Summary: eh....
Review: This wasn't a bad PPV....It was well....Mediocer

I luckily had a friend tape this for me and I checked it out.
I wasn't very big one the matches except for
UNDERTAKER VS AUSTIN For the wwe championship.

Sadly the dead man didn't get there. But hey!!! I was rooting for taker since he is my favorite wwe wrestler.

Even though he didn't win the title atleast he won the wwe championship at the next Judgment Day. Wierd coincedence hu?

HHH VS Kane in a chain match wasn't the best KANE/HHH MATCH I've ever seen.

These men have had lots and lots of battles together.

There best would have to be the one on RAW when it was HHH/Kane for Wwe championship and if kane had lost he would have had to take off his mask.

Kane won but Undertaker didn't, so I would have to say I was disapointed with this PPV. I'm not going to review the rest of the matches But I will say they were pretty good.

I give this a 3.2 out of 5.

later...

Summary: Judgment Day 2001: Could of been better.
Review: This years Judgment Day could have been better with the talent available. Lots of matches didn't have a high excitment level or left some wondering 'what?' with weird endings. Well, at least the DVD features are cool.

The DVD extras include 5 extra (or 'heat') interviews. These include William Regal, Mr. McMahon, Jericho, Guerrero, and Benoit. The interviews were good. It also includes 4 match hitories and were nicely put together. Got to love Benoit putting Angle's medals in a 'nice, warm place'.

The best DVD extra is a funny event on the next night on RAW. It involves Angle and Shane McMahon and sets up their match at King Of The Ring.

Here are the matches:

1) Rikishi vs. Commissioner Regal: Good match but ended was pretty quick. Good fan excitement though. 3.5 stars out of 5.

2) Angle vs. Benoit: Medal match 2-out-of-3 falls. I was hoping it would be like three good length matches in one. No such luck. The first fall (pinfalls only) was pretty quick and almost pointless. The next fall was better with submissions only to win. The match did go to a third fall, a ladder match. Nice stuff with the ladder. Watch out for the suplex on a ladder. 4 stars.

3) Rhyno vs. Big Show vs. Test: Hardcore champ match. Nice hardcore stuff but seemed underpaced not as exciting as usual. Hardcore matches are better one-on-one. 3 stars.

4) Chyna vs. Lita: Women's Champ match. Best darn women's match I've seen ever. Fun, exciting and each lady reached a new level. 4.5 stars.

5) Triple H vs. Kane: Chain Intercontinental champ match. Nice stuff with the chain. More exciting then I thought. I like the showing of Kane being human. Don't like the unclean ending. 4 stars.

6) Tag Team Turmoil: 7 teams eliminated by pinfall. 2 teams start out (APA vs. Radicalz). The first match were kind of short, which made sense because they need to fit all 7 teams are still make the ending nice. Still wish some of them were longer. Other teams include Dudleys, X-Factor, Hardyz, E & C, and Jericho and. . .can't spoil it for ya. The last match in this was good. 4 stars.

7) Austin vs. 'Taker: WWF Champ match No Holds Barred. Nice not great. Lots of hardcore stuff but didn't seem very brutal. Ending looked liek it wasn't timed well. 3.5 stars.

I use the word 'nice' alot. It was a nice ppv. Unfortunately for +20.00 bucks, you want 'excellent' and 'exciting'. Too bad. Benoit vs. Angle could have been great. Austin vs. 'Taker could have been brutal as No Way Out's 3 stages of Hell.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Judgment Day 2001 was good. . .But could have been better
Review: Well, I just finished watching Judgment Day 2001. It was a nice PPV and I'm glad that I bought it. However, something was missing from it. Most WWF PPVs that I like seem to have a feeling of entertainment. I always feel entertained and left wanting to watching it again and again. With Judgment Day, I felt not fully entertained. It was almost like an extremely special RAW or Smackdown! then an actual PPV. Many of the matches were good some even great, but left you saying 'that's it?' I can forgive that for a RAW or Smackdown! but not for a WWF PPV. It did have some nice extras, though.

