Summary: To me it lived up to the hype!
Review: InVasion definitely come out as one of the best PPVs of the year. 1. Edge and Christian vs Mike Awesome and Lance Storm- 3.5
This was a decent openning bout. 2. APA vs Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire- 2
This wasn't the best match ever, but it was ok. 3. Earl Hebner vs Nick Patrick- DUD
The only good thing about this match was Mick Foley was the guest referee. 4. Kidman vs X-Pac- 4.5
Two words: Kidman Rules. He definely proved that in this match. This was one out of the three best matches of the night. 5. William Regal vs Raven- DUD
Nothing special. 6. Big Show, Billy Gunn, and Albert vs Perfect Shawn, Kanyon and Hugh Morrus- 1
Decent match 7. Tajiri vs Tazz- 2.5
This was an allright match 8. WWF Hardcore Title Match: Jeff Hardy vs Rob Van Dam- 5
This was the show stealer of the night. This was no doubt the best Hardcore title match I've ever seen. 9. Bra and Panties Match: Torrie and Stacy vs Trish and Lita- 2
This wasn't a good match, it was the match type. 10. The Inaugural Brawl: Stone Cold, Kurt Angle, The Undertaker, Kane, and Y2J vs Booker T., Rhyno, DDP, and The Dudley Boyz- 5
This was a good match, but the ending was [messed] up bad.

Summary: Three essential matches; very tense as well
Review: From a storyline standpoint, the WCW/ECW invasion of the WWF was the single best storyline the WWF has produced since Austin vs. McMahon. It engaged me like no other storyline has in a long time, and this Pay-Per-View captured the essence of it.
The centerpiece of the angle is Stone Cold Steve Austin. The tenseness leading up to the main event was very well executed, as was the final 5-on-5 tag match. It told a great story for a tag match, and ended with a truly shocking twist as Austin turned heel . . . again.
Top of the line, however, for the PPV was the Jeff Hardy-RVD hardcore match. These two complement each other so well and are able to pull off so many high spots that the match was impossible to fail. It ranks efficiently as one of the top five matches of 2001.
The opening match (Edge & Christian vs. Lance Storm & Mike Awesome) and the Tajiri-Tazz match are also very well executed. The rest of the card is hit-and-miss, but it is still above average for a WWF PPV.

