Summary: The 5 Stars Go To Kurt Angle Vs Shane
Review: I was really hyped up for this PPV, really looking forward to the DDP - Undertaker match, which was a real dissapointment. It wasn't even a match and the way it ended left you thinking somthin else was goin ta happen. The King of the Ring tournament was alright. I think it would of been alot better if they had Kurt be the 1st to repeat the Crown. The 3-way match for the WWF title: Y2J, Benoit, & Stone Cold cannot wrestle 3:16 could of been better. The only reason why im gettin this DVD is for the Kurt Angle Vs Shane, Its a must see. I would have to say that this match is a classic and that it is one of or is the best match of the year. For those who have seen this PPV do not have ta agree with my opinion. Like I said the Angle Vs Shane is a must see. So swoop, smoke 4:20, & watch WWF all day. One Mo Gin Fa Tha BloCK.

Summary: disappointing ppv
Review: it wasnt the great ppv we thought it was , despite the stupid taker/ddp confrontation there were only seven matches ,the tag team title match and the light heavy weight title match were all boring ,nearly all the tournament matches were controversial , the austin/benoit/y2j wasnt great comparing to the build up to the match ,and although i am not an austin fan but the wwf made austin very weak in that match ,the only good match was angle vs shane and i only give the ppv two stars because that is what it deserves.

Summary: Amazing Street Fight!
Review: King of the Ring 2001 was almost a disappointing PPV, but it is saved by an amazing Street Fight. If it wasn't for this match I probably would have only given this DVD a 2.5. KOTR was held in June 2001 at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutheford, New Jersey. I will reveiew and rank the matches. The matches are based out of ten points 1. KURT ANGLE (VS) CHRISTIAN (KOTR SEMIFINAL)
Very good opening match. The crowd was really into this match. This was kind of interesting because both of these competitors were heels. This was Kurt Angle's first out of three matches of the night. Christian nails Angle with the Unprettier, but Shane McMahon, Angle's opponent in the Street Fight, saves him. Angle wins with the Angle Slam. Good version of the Angle Slam (over the top rope). Good match. (8/10)
2. EDGE (VS) RHYNO (KOTR SEMIFINAL)
Once again this match featured two heels. Kind of a disappointing match. It could have been much better. There is a Double Spear in this match. Pretty cool. Edge wins it with the Edgecution. (6/10)
3. DUDLEY'S (VS) SPIKE & KANE (TAG TITLE)
Kane was Spike's surprise partner for this match. This match was ok. There was nothing special in this match. But, mildly entertaining. Bubba Ray Dudley pins Spike to retain the titles. (7/10)
4. EDGE (VS) KURT ANGLE (KOTR FINAL)
Decent match, but it could have been a lot better. These two would go onto have some amazing matches in 2002. Angle looks like he is going to win, but Shane McMahon attacks Angle. Edge gets the win to become the 2001 King of the Ring. (7/10)
5. JEFF HARDY (VS) X-PAC (CRUISERWEIGHT)
Once again this match could have been a lot better than it was (apparently this was the theme of the show). Fast paced match with some decent moves. Jeff wins to retain the title. (7/10)
6. UNDERTAKER CONFRONTS DDP
I don't really know why they didn't make this an offical match. I guess you can call it an "Unsactioned Match." Undertaker beats DDP to a pulp. I guess the Undertaker wins. (6/10)
7. KURT ANGLE (VS) SHANE McMAHON (STREET FIGHT)
Absolutely amazing match. This match was very technical and then it turned into an all out brawl. Good spot early on when Shane accidently connects with a punch to Angle's head. There are so many great spots and bumps in this match. The ref, Mike Ciota, even gets hit with a Kendo Stick by accident in this match. Shane misses on a Shooting Star Press and lands on a trash can. Angle and McMahon fight up the walkway. Shane delivers a snap-suplex on Angle on the floor. Kurt gets hurt pretty bad (You can find this out in the extras). Kurt tries to give Shane a Belly to Belly Suplex through a glass wall, but it doesn't break and Shane's head hits the floor first. Angle finally gets Shane through. Amazing. Glass goes everywhere. Kurt tries two more times to McMahon through the other side, but the glass doesn't break. Finally, Kurt just launches him through. They get back to the ring. Both guys are bleeding pretty bad. Good finish with a lot of close falls. This match ends with one of the best versions of a finisher you will ever see. Kurt slingshots Shane on to the top rope and puts a board up there. Kurt the Angle Slam's Shane off the top rope. This move looks amazing. The crowd goes completely crazy. Angle gets the pin after this. Standing ovation for Shane after the match. (10/10)
8. STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN (VS) CHRIS BENOIT (VS) CHRIS JERICHO (WWE TITLE)
This match was kind of slow, but it was still good. There is one point where Austin is locked in the Walls of Jericho and Crippler Crossface at the same time. He taps, but the match continues because there has to be a clear cut winner. Booker T surprises everybody by attacking Austin in this match and putting him through an announcer's table (The Invasion would begin the next night on RAW). Austin wins after giving Benoit a Super Plex and pinning him to retain the title. This is where Benoit hurts his neck. (8/10) EXTRAS
There is commentary by Angle & McMahon about the Street Fight. From this we learn how hurt both guys were during this match. Overall, a decent PPV. Booker T's appearance was pretty significant because it was the start of the invasion by the Alliance. Angle and McMahon's match was up there with match of the year. I think it was second, only using out to Rock and Austin at Wrestlemania, but beating out TLC II. This was one the most brutal matches you will ever see just because of how hurt both guys were during the match. I recommend this DVD for this match alone.

