Rating: Summary: Greatest PPV of 2003 Review: Ok, so maybe the year 2003 isn't over yet, but so far this is the greatest ppv of 2003 imo, even better than WMXIX. Let's get to the matches.
Finals of the U.S. Championship Tournament - Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit. This match was awesome, better than their match at Armageddon 02. These guys put on a hell of an opener, and really showed in this match that the title they were fighting for meant something. **** out of 5 stars(it gets 4 only cause Benoit didn't win) Indecent Proposal Match - Billy Gunn vs. Jamie Noble. This match only lasted about 4 minutes, but still a good match by both men. Both men haven't been on a ppv for a while, but they put on an ok match. **1/2 The APA Invitational. This wasn't a match, it was a brawl, and not only that, it was a barroom brawl. This was basically made for all the SD wrestlers who didn't have a match for the ppv, and this match had some pretty funny stuff in it. *** SD Tag Titles - World's Greatest Tag Team vs. Kidman and Mysterio. This match was a great match, all four men pulled off some amazing stuff in this match, and the crowd was really into it. The crowd really thought Kidman and Rey would win, but in the end, they came up a little too short. But still an amazing match. ***** Stephanie vs. Sable. I'm not rating this match, because I didn't watch it, and quite frankly, I may never watch it. The Undertaker vs. John Cena. Great match by both men. I don't really take Cena too serious as a competitor, but if your the same way, this match will change your mind on that, because Cena put up a great fight in this match and Taker did the same. Both men put up a great match and it was better than I thought it would be. ***1/2 Zac Gowen vs. Mr. McMahon. What a match! I'm sure you wouldn't expect a real good match from a 50 something year old man and a one legged wrestler, but these guys did great. McMahon showed his ruthlessness in this match, trying to injure Zac's only leg, and Zac kept coming back and showed us his never give up attitude and pulled off some impressive moves. Zac Gowen deserves a push for his great abilities in the ring. **** No DQ WWE Championship Match - Brock Lesner vs. Big Show vs. Kurt Angle. Well it became no DQ later on in the ppv, so you know this was going to be a great match. I expected this match to be real good, esepcially since it had no DQ, and boy was it ever. They did some amazing stuff in that match, like an Angle Slam on big show thru the announce table, a double chokeslam by Brock and Kurt on Big Show, etc. I really didn't expect Kurt to win, but when he did, I wasn't complaining, cause Kurt is a great wrestler, probably the best, and he deserves to hold that title. ***** There are no extras on this DVD. I have heard some ppl say that this DVD sucks mainly because it has no extras, don't listen to them. Sure this dvd had no extras, but the ppv itself made up for it completely, because it's the greatest ppv I've seen this year, and it probably will be the greatest when this year ends. I really enjoyed this ppv, forget renting it, buy it, it was worth every penny. You won't regret it.
Rating: Summary: Vengeance - Better Than Mania Review: Please note that this is a review of the actual pay-per-view, and not the DVD. Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero for the US Title was a great match. Wonderful spots with the ref. 4/5 Billy Gunn vs. Jamie Noble was a good match. I'm a big Noble/Gunn fan, so I really enjoyed it. 4/5 Bar Room Brawl was OK. What you'd expect from a hardcore match with a whole lot of people. Some good comedy in this match as well. 4/5 Billy Kidman/Rey Mysterio vs. Shelton Benjamin/Charlie Haas for the WWE Tag Title was a high flying, action packed match. Kidmans Shooting Star Press to the outside was PERFECT! 5/5 for this one. Sable vs. Stephanie McMahon - Not a GOOD match, but it was interesting watching it because I wanted to see who would win. 3/5 Undertaker vs. John Cena - Another great match. Taker dominated most of the match, until Cena retaliated towards the end. 4/5 Vince McMahon vs. Zach Gowen - I wasn't expecting much out of this match, but it was incredible. Seeing what happens to Vince in this match is alone enough a reason to get this DVD. 4/5 Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show for the WWE Title - Match of the night in my opinion. Plus it was No Disqualification. Lots of near falls and some good Brock vs. Kurt action. Surprise ending! 5/5
Rating: Summary: Good show.Cheap dvd..... Review: Seeing i'm rating the dvd an not the PPV itself i give it 2 stars.In this day an age of dvd's having no extras is complete crap.Its bad enough WWE wants to make there PPV's nothing more then 3 hour smackdowns or Raws.An they charge the same for there dvd's an ppvs but are giving the fan less.They have so much footage in there vaults that not using some of the old footage makes me sick.If they don't think adding extras of todays footage is worth the trouble,then how about digging up classic stuff as extras.SuperStar Billy Graham was at summerslam,,lets see some classic Superstar Graham footage on the summerslam dvd.Its better then having nothing making the dvd less worth buying.....
