Summary: Two Great Title Matches
Review: Fatal Four-Way for the World Tag Team Titles
Chris Jericho & Christian vs. William Regal & Lance Storm vs. Dudley Boyz vs. Booker T & Goldust
A mild surprise here as this match was a good way to start the show. Lots of action and energy put this over the top of mediocrity.

Edge vs. A-Train
Not too bad but a typical tv style match.

Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero
These two just know how to make a great match. No matter how many times they've wrestled each other it's always a good one.

Kane vs. Batista
Batista was still too green at this point and the match hurts as a result. Boring.

Triple-Threat Match for the Women's Championship
Victoria vs. Trish Stratus vs. Jacqueline
How many times can we see the same people wrestle on ppv? I guess just ask HHH.

WWE Championship
Big Show vs. Kurt Angle
Excellent match. Best of Show's career I think. High impact and intensity in this one.

2-Out-of-3-Falls
1st Fall-Street Fight
2nd Fall-Steel Cage
3rd Fall-Ladder Match
Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H
WOW! What can you say about this one. Street fight was the longest but they brought out a Mick Foley favorite for the occaision. Amazing brutality and performances by both men. Match of the year candidate.

Review: Fatal- Four Way for World Tag Team Titles
Chris Jericho & Christian vs. Booker T & Goldust vs. The Dudley Boyz vs. William Regal & Lance Storm

Good Match,very fast until the Dudley Boyz and Regal/Storm leave, Book and Goldy brought what it takes to win the titles. ****

Edge vs. A- Train

Slow offense by A- Train, not very good.
**

Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero
If you look for a classic, you say Benoit/Guerrero at Armageddon. A lot of finishers, counters, shots, a match of pure technic, also displaying agility and brutal force. Had it all.*****

Dawn Marie & Torrie Wilson Footage was shown. This women are hot, man. I canÂ't tell you how it was, you have to watch it.

Kane vs. Batista w/ Ric Flair
A match made just to show the world what Batista can do. He showed strength.Too short. ***

Triple Threat Match for WomenÂ's Championship
Trish Stratus vs. Victoria (c) vs. Jazz
Boring. We could watch something like this every Monday on Raw

WWE Championship
Big Show w/ Paul Heyman vs. Kurt Angle
Very good match with cool spots. Considering how death was Ft. Lauderdale crowd, people was into it. A lot of finishers, Angle Slam on Big Show, Brock interfering and people getting crazy.Great Match. ****

World Heavyweight Championship
2-out-of 3 Falls: 1st Fall Street Fight, 2nd Fall Cage Match 3rd Fall Ladder Match

Amazing encounter. First fall was great and also merciless. We saw the came back of the Cactus JackÂ's Barbed Wire bat, second fall was short but great, and third fall was disturbing with Michaels falling from the ladder. Amazing Sports- Entertainment classic. *****

DVD Extras:
Interviews with Angle, Benoit, Victoria and Booker & Goldy. Also incluiding Fatal Four Way to determine the # 1 Contender on Smackdown! between Angle, Benoit, Edge and Eddie

Review: four-way elimination match for world tag-team titles.Dudle boyz vs Cris Jericho and christian vs Booker T and Goldust vs Lance Storm and William Regal.An ok match. It could of been better if Christian had not of cheated and if people didn't come in and brake up the count.4/5

Edge vs A-Train.Great but it could of been better if A-Train didn't hit Edge with a chair.Should of been longer.I'm also glad Edge got his revenge.5/5

Chris Benoit vs Eddie Guerrero.This was a very good match. Because it was very competive and because of kicking out of the Frog Splas and the Diving Headbut.4/5

Kane vs Batista.Not a great match because Ric Flair kept interfiering with Kanes pin count.To short.3/5

triple treat womens championship match.Trish Stratus vs Victoria vs jackie.Would of been beter if Trish would of one and Victoria not using the belt to win.Worse match of the night.2/5

wwe championship match. Big Show vs Kurt Angle.A great match.I'm so glad Angle landed on Heyman.Leasnar coming out at the end to F-5 Show so Angle would win the title.

world heavyweight match two-out-of-three falls match.Fist fall was a street fight.Second fallis a Cage match.The last fall was a ladder match.It was the best math of the night.The street fight was ok but better if HBK won.Cage match was awesome!A lot of wepons.Shawn splasing HHH through a table.I hated the ladder match.HBK gettingknocked of through four tables.

