Summary: The bodies sure hit the floor
Review: This was one of the best ppvs of 2001. Here are the matches:

IC title: Storm vs Edge. Pretty good opener, but nothing too special. Edge wins the IC title and he deserved it. **

Dudleyz and Test vs APA & Spike. Pretty boring match, probably the only boring match. Test and all win thanx to Shane using a chair. *1/2

WWF LH title and WCW cruis. title both on the line.
Tajiri vs X-pac. Pretty good match. Nice spots. X-pac wins, i think he cheated. **

Chris Jericho vs RhYnO. Unbelievable match. One of Rhyno's best matches in WCW, same for Jericho. Jericho escapes the rhyno with the walls of jericho. ****

Hardcore Title Ladder match. RVD vs Jeff Hardy. Yet another unbelievable match. They pulled off some sick stuff in that match, especially that powerbomb off the ladder from Jeff. ****

Unification Tag titles match in a steel cage. Taker and Kane vs DDP and Kanyon. Yall knew DDP was gonna get ... whooped, and it was a good match by Taker and Kane. A bit slow but big whoop, DDP and Kanyon got the .... kicked out of them. ***

SCSA vs Kurt Angle for WWF title. There is no words to describe this match. This was one of the best matches of all time, I'm suprised it wasnt the best match of 2001. If only Kurt had won tho, it probably would of been the best. At least Nick Patrick got what he deserved. I just wish Kurt would of broke his ankle.*****

WCW title. Booker T vs The Rock. Nothing special in this match. Shane tries to help but he gets his butt kicked by the APA, and later a rock bottom on the floor. The ending was pretty funny and cool. Rock, to many, steals the show with winning the WCW title.

Awesome ppv. I'd recommend anyone to buy it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: GOOD PPV. NOT THE BEST THOUGH.
Review: SUMMERSLAM 2001. LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!!!!
THIS WAS NOT A BAD WWE PAY-PER-VIEW BY ANY MEANS. IT WAS COOL AND EVERYTHING BUT SHOULD'VE FEATURED BETTER HARDCORE ACTION.

THE LADDER MATCH BETWEEN ROB VAN DAM AND JEFF HARDY WAS COOL. IT HAD SOME PRETTY TIGHT MOVES AND SOME NASTY BUMPS. THE T.L.C. MATCHES WERE STILL A HECK OF A LOT BETTER THOUGH.
THE STEEL CAGE MATCH - UNDERTAKER & KANE VS. DDP & KANYON - WAS A FAIR MATCH BUT SORT OF STUNK. IT COULD'VE BEEN A HECK OF A LOT BETTER THAN WHAT IT WAS. UNDERTAKER TOOK IT TOO EASY ON DDP (DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE). THE MATCH NEEDED MORE BLOOD & GUTS, DAG NABBIT!!!
KURT ANGLE TOOK ON STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP. AUSTIN & ANGLE STOLE THE SHOW AS KURT RECIEVED A BRUTAL BEATING FROM THE "RATTLESNAKE" AND CAME BACK FOR MORE! AUSTIN RAMS KURT ANGLE'S HEAD INTO THE STEEL RING POST NUMEROUS TIMES. KURT ANGLE GETS REALLY BUSTED OPEN. NOT FOR THE WEAK OF STOMACH. THE ONLY HUGE LETDOWN IS THE CONCLUSION OF THIS MATCHUP, AS ANGLE IS CHEATED BY EVIL REFEREE NICK PATRICK.

THE ROCK TOOK ON BOOKER T IN A PRETTY COOL WCW CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH. THE COOLEST PART OF THIS MATCH IS WHEN THE A.P.A. COMES OUT AND BRADSHAW CLOTHESLINES THE LIVING HECK OUT OF SHANE MCMAHON!!! I THOUGHT SHANE MIGHT'VE BEEN PARILYZED FOLLOWING THE ATTACK!!! THE ROCK FINALLY FIRES BACK WITH A ROKBOTTOM ON BOOKER T AND WINS THE MATCH AND THE WCW TITLE.

GOOD PPV.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally, The Rock Returned to PPV!!!!
Review: This was the best PPV since WM17 when The Rock was suspended by Vince. There is no doubt that he was ready to return. My favorite match is BookerT/Rock cause it had everyone in the back watching to see who would win the WCW title. I enjoyed the other matches especially Austin/Angle cause everyone was watching that one as well. I recommend this to any hardcore WWE fan out there. Every PPV out on video/DVD I recommend as well. No one puts on a PPV like the WWE. Believe me, you will not be disappointed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WWE Summerslam 2001
Review: Summerslam has been well known for being an outstanding event with quality matches and storylines. This one is no different. This PPV is right in the middle of the WWE/Alliance feud and is host to a double main event with Stone Cold defending his WWE Heavyweight Championship against rising star Kurt Angle in a killer battle, and The Rock tries to win WCW gold on defending champion Booker T in a suspense filled brawl. There is lots of good stuff on the undercard too, making the event worth the time and bother. I will run through the matches and rate each one out of five (...):

WWE Intercontinental Championship - Lance Storm vs. Edge: A blinding battle as Edge and Lance Storm do a great job of pumping up the crowd in a high energy opener. Excellent grappling and fast paced false finishes call for a brilliant brawl between two of the finest wrestlers in the WWE today. ...

