Summary: The Perfect Ending To A Long Invasion Angle
Review: I speak for most people when I say the Invasion angle was unbearable there for a while. But looking back on it and comparing it to the load of stupidity (for a lack of better four letter words) that exists today in the WWE, I must say it was pretty good. Sure, the Raws and SmackDowns were pretty turbulent with all those titles changing hands but the McMahons were at the center of this feud where they belonged and the challenge for a Winner Takes All match was laid down on Raw. On PPV, this feud tended to deliver rather than disappoint. And Survivor Series was the best of all the WWE vs. WCW/ECW PPV's.

1) Christian vs. Al Snow for the European Title- ***- Pretty Good Way to start off the festivities. Pretty good match for a last second addition. Christian just can't get out of his brother's shadow though (kind of hits the HART doesn't it?).

2) William Regal vs. Tajiri-**- Worst match of the night. They are both good wrestlers but their styles just didn't clash very well together. Regal doesn't use his power of the punch in this match.

3) U.S. Champ Edge vs. I.C. Champ Test-*****- I am a big fan of these two. This match was better than I expected and really gave the notion that this was a do or die event unlike the first two matches.

4) Cage Match-WWE Tag Champs-Hardy Boyz vs. WCW Tag Champs-Dudleyz (w/ Stacy Keibler)-****- Definitely better than the Hardyz' cage match with E&C. The Dudleyz do indeed prove they were the best tag team at that time and maybe of all time.

5) Immunity Battle Royal-*****- I love a good battle royal. Royal Rumble, Battle Royal, Hardcore Battle Royal....it makes no difference to me. So I might be a little bias on this when I say that this was an excellent addition to the card.

6) Lita vs. Trish vs. Jackie vs. Mighty Molly vs. Ivory vs. Jazz for the vacant Women's Title- *****- Very well done. Didn't last too long and very well executed. Well with Trish in the ring, STRATISFACTION IS ALWAYS GUARANTEED.

7) Winner Takes All-Team WWE vs Team Alliance-***** The greatest Survivor Series Match of all time in my personal opinion. I never have seen a match so perfectly done with 10 guys as I saw on this PPV. Rock vs. Austin Pt. 1000 was entertaining still. I would have liked to have seen both the big names eliminated at the beginning to add the sense of dread to it. But it still was an excellent match.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: quite good, actually
Review: The story behind the 2001 Survivor Series was the end of the Invasion angle between the WWF and the WCW. In real life, the WWF purchased the WCW (a rival wrestling company). The televised story of this was that Vince McMahon was intending to purchase the WCW, but his son Shane went behind his back and bought WCW himself. His sister, Stephanie, purchased another rival federation the ECW (which is actually in bankruptcy court, still). Shane and Stephanie tried to take over the WWF and put their father out of business. The WWF and WCW had their own championships and after several months of competition, Survivor Series would decide which company stays in business. This would be decided in a traditional 5 on 5 Survivor Series elimination match.

Since this PPV would eliminate one company, the championship belts would be merged (excluding the respective heavyweight titles, as both champions were in the elimination main event). The Intercontinental (WWF) and U.S. (WCW) titles would be unified in a decent match between Edge (WWF) and Test (WCW). The Tag Team titles would be unified in a Steel Cage match between the Hardy Boyz (WWF) and the Dudley Boyz (ECW). This match was very good and ended with an incredible leap from the top of the cage through a table set up in the middle of the ring. There was also a 22 Man Battle Royal where the winner would be granted immunity from being fired (no matter which company survived) for one year. It was a battle royal and was a time-filler. Not that interesting. The women's championship match between Ivory and Lita was blah with the only interesting thing happening when Lita was cut above her eye and had blood covering half her face. One of the more entertaining matches of the night was for the European Championship and was between Al Snow and Christian. I know, Al Snow being a highlight of the night? Yes. The match was fairly fast paced and was a bit more interesting than most of the others on the card.