The best extra is the full, uncut, and unbelievably funny RAW segment. It involves Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon the very next night. I think it's one of the funniest and entertaining segment in RAW or Smackdown! It also nice to hear Shane McMahon's new intro song ('Here Comes The Money') for the first time on TV. The DVD also has some interviews before the event at the show 'Sunday Night Heat'. It also includes the highlight videos that show why some of these matches occurred at Judgment Day. Here are the PPV matches and quick thoughts about each.

1) Rikishi vs. Commissioner William Regal: A good match but just when I thought that match was going to continue and a nice move, it ended. The ending made the match shorter then it should of and hurt the match's entertainment level.

2) Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle: 2 out of 3 falls match with the 1st being a pin fall only match, the 2nd being a submission match and the final match if needed a ladder match with the Angle's Medal on the line. Nice match but the 1st fall was so short. It was hoping it would be like three matches in one.

3) Rhyno vs. Big Show vs. Test: Hardcore championship that was only slightly hardcore. Most of these matches at PPV have something big happen that really hardcore. This didn't. The finish was cool but something I thought I could see on TV.

4) Chyna vs. Lita: A Women's Championship match that I actually liked. Why? Because it actually had good wrestling. It was fun and exciting and something I didn't think I would see because of Chyna's history.

5) Kane vs. Triple H: A chain match for the Intercontinental belt. This is a good match to see. Fun and exciting and some nice moves with the chain. I felt after entertained after this match and it deserved the finish it had.

6) Tag Team Turmoil: This is an elimination match with a tag team format. Two teams start (APA and Radicalz) and then when one is defeated another team comes in (Either the Dudleyz, X-Factor, Hardyz, Jericho & Mystery Partner, and E & C) until it's over. Nice match but seemed short for having seven teams.

7) Steve Austin vs. Undertaker: No-Holds-Barred for WWF Championship. Nice match that was more hardcore then the hardcore match earlier in the PPV. Ending was nice and served a good point. The matched showed Austin's change in personality and Undertaker's ability to still win the belt and have good matches.

Once again, a good PPV but four matches felt like a TV match, which I could watch for 'free' then a PPV match that I have to pay for.

Summary: Judgment Day makes up for lacluster Backlash....
Review: Well, Judgment Day in a lot of people's minds was a dissappointment, but I disagree. Backlash, that was dissappointing, but at the same time, it was also expected to flop. This wasn't expected to be that great, but it was. The Triple H/Kane match was great. Intense, with great crowd support and the crowd went nuts when Kane got the win. It was a brutal match too, which helps. The main event was your basic Taker/Austin match. Pretty much the same as any other one they've had. Summerslam 1998, Over the Edge 1999. This was similar, thus, good. The Two out of Three Falls match with Angle and Benoit was the best match, next to HHH/Kane on the whole card. This did not let anyone down and was very well done by both men. Lita and Chyna was unexpectingly good, as was Tag Team Turmoil. Except for the fact that X-Factor stayed in too long. I hate them! Anyway, I advise you to buy this video for sure. It's good.

Rating: 5 stars

Rikishi giving WWF Commissioner William Regal the "Stink Face", Chyna holding onto the WWF Women's Championship, Kurt Angle winning his medals back, Kane winning the WWF Intercontinental Championship, Stone Cold keeping the WWF Championship, Jericho & Benoit winning Tag Team Termoil and Rhyno keeping the WWF Hardcore Championship. Super PPV, BUY IT NOW!!

Summary: "some good matches that are worth watching at least once"
Review: WWF Judgement Day 2001 contains a series of good stipulation matches that should keep you quite entertained pretty much threw out the show. Below is a review of all the matches, the overall extra features and the overall DVD, hopefully it will help you decide if you should buy this DVD or not. The review will not directly give away who wins any of the matches but the winner may seem pretty obvious by my explanations of the matches. Let me also warn you that the mystery partner for the Tag Team Turmoil Match will be revealed.

