Rating: Summary: Great PPV, Great Extras! Review: I'm especially partial to this DVD because I'm on it! In the DVD extras, the one with Ric Flair's return to the WWF, I'm the guy holding the "Thank You, Kurt" sign with the red, white and blue letters. But enough shameless self-promotion for now. This was a truly great PPV, if for nothing else than the fact that it is the culmination of the war of the Big 3 (WWF,WCW,ECW). Granted, this is the scripted version of the end of the war, but it's significant nonetheless. Make sure you check out Edge vs. Test, Hardyz vs. Dudleyz, Immunity Battle Royal (last time we'll see some of those guys for a while), and of course the main event.
Rating: Summary: WWF DOMINATES ONCE AGAIN Review: This 15th Survivour Series was WWF's most important PPV of all time and was held in Greensboro North Carolina.Before the actual event started there was a good intro. Christian and Alsnow kicked things off in a decent opener for the European Championship, nothing special but near the end it does pick up a bit. -Austin & Team Alliance promo "will he turn" -Vince & Linda promo Regal vs Tarjiri in short match up that could have been better.Starts off with some stiff kicks by Tarjiri and have a look when Tarjiri gets his neck tied between the rope. -Test & Stacey promo "she wants me" -Edge interview The 1st unification title match was between Test(i.c.) and Edge(u.s).1 title has to go as these 2 young performers get it on.Test dominates in this match with his smash mouth in your face style of wrestling that does pick up near the end when the crowd gets into it and with a couple of near falls this has a nice ending and the Intercontinental Championship stays.A nice performance from these 2 who could be future maineventers. -Angle & Stephanie promo "regular person" -Team Xtreme promo The 2nd title unifcation match featured the Dudly Boyz(WCW tag team champs) and Hardy Boyz(WWF tag team champs) in a steel cage match. These 2 teams have had a history and this will no doubt be apart of it although it wasnt their best encounter.It starts off a little slow but slowly picks up as they all brawl.Dudlyz contolled most of the match.Hardyz didnt leave uninjured as Matt got squashed between the cage and Buh Buh Ray and Jeff done a swanton through a table from top of a cage with impact.A good finish to a good match that also could have been a bit better as there wasnt as many high flying monuvers. -Mick Foley interview at WWF New York. -Test assualts Scotty Too Hotty to get in the Immunity Battle Royal. 1st ever IMMUNITY BATTLE ROYAL Featuring members of Team WWF & Alliance and the winner can not be fired for a year no matter which team wins. It was nothing to special as the guys didnt put much effort into it.Nice strength by Bradshaw as he chucks Kidman out of the ring with a fallaway slam.Also Billy Gunn gets a boot to the face as Test keeps his job for another year. -A nice video clip of the WWF by CREED "My Sacrifice" -Shane & Booker-t promo Next was tag team acton featuring 6 women of the WWF for the WWF gold.The 6 women were:Jaqueline vs Trish vs Lita vs Ivory vs Mighty Molly vs Jazz.It was Jazz's 1st appearance in the WWF but didnt get a big obvation, if more people knew her from ECW she would have.This match was short but sweet and a new WWF womens champion is crowned. -Team WWF promo "Vince preparing his Troops" -The fued leading up to this important match. WINNER TAKE ALL 10 MEN TAG ELLIMINATION MATCH TEAM WWF BIGSHOW / KANE / UNDERTAKER / CHRIS JERICHO / THE ROCK TEAM ALLIANCE SHANE / BOOKER-T / ROB VAN DAM / KURT ANGLE / STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN Match kicks off with Rock and Austin and the crowd gets hyped.Shane interupts nearly every pin but gets tombstoned out of the match.The most impressive out of the 10 was Rob Van Dam and Chris Jericho.At one point it becomes an all out brawl but it does have its slow points.Things to pick up as the guys who kicked it off are finishing it, thats right Rock and Stone Cold once again which is a good thing.It then becomes intense as the 2 refs start getting involved and Angle turns.Rock gets the pin as WWF wipes out the Alliance in a hard fought match. Paul Heymans face is priceless even though i like the guy.With WWF locker room celebrating and Vince coming out with arms in air as this historic show closes. All in All this is a very historic PPV.Most of these guys give it 5 out of 5 because WWF Dominates but some of the wrestlers didnt put in the effort that you would expect in a big PPV.Although it is a must have in your collecton as this is a very historic night but there are better WWF PPV's.
