Rating: Summary: Decent But Underwhelming Review: Scotty 2 Hotty & Albert vs. Test & Christian
Pretty good considering it was made on Heat. Looks bad on paper but turns out to be a nice opener.
Intercontinental Championship
Edge vs. William Regal
First match in their long rivalry. Not too bad but ends rather abrubtly.
Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy
Why? There was no need to do this and it was flat.
Tag Team Championship
Dudley Boyz vs. Big Show & Kane
Seems geared towards just entertainment than a serious match. Funny moments boost this a little.
Hardcore Championship
Rob Van Dam vs. Undertaker
Show stealer right here! Excellent match. They go pretty much everywhere in the arena. Great match.
Women's Championship
Trish Stratus vs. Jacqueline
junk.
WWF Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle
Second best match with these two. Great wrestling mixed with brawling. Everything these two did during the invasion angle was gold.
World Championship
The Rock vs. Chris Jericho
Pretty grueling match here. This was more of a brawl than the No Mercy classic. The ending is very much a shocker.
Undisputed Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Chris Jericho
This starts right away with no break for Y2J which adds to his great performance. It's a good match but not the classic you'd hope for in a match of this magnitude.
Rating: Summary: WWE Vengeance 2001 Review: Scotty 2 Hotty & Albert vs. Christian & Test Good opener, 3.5/5 stars Edge vs William Regal-Intercontinental title OK match, both good athletes, could have been made a better match, 3/5 Jackie vs. Trish-Women's title Great Match! Both divas put a lot of effort into this match, 4/5 Dudleys vs Kane/Big Show- Tag Team titles Bad match, worst one on the PPV card, 1/5 Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy-special ref Lita Good match but I think people would rather see these two wrestlers in a tag team match, 4/5 Stone Cold vs Kurt Angle Good match, 3.5/5 Chris Jericho vs The Rock GREAT MATCH!!!!! 5/5 Chris Jericho vs. Stone Cold- WWE Undisputed Title match Good Match, I liked the ending, 4/5
Rating: Summary: One great company, One great champion... Review: Simple, one of the best PPV's, it all started with another superb video package like only the WWF can deliver, then Mr. McMahon being interrupted the way he was, was a great way to kick it off. All matches were good (maybe, well not maybe, the hardy vrs. hardy match could had been way better), and the Undertaker vrs. RVD match was incredible, the UT really proved he can still work with a young new Superstar like RVD, and he did sell for RVD, this match alone was worth my money for this PPV. Did you hear The King say in the Trish/Jackie match "let the puppies out to play" (man, he really likes Trish, and who can blame him). Flair is awesome. The undisputed champion matches (the three of them)were 5 star matches, They can never go wrong with an Angle/Austin match, and the Rock/Jericho match was a great as well, then Austin/Jericho at the final match was good booking, they worked the match simply great, and allthough you knew Jericho wouldn't get the clean victory, I thought it was the right call, and maybe, Jericho needed to win with a little help to make it feel special. A really good, great PPV.
Rating: Summary: Vengeance 2001 Review: Solid PPV, and one of the best I've ever seen...
To start things off, Vince comes out and starts whining and complaining about have his face shoved into Rikishi's ... He says who laughs last, laughs loudest...! The Ric Flair comes out and stops Vince's incessive whining so we can get on with our PPV.
Match #1 Test & Christian vs. Scotty 2 Hotty & Albert: What a crappy way to start this awesome PPV. Scotty and Albert win in this waste of a match. I'm glad Stray-Train was fired! Scotty needs to go next! DUD!!! 3/10
Regal is seen spouting off some nonsense about how he will beat Edge, and how he has the power of the punch or something (can we say "brass knucks"???) Then he calls Coach a PILLOCK and heads out to the ring.
Match #2 Edge (c) vs. William Regal for the Intercontinental Championship: A decent match, but nothing spectacular. Regal and Edge's styles don't work well together. Edge retains after the Edgeucution! 6/10
Ric is bakestage talking on his phone and Kurt walks in and basically just spouts a bunch of stuff about him being a gold medalist and that he will be the UDC! Flair wishes him luck and he leaves.
Quick meeting between Lita and Matt Hardy before the match...
