Summary: Bring back The Rock!
Review: A very good PPV event. Worth buying. Here are the matches and my ratings of them: (out of 5 stars)
1) Kurt Angle v Ray Mysterio - A very good match, not great. Alot of quick hitting moves from Ray and submission moves from Kurt. I've got to hand it to Ray. He doesn't back down from anybody. Kurt has his hands full. A good technical match that should have been longer. rating - ****
2) Chris Jericho v. Ric Flair - I liked this match. "The Nature Boy" looks fantastic! A nice old school match with hard hitting shots. The right person wins this match.
rating - ***1/2
3) Edge v Eddie Guerrero - A great match. Alot of technical moves and submission holds. Very physical. The wrong person wins though. rating - *****
4) Chris Benoit v RVD (Intercontinental Title Match)- A very good match. Two great wrestlers go at it. Benoit uses all his moves. RVD is relegated to leg kicks and flips. The wrong person wins. rating - ****
5) The Un-Americans v Booker T & Goldust (World Tagteam Title Match) - A good match with some nice moves. What THE HELL is Dustin Rhodes doing? Goldust? PLEASE! Dusty Rhodes needs to have a talk with his boy. Dustin is a great wrestler who can throw-down with ANYONE. Why is he acting like a S&M alien? He has too much talent to be wasted like this. A shame. Anyway, Dustin shows some great technical moves while getting beatup. The right team wins. rating - *** (would be higher if not for the exruciating commentary by "The King" and Jim Ross)
6) The Undertaker (AKA - American Badass) v Test - A good match. Some nice hard hitting action. Test is a very good wrestler who should get more recognition. The wrong man wins this. It was a good piece of propaganda (if you can somehow stomach the nausiating verbage from Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross. I can't........ PUUUUUUKE) rating - *** (Again would be higher but Lawler and Ross ruin it with their inane talk)
7) Shawn Michaels v HHH - The return of Shawn Michaels after a 4 year absence. A very good match. Does Shawn bleed at EVERY freakin' match or what? A great hardcore match with great aerial moves and blood flows freely. Check the ending.
rating ****1/2
8) The Rock v Brock Lesnar (World Champion Match) - A fantastic match. THE match of the night, but not long enough. The crowd is split between Rock (30%)and Brock (70%), which adds excitement to the match. The Rock knows how to put on a show. He is ALWAYS fun to watch. Some great moves. The wrong guy wins. rating - *****
An extra match with Brock and Hogan is also on here. This is real fun to watch as the fans are really pulling for Hogan. The king is dead! Long live the king!
Overall a very good night worth owning. Buy it if you can

Summary: Best PPV of 2002
Review: Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio
What a way to get started! Fantastic match. Not a single boring spot to be found here. Two professionals doing what they do best.
Chris Jericho vs. Ric Flair
Also could've been the opener. Great match. Only thing stopping this was an abrupt finish.
Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero
Again, a very good match. Nothing bad to report on this. Good ring psychology too.
Intercontinental Championship
Chris Benoit vs. Rob Van Dam
A dream match! Contrasting styles that blended perfectly. I really hope these have another someday.
Tag Team Championship
The Un-Americans vs. Booker T & Goldust
I'm glad the un-americans angle was scrapped quickly. Very poor taste since it wasn't even a year after 9/11. As for the match, very good with the crowd really getting involved.
Undertaker vs. Test
A lot of people said this was boring. No way. Good big man match. Taker never really gets respect.
Non-Sanctioned Match
Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H
First meeting between these two. HBK takes a serious beating in this! It almost looks real. Match of the year. Amazing!
Undisputed Championship
The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar
I can't believe the crowd booed the people's champ! Just plain stupid. Shows what they know since Brock screwed all the fans 2 years later. Match felt rushed but was great. Even after following a classic it holds up very well. Still waiting for that rematch.

