Rating: Summary: Vengeance 2003!!! Review: This is Mudd. This Smackdown!'s first ever PPV and it was pretty awesome. This PPV was truly a great event and it delivered.
Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero for the U.S. Title. I am a tough grader and this match was just unbelieveable. Eddie wins the U.S. Title thanks to Rhyno. Possible Match of the Year Canidate. (9.5/10)
Billy Gunn vs. Jaime Noble this match was boring and I didn't find it any what exciting and Noble wins the match. (4.5/10)
APA Invintational was a sick brutal fight and it has some crazy stunts that you think can only be done in a video game. This was an awesome fight I watch all the time. (8/10)
World's Greatest Tag Team vs. Rey Mysterio & Billy Kidman for the WWE Tag Titles. This was great but not as good as the U.S. Title match. I though Kidman & Mysterio were gonna be the new Tag Team champs but the World's greatest Tag Team retained. (9.5/10)
Sable vs. Stephanie McMahon was a good fight until A-Train came down and beat Steph to a pulp and then Sable covers Steph to win the match. (6/10)
Undertaker vs. John Cena was a great match put on but Cena doesn't do such a good job of selling Taker's moves. Taker wins with a Last Ride on Cena. (8/10)
Vince McMahon vs. Zach Gowen was a great match and Vince bled really bad and he still beat Gowen. I have never seen Vince bleed like that before. (7.5/10)
Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show No Disqualifications for the WWE Title. This was a good match and it was better then the Hell In A Cell a Bad Blood. Angle steals away the WWE Title. (8.5/10)
This is so far the best PPV of 2003!! This is a must have to add to your collection.
Rating: Summary: Better Than Mania? Review: This PPV surprised me. The matches did not look very good, but the wrestlers sure in hell pulled through. Matches: Rated out of 5 *'s *= dreadful **= flawed but worthy ***= good ****= memorable *****= Awesome! Must SEEMatches: Finals of the United States Championship Tournament: Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit Great Match. Almost 25 minutes long!!! Main event material. Slighlty dissapointing ending with Rhyno goring benoit giving Guerrero the win brings this match down to a ****8/10 Jamie Noble vs. Billy Gunn (w/ Torrie Wilson) Torrie Wilson looked hot on the outside. Couldn't really pay attention to the dull 3 minute match with torrie on the outside. The match was ok, but I don't really like either of these men, just torrie, lol. Just because torrie was there, i give this ***. If torrie wasnt there, it would be about *1/2 First-ever APA Barroom Brawl: Doink the Clown vs. Brother Love vs. Matt Hardy vs. John and Matt from Tough Enough III vs. Bradshaw vs. many others This match just gave you a little intermission from the real wrestling. funny match with the easter bunny. Why did Bradshaw win!?!? because of the ending, this match in **1/2 Tag Team Championship: TWGTT vs. Rey Mysterio & Billy Kidman Very fast paced exciting match. However, it was missing something. I am not sure what, but the match never had a turning point. Amazing shooting star press on TWGTT by Kidman. ****7/10 Zach Gowen vs. Mr. McMahon Very bloody match. Much better than I expected. Zach Gowen isn't half bad. McMahon almost lost, but it was obvious he would win in the end. pretty good match *** Stephanie McMahon vs. Sable One of the best women matches ever! They actually wrestled. Both women were almost topless, and A-Train interfered. Very good match except the ending. Sable wins. *** New School vs. Old School John Cena vs. Undertaker Great match. The right man went down. Great wrestling, one of Cena's best matches. Although this match was awesome, it was a little slow. Undertaker wins. ****7/10 Triple Threat for the WWE Championship: Big Show vs. Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar Wonderful match. Best of the night. Finally, a worthy main event. Great Hardcore match with mostly only lesnar and angle involved. Show was the only thing that slowed it down a bit, but luckily he was not involved too much. The ending happened to fast with hardly any finishers. Angle becomes the new WWE Champion. Big Show brings this down to a ****9/10 I give this PPV *****, but the dvd ****1/2 i saw this ppv on t.v. and i loved it, but when i bought it, i realized there were no extras! This ppv was amazing but the dvd was a little dissapointing. I was expecting there to be United States Tournament matches. No extras was indeed a setback, but the matches make up for it. This PPV might have been better than Wrestlemania XIX! Despite the lack of extras, this is still a must own for the dedicated WWE FAn. No Matches slowed this PPV down, it was all fast paced action wrestling. *****!!!!

