WWE PPVs have gotten back on track, thanks to Summerslam 2002! I gave my reviews on the matches down below.

Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio
Great opener with a ton of high flying moves from Rey. Angle did a great job with this match also.

Chris Jericho vs. Ric Flair
Okay match with a lot of knife edge chops to the chest from both men. I still think that Flair needs to retire, he usually makes his matches long and boring.

Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero
This match started out fast paced, but when Edge injured his arm the match got boring.

WWE Tag Team Championship
Lance Storm & Christian vs. Booker T. & Goldust
Okay tag team match. I couldn't figure out why Lance and Christian where at this PPV. Why was Lance at Summerslam and not at Wrestlemania!? To me Christian and Lance are pathetic wrestlers who don't deserve to be at WWE PPVs. Booker and Goldust saved this match from getting a bad review, even though they lost.

WWE Intercontinental Championship
RVD vs. Chris Benoit
Pretty boring. RVD was really good in this match, but Benoit made the match boring with his Crippler Crossface adn other boring submission moves.

Test vs. Undertaker
Why was Test at this PPV!? Test is also a small star who dosen't deserve to be in WWE PPVs. A lot of people said that this match was slow, but to me this was a fast match with great action. Towards the end of the match the action was even greater.

Non-Sanctioned match
Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels
GREATEST MATCH OF THE WHOLE NIGHT! Forget the Hogan vs. Rock match at Wrestlemania, this match between HBK and HHH was 100 times better than then the pathetic match between Rock and Hogan at Wrestlemania! At first I was dissappointed of this PPV because it didn't have no TLC matches, but I was wrong! HBK and HHH put on a great performance with tables, ladders, and chairs!

WWE Undisputed Championship
Rock vs. Brock Lesnar
Great match, but a little bit short. This was a good match, but the crowds reaction on the Rock ruined the match. I couldn't understand why everyone hated the Rock, knowing that he was the babyface in this match. This was a short and decent match, but Paul Heyman getting rock bottom through the announcers table was pathetic.

Overall this was a good Summerslam, even though some of the matches where boring. I suggest you get this on VHS or DVD, along with Summerslam 2000 and 2001.