Match #3 Matt vs. Jeff with Lita as the Special Guest Referee: Great match, and this is where things started to pick up! Lita counts the 1,2,3 and Jeff wins but Matt's foot was on the rope! Matt gets pissed and leaves! 8/10
Rock and Trish meet up backstage and she gives him a kiss. Then Rock says after he becomes the UDC, Trish will have plenty of time to Smell What the Rock is Cookin'...(HOOKUP!)
Match #4 The Dudleys vs. Kane and The Big Show for the Tag Team Championships: Decent match with Kane and Big Show getting pissed at eachother the whole time. This lead to their downfall and the Dudleys retain! 7/10
Lita apologizes to Matt for not seeing his foot on the rope. Matt acts like a cry baby and walks off.
Match #5 RVD (c) vs. The Undertaker for the Hardcore Championship: I know everyone wants to give me hell for hating the Undertaker, but now he is just a fat old man who is getting his horrible push cuz of his political power much like HHH. Anyways he beats RVD in a brutal match, but the only problem is there is no blood what so ever!!! 8/10 for good crowd interaction in this match!
Ric is back talking on his cell when Jericho comes in. He also spouts stuff about him beating Rock twice and that no one thinks he will be UDC. He tells Flair he will win and then he leaves. (Why do the heels whine so much?)
Match #6 Trish (c) vs. Jackie for the Women's Championship: DUD!!! Trish retains cuz Jackie sucks and I'm glad she was fired! 0/10
WWF New York with a quick interview with Rikishi. Then they show the higlights of Vince's escapade with the Rock and Rikishi on Smackdown. Very funny segment and I'm glad it was on the PPV because this DVD has absolutely no extras!!!
Match #7 Stone Cold (c) vs. Kurt Angle for the WWF Championship: Great way to start off this little tournament. After lots of suplexes, Stone Cold wins with a STUNNER! He retains and moves on to the main event match for the UDC. 9/10
That perv Test breaks into Trish's dressing room and offers to give her a congratulations kiss. She calls him crazy, and in the midst of his whining, she kicks him out.
Match #8 Chris Jericho vs. The Rock for the World Heavyweight Championship: AWESOME! Great action in this match. Vince makes and interferrence to distract Rock and the ref. Jericho nails a low blow and a rock bottom on Rock and wins! 10/10
Match #9 Jericho vs. Stone Cold for the UDC: Definitely the match of the card but since both these guys had already wrestled, it was over around the 10 minute mark. I think there was an interferrence by just about everyone here...first Kurt, then Rock, then Vince, then Ric Flair!!! Total CHAOS!!! Looked like Austin was gonna pull it off when Booker T snuck up behind and clocked Austin in the back of the head with the WWF Title!!! When Booker came out this is when the crowd got the loudest, even louder then Flair! Jericho got the 1,2,3 and became the first ever Undisputed Champion!!! Vince laughs last and laughs loudest after all!!! 10000000/10!!!
I know I write too much, but had to get the most out of this PPV!!! Go get this if you can still find it!!!
Rating: Summary: Highly anticipated, lowly achieved Review: The first match [was bad]. Scotty and Albert aren't a good team but soon Sexay will be back (with his cannabis) to get down! Edge V Regal an average match but WWF should let Regal have gotten more technical like UK fans know he can. Regal should lose some weight so that he can be quicker and keep up with Edge. Matt VS Jeff BORING. This match should have been amazing with two high flyers with a well built up rivalry fighting but two many ground moves and not enough extremity along with an unclean finish spoiled it. Dudleyz VS Kane and Big Show quite good match with Stacy getting spanked and a brutal 3D on the exposed turnbuckle. RVD VS Undertaker since I first saw Van Dam at Invasion I've been a huge mark for this guy and he carried the Taker in this match. A nice cross body and a chokeslam through two tables were the highlights of this match other than that an OK match (and for once Undertaker sold RVD's moves) I wish the old fatty would really become the Deadman! Trish VS Jackie nice puppies but a short match with a pinning combo ending the match (how brutal!) Angle VS Austin the match has been done too often and this was far inferior to Summerslam's excellent effort, no real electricity in this match. Rock VS Y2J quite good match (thanks to Rocky) screwjob finish, my favourite of the PPV. Y2J VS 3:16 unusual start with both men out (Y2J Rock Bottomed Stone Cold hit with chair) never really got going and screwjob finish again. Y2J should wait about a year and get some new gimmicks before he enters the big leagues...