Rating: Summary: Which company survived the Survivor Series Review: Well, I just recently purchased Survivor Series and after a very solid No Mercy, I was hoping that the WWF would continue their PPV success. And the WWF did not disappoint. From start to finish, this PPV was very entertaining. 1. WWF European Championship-Christian vs. Al Snow-the buildup for this match wasn't until near the end of the Sunday Night Heat before the PPV. Looking at it, you would think that it's just a PPV card-filler. But in actuality, it was a rather solid match. Al Snow proves that the long lay-off from competition didn't erode his wrestling ability. Nice moves from both superstars-***1/2 stars. 2. William Regal vs. Tajiri-I must admit. I have never enjoyed watching a William Regal match, but this one was above being watchable. With the exception of it being short and a little one-sided, this was an okay match. Nice bump-taking from Regal and nice ending to the match-**1/2 stars 3. WCW United States Championship/WWF Intercontinental Championship Unification Match-Edge vs. Test- I wasn't too excited about this match, either, but this could have been quite possibly the best match that Test had competed in in the year 2001. Both men worked hard in this match and as a result, it lived up to the hype that it had.-***1/2 stars 4. WCW/WWF Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Unification Match-This match was good but could have been a little better. From what I saw at Royal Rumble 2000 with their table match and the TLC and ladder matches, I was expecting a lot more. However, it wasn't boring as a lot of innovative moves were utilized in that contest. The ending was good and serves as a tool for the brief feud of the Hardyz.-***1/2 stars 5. 20 Man-Immunity Battle Royal-Surprises in this match. Basically a free-for-all with every man fighting for the right to have immunity for 1 year in the WWF, meaning that for 1 year only, whatever they do, they cannot be fired. Nice ending-**1/2 stars 6. Six Pack Challenge for Vacant WWF Women's Championship-Trish vs. Lita vs. Jaqueline vs. Mighty Molly vs. Ivory vs. Mystery Opponent-Another good surprise. All the women worked extremely hard, great match-*** stars 7. Winner-Take-All Elimination Match-This was the one that I had been waiting on. The Alliance vs. The WWF to see who would stay in business. The participants were: Alliance Stone Cold Steve Austin Kurt Angle Rob Van Dam Booker T Shane McMahon versus The Rock Chris Jericho Undertaker Kane Big Show Great hype to build up the PPV, however the match didn't quite live up to my expectations. Still a great contest. There were nice moves from all Superstars, however this was another PPV in which Shane was almost non-existent in terms of executing moves. Interesting twists and turns in this match and more feuds were made from the match. The ending was good and ironic.-**** stars Overall, this PPV was worth the buy. Never a dull moment in this event and every match was well-worked.
Rating: Summary: Great Event, Awesome DVD Review: This had to be the most important PPV of the year besides WM x-seven, because it would decide what entity would survive. The WWF or the WCW/ECW Alliance. The theme song for this PPV is "control" from Puddle Of Mud, Not my first choice for a theme, but then again not horrible, alright i'll rate the matches 1-5 stars and review them. 1) WWF European Championship Christian (champion) Vs. Al Snow This match was pretty much a bonus because it was made on sunday night heat, good opener but pointless match, good match overall. 2.5 stars out of 5 2) Tajiri Vs. Alliance Commisioner Willaim Regal Another decent match, after the match ends Regal feels the need to keep returning to the ring to lay it on Tajiri some more, it gets to the point where u just say to yourself, "go away please" 2.5 stars out of 5 3)Championship Unification Match Edge (WCW U.S. Champion) Vs. Test (WWF Intercontinental champion) The winner of this match was to keep there job no matter the out come of the Winner Take All Match. A really good bout with some high spots. Edge wins which latter sets up Test joining the Immunity battle royal to try and secure his job. 3 out of 5 stars. 4)Steel Cage Tag Team Unification Match Hardy Boyz (WWF Tag Team Champions) Vs. Dudly Boyz (WCW Tag Team Champions) Awesome match with a dramatic finish, matt Hardy climbs over the cage, whick is a foolish mistake and leaves his brother alone, when Jeff climbs to the top to escape and win he decides to take a foolish chance and dive off the cage threw Bubba on the table, Bubba moves and Jeff gets wood, Dudlyz win. 4 out of 5 stars. 5)Immunity Invitational Battle Royal Featuring 22 WCW/ECW and WWF superstars Before the match Test beats up Scotty 2 Hotty in the back and takes his spot in the battle royal. Whichs makes it kinda obvious who is going to win, but you never know with the WWF. This isnt exactly WM x-seven. Anyways Test wins and gains immunity for 1 year, meaning he cant be fired for a year. 4.5 stars out of 5 6) Six Pack challenge for the Women's Tile Lita Vs. Jaqueline Vs. Trish Vs. Ivory Vs. Molly Holly Vs. Jazz Good womens bought for the title, ends when trish uses the Stratusfaction for the win, (Wow is she hot lol) 3 out of 5 stars. 7)Team WWF vs. Team Alliance Winner Take All Elimination Match Team WWF: The Rock, Chris Jericho, Undertaker, Kane, Bigshow Team Alliance: Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Rob van Dam, Booker T, and Shane Mcmahon. Here we go, the match most of us have been waiting for, hoping that the Alliance would come to an end, This match didn't fail to deliver, with numerous high spots, the biggest high spot, the ending. When it is down to The Rock and Austin. Kurt Angle comes down to the ring and hits Austin right in the head with his own Title. It is truly an awesome ending, Kurt angle acted as the mole for the past month to help the WWF rid the Alliance. Another high spot to me was to see Paul Heyman's stupid expression after he realized he was out of a job, kodak moment. 5 out of 5 stars no doubt. DVD Extras: Yes DVD Extras! about time. 1st extra is A day of a WWF superstar. Which is Edge talking about how he became a wrestler ETC... 2nd Extra: After Math on Raw. This is everything important that happened the following night on raw. the firing of Paul Heyman, Vince calling for security to take his princess away, and Regal joining the Vince Mcmahon kiss my rear club. (dont watch ehhhh nasty..) The final little extra is the concluding moments of raw where Rick Flair (woooooooo) comes into the WWF to tell Vince that they are now partners. After that Austin comes out and dominates Angle and Vince and gets his Belt back, Austin and Flair then drink a beer together. 5 star PPV no doubt, thanks for bearing with me and reading this very long review, but at least you got the fullest of what to expect if you purchase this DVD, get it now and watch the Alliance finally die.
