Summary: AWESOME!!!!!!!
Review: what a way for smackdown to kick off their 1st ppv. blew bad blood out of the water. smackdown owns raw so far. vengeance was equal to wrestlemania as the best so far in 2003. was expecting a sorry effort but got a 5 star ppv. the only downside to the dvd was their weren't any special features. why did wwe do this?
they had 2 months worth of material such as u.s. title tournament matches on smackdown.

U.S TITLE TOURNAMENT FINAL
CHRIS BENOIT VS EDDIE GUERRERO 8/10- what a way to kick off this ppv with a great match. slow start to it, but it picked up and finished strong. suprise ending.

APA INVITATIONAL BARROOM BRAWL 5/10- this featured APA, F.B.I., BASHAM BROTHERS, LOS CONQUISTADORS, JOHN & MATT FROM TOUGH ENOUGH III, ORLANDO JORDAN, BROOKLYN BRAWLER, SHANNON MOORE, FUNAKI, BROTHER LOVE, DOINK THE CLOWN, KANYON, EASTER BUNNY, SPANKY, MATT HARDY & SEAN O' HAIRE. no great classic here, but very entertaining. several funny spots in it. reminded me of gimmick battle royal @ wrestlemania 17. bringing in some of the yesteryear guys was a good idea to make it funny. allowed some guys to be on ppv who never get the chance to. should have included rikishi & roddy piper.

INDECENT PROPOSAL MATCH
JAMIE NOBLE VS BILLY GUNN 4/10- [...] gunn is better at tag team wrestling. could have been much better.

WWE TAG TEAM TITLE
SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS VS BILLY KIDMAN & REY MYSTERIO 10/10- a match of the year candidate. great exhibit of what wrestling should be. glad to see benjamin & haas shed team angle gimmick. kidman & mysterio should team up more.

SABLE VS STEPHANIE MCMAHON 0/10- awful. terrible. why was this even on ppv? these 2 have no talent whatsoever. ending was stupid.

JOHN CENA VS UNDERTAKER 9/10- great match here. cena gets better every time. undertaker's best performance in a while. like cena as a wrestler but he needs to tone down his act.

MR. MCMAHON VS ZACH GOWEN 9/10- didn't expect much here but got suprised. this match has a lot of historical precedence. gowen is the 1st handicapped wrestler ever. to even stand on one leg much less wrestle is amazing. kid did moves most people with 2 legs couldn't do. great ending. a must see. disappointed that vince would make fun of the handicapped. i know it's a show, but shows a lack of character on his part as the owner of the co.

WWE TITLE IN TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
BROCK LESNAR VS BIG SHOW VS KURT ANGLE 10/10- another a match of the year candidate. glad to see angle back. even big show contributed to the match instead of hindering it. a classic back & forth match. seem like the time flew in this one.

looking forward to future smackdown events.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Smackdown presents WWE Vengeance
Review: WWE Championship-
While the Big Show was suffering from the after effects of an Angle Slam, Angle covered Lesnar to capture the Championship.

Taker vs. John Cena-
With obvious internal injuries, the Undertaker pinned John Cena after a Last Ride Powerbomb.

Stephanie vs. Sable-
Despite having her top almost completely ripped off, Sable pinned Stephanie, with a little help from A-Train

Vince vs. Zach Gowen-
A bloodied Vince McMahon defeated Zach Gowen via pinfall.

Eddie Guerrero def. Chris Benoit in the finals of the United States Championship Tournament-
The victory came after Rhyno interfered on behalf of Guerrero, goring Benoit.

Jamie Noble def. Billy Gunn-
Pre match stipulations state that Torrie Wilson will now have to sleep with Jamie Noble this Thursday on Smackdown!

And a few more matches not worth mentioning about! Overall get it!

---
This DVD could be great as they could include a second disc including Smackdown! Us Title tournament but unfortunately the WWE are likely to make another mistake and make all the special features Triple H matches and build-ups (joking) but seriously judging on the other DVDs the special features will include Post Match and Pre-Match Interviews, Velocity Matches and Segments and maybe a special US Title match or something maybe the first title defense Harley Race vs. Johnny Valentine and probably some highlights of the US Tournament or they'll just put that in the build-up and they'll have PPV promos and ads which are pretty pointless but nice to have.

