Summary: Buy it if your a KURT ANGLE fan
Review:
I've reviewed this before and gave it a three because there is some mediocre stuff and that is the wrong rating, the best match I've ever seen is the street fight. I've read a review(not on Amazon)and he/she said that it does not get interesting until like 16 mins of the match(just before the big bump to shane), that person must not be a technical or proper wrestling fan. The first 6 - 7 minuits of match is the best to me because you get to see Kurt do a fake irish(pull him by the hand/arm)wip into a belly to belly over head throw, gut rist into slam and more grappling moves. Shane is not very talented at wrestling so he does some fake punches, uses a kendo stick then things start to heat up again when he does an amazing shooting star press of top rope(while Kurt holds the trash can).
That is the best match I have ever seen and this is a must own DVD. Watching Kurt now he is not as good as he was in 2001(he's getting up to middle age I think). Kurt grow some hair if you haven't. I hope the WWE bring out a DVD with Kurt angles best matches like Chris Benoits DVD.

Summary: booker t how dare you
Review: A pretty good pay per view especially for a king of the ring but that was probaly because there were no quarter finals and that gave more story for the other kotr participants.thought angle would become first 2 time champion or maybe ryhno to make his career even bigger.edge won and i thought it would be agoainst christian if one of the 2 got to the finals but was agaonst kurt.
pretty good street fight between kurt and shane although kurt shoukld be fighting for major titles and not against shane. jeff hardy beat x-pac rules to retain the lightheavyweight title,jef got the cheers but xpac is the best guy in the wwf so he shoukld of won. main event wasgood excoept benoit got a neck ingury and booker t coming was great.austin retasins.

Summary: WWF King of the Ring 2001
Review: I attended the event live at the Continental Airlines Arena in NJ and the show was absolutely phenomenal, despite the absence of Triple H. I went with a few friends (we were in the 5th row, behind DDP)and the show reeked of awesomeness! The pyros and the atmosphere were unbeatable! Kurt Angle and Shane Mcmahon stole the show with their epic "street fight", while Edge started his push to stardom, and the Undertaker confronts DDP to defend the honor of his wife, Sara. There were a few WCW surprises as well. The Triple Threat match speaks for itself...Austin, Jericho, and Benoit gave it their hearts and souls and Benoit gave a little more...a few vertebrate. Great show and the DVD extras of the interviews with Shane and Kurt are tremendous. Any fan of the WWF should pick this up to add to their collection, I know I will.

Review: I had the privelage of seeing this exquisite event live on pay per view and let me tell you it was one of the best pay per view events I have ever seen and I am a long time fan! The "Street Fight Match" between Kurt Angle and Shane Mcmahon is an absolutely brilliant match! If you were to own two WWF videos in your entire life you MUST make this one of them!! Take this from a man who knows his wrestling!!

Summary: King of the Ring Average again
Review: I love anything of the WWF, but this ppv did not cut it. I liked it none the less, but the main event failed horribly to deliver, the triple threat match is very slow and boring, and the ending is terrible. The other matches were good though, especially the Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon match, and Undertaker DDP confrontation could have been saved for Raw. This ppv is nothing to talk about. But if you like wrestling it is for you, I mean hey, I'm gonna buy it anyway.