Summary: King of the Ring 2001, now that's a ppv!
Review: King of the Ring 2001 was an amazing event that ranks high as one of the greatest ppvs within the last 5 years. The WWF pulls it off with interference from WCW's Booker T in the excellent Triple Threat title match, an rare brutal street fight, and an equally interesting tournament this year. I was shocked to see Edge win the competition, since rumors had been going around that Kurt Angle was to repeat his KOTR victory. If you want my honest opinion, this is a must for any wrestling collection. I recommend you buy this off of Amazon.com immediately! It was truly a spectacular ppv! Here are the matches: KING OF THE RING SEMI-FINALS: Kurt Angle vs. Christian KING OF THE RING SEMI-FINALS: Rhyno vs. Edge TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: Dudley Boyz vs. Spike Dudley & Kane KING OF THE RING FINALS: Kurt Angle vs. Edge LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: Jeff Hardy vs. X-Pac CONFRONTATION: The Undertaker & Diamond Dallas Page STREET FIGHT: Shane McMahon vs. Kurt Angle WWF CHAMPIONSHIP: Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin

Summary: King of the Ring THE SEQUEL
Review: King Of The Ring 2001 was just one sunday before i rented this video at Video Update. i got it because i thought it could show me how the upcoming King Of The Ring would be like. it had a great main event where Stone Cold faced Vince and Shane McMahon. it was a unique ladder match because in the entryway there was tons of stacked ladders. and it really got the crowd going when Stone Cold rammed Vince and Shane through them one by one. And when they all fell down on Vince and Shane was amazing. but other highlights of King Of The Ring were like when Edge countered the poetry in motion by the Hardy Boyz and reversed it to a Spear. even though the hardyz won the match Edge and Christian were the amazingest.