Looks like a good PPV with good possibilites but some things will slow the PPV down like A-Train, Big Show, Doink, Brawler, Easter Bunny (?), Gowen, Gunn, Taker (my favourite wrestler), women's match but besides that the tag match will be speedy and the main event minus Show will be technical as will Eddie vs. Benoit :D.

Summary: WWE Vengeance 2003 from Denver, Colorado
Review: WWE Vengeance was good. SmackDown! PPV's are usually better than RAW PPVs.
1. WWE United States Championship: Eddie Guerrero vs Chris Benoit - Great match. Almost 30 minutes long! I'm tired of Benoit. Nice lowrider Eddie had. Rhyno Gored Benoit which helped Eddie win the WWE U.S. Title. Great match. ****
2. Jamie Noble vs Billy Gunn - Good match. Torrie looked HOT! Jamie winning the match w/ the briefcase was cool. The skit w/ Jamie "sleeping" with Torrie on SmackDown! that week was hilarious! **
3. APA Bar Room Brawl - Great brawl! Seeing Doink the Clown was great! I haven't seen him since WM X-SEVEN. Bradshaw winning the brawl kinda sucked. **
4. WWE Tag Team Chamionship: The World's Greatest Tag Team vs Kidman/Mysterio - Great match. Exciting when Kidman did the Shooting Star Press to TWGTT outside of the ring. Haas & Benjamin wrestle with great class. TWGTT won the match. ***
5. Stephanie McMahon vs Sable - Great match! I love seeing Steph in her wrestling gear, and Sable was HOT! Good match with Steph actually wrestling. Worst ending when A-Train attacked Steph and Sable got the win. I wish we could've seen Sable's chest but the damn ref gave her his shirt. ****
6. Zach Gowen vs Vince McMahon - Great match! Sucked when Vicne got the win, but he was bleeding like crap! Zach Gowen did his spectacular moonsault one-legged. I give this match **1/2
7. John Cena vs Undertaker - John Cena showing his great strength again. Doing the F-U to 'Taker. John Cena makes a great heel. 'Taker did his "Old School" move which makes everyone happy. Undertaker got the win making this match ****1/2.
8. WWE Championship: Big Show vs Kurt Angle vs Brock Lesnar - Great triple threat match! A little of a repeat from 2002's Vengeance. Only with 2 different people. The ending was great when Kurt did the Angle Slam. That made the match feel kind of short. It made up for 2002's Vengeance because I wanted Angle to win but he lost to The Rock. But Angle won the title this time. I give this match *****.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best PPV of the Year
Review: Yeah, so it was SmackDown! only, but does anyone really care about Triple H anymore.

Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero (U.S. Title) - Great Match, but what else would you expect from these two? The Finish is a little silly though.

Jamie Noble vs. Billy Gunn - Not good but not bad. Billy Gunn let's all face it, is not that good. But he did alright here, considering that it wasn't a long match.

APA Invitational - I was expecting guys randomly walking around punching each other and that's just what I got. But it was kind of funny.

The World's Greatest Tag Team (Benjamin & Haas) vs. Rey Mysterio & Billy Kidman (Tag Team Titles) - Awesome Match. High Flying action and technical wrestling, what more could you ask for? Match was Awsome. -

Stephanie vs. Sable - The only downside of the show. Terrible. Just Terrible. Not even a bit decent. At least Stephanie vs. Trish from 2001 had some energy. - DUD

John Cena vs. Undertaker - Nothing bad to say, other than Cena should have gone over as the winner. Great match for Undertaker

Zack Gowan vs. Vince McMahon - Just as good as an Old Guy vs. a Cripple was going to be. Zack Gowan is going to fade away fast though so this match doesn't really matter anyway.

Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show vs. Kurt Angle (WWE Title) - Great Match. Angle and Lesnar have the best matches together. Big Show wasn't in it enough to bug me.

By far the best PPV of the year. With all the matches ranging from Decent to Excellent (except for one) this has to be one of the greatest PPVs in the promotion's history. Well worth the money.