Summary: For historical value only.
Review: This show is everything wrong with the WWF wrapped into one neat little show. Shane McMahon's WCW set up shop on Raw one night in an effort to showcase WCW wrestling. The crowd walked out even before the match started. Drastic change was needed, so the next week Shane turned heel and Paul Heyman reunited with ECW castoffs in an awesome Raw moment. A beatdown followed and suddenly ECW and WCW were a threat to the WWF. Ten seconds later Stephanie McMahon was introduced as the new owner of ECW and everything fell apart. For comparison, when the NWO invaded Kevin Nash powerbombed then-announcer Eric Bischoff through a table. A few weeks later Bobby Heenan left the ringside area saying he didn't feel safe. The NWO jumped some guys in the parking lot and when tiny Rey Mysterio Jr. tried to stop them, Nash through him into the side of a trailer like a lawn dart. One of the men receiving the beatdown said that he saw four NWO members (at that time it was just Hogan, Hall, and Nash). THAT is the way you start an invasion. Speculation was that it would be Bret Hart (who was unhappy with the WWF at the time) introduced as the fourth man. That kind of speculation and real fear that WCW might be destroyed forever fueled an 18-month dominance over the WWF. Let's cut this ... open and see what killed him. Edge/Christian vs. Awesome/Storm - Great way to open the show. Typical tag formula with the heels pounding on one guy until he gets the hot tag. Very reminiscent of the old Rock 'n' Roll Express vs. The Midnight Express matches. ***1/2 It should be noted, though, that Paul Heyman (ECW/WCW) is doing commentary with Jim Ross (WWF) and they simply trade quips as they did before the invasion started. Mistake #1. Heyman's commentary should have been filled with the same bile and hatred that his rant on Raw was. Nick Patrick vs. Earl Hebner - I think that once it was announced that Vince had bought WCW every wrestling fan was salivating for this match. Or not. -**** APA vs. Palumbo/O'Haire - Mistake #2. Vince doesn't want to admit that WCW might have some better talent even though he owns BOTH promotions now. Wrong guys go over here killing any heat for the WCW guys. It would get worse for Palumbo. ** Billy Kidman vs. X-Pac - Good, quick match. These guys are capable of more, though. Nice to see the Shooting Star Press again! *** William Regal vs. Raven - Mistake #3. Not really WWF's fault here. Regal is a natural heel, but is forced to play a babyface. Crowd is not enthused. (See also: X-Pac vs. Kidman) *1/2 Big Show, Billy Gunn & Albert vs. Kanyon, Morrus, & Stasiak. - Next! * Tajiri vs. Tazz - Should have been much better. ** Hardcore Title - Jeff Hardy vs. Rob Van Dam - Great way to introduce RVD to the WWF crowd. High-flying match with good bumps, but nothing that would severely injure anyone. (Kudos to the WWF for toning that trend down). ***1/2 Bra & Panties Match - Trish/Lita vs. Stacy/Torrie - They picked the four best-looking ones. DUD Booker T, DDP, Rhyno, & Dudleyz vs. Austin, Angle, Jericho, UT & Kane.
Mistake #4 Why would a guy fight in a twenty-minute match, THEN turn on his team? Wouldn't you just turn on them as soon as you got out there? I won't say whom, but you probably already know. Good match until the turn. ***1/2 In the end - This show is required viewing just to see why the WWF lost twenty percent of their audience over a three month period. Watch the E & C vs. Awesome/Storm match and the Hardy/RVD match. Everything else is avoidable. Recommended for historical value only.

Summary: Not Bad . . . .
Review: This Pay-Per-View was great, don't get me wrong. If it had been a regular, In-Your-House type PPV then I would have given it five stars. However, because of the very intense build-up to WWF Invasion and how they promoted it (which was more than usual for one of their Pay-Per-Views) I expected much more out of it than what I got. The Innagural Brawl was exciting, as were most of the other matches. My favorite match, of which is only because I'm a guy and contain a Y chromosome) was the Tag-Team Bra & Panties match. Yeah, puppies!

Summary: could have been better
Review: This PPV had some good matches but some were rubbish, so here they are:
Edge and Christian VS Lance Storm and Mike Awesome.This was a good opener with some nice high spots.3/5
Earl Hebner VS Nick Patrick.This match isn't worth reviewing 1/5
APA VS Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo.This could and should have been better.Not much happening here.2/5
Billy Kidman VS X-Pac. A great lucha libre style match, with some great aerial offence.4/5
Raven VS William Regal. A boring match with nothing special.2/5
Tajiri VS Tazz. A quality match showcasing both mens styles.3/5
Rob Van Dam VS Jeff Hardy.The match of the card with some excellent moves.Jeff does all he can to keep up with Van Dam.This is Van Dams 1st WWF PPV and it was a great way to introduce him to the WWF fans.5/5
Lita and Trish Strattus VS Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson.This match gets a top rating because i got to see all 4 ladies ...!!!5/5
Austin, Jericho, Angle, Undertaker, and Kane VS Dudleyz, DDP, Booker T and Rhyno.This match was a dissapointment.It wasn't that bad, but the only thing that saves it is the big swerve at the finish.3/5