Summary: June 2001 Continental Airlines Arena East Rutheford, NJ
Review: King of the Ring 2001 went from an ok PPV to a good PPV because of one great, amazing match.
1. Kurt Angle vs. Christian (King of the Ring Semifinal)
The first of Kurt's three matches of the night. Good opener. The crowd was really into it from the start. Interesting to see two heels wrestle. The other two King of the Ring matches involved two heels. Good match. (8.5/10)
2. Edge vs. Rhyno (King of the ring Semifinal)
Good match. Nothing too exciting. Good spot with the double spear attempt. (8/10)
3. Dudley Boys vs. Spike Dudley & Kane (WWF Tag Team Championship)
Again nothing too exciting. Typical Dudley's tag match. The addition of Kane brough something a little extra too the match because he was a surprise partner. (7.5/10)
4. Kurt Angle vs. Edge (King of the Ring Final)
Good match, although these two would later go on to have some classics. Interference by Shane McMahon was pretty exciting. (8/10)
5. Jeff Hardy vs. X-Pac (Lightweight Title)
What could have been a great match was slow, boring, and very choppy. They just didn't work good together. (6/10)
6. Undertaker vs. DDP
This was actually not a match, just a confrontation that turned into a fight. Basically, the Undertaker just whipped DDP from pillar to post.
7. Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon (Street Fight)
Angle's third match of the night. Amazing match. One of the best I have ever seen. Shane, as well as Angle, put themselves through hell. There are some amazing high spots in this match. Watch for the Angle Slam off the board on the top rope. Watch the kid in the light blue shirt in the backgroud chanting after the move. He makes the move more exciting. (10/10)
8. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit (WWF Title/Triple Threat)
Okay match. I think these three could have put on a much better match. Pretty exciting sequence with the Crossface and Walls of Jericho at the same time. History happened in this match as Booker T interfered and the WCW/ECW invasion began. This is also the match in which Chris Benoit hurt his neck. (8/10)
Good extra feature with the opinions of Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon on the Street Fight.
Overall Rating: 8/10

Summary: Very Good PPV put out by WWF
Review: King of the Ring is usually a dull pay-per-view because there is no buildup to the King of the Ring Tournament matches on they take up space on the card but KOR 2001 really was a pretty decent pay-per-view put out by the WWF. Kurt Angle vs. Christian-Great opening match. Christian is really underrated
Edge vs. Rhyno-I didn't have much interest in this match, it was boring and I think Rhyno is nothing but a hardcore wrestler
Dudley Boyz vs. Spike Dudley and Mystery Partner-No interest in this match either. A pretty boring tag match. The Dudleyz are overrated
Kurt Angle vs. Edge-Good talent in the ring, match could have been better but it was pretty good
Jeff Hardy vs. X-Pac-Both these guys are great wrestlers but the match could have been 10 times better than it was
Undertaker confronts DDP-Undertaker destroys DDP, decent segment
Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon-UNBELIEVEABLE! Without a doubt the best match on the card and one of the best street fights I've ever seen. UNBELIEVABLE!
Steve Austin vs. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit- Slow to start out but once it gets going its a damn good match and ths starts the WCW Invasion. Good PPV with a solid card from top to bottom. King of the Ring 2001 I would reccommend if you are in for a good match like Angle vs. McMahon and the Triple Threat for the Title.

Summary: Kurt Angle Alone Makes This Great!
Review: King of the Ring Semi-Finals
Kurt Angle vs. Christian
Very good way to start things off. Fast pace and good technical wrestling.
Edge vs. Rhyno
So-so. Edge has come a long way since this one. Nothing special but not that bad either.
Tag Team Championship
Dudley Boyz vs. Spike Dudley & Kane
Not that good at all. Two big blown spots by D-Von really killed this.
Lightheavyweight Championship
Jeff Hardy vs. X-Pac
Pretty good match. Not as bad as people say.
Undertaker/DDP
Not a match just an "encounter". I'm not sure why they didn't just have a match. Taker just beats on DDP.
Street Fight
Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon
WOW!!! In perhaps the greatest street fight ever these guys really put their bodies on the line. This match has everything, wrestling, brawling, and high flying. Some of the sickest bumps this side of Mick Foley. Just amazing!!
Triple Threat Match for the WWF Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho
Very long but also very good match. They were finally giving new people a chance to main event. This is the match that put Benoit on shelf for a year. Great match.