The Main Event was the 5 on 5 elimination match. Team WWF consisted of The Rock(WCW Champion), The Undertaker, Kane, Chris Jericho, and The Big Show. The Alliance (WCW/ECW) had Stone Cold Steve Austin (WWF Champion), Kurt Angle, Booker T, Rob Van Dam, and Shane McMahon. This match had more time to tell an in-ring story and all the wrestlers had a chance to perform their big moves at least once. The match was better than most elimination style matches and provided a swerve as one wrestler switched teams during the match.

Overall, the 2001 Survivor Series was much better than in 2000 and was more of an event with high quality matches.

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: What a ppv!
Review: This ppv was unbelievable, and I'm glad I bought it. Here are the matches:

Christian vs Al Snow Euro. title. Decent match, nothin special. If Al hadnt of done the Snowplow so close to the ropes he probably would of won, but alas, Christian pulls off the win. **(outta*****).

Tajiri vs William Regal. This match was real short, nothin special here as well. Regal gets the win with his Tiger Powerbomb, and later performs it on Torrie too. **

Championship Unification match: Edge(WCW U.S. champ) vs Test(IC champ). These two really put on a great match. Using each others moves, pulling off amazing stuff. Edge barely makes the win. ****

Championship Unification Match: Hardyz(WWF tag champs) vs dudleyz(WCW tag champs) in a steel cage. This match was pretty good, some good spots in the match. Jeff tries to hit a swanton bomb off the cage onto D-von thru a table, but D-von moves and Jeff goes crashin thru the table, givin the dudleyz the win. ***

Battle Royal. Nothing special in this match. The only good spots i remember is Bradshaw's Fallaway slam over the top rope, and Test hittin the big boot to knock Billy over the rope for the win, and not be fired if WCW looses. **

Women's title match: Lita vs Jacqueline vs Trish vs Ivory vs Mighty Molly vs Jazz. Nothin real big in this match. Trish wins with the Stratusfaction on Ivory. *

Winner Takes All match! Team WWE: The Rock, Jericho, Undertaker, Kane, and Big Show, vs Team Alliance: SCSA, Angle, RVD, Booker T, and Shane. This match had some great spots, and unbelievable stuff in there. Austin and The Rock are the two left, and Kurt shocks the world by getting the WWF title, and nailing Austin with it(fans going nuts) and Austin gettin the Rock Bottom right after and WWE wins!!! WWE backstage celebratin and fans going nuts!!*****

This is an awesome ppv, and a ppv we will never forget, or at least i won't

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Match of 2001 and some!
Review: THE END OF THE WWE OR THE ALLIANCE!

Christian v. Al Snow
This match surprised me, and was probably one of the best matches from Al Snow ever. 9/10

Edge v. Test
Another good match. A great rollup ending. 8.5/10

William Regal v. Tajiri
Tajiri kicked Regal in the nose one minute into this short match, and Regal bled for about the rest of the match. Great match, but too much attacking afterwards. 8.5/10

Hardy Boyz v. Dudley Boyz CAGE TAG TEAM
So many spots off of the cage, a swanton, a bubba bomb, russian leg sweep just to name a few. As good if not better than most of these tag matches. 9/10

6 pack Woman title
Jazz v. Ivory v. Mighty Molly v. Lita v. Jackie v. Trish
A new women's star is born, for a women's match it is a 10.

IMMUNITY battle royal
i am a fan of any battle royal so a 9/10.

WWF v. ALLIANCE
The Rock, Y2J, Big Show, Kane, Taker
v.
Steve Austin, Angle, Booker T, RVD, and Shane O' Mac

An hour long match that wasn't even long enough. 20 specials were done to everyone, and two people turning at the end makes for the best match that i have ever seen minus the recent ELIMINATION CHAMBER.

10/10

BEST PPV OF 2001.

Summary: The End Is Near............
Review: WOW!!! Thats what I said when I saw this. Anyway, This was a nice little head-bashing wwf Home Video. The whole card was pretty solid, except the in-your-face cage match and main event. this is good to watch on a dreary rainy day in my opinion. At times its a little bit slow, but every match is pretty fast moving. I like to watch it because of the Winner Take All War. Many people don't appreciate this type of entertainment, but oh well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST PPV IN A LONG TIME
Review: How good was Survivor Series? It was great!!