( Match Reviews )

--- Rikishi Vs William Regal ---

All though the pace during this match was good the action seemed pretty lame, I believe this match to be the opener just so the crowd could warm up by cheering for the stink face. Bad finish for an overall bad opener. (3/10)

--- Two-Out-of-Three Falls Medal Match - Chris Benoit Vs Kurt Angle ---

The action in the match picked up almost instantly as the first fall came and went very quickly, the second fall contained some good counter wrestling at a good pace but nothing compared to there many other battles. The third fall contained nothing innovative or crazy when you compare it to other ladder matches however it was still good and quite exciting at times. Still almost the entire match was very entertaining and went on at a pretty good pace, the ending is very bad to a otherwise very good match. (7.5/10)

--- Triple-Threat Hardcore Title Match - Rhyno Vs Big Show Vs Test ---

This was an slightly above average hardcore match that went around the arena and fortunately did not have any interference's. The match was not very hardcore and contained nothing breathtaking, but it was solid and contained some close pin falls. (6.5/10)

--- WWF Women's Championship Match - Chyna Vs Lita ---

This was hard-hitting for a women's match, Chyna's boob almost slipped a few times which interfered with the way she wrestled, the close boob slip will also distract most if not all viewers from the actual match. I believe the wrong person won but still it was good for a WWE women's match. (6/10)

--- WWF Intercontinental Title Chain Match - Triple H Vs Kane ---

This was a very good match with some hard hitting action and a very good use of the chain, the crowd was well into the end of this match as it was very exciting to watch. Kane did not duck Austin's Interference chair shot yet Austin still hit Triple which made no sense, Its all right though, this match gave me and will probably give you more then you expect. (7/10)

--- Tag Team Turmoil Match to Determine the #1 Contenders for The Tag Team Titles - A.P.A Vs Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit Vs The Dudley Boyz Vs Edge and Christian Vs The Hardy Boyz Vs The Radicalz Vs X-Factor ---

The length was good for a match containing 7 tag-teams however some teams came and went to quickly, the first few falls mostly contained power moves so that the beginning matches could go at a shorter length. There where not many double team moves however there where some cool ones. I believe that to many teams won by interference's, the end to the Jericho and Benoit Vs X-Factor part of match is great. This match could've been quite a bit better not to say it was awful at all, Chris Benoit and Jericho came out of this match looking pretty well together. (6.5/10)

--- No-Holds-Barred Match for the WWF Championship - Stone Cold Steve Austin Vs The Undertaker ---

This match was more hardcore then the actual hardcore match before it, it contained tons of hard chair shots and the announce table, as well as a few other dirty tricks. The pace during the middle of this match seemed to go rather slowly but I guess for these two main event wrestlers its ok. The Interference's went well with this match however I think Kane should've helped his brother a bit at the end. Again Austin had to look stupid missing a chair shot, this time because Undertaker did not duck when he should have. Overall a pretty good main event and possibly the best encounter between these two wrestlers. (6/10)

( Extra Features )

The extras on this DVD are lacking, it contains 5 Extra Interviews from Sunday Night Heat, match histories which are already in the pay per view anyway and the Kurt Angle medal ceremony from Raw the night after this judgement day. The medal ceremony is easily the best extra feature as it is pretty funny and contains a awesome angle slam, however it does not save the extras from being anything more then lacking. (3.5/10)

( Overall DVD )

This event is not worth picking up for its extra features however the event does contain some good matches that are worth watching at least once. I believe this DVD is especially good for Chris Benoit fans as he shines in this pay per view. The DVD is average and may be worth picking up for some fans, however if you do not buy many WWE DVD's then I would recommend looking into other events, still you should make your own decision on whether you would like to see the above matches or not.