Summary: this dvd has of the best hbk matches of all time
Review: 40-50 Horrible PPV
51-60 Decent PPV
61-70 Great PPV
71-80 Memorible PPV
81-up Classic PPV
Kurt Angle v. Rey Mysterio
This was a great way to kick off the last combined brand PPV. Rey confuses Angle te whole match then Kurt locks on the Ankle Lock and makes Mysterio tap out. 10/10
Ric Flair v. Chris Jericho
This was another great match. Jericho and Flair make for a great rivalry. Y2J wins nerly every PPV match he's in. Another win to the book. 9/10
Edge v. Eddie Guerrero
Edge and Eddie can put on a great show at anytime. Edge continues to dominate Eddie. 8/10
Lance Storm & Christian v. Booker T & Goldust World Tag Titles
This was another great match. Test & Regal lower it though. Booker puts on a great show but the Un-Americans retain. 8/10
Chris Benoit v. RVD IC Title
This was a great high-flying match. Benoit puts Rvd in a lot of Sumbission holds but RVD reverses the Crossface and hits a Froggie to win the IC Title. 9/10
The Undertaker v. Test
This is the first bad match of the night. Test & Taker are leftovers from that whole American/ Un-American thing. Taker gives the Americans and win. 2/10
Triple H v. Shawn Michaels Street Fight
Shawn's return is awesome!! HBK does an incredible job of kicking the Hell out of Triple H. Match of the Year without a doubt. HBK wins in his retun. 10/10
The Rock v. Brock Lesnar World Title
This match was quick. It should have lasted longer but that's okay because in the time they were given it was okay. Brock regains the World Title. 8/10
This PPV is a 80. Even though it came up short I'll call it a classic. Get this DVD even if your poor.

Summary: Brock Lesnar v. The Rock
Review: Kurt Angle v. Rey Mysterio
Great match. Rey Mysterio is a great wrestler and he deservedto win but they let Kurt win.****1/2
Ric Flair v. Chris Jericho
This was a great match like their match at No Mercy. Y2J wins again.*****
Edge v. Eddie Guerrero
This match was really horrible. Don't even watch this match. Go to the next chapter. Edge wins and who cares.3/4*
The Un-Americans v. Booker T & Goldust World Tag Titles
Okay this was a decent match. How in the world did the Un-Americans retain though? Booker & Goldy should have won.***
Chris Benoit v. Rob Van Dam IC Title
Benoit & RVD put on a great show. RVD fights so hard and finally regained the IC Title.*****
The Undertaker v. Test
This match didn't have much build-up. Taker just beats the monkey out of Test.**
Triple H v. Shawn Michaels Hardcore Match
Another classic between HHH & HBK. Shawn returns and beats HHH with a roll-up off the top of the Ladder.*****
The Rock v. Brock Lesnar World Title
Way too short. They should have made this match a little bit longer. Brock regains the title and then the brands split.***