Test and the Dudley Boyz vs. The APA and Spike Dudley (with Molly Holly): Decent enough outing, that exceeds most peoples expections. Some good action throughout and some nice spots leading up to the finish. What was not so hot was the screwjob finish though. **1/2

WWE Light Heavy Weight and WCW Cruiserweight Championship Unification Match - X-Pac vs. Tajiri: Not bad at all with some nice kicks by both men. Lots of false finishes and good counters also. Very enjoyable battle, where not a classic, is still very good and solid throughout. ...1/4

Rhyno (with Stephanie McMahon) vs. Chris Jericho: Fair match, but is marred by lots of botched spots, as Jericho slips of the ropes several times. Still, some good action and lots of excitement lead up to a great ending, but this is somehwhat dissapointing with all the missed spots. ...P>WWE Hardcore Championship Ladder Match - Jeff Hardy vs. Rob Van Dam: Solid, if again not dissapointing clash between the two highflyers. Still a very good match by normal accounts though, as there are lots of rough ladder spots. Some missed spots aside however, another solid effort, with plenty of crowd participation. ***/3/4

WWE and WCW Tag Team Championship Unification Cage Match - The Undertaker and Kane vs. DDP and Kanyon: Awful match between the two teams, which thankfully ends a disturbing storyline. Sloppy and boring, this has the honour of worst match of the night. I did not enjoy it at all. *1/4

WWE Championship - Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold: To sum it up in one word - fantastic. Compelling action and suspense all the way and they scorch up the heat in a blood filled brawl. Best match on the card by a wide margin, definately worth getting the tape just to see this. Good, good, good match. ****3/4

WCW Championship - The Rock vs. Booker T: Good stuff here, but this match was fairly short and did not really have much time to develop. Still, excellent effort by both men and another good match in a series tonight. Not a patch on the battle beforehand, but then again, that was a match of the year candidate. ****

Overall, a excellent event. It starts off hot with a scorching opener, and finishes with two fantastic outings. With a solid card in between, you have a near perfect event. It gets four stars, as opposed to five as there are a few minor glitches to be found, such as the cage match and the slip ups in the Rhyno/Jericho. But overall, one of the best Summerslams in recent history. If you want an event even better than this (which must mean its good) go and dig up Summerslam 2000, which gets the perfect score of five stars in my opinion. But this is without a doubt worth a look.

Overall Score - Four Stars (...). Go and buy now!

Summary: wrestling fans, get this tape!
Review: This was an incredible show!! I had ordered it live on PPV just about one year ago and it was great. Best WWE(WWF) PPV I ever ordered but thats actually not saying much since it was one of the few PPVs I did infact order! :p But it truely was an incredible event. Tajiri vs. X-Pac was totally solid, excellent match-up. The stuff with The Dudleys and the APA was suprisingly pretty good. Rhyno vs. Jericho was great, AWESOME seeing Rhyno get pushed so much like that. The Hardcore Rules Ladder Match between RVD and Jeff Hardy was great but could have been better and I'm a huge RVD fan so it hurts to say that, lol, but it was still great. More of a technical showing then the promise of a "hardcore" "ladder" match in my opinion. The Angle vs. Austin series of matches pretty much made the summer, this one was one of the best. Man, they bleed and paid the price for an EXCELLENT performance in what I consider the Summer of 2001 MATCH OF THE YEAR. The WCW World Title match was a lot of good fun and was a great match as well. Get this tape if you like any part of wrestling.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Summerslam!
Review: the ic title match was a good start. the 6-man tag match was that good. the cruiserweight title match was okay. rhyno vs. y2j was good. the hardcore title ladder match between rvd and jeff hardy was great. the tag team title steel cage match was underrated. wwf title match was great, but the wcw title was still good but not that great

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO PAY PER VIEW
Review: The 2001 WWE summerslam was real good because the rock had retuned after being out of action for nearly 4 months. Here are all the matches and how they were....
#1 WWE Intercontinental Championship: Lance Storm vs Edge: Good opening match that got the crowd's attention. It was the perfect match to start the ppv event.
#2 Dudley Boyz & Test vs A.P.A. & Spike Dudley- Really great match. Spike Dudley proved that he may be small but he is tough. What I thought was pretty much exciting about their rivaly was that the A.P.A. wanting revenge on Test after he costed them the WWE Tag team Titles.
#3 WCW Cruiserwight/WWE Lightheavweight Championship: X-Pac vs Tajiri- Great perfomance between two lightheavywights although it was kind of wierd having 2 WWE superstars fighting each other when the Alliance was around.
#4 Y2J vs Rhyno (with Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley)- Awsome match because Y2J was putting all he can to beat Rhyno(Which is something he has never done)and Y2J also got to put a lip lock on Stephanie!!
#5 WWE Hordcore Championship Ladder Match: Jeff Hardy vs RVD- Proved to be a worthy rematch from INVASION and it is one of the greatest ladder matches I've ever seen. These two superstars proved to be hardcore!
#6 WWE/WCW Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Match: Undertaker & Kane (With Sara)vs DDP and Kanyon- This is one of my favorite tag teams championship matches, considering the fact that there were titles garranteed to change hands and this time there was no way for DDP to away the Undertaker. This time Undertaker was able to do anything he wanted to DDP and there was nothing that DDP could do about it because he is surrounded by steel.
#7 WWE Championship: Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Kurt Angle- The best match where I've seen Kurt Angle in. In this match he definetly used his 3 I's (Integretty, Intensety, Intelligence)It was great to see Kurt withstand 3 stunners and put forth all he can to bring the WWE title back to the WWE. The only thing dissapointing was the end of the match.
#8 WCW Championship: Booker T vs The Rock- The Rock had his eye on beating up Austin but Booker T decided to go in his way which led up to this match. The match was great, lots of good moves were used, Rock withstanded interfearence, and the WWE was counting on Rock to win this match. The end of the match was great and made up for the ending of the WWE Championship.

I thought WWE Summer Slam 2001 was great WWE Pay Per View and I think anybody else would to if they get this. So buy it.

Rating: 4 stars