Summary: Best King of the Ring...ever!!!
Review: I own this event on DVD and I have to say that this is the best King of the Ring. The matches were all awesome matches and some of my personal favorites.The DVD extras are few but the DVD is still worth the money. The extras are Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon's commentary/interview on their match. Kurt Angle is out of character but Shane is in character. Heres the card: KOTR Semifinals:
Kurt Angle vs. Christian ***1/2
-Great match with lots of technical moves by both competitors. Angle and Christian tear eachother apart and deliver and awesome KOTR match. KOTR Semifinals:
Rhyno vs. Edge ****
-My third favorite match of the night. Rhyno is a great competitor. Rhyno used lots of submissions and Edge uses lots of great offense as well. WWF Tag Team Championship:
Dudley Boys(c) vs. Spike Dudley & Kane ***
-Nothing really special here. The thing I don't get was the WWF really had a great tag team divison at the time but used one of the oddest looking teams out of all of them. This match is okay and is better than some Tag Team Title Matches in recent weeks.(cough.cough.Hogan and Edge..cough) KOTR Finals:
Kurt Angle vs. Edge ***1/2
-A great match with Angle and Edge suplexing eachother for most of the time. Edge wins a hard fought victory with the help of Shane O' Mac. WWF Lightheavyweight Championship:
Jeff Hardy(c) vs. X-Pac ****
-Both deliver an awesome match. Lots of high flying moves and the ending was something to watch. Stalker Confrontation:
The Undertaker & Diamond Dallas Page ?
-What is this?? Fast Forward when this shows up. The only con of the whole PPV. Why this confrontation couldn't be held on Raw still remains a mystery. Street Fight:
Shane McMahon vs. Kurt Angle *****
-This match got the audience back in the PPV after the 5 minute slugfest of The Undertaker and DDP. Lots of amazing moves that still amaze me to this day. Angle delivering the Belly to Belly Suplex through the glass was the something to behold. Followed up by a Super Angle Slam made this match the Match of the Year. Triple Threat Match for the WWF Championship:
Steve Austin vs Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit ****1/2
-A great feud that delivered one...of a match. Suplexes and high flying moves left and right. But Austin came out on top with his Stone Cold Stunner to still be WWF Champion.

Summary: King of the Ring
Review: I was able to travel to New Jersey to see this PPV live and all I have to say is that it was awesome. Arguably, the best match was Shane-o-Mac vs Kurt Angle. The things Shane did to entertain the crowd were amazing. The main event was very good with a great finish, as was the tournament. Buy this and watch over and over again.

Summary: King of the Ring 2001 = AMAZING
Review: I was at this event and let me tell you that it was incredible to see it live. Owning this DVD allows me to go back and relive these incredible memories I have. The ppv tournament was shortened which allowed for longer/better matches. Here's a run down of the matches. Semi-final 1: Kurt Angle vs. Christian - This is the perfect example of what an opening match should be. They got the crowd pumped and put on a good show. The Angle Slam from the outside of the ring in was a sweet variation. Semi-final 2: Edge vs. Rhyno - These two are terrific wrestlers with unique styles. This match had great psychology and the double-spear was definitely a cool site. They will both become big-time players some day. Tag-Team Title Match: Dudley Boyz (champions) vs. Kane & Spike - This was a typical tag-team match. Spike Dudley took some cool bumps. It was akward because this match was thrown together at the last minute and the Dudleys had just become heels. The chokeslam through the table was what the crowd wanted. =) King of the Ring Finals: Kurt Angle vs. Edge - A very memorable KoR Finals match-up. Another match between two great wrestlers. The belly-to-belly suplex over the top rope was awesome. The Christian interference was a little confusing. However, Edge winning was perfect because the crowd was rooting for him and he deserved it. The Shane interference built up even more tension for the Street Fight. Light Heavyweight Title Match: Jeff Hardy (champion) vs. X-pac - A decent match with nice-looking moves. The ending kept the crowd happy and the rest of the ppv moving along nicely. Confrontation: Undertaker vs. DDP - This was pretty pointless. It's pretty boring and probably the KoR's only major flaw. You'll probably want to skip this. However, DDP sitting in the front row with his sign all night long was pretty funny. Street Fight: Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon - Needless to say, if you're even considering this buying this dvd/video, you've heard about this match. This was one of the most brutal WWF matches ever. I'd go into detail, but I think the surprises of this street fight have to be seen to be believed. I will say this, though... Shane and Kurt both left King of the Ring with a lot of REAL injuries. Main Event - WWF Title Triple Threat: Stone Cold (champion) vs. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit - The main event can only be described as the perfect way to end a perfect evening. These three fought for close to a half-hour (as did Shane and Kurt) in a match that went on a total roller coaster. This match had it all except for a dramatic finish, but that can be forgiven. What a night! EXTRAS: The 2001 King of the Ring DVD is certainly lacking in extras compared to other WWF DVD's (I have two others). However, the two interviews that are there are the most incredible special features on any WWF DVD. Shane and Kurt talk you through their street fight. However, they don't talk in character. They let you know what they were really feeling and how painful it really was. I might recommend this DVD for these interviews alone! Overall King of the Ring 2001 was an event that certainly made it's mark. I can seriously recommend picking yourself up a copy of this DVD.