Summary: August 2002 - Nassau Coliseum - Long Island, NY
Review: Summerslam 2002 was a great effort by all involved with the WWE. It was probably the best PPV of 2002.
1. Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio
Great way to kick off the show. This was Mysterio's first PPV match in the WWE. Unbelievable match. It is a mix of styles between these two, but if anyone can adapt to another's style, its Angle and Mysterio. There are a lot of near falls and reversals in this match. The crowd was really into the match. Watch Mysterio flip over the ref and nail Angle with on the outside floor. Second best opening match of a PPV of 2002. (9/10)
2. Chris Jericho vs. Ric Flair
This match was a bit of a letdown. These two developed quite the fued on RAW, but the match did not live up to its expectations. This should have been a no DQ or cage match. (7/10)
3. Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero
This match was not thrown together until the previous week on Smackdown. Okay match, but they needed a little more time to build up the fued. The two would go onto to have a great match at Unforgiven and Smackdown. (7.5/10)
4. Lance Storm & Christian vs. Goldust & Booker T (World Tag Titles)
Again, this was another great fued. The Un-Americans angle came off pretty good. Good effort by all four men. Test and William Regal both make appearances in the match. Good spot with Booker T double scissor kicking Christian and Strom. (8/10)
5. Chris Benoit vs. Rob Van Dam (Intercontinental Title/Interpromotional Match)
Technical classic between these two men. I was not sure if RVD could put on a good technical match, but he did. The two worked well together. The end is a bit of a surprise. (8.5/10)
6. Test vs. Undertaker
Very good match. The match was one of Test's better matches in a long time. There are a lot of near falls in the match. Storm and Christian make appearances. (8.5/10)
7. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H (Non-Sanctioned)
This match was in essence a street fight. It was Michaels first match in the WWE in 4 years. He did not lose a step. A lot of credit has to be given to Triple H becuase he put on a great show as well. He was so evil in the match. There is a lot of blood and high spots in the match. Tables, ladders, and chairs are all used throughout the course of the match. One of the better matches in the last couple of years. In my opinion it was the number two match of the year, only behind Rock and Hogan from Wrestlemania 18. (10/10)
8. The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar (Undisputed Title)
At this point I was not a huge fan of Lesnar. I did not think he could put on a good match, especially having to follow the match ahead of him. But, I was wrong. Rock and Lesnar put on a heck of a match. There are great reversals and many near falls in the match. Good spot when The Rock, Rock Bottoms Heyman through the announce table. A lot of the crowd booed The Rock throughout the match. Great Summerslam main event. (9/10)
I recommend this DVD be added to your collection. All of the matches are worthwhile, except for Flair and Jericho. The match between Triple H and Michaels in one of the better ones you will see in a while.
Overall Rating: 9/10

Summary: A good ppv but the main event was a joke
Review: I am not talking about HBK's return, but the main title match between the Rock and Brock Lesnar. The supposedly Next Big Thing dropped wrestling and went to play football, which in my mind wont have much luck in that. But besides the bad main event the rest of the card had a lot of solid matches and the legendary return match of HBK......
Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio: This was a fast paced and excellent opener. Lots of high moves by Rey, and good ground based wrestling by Kurt. The crowd was really into this one and it started off the ppv to a great start. 9/10
Chris Jericho vs. Ric Flair: Another good match but not as good as the opener. It was the Walls of Jericho vs. The Figure Four Leg Lock. The crowd quieted down in this one, but it was a decent paced match between these two. 7.5/10
Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero: This was an okay match, but the one they had on Smackdown was a lot better. This was still good and the crowd was into this match enough. 8/10
The Un-Americans vs. Booker T and Goldust: Dont watch this unless you were or still are a Un-American fan. A screwjob here but at least Booker T and Goldust win four months later. 6/10
Chris Benoit vs. RVD: A better match than what I thought. Lots of mat wrestling and some good moves by both men. This match was to see if the intercontinental title would go to Smackdown or Raw. A good mid-card match. 9/10
The Undertaker vs. Test: At least the Undertaker won, but this was still a little slow. The other Un-Americans tried to interfere but The Undertaker fights back and pulls out the win. An okay match. 7.5/10
HBK vs. HHH: The best match of the night and a match of the year candidate. HBK returns for one night only, at least that was what people thought, and fights his former best friend, HHH, in a Non Sactioned Street Fight. A lot of weapons and blood was in this one. Chairs, Steel Steps, a belt, a table, a ladder, trashcans, and even a shoe was used in this one. HHH dominated this match from the beginning, but HBK fought back and after he kicked a chair in HHH's face, that was when the match really got good. An excellent match. 10/10
The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar: This should not have been the main event, let alone a match at all. The Rock leaves the night after this and loses the title to a rookie who won it just because he has shoulder muscles up to his ears. Paul Heyman was annoying in this match, and even though got Rock Bottomed through the announce table, this was still a bad match. 7.5/10
Summerslam 2002 is great just for three matches, including the HBK/HHH match. The rest go from semi-okay to bad. Still, you should definately watch this for the real main event.