Rating: Summary: vengeance 2003 review Review: US Championship Tournament Final Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit I was a bit surpirsed to see this be the first match of the night, but it didnt fail. some awesome displays by both wrestlers. at the end, rhyno came out and gored his then friend benoit, which helped eddie come out victorious. easily one of the best matches of the night. 4.5/5 Jamie Noble vs. Billy Gunn this match was alright, but it was a bit short. it was pretty easy to predict who was going to win. if jamie won, he got a chance to sleep with torrie wilson. and he did win. nothing i'd wanna watch over again 2.5/5 APA Invataional superstars in this match included APA, Matt Hardy, Shannon Moore, Spanky, Kanyon, Basham Brothers, Sean O'Haire, Dionk The Clown, The Easter Bunny(yes, The Easter Bunny) and Brother Love This match was here purely for one reason. comedy. the easter bunny going through the window, hilaious! good for a laugh. 3.5/5 WWE Tag Team Championship Rey Mysterio & Billy Kidman vs. Worlds Greatest Tag Team(Champions) this match was good. awesome moves mysterios. watch out for the shooting star press kidman does from the middle of the top rope to the outside of the ring. brilliant. the champions retained their title 4/5 Sable vs Stephanie McMahon i wouldnt say this was a good match, but it was surprisingly good for a womens match. 2/5 Undertaker vs. John Cena this match was one of the best of the night. undertaker won, but was the one who left the arena a bloody mess. 4/5 Zach Gowen vs. Vince McMahon zach gowen fights really well for a guy with one leg. i liked this match, but i didnt REALLY like it. vince wins, but zach manages the bust him open with a chair shot that gave vince 16 stiches. just looked at the blood. gruesome! 3.5/5 Triple Threat Match WWE Championship Big Show vs. Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar (Champion) the best match of the night. brilliant triple threat action. this was also a no DQ match. so many great displays. kurt angles slams big show the spanish announcers table. angle wins my pinning brock after an angle slam. awesome 5/5
Rating: Summary: first great smackdown ppv! Review: Vengeance 2003 was a great ppv! The four standout matches were Undertaker vs. John Cena, The tag team championship match between the worlds greatest tag team and Mysterio/Kidman. Guerreo vs. Benoit. And the great triple threat main event between The Big Show,Kurt Angle, and Brock Lesnar. Overall Vengeance 2003 was the first great Smackdown pay-per-view!
Rating: Summary: Vengeance - One of the best ppv's of 2003 Review: Vengeance the first Smackdown only ppv was probably the best ppv of 2003, behind WrestleMania!! Match 1) U.S. Title Match: Guerrero v Benoit: Tied for one of the best matches of the night!! 5/5 Match 2) Indecent Proposal Match: Gunn v Noble: If Noble wins he gets to sleep with Torrie on Smackdown. Match was good, but could have been better. 3/5 Match 3) Barroom Brawl: Brawl includes participants: APA, Sean O'Haire, Funaki, Bashams, Matt Hardy, Shannon Moore, Brother Love, Doink the Clown, and the Easter Bunny - to name a few. Match was probably the worst of the night. Crowd not into it at all. Had no real point at all. 1/5 Match 4) Tag Title Match: World's Greatest Tag Team v Rey Mysterio/Billy Kidman: Another one of the best matches of the night. Match was great with great action but should have been longer. 5/5 Match 5) Stephanie v Sable: Match was not bad but not good. About what you would expect from these two. Had a bad ending though. 3/5 Match 6) Undertaker v Cena: Very good match. Not the best of the night, but very good. 5/5 Match 7) Vince v Zach Gowen: Good match. Gowen does a very good job! Better than I thought it would be. 4/5 Match 8) WWE Title Triple Threat Match: Lesnar v Angle v Big Show: Very good match. Tied for best of the night. Ending was very good and very surprising. Match should have been longer but was very good! 5/5 Very good ppv, I would recommend it to anyone who loves the WWE!
Rating: Summary: Great 1st PPV from Smackdown Brand... Review: Vengeance was a great show put on by the Smackdown wrestlers. Do not believe the results given by the writer from boston they are totally wrong. The U.S. Title Match kicks off the show Benoit vs Eddy, perfect match to start the ppv with.**** Billy Gunn vs Jamie Knoble regular match ** APA's bar-room brawl, dumb but sorta funny * The Tag Title Match was very good **** Sable/Steph put on a decent match given the 2 arent wrestlers ** John Cena vs Taker pretty good fight *** Zach vs Vince good match with some nice spots by Zach the kid has some guts, also vince gets cut open pretty bad *** WWE Title match: Brock vs Angle vs Big Show honestly was a pretty damn good match *** All together very good PPV worth buying, maybe the best PPV the WWE has put on this year.