Summary: A Good PPV
Review: I bought this PPV for no particular reason. It just looked good. It didn't dissapoint.

4-way elimination match for the raw tag titles
chris jericho & christian (c) vs. booker t & goldust vs. the dudley boyz vs. lance storm & william regal
Average match. Good action but sloppy eliminations of the 1st 2 teams. Good ending. *** out of *****.

edge vs. a-train
Not very good. Too short of a buildup to really be exciting. It did have some high spots and at least it was short. **

chris benoit vs. eddie guerrero
An excellent match. No real storyline between these guys. Just 2 excellent athletes. Stole the show. *****

kane vs. batista
Terrible. No buildup. Boring. Bad ending. Skip it. *

triple threat womens title match
trish stratus vs. victoria (c) vs. jacqueline
A good match. I always like the womens matches. Good buildup too. My only complaints with this one were that it was too short and the ending wasn't too good. ***

wwe smackdown title
big show (c) vs. kurt angle
I liked this one too. Good buildup, good action, false finishes, and I like both these guys. Good ending too. ****1/2.

2 out of 3 falls for wwe raw title
triple h vs. shawn michaels (c)
A classic. I love 2 out of 3 falls matches. Excellent, long buildup. Suspense. High spots. 2 great wrestlers. Great finishes. Great athletic moves. Long enough. False finishes. Even better than their Summerslam match. Perfection. The best match of the night. *****

As for extras:
Interviews with Benoit, Angle, Victoria, & Booker T/Goldust. Also a 4-way elimination match from smackdown between Angle, Edge, Benoit, and Guerrero.

A good PPV overall. I'd reccomend it but it's not a must-buy. If you want quality entertainment here you go. It's a good way to spend your money.

Review: I was live at this event, and haven't seen the DVD yet. The show was fantaastic, and from the first match to the last, kept you on your toes. A necessary addition to any wrestling fan's library.

Summary: The End of Great WWE PPV's Was 'Near'
Review: Looking at this card, it appears that this would be a great PPV. In fact, the back of the cover is very deceiving. Sure the end was near, but it was the end of very solid and even PPV of the year caliber events from the WWE.

World Tag Team Championship-Four Team Elimination Match:

William Regal & Lance Storm vs. Booker T and Goldust vs. Jericho & Christian vs. The Dudley Boyz

If only the WWE could use the formula that they already know on how to start a PPV strong into all of the events. Once again, great opener and a surprising ending, although the winners were only able to momentarily savor their victory.
*** stars.

Edge vs. A-Train

Seeing as how Albert's, ring performance has greatly improved since using the name A-Train, I was thinking that this would be a solid match. However, this lacked in various ways with the ending not helping the cause and certainly not setting up for a big rivalry. What was the point to this match, now that I think of it? ** stars.

Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero

A straight wrestling match, which proved why these superstars are one of the most sound technical wrestlers
in the business. A great contest. *** stars.

Kane vs. Batista

Okay. I have come to the conclusion that Kane can no longer compete in a great match. PPV after PPV, he disappoints. Batista was just as bad. This was a match that I was looking forward to but I am very disappointed. * star.

Women's Championship:

Victoria vs. Trish Stratus vs. Jacqueline

Decent match. It's what I've come to expect from these three. Interesting ending. **1/2 stars.

WWE Championship:

Big Show vs. Kurt Angle

Looking at this match on paper, you would think twice about watching it, but actually both superstars performed extremely well. A great finish, which later sets up a rivalry and the current storyline. *** stars.

World Championship-2 out of 3 Falls:

Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H

The first fall seemed a bit long and it took a while for it to really get going. Very exciting when the match did pick up. ***1/2 stars.

The second fall was more entertaining, yet very short. Not too much high risk, but still a good effort. *** stars.

The third and deciding fall was, in my opinion only about seven minutes and was getting good until it had ended. It definitely left you wanting more. Disappointing in that respect. **3/4 stars. Overall match rating: ***stars.

Good card with very little to show for it. The WWE has really went downhill since then and let's hope that they can find a way to rebound from all these lackluster events.