Rating: Summary: FIRST EVER UNDISPUTED CHAMPION Review: This Historic event will decide the 1st ever undisputed champion which was live from San Dieago, C.A.-Vince speaks to crowd (A$$ Kisser) -Flair interupts Vince.WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO -Scotty and Albert vs Test and Christian Nice opener that got the crowed worked up.It was a decent fast and short tag team match which was entertaining. -Regal interview -Edge vs Regal (Intercontinental Championship) The macth is nothing special and displays more of regals style of wrestling which is slow and offensive.Not much difference to there RAW matches but tonight the brass knucks didnt help Regal. -Ric Flair and Angle promo -Lita and Matt promo -Hardy vs Hardy rivalry -Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy Special guest referee : Lita Brother vs brother was not what we'd all expected from these highflyers.This is the match where the Hardy Boyz were suspended for about a month as they were suppose to display a highflying affair but instead the Hardyz ignored the writers and tried to put on a technical match that they couldnt do well.It was good having Lita as the special guest referee as it made the match more interesting.A little dissapointing from a much anticapated match. -Rock and Trish promo -Dudley Boyz vs Bigshow and Kane (WWF tag team championships on the line) The match was nothing special, it had a few power spots but not as much as you would expect.This match was fit for RAW or Smackdown. -Lita and Matt promo -Rivalry of Rob Van Dam and Undertaker -RVD vs Undertaker (Hardcore championship) RVD starts off with some of his unorfadox offense style but Undertaker is quick to put a stop to it.This match is different compared to RVD's other past Hardcore bouts as this one is more of a brawl not much wrestling in the ring at all.They mainly fought on the entrance way.Nice cross body off the balcony.The match was good, not the best, but good and ends with RVD getting chokeslammed off the entrance way through tables.Also i would like to add something, if you have enjoyed RVD's hardcore matches latley against Jeff Hardy and Jericho, i suggest you have a look at some ECW dvd's because you aint seen nothing yet. -Ric Flair and Jericho Promo -Trish vs Jackie (Womens title) The match was pretty good and started to impress me, but i wish it went for longer as the crowd started getting into it. -Replay from Smackdown where Vince kissed a whole lotta A$$ -Rikishi interview at WWF New York -The build up to the tournament for the Undisputed Championship 4 MEN / 3 MATCHES / 2 TITLES / 1 UNDISPUTED CHAMPION JERICHO / ROCK / ANGLE / STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN -WWF CHAMPIONSHIP Kurt Angle vs Stone Cold Steve Austin Starts off with some grappling then into some Austin brawling.It is a hard fought match with a lot of german suplexes and Austin ends up going to the finals for the Undisputed Championship -Trish and Test Promo -WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Rock vs Jericho The match starts off a bit slow but does pick up, with Jericho's cockyness and Rocks charisma makes it interesting but not there best display as they have had way better matches (No Mercy 2001). Nice table spot though and a couple of cose pins until Vince comes out and Jericho makes a date with Austin for the Undisputed Championship. -WINNER IS THE 1ST EVER UNDISPUTED CHAMPION OF THE WORLD Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Chris Jericho The match starts with both guys nearly getting counted out as Angle hit Austin with a chair and Rock rockbottoms Jericho.Austin gets up and starts off his usual offense of smash mouth in your face style in and out of the ring.By now you have to give Jericho credit as hasnt had a break or a breather after his bout with the Rock.This match is a slobber Knocker until Booker-t makes his return and Jericho gets the push of his career by becoming the 1st ever Undisputed Champion. The event itself could have been a bit better but no doubt it was historical.My favourite match being the Hardcore Title and the most dissapionting match was the Hardy Boyz match as we all know could have been a classic.If you are a true Jerichoholic you should already have this in your collection, if you are a WWF collecter this is a must for your collection because of the crowning of the 1st Undisputed Champion.If you are browsing around looking for a wrestling vhs/dvd i would recomend you to look around a bit more as it isnt too rewatchable to the new fan.