Rating: Summary: 1st Smackdown! only PPV delivers in a BIG way Review: Vengeance was just awesome. It blows RAW's pay-per-view Bad Blood away. Not a bad match on the card either. Here's the rundown, from best to worst. 1. United States Championship (Finals): Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit ***** -Awesome match, match of the year in my opinion. Outdid their Armageddon match big time. 2. WWE Tag Team Championship: World's Great Tag Team[c] vs. Billy Kidman & Rey Mysterio ***** -Another awesome match, this might be the greatest tag-team match......ever! Big ups to both teams for a sweet match. 3. No Disqualification Match for the WWE Championship: Brock Lesnar[c] vs. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show ***** -Yet another great match (there are a lot of these). It was No Diqualification too, meaning trash can lids, chairs, everything you can imagine used in this match. Plus, a new WWE Champion is crowned! 4. Undertaker vs. John Cena ****1/2 -Brutal match. Blood was spilled and 'Taker was nearly beat to a bloody pulp. I loved every second of this match. Just goes to show, Undertaker's in better shape than he's ever been in. 5. Zach Gowen vs. Vince McMahon **** -Good way to push Zach, right Vince? No, despite Zach's first loss---to Vince of all people, both still delivered a solid contest. Zach did asai moonsaults and risked life and limb to deliver a top-quality performance at Vengeance. Unfortunately, Vince didn't follow suit and Zach had to carry him almost the entire match. 6. APA Invitational Brawl ***1/2 -A stupid concept, but this match wasn't too bad. Bradshaw, Faarooq, Sean O' Haire, Matt Hardy, Spanky, and the Easter Bunny (yes, the Easter Bunny) were all involved. Plus, many others. It was basically just a match with people hitting eachother over the head with whatever they could find. Not a bad match though. 7. Indecent Proposal: Billy Gunn w/ Torrie vs. Jamie Knoble w/ Nidia ***1/2 -Not too bad of a match. Gunn gave forth a solid performance. Knoble did the same. Nothing special here. Very predictable ending. 8. Catfight: Stephanie McMahon vs. Sable ***1/2 -Great hype, okay match. As far as catfights go, this one wasn't bad. But defenitley didn't come close to the hype. BoTTom LinE: Great pay-per-view. After Wrestlemania XIX, be sure to buy this one! I strongly recommend this DVD.
Rating: Summary: Awesome!!!!!!!! Review: Was greatly suprised by this ppv. figured it wouldn't be any good. I admit I was wrong. was the best ppv of 2003 up to that point. equal to wrestlemania. much better than bad blood & insurrextion. smackdown has the upper hand on raw at this point. only found 2 flaws in this ppv. one was women's match & no extras on dvd. why? they had 2 mo. worth of material to show. what about U.S. title tournament? was a great disappointment but doesn't take away from ppv. FINALS OF U.S. CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT CHRIS BENOIT VS EDDIE GUERRERO 8/10- excellent match. these 2 know how to put on a show. great to see eddie getting a push as a singles wrestler. great opener. could have been a main event easily. APA INVITATIONAL BARROOM BRAWL 5/10- involved APA, SEAN O' HAIRE, MATT HARDY, F.B.I, SHANNON MOORE, SPANKY, KANYON, BASHAM BROS. FUNAKI, EASTER BUNNY, DOINK THE CLOWN, BRO. LOVE, JOHN & MATT FROM TOUGH ENOUGH III, BROOKLYN BRAWLER, LOS CONQUISTADORS & ORLANDO JORDAN. concept very similar to gimmick battle royal @ wrestlemania 17. funny & nostalgic. good to see some guys from the past come back. gave other smackdown guys a chance to be on ppv. not a classic but entertaining. should have put RODDY PIPER & RIKISHI in it. INDECENT PROPOSAL MATCH JAMIE NOBLE VS BILLY GUNN(IF NOBLE WINS, GETS A NIGHT WITH TORRIE WILSON) 4/10- was way too short. these 2 should have gotten more time. noble is talented, but is wasted acting like a pervert. too much soap opera here. glad gunn could come back after long layoff, but needs to be in tag team. WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS VS BILLY KIDMAN & REY MYSTERIO 10/10- awesome match. should be a candidate for match of the year. these 4 are on the way up the ladder. almost stole the show. glad to see benjamin & haas dump team angle gimmick. didn't like these 2 when they 1st started, but am impressed more & more. SABLE VS STEPHANIE MCMAHON 0/10- horrible! awful! went from tag match to this? should have come up with something better than this. a waste of 12 minutes. JOHN CENA VS UNDERTAKER 9/10- old school vs new school. best match from undertaker in a good while. cena is getting better & better. needs to tone down his act a little with the crowd. MR. MCMAHON VS ZACH GOWEN 9/10- a historic moment in wrestling history; a one legged wrestler. didn't think this would be good, but was suprised. Gowen is awesome because of his courage & perseverance. not happy with the taunting & mockery of a handicapped person. very untasteful. great ending. a must see. TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR WWE CHAMPIONSHIP BROCK LESNAR VS BIG SHOW VS KURT ANGLE 10/10- glad to see angle return. been missing him. a match of the year maybe. no ring rust from angle. big show seems to be rising to the occasion lately. a must see. overall, smackdown hits a grand slam with vengeance.
Rating: Summary: not too bad of a pay per view... Review: well the vengeance 2003 ppv was a pretty good one. undertaker and cena was a great match. and the lesnar/big show/angle match should be on a greatest match for any of these three guys. however if there was only one complaint, it might be the apa bar fight. i'm not disrespecting the guys, however a real bar would of sufficed. but over all a pretty kick butt and take not names pay per view. highly recommend it. and finally a pay per view without some kind of bra and panties/chocolate pudding/whipcream/ match. lol. maybe that's why i rate it so good.