Rating: Summary: Buy this for the event itself, not the dvd... Review: If you're hoping to get some nice special features - backstage interviews, commentary tracks, storylines leading into the event - you won't find them. This is without a doubt the WEAKEST dvd the WWF has released, in terms of special features, so if that's what you're looking for, don't waste your money, because all you'll get is footage of what happened the night AFTER the Survivor Series, which you should've seen already anyways. HOWEVER, if you want a pretty good ppv, and prefer it on dvd - as I do - then definitely get this. Granted, my opinon is somewhat biased, seeing as how I was sitting front row for this event, but I think it was still a good show overall - how many other times can you witness the FINAL death of WCW?
Rating: Summary: Great Pay-Per-View, with an excellent ending! Review: What a pay-per-view! In my humble opinion, this has got to be the best pay-per-view of the year, however I have not seen WWF: Vengeance yet. The Survivor Series had a great deal of excellent matches. First Match: WWF European Championship. Christian puts his title on the line against Al Snow. I give this match **** stars. Both men are extremely talented and this was a well faught match and the spots were hit just right. Second Match: Tajiri Vs. William Reagal. This match did not last long at all. I say it lasted at most 5 minutes, which is good, because I think Regal is overrated and I hate seeing, however he is an excellent wrestler. The match does have a [bad] ending. I give this match ** stars. Third Match: WCW U.S. Title and WWF Intercontinental Unification This was Edge putting his Intercontinental title against Test's U.S. title to unify the belts. This match made up for the Tajiri and Reagal. One of the best matches to date. This was a superb match with many high spots and one of the best endings of the night. I give it ***** stars! Fourth Match: Steel Cage Tag Team Championship Unification Match Hardy Boyz Vs. Dudley Boyz. This was an excellent match with more high spots and a great ending to a great match. I give it ****1/2 stars. Fifth Match: Immunity Battle Royal What can I say, it was a battle royal. Whoever won got to keep their job, despite who won the "Winner Take All" match later that night. Surprising ending, not the best battle royal I have ever seen, but nonetheless, a good match. I give it ***1/2 stars. Sixth Match: Six-pack challenge for the Women's title Trish Stratus VS. Ivory VS. Lita VS. Molly Holly VS. Jacqueline VS. ? It is a secret. I normally do not put too much time into women's championship matches, but this is definately an exception. This was the best women's title match I have seen in a long while. The moves were pulled off more effectively, and it too, like other matches, had a surprise ending. This match gets ****1/2 stars in my book. Seventh Match: Team WWF Vs. Team Alliance "Winner Take All" This was the moment we had all been waiting for. Whoever lost the match would lose their job and lose a spot in the wrestling wars. Team WWF Team Alliance The Rock VS. Stone Cold Big Show Kurt Angle Chris Jericho Booker T. Undertaker Rob Van Dam Kane Shane McMahon This was an AWESOME MATCH! The match lasted over an hour. It was an elimination match to end all elimination matches! This had a great ending, many high spots, and a great storyline going into the match. This match gets ***** stars out of 5. The perfect match! This pay-per-view is worth seeing and spending the money for. It is a great installment in the WWF Home Video collection. I reccommend it for anyone who has a WWF Home Video Library. like I do. Thanks for your time, and I didn't want to go too much into the matches, because I would just might ruin the excitement. IT IS A MUST HAVE! Thanks.
Rating: Summary: WWF WINS Review: Great WWF ppv,good matches all around.I enjoyed the TEST vs EDGE,two great wrestlers,they need to be push.Every match on the card was great.The main event was great,I'T was a great way to continue with the anual SURVIVOR SERIES scruwed job that started with BRET HART in 97.the WWF wins by KURT ANGLE sruwing WCW/ECW out of buissnes.
Rating: Summary: One of the best ever!!! Review: To me this was one of the best Survivor Series ever because of the main event. "Winner Takes All" Alliance vs Federation. I don't like giving away secrets like some people, but in the end it come down to the two champions, The Rock (wCw Champion) and Stone Cold Steve Austin (WWF Champion). Finally in the end the Alliance traitor is revealed as...