Rating: Summary: Easily the best ppv of 2003 as from now!! Review: Smackdown! brand is definetely the best!! If you are a pure wrestling fan like RoH, NWA/TNA and a few wrestling matches that the WWE can give to us... that one is a must-buy!! I loved all from the beginning to the end except the Cena/Taker match but it was okay, surprisly ending! It was a lot better than the 1st ppv of raw who was simply BAD in my book!!! Thanks to the WWE to give me great ppvs like that at least 1 time per year!! ;-)
Rating: Summary: Oh my Goodness! Review: That's all really all I can say for the title for the awesome breath-taking PPV that was Smackdown's Vengeance. On paper it looked lackluster but wow, what a show it was. The matches were: -Vengeance Intro -Eddie Guerrero v. Chris Benoit (US Title Tourney Final) I loved this match but the ending kind of blew it. -Jamie Noble v. Billy gunn w/ Torrie Wilson: quite entertaining but really short. -APA Barroom Brawl : if you just like scientific technical wrestling you will probably hate this but most people love entertaining segments. -WWE Tag Title Match : good match , execellent Smackdown! quality -Steph v. Sable : at first I thought this would be so bad but it was above expectations -Zach Gowen v. Vinnie Mac: wow bloody , very inspirational -Taker v. Cena : ok match I guess, still pretty good -Angle v. Show v. Lesnar : Amazing! The reason this incredible pay per view event did not receive the deserved five stars because this is a rating on the DVD release. Which am I blind or is there absolutely no extra features at all?
Rating: Summary: hmmmmmmm Review: the dvd was only 2 hours and 49 min. no extra's and the upc to get the wwe box was not inside.. i dont think it was worth 20$ ....
Rating: Summary: I'm Sick Of Separate Brands!! Review: The harder hitting, more involving wrestlers make PPV's worth it - also stipulations can make them great as well - Indecent Proposal Match - 0 stars (Billy Gunn vs. Jamie Noble) - Why is it so many people lose because of stupidity - Funny how shocked Torrie looked after she found out that she'd have to spend the night with a hick! WWE Tag-Team Title Match - 2 stars (WG Tag-Team Airheads vs. Mysterio/Kidman) - Could & should have ended differently - Lots of odd manuevers by Kidman/Mysterio Undertaker vs. John Cena - 3 stars - I can't believe no one has tried to pull Taker off the the top-rope by doing his Old School? - Taker totally kicked Cena's bad rapping a** - Someone should break Cena's vocal cords! APA Barroom Brawl Invite - 3 stars - Funny, lots of drinking, broken sh**, and the APA win! US Title Finals - 3 stars - Great back & forth match, lots of offense - I kind of knew Rhyno would turn on Benoit, he's like that! Vince McMahon vs. Zach Gowen - 1 star - Kid has spunk, but hardly any body; he'll lose alot - At least we all got to see Vince busted open, by a gimp! 3-Threat/NO DQ/WWE Title Match - 4 stars - This match should have been a no-brainer for anyone to make - Big Show angleslammed through the announce table! - Great action, really kept me watching, Angle wins (again)* Hope this helps a little, sorry for some comments! But one more thing, that Steph vs. Sable fight - weak, lame (so totally not anything)
Rating: Summary: Disappointing DVD Review: The PPV had a couple of stand-out matches as mentioned in other reviews, but the DVD is a dud with no dark matches, no interviews, no extras at all. This type of DVD production on the cheap is unacceptable.
Rating: Summary: Eddie Guerrero v. Chris Benoit/ Undertaker v. John Cena Review: The U.S. Championship has been held by such greats as Ric Flair, Sting and Bret Hart. But when WCW went away, so did the prestigious title. That is, until when WWE revived the U.S. Championship at Vengeance 2003. In a classic battle, Eddie Guerrero battled Chris Benoit to determine the new U.S. Champion.
In his time with WWE, John Cena has gained much popularity, as well as an impressive win/loss record. However, at the time of Vengeance 2003, Cena was just a young superstar beginning to make a name for himself. Watch as the Doctor of Thuganomics steps into Undertaker's yard to battle a legend.