Summary: Not a lot of matches but a quality event!!!
Review: Match 1: Elimination 4-Way Match: World Tag Titles: Chris Jericho & Christian vs. Booker T & Goldust vs. William Regal & Lance Storm vs. Dudley Boyz: Great match, it set the tone for the rest of the event. Only problem was it was a long match and it seemed to bore you a little but once Regal & Storm and the Dudleyz are gone, the match gets better. 7/10

Match 2: Edge vs. A-Train: Looked like another boring Smackdown match but actually turned out to be a fairly good match especially when Edge goes wild on A-Train after the A-Train's gets DQ. 8/10

Match 3: Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guererro: Actually this was the match that actually stole the show. One of my favorites. Great technical moves until Chavo to help his tag partner and uncle Eddie. But Benoit had a good match and proved that everyone is prone to tap to the Crossface. 9/10

Match 4: Kane vs. Batista: To quote Stone Cold Steve Austin: BORING!!! BORING!!! 2/10

Match 5: Triple Threat: Women's Title: Victoria vs. Jacqueline vs. Trish Stratus: Not a bad match, too short and you know who is going to win the match. 6/10

Match 6: WWE Title: Kurt Angle vs. Big Show: Big Show dominated for most of the match. Kurt put up a great fight but I was going to be shocked if he won but you knew that Brock was going to "make a impact" in the match but regardless, its great to see the Big Show lose. 9/10

Match 7: 2 out of 3 falls: World Title: Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels: Great match, street fight not as good as the street fight at Summerslam but the Cage Match is tremendous when Flair comes out and HBK beats the hell out of both Hunter and Flair and the Ladder Match was a classic. Just when you think HBK was going to retain the title. Triple H makes his former best friend for a ride but I'm not going to ruin it for anyone, your going to have to see the event to know what I'm talking about. This gets the highest of all ratings for the match 9 1/2 out of 10.

Summary: Great Pay-Per-View
Review: Match 1: Elimination 4-Way Match: World Tag Titles: Chris Jericho & Christian vs. Booker T & Goldust vs. William Regal & Lance Storm vs. Dudley Boyz
This was a long match, 16 or 17 minutes long. A very good match. The first 2 teams were eliminated in about 5 minutes, up until then the action got started quickly and kept going. The final 2 teams were Jericho & Christian and Booker & Goldust. Shortly after 2 teams were eliminated, Goldust got double teamed for a while in the least exciting part of the match, but Goldust tags Booker, and the rest of the match is only Booker T & Jericho. They put on a great show, And Booker & Goldust finally win the tag titles. 9/10

Match 2: Edge vs. A-Train (Albert)
This was a typical big man vs. small man match. It had a reasonable pace, with the occasional interesting move. A-Train does some impressive powerful moves - like the Baldo Bomb, and Edge uses quickness. A good match overall, but it ends in a DQ which is rare for a PPV non-title match. 7.5/10

Match 3: Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guererro
If you like flawless technical wrestling, then you'll love this. It lasted nearly 17 minutes. The start was basically all technical holds, but it then picked up and became a very good match. 9/10

Match 4: Kane vs. Batista
Fairly slow match, with a few impressive moves. Pretty good for a big man match. All power moves really. 7.5/10

Match 5: Triple Threat: Women's Title: Victoria vs. Jacqueline vs. Trish Stratus
A short 4-minute match, not bad, but it could've been a lot better. The women's division was quite strong at this time. 7/10

Match 6: WWE Title: Kurt Angle vs. Big Show
It was quite funny to watch Kurt try to over-power the Big Show, In the beginning, Show was beating up Angle, but Kurt fought back, and Brock Lesnar's interference directly leads to Kurt winning the title! Good match 9/10

Match 7: 2 out of 3 falls: World Title: Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels
Fall 1: Street Fight: This just went far too long, about 20 minutes. Very slow, but exciting in parts.
Fall 2: Cage Match: The pace picks up here and Ric Flair gets involved. This was probably the most exciting fall, 9 minutes long.
Fall 3: Ladder Match: This only lasted 5 minutes, actually, but was still an entertaining match, with a few nasty spots. Overall this match is 9/10

Also, some footage of Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie together in a hotel room. Pretty futile segment, big waste of time.
Overall, this is a good PPV.