Rating: Summary: Good solid match, 3 main events Review: This is a very good ppv and in my mind is underrated. It has 3 main matches so what can one ask for! And it is also historical because of the debut of the Undisputed Title. Scotty 2 Hotty& Albert vs Test and Christian-- Good match. The crowd really got into the ppv with this match and it did not dissapoint. *** Edge vs Regal- Another good match, but could've used more action Look for Edge to become popular this year and run after the WWF Title. ** 1/2 Jeff vs Matt Hardy- Disappointing. With all the events leading up to this match it disappointed everyone. They both are aerial fighters and this whole match was done on the ground. * 1/2 Dudleys vs Kane and Big Show- good match! Dudleys always put up a good show at PPVs and the 2 big guys really show their power in this match. *** RVD vs Undertaker-- GREAT! Lots of action and away from the ring action! RVD earned the Mr PPV title this PPV. **** Stone Cold vs Angle-- Good! These 2 are great against each other. Lots of action and all. *** 1/2 The Rock vs Jericho-- Not really fast paced. However not bad. ** 1/2 Stone Cold vs Jericho-- Everyone wanted Jericho to win this match even though he is really the bad guy. It was good and started out good and ended well. ***
Rating: Summary: logan Review: This is actually a review for Vengeance 2002. Like Judgment Day 2002, for some reason the WWE only released this DVD on their website. This was a very good PPV. It did not look that good on paper, but turned out to be a bit of a surprise.
1. Bubba Ray & Spike Dudley vs. Chris Benoit & Eddie Guerrero (Tag Team Table Elimination Match)
This was Chris Benoit's first match at a WWE PPV since King of the Ring 2001. This wasn't the craziest table match you will see, but it features some top notch wrestlers and good table bumps by Spike and Guerrero. Good way to kick off the show. (8/10)
2. Jamie Noble vs. Billy Kidman (Cruiserweight Title)
Pretty good cruiserweight match. Good pace to the match. Jamie Noble is not the typical cruiserweight, as he uses power instead of high flying moves. (7.5/10)
3. Jeff Hardy vs. William Regal (European Championship)
This match was never even announced. Nobody knew about it. It was a fast match, but not that bad. The following night on RAW, Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam would wrestle in a heck of a ladder match to unify the European and Intercontinental titles. (7/10)
4. Chris Jericho vs. John Cena
This match was thrown together at the last second on Heat. It was John Cena's first match on a WWE PPV. Check out his ring attire, as it is nothing like what he wears today and pretty darn funny. Nothing too special in the match, except for Jericho nailing Cena with a dropkick as Cena jumped off the top rope. (7/10)
5. Brock Lesnar vs. Rob Van Dam (Intercontinental Title)
This was actually a very good match. It was probably Brock Lesnars's first good match in the WWE. Good pace to the match. RVD put on a pretty good show. Good post match action. (8.5/10)
6. Booker T vs. Big Show (No DQ, No Countout)
Very fast, but good match. Booker T did some crazy stuff in this match. He jumed from one announce table and scissor kicked Big Show through the other announce table. Booker used the Houston Hangover for the first time since he joined the WWE. Good match. (8.5/10)
7. Triple H signing with RAW or Smackdown
This is very entertaining. Right when you think he is about to sign with one show, a surprising event occurs and Triple H rethinks his decision. Entertaining. (8/10)
8. Hulk Hogan & Edge vs. Lance Storm & Christian (Tag Titles)
Nothing too exciting happened in this match. Although, it was a decent match. Test makes an appearance. (7.5/10)
9. Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle vs. The Rock (Undisputed Title/Triple Threat)
Wow, what a match! This was one of the top 5 matches of the year in my opinion. Great back and forth action. At one point everyone in the match uses each others finisher. Very entertaining sequence. Good finish with a lot of near falls. (9.5/10)
I definately recommend picking up this DVD if you can somehow find it. Even though you don't hear a lot about the main event, it is one of the better triple threat matches you will see.