Summary: THIS THING COULD LIVE UP TO THE HYPE, BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I have to give it 4 stars for a few reasons. First and foremost is the RVD/Jeff Hardy match probably the best match of the year. This is the closest RVD will ever get to his ECW days in the WWF and Hardy is the perfect opponent to let RVD show why he is the whole F'N show and all that Mr. PPV stuff too. Other matches to note Kidnman and X-Pac who hasn't compared these two before??? They lived up to the hype nd deliver. Tajiri and Tazz was pretty good as well, but we all Tazz (along with Awesome) are more imposing then the federation are letting them be. Now maybe its because I'm a dude, btu the bra and panties match was very very VERY entertaining, nice reversals, probably the best in the history of the sport. Some low points however are the Regal/Raven match (who put this together?), The Patrick/Herpner match (utterably horrible), and the main event which was a complete dud. Austin defineatly doesn't look like the Stone Cold of the old btu does do a good job ruining Rhyno's poise as even the slightest threat to anyone which is a shame. DDP is absolutely horrible here, I was expecting more out of the two time two time, umm anyway the match was like 45 minutes and wasn't anything minutely it could have been. But its a defineate worth buying. the DVD has a few good extras like Rob Van Dam invades, which is like a 10 minutes profile on RVD, and before and after interviews. But the only thing thats missing is the Kurt Angle afterwards, you click you get absolutely NOTHING. Good DVD.

Summary: DISSAPOINTING!!!!
Review: This ppv really didnt live up to its hype.When this ppv was over it left me saying "IS THIS IT?!?!?!?!"
The show stealer was RVD vs jeff hardy with some nice wrestling but this match is nothing compared to a rvd/lynn match in ECW.
The main event was pretty boring (i hate tagmainevents).
regal and raven had a bad night and i expected a bit more from kidman and x-pac.
If you want to see 1 of x-pac's best matches get summerslam 2001, he was vs tajiri and it was a very good match, and not to mention summerslam 2001 is WAAAAAAAAAAAAy better!!!!
And wrestlemania 17 even tops that so id suggest to get wrestlemania 17 even if it didnt have the whole fn show it had a breath taking TLC2 match which topped there TLC1 match.
We all know wwf vs ecw/wcw is a historic ppv but i dont think the wrestlers knew that as i know they can do better.Trust me on this 1 guys get something you will watch over again!

Summary: Only 2 Good Matches
Review: This show was lame, as are most WWF ppv's these days. The only matches worth watching are the main event and the AMAZING RVD vs Jeff Hardy match, which is one of the years best. This was built up to be one of the biggest shows in history but ended up being just another ppv that nobody will remember. The biggest problem with the WWF ppv is that there are never more than 3 good matches and the rest are all fillers of time. Do yourself a favor and get an ECW DVD instead. They're a hundred times better and you'll watch them over and over again. Unlike this which you'll watch once, except for the RVD vs Jeff Hardy match. Go to a tape trader and get a copy of that one match.

Summary: A true Austin fan in Massachusetts...
Review: One major reason to own this DVD, Austin rules and thats the bottom liine. See let me explaain after invasion i was stunned...(stone cold style) Austin just a week before was becoming a hero again, everyone liked him it was crazy when he decimated the allience just nights before. What i am trying to say is he pulled a wall over everyone's eyes. Even mine and i can usually predict what happens every time. I give props to Vince Mcmahon on the planing of this event. What? i said props to Mcmahon! Another thing if your wondering why i still like Austin...Well heres why 1. Hes the best and allways will be. 2.Hes funny as all hell, what? LOL. 3.Any true wrestling fan knows that you cant just turn your back on ur favorites just because of there actions. I have a friend actually who has liked kurt angle since he came into WWF, Angle started becoming cool after invasion, and then BAM like the little rat he is, he joins the allience....WHY? ill tell you. HES SCARED OUT OF HIS MIND OF AUSTIN. It's true It's damn true! Even after Angle went over to the allience my friend still likes kurt. So you can't bust on me for liking austin. Well i guess that sums up my review. If you think this DVD is the best one yet, gimme a hell yea! Bottom line buy it if you are a big WWF fan and more importantly a true Stone Cold Steve Austin fan.