WWF European title Match
Christian def. Al Snow

This match saw the return of Tough Enough trainer Al Snow who proved in this match that he's still got it. Although it had no background it was still a great match to kick of SS. ***

William Regal def. Tajiri

Mentor vs. pupil, an exciting match between two completely different styles, poor Torrie though. ***

WWF Intercontinental and WCW US title match
Edge def. Test

Another great match between two athletes who will be in main events before long. No more US title, oh well. ***

Steel Cage match for the WWF and WCW Tag Team titles
Dudley Boyz def. Hardy Boyz

I'd say the third best match on the card was this one. By now you would think that this Dudley/Hardy thing would get boring but it's far from that, it's downright exciting. A great climax with Jeff falling from the top of the cage. ****

Test wins immunity battle royal

This match was just to fill a gap really and for some of the lower card wrestlers to get some action and to put Test over. Crash Holly is kinda annoying, i love it when he loses to Jacqueline. Test wins easily really. ***

Six Pack Challenge for the WWF Women's title
Trish Stratus def. Jacqueline, Ivory, Lita, Mighty Molly & Jazz

The best women's match i have seen in ages. Finally Ivory and Jackie are getting onto PPV!! All of the divas get some action and Trish finally gets the win with her bulldog. *****

Winner take all match
The Rock, Undertaker, Chris Jericho, Kane & Big Show def. Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shane McMahon, Kurt Angle, Booker T & Rob Van Dam

Fantastic main event. Big Slow...Show gets eliminated first as usual by Shane (who else?). Shane goes next thanks to Jericho. Kane, Booker, RVD and Undertaker are soon eliminated too. Angle is then eliminated. Leaving it a handicap match, but Austin soon takes out Jericho. It comes down to Rock vs. Austin (who would have guessed) and finally the Rock gets the win and so WWF survive. *****

An exciting event throughout. If you buy one WWF event this year, make sure it is this one!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MORE THAN FIVE STARS!

Summary: Survivor Series 2001 is a lot of fun!!!
Review: Let's keep this one focused on reviews of the matches. Here we go.
1) Al Snow vs. Christian- Really good match but 6 minutes way too short for these guys who can work 20. Snow works really hard to show the crowd that he still has it after 19 years in the ring. The top spot has to be the Snow Plow. Rating- 6.8/10

2) Tajiri vs William Regal- Very short match for two really good workers. I mean it was not even 3 minutes long! That just ... . Rating- DUD

3)Edge(IC champ) vs Test(US Champ)- This was Test's best match in a while because Edge carried his ... so much. I really liked the roll-up finish. 11 minutes was a perfect time for this match. Rating- 8.5/10

4) Hardy Boyz (WWF tag) vs Dudley Boyz (WCW Tag) Cage Match- This match has gotten so many bad reviews that it's not funny. Personally I really liked the match. Jeff misses a Swanton off the top of the cage through a table. The match was timed perfectly at 15:29 Rating- 8/10

5) 22 Man Battle Royal- This was an okay battle royal with very few highspots. The crowd is kinda dead for most of it because no-one cares for the real wrestlers that should be main eventing and not jobbing. Rating- 5/10

6)Trish Stratus, Jackie, Lita, Ivory, Jazz and Molly (Women's Title Six Way)- Jazz is the "big mystery opponent" the crowd is deader than dead. Four minutes of so-so action. Rating- 5.2/10

7)Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, Kane, The Rock, The Big Show versus Rob Van Dam, Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Shane McMahon, Booker T- One of the five best WWF matches of 2001 in my opinion. This match is 45 minutes of pure action. The match did have one major flaw when Rock rolled up Booker T. Rock did not even have Booker's shoulders pinned correctly for a schoolboy. It looked very bad and the commentators tried covering it up. Let's not get all upset about that though. The last 20 minutes really make up for that spot. Enjoy it, It will not dissapoint. Rating-10/10
Overall View- Not the best Survivior Series but not the Worst. It ranks #5 on my SS list. Check this DVD or Video Tape out. It will not dissapoint unless you are a snobby smart mark.