Overall Rating: 8.5/10
Rating: Summary: Good PPV Review: This PPV was great. It starts with Vince McMahon coming out to the ring and complaining about how THE ROCK shoved his face into Rikishi's [rear] the previouse week on Smackdown . He goes on for about 7 or 8 miniutes when Rick Flair finnaly comes out and shuts him up.Then finnaly the PPV starts.Here are the matches rated 1 - 5...Scotty 2 hotty & Albert vs Test and Christian. This match was pretty good. 3 1/2Edge vs William Regal for he IC title.Great match! Both men took turnes controling each other but in the end Edge came out on top. 4 Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy..Lita as Guest Refferee... This was a great match though it was sad to see these two fight... With Lita as Matt's girl friend you might think well thats not fair but Lita called it Right down the middle as she saw it. Matt tried to hit 2 or three Twist of fates all of which was countered bye his brother Jeff. Jeff won bye hitting a Swanton on Matt. Matt's Foot On the rope . 4Tag Titles on the line with/ The Duleyz vs Big Show and Kane. I thought for sure Kane and Show were gonna get it but in the middle of the match Kane accedently hits Show with a clothsline. When Show knocks Kane off the Ring Apron he gets 3D'ed by the Dudley'z for the win. 4 1/2 Hardcore title match. RVD vs Undertaker. Great Match! RVD did surprisingly good in this match. I thought Taker was gonna kick RVD's [rear]. RVD controlled the Taker for a while though. Taker look's stupid throughout the match at one point even run's his self into the Titon Tron. RVD blocks last ride but gets choke slammed onto a table about 12 feet below. Taker win's 5 WWF Title.Stone Cold vs Angle. This one startes slow but it gets better the winner of this goes on to try to be named the Undisputed Champion of the world. SC kicks out of an Angle Slam. Angle tries Stunner Austin Block's and gives Angle the Stunner and get's the win. 3 1/2 World championship match Rock vs Jericho. Winner also goes on to try to win the Undisputed title. Not as good as there match at No Mercy but good. Vince comes to the ring and distracts the rock and rock turnes around to get a Rock Bottem from Jericho for the win [I hate jericho] 4 The look on Jericho's face when Stone Cold comes out is Priceless. Jericho had no time to rest. This match was good. Angle returnes to hit Austin with a Chair and Rock to hit Jericho with a Rock bottem .Jericho cheats becomes the Undisputed Champ. 'Nuff Said. overall a Great match and PPV 4 1/2
Rating: Summary: A WASTE OF TIME !!!! Review: THIS PPV WAS THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO THE WWF. WHAT DO THEY THINK GAVING THE ROCK A SHOT FOR THE TITLE EVERY TWO EVENTS ? ISN'T MORE TALENT UNAVAIBLE IN THE COMPANY ? WHY AUSTIN AND THE UNDERTAKER DON'T GO STRAIGHT AHEAD WERE THEY BELONG: AN ASSYLUM !!! THE REAL UNDIPUTED CHAMPIONS HERE IS JERICHO ... THE ONLY TWO GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE PPV ARE: 1. RVD 2. Y2J. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO GIVE KANE, RVD OR TAZZ THE TITLE ? THE WWF WANT TO USE THEM IN LOW PROFILE WAYS UNTIL THE UNDERTAKER, STONE COLD, TRIPLE H, THE ROCK ( VINCE'S BABY ) AND OTHERS PSEUDO-STARS OF THE PAST CENTURY DIES !!! THEY ARE BRINGING BACK OLD MUMMIES ( LIKE HULK HOGAN, KEVIN NASH, SCOTT HALL, RICK FLAIR, DIAMNOD DALLAS PAGE ETC ) WE NEED FRESH BLOOD AND YOUNG PEOPLE... PLEASE FIRE THE OLD ONES THAT ARE ONLY STEALING OXYGEN. !!! THEY DON'T BRING BACK THE GIANT ANDRE ONLY BECAUSE HE IS DEAD !!! SPOILER: * AT THIS MOMENT THEY ARE PRETENDING TO MAKE WM18 MAIN EVENT ROCK-AUSTIN ( AGAIN FOR THE 1000th. TIME - WE ARE SICK OF THEM !!! )*
