Summary: kotr 2001 review
Review: King of the ring was one of the most interesting ppv the wwe had.
Some of the best matches of the year happen at this event like Foley vs Taker (hell in a cell) and there have been some of the worst matches of the year in the kotr like the hardcore evening gown match with patterson and brisco, kiss my foot match with Bret Hart and jerry lawler and Too much vs al snow and head. This King of the ring unlike the majority of them had more strengths than weaknesses. The tournament actually had some real wrestling take place and it wasn't a 3 or 4 minute worthless filler that we've seen in the past years. In fact I think it's the best tournament since the first one back in 1993. Kurt Angle definately earned more of my respect by competing in 3 matches and all 3 matches were top notch. Angle tourney matches might have been a little better if Shane hadn't of interfered in both. The Street Fight was awesome. I would have never though Angle would've wrestled good in this type of match. Angle overhead belly-belly suplex on shane through the kotr entrance which was made of glass was brutual. The angle slam of the top rope was cool too. The main event was pretty good up until the end. Booker T's interference was cool until a month later we discover that they were on the same side all along. Taker-DDP encounter was absoultely stupid. Taker just kicked and punched DDP throughout the encounter. X-Pac vs Jeff Hardy was decent and the tag team match b/w kane and spike vs Dudleys were average too. If I bought this tape, I would only watch the tourney matches and the street fight basically.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: One of the worst KORs
Review: KOF 2001 was pretty lame. This DVD was a total waste of money and time. The reason I gave 2 stars is because of the Street Fight match between Kurt and Shane. This match was pretty brutal and worth watching. What a shame for WWE - the best match in the PPV was a match with a non wrestler. ...

Summary: STREET FIGHT SAVES THIS FROM BEING BAD
Review: Lets set this straight I don't love WWE Wrestling because you mostly get bad matches and good matches, on this DVD there're mostly bad matches then good. The worst thing on this is the UNDERTAKER getting revenge on DDP and is just UNDER punching and kicking DDP. Just like SURVIVOR SERIES when there's 1 good match(Aliance against WWF)the only match I watched like 20 times was the street fight because it has one of the best wrestlers at the time(Kurt Angle)and a good highfliyer/bumptaker(Shane MacMahon). Who said all Wrestling is fake when they both got hurt bad by shane getting belly to belly suplexed(thrown)into a window twice and once did not go through and Shane injured his head. They both got back in the ring and a few minutes later Kurt got a board and put it on the top corner turn buckle and ANGLE SLAMMED Shane of it. At the end SHANE gets a standing ovation for those bumps and his high flying moves.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I WAS THERE!!!!
Review: Meadowlands East Rutherford NJ Continetal Airlines arena. The event would prove to be a big waste of $75.
Most of the matches came off as very boring and dissapointing. The Taker/DDP was ok, and the Spike/Kane vs the dudleys was good, but for the most part it was really boring. The best match of course was the Shane vs Angle. I forget the outcome but when Angle tried to throw him through the glass windows that were the set for King of the ring, the first attempt failed and the glass didn't break and Shane hit the floor really hard. It's pretty dissapointing when the best match features a non wrestler! I was also dissapointed by the main event in which Jericho and Benoit basically 'swam' around the outside of the ring for like 10 minutes, way to kill time! The only thing that saved that match was a suprise run in.
I'm not sure what's on the DVD, but hopefully it's not as boring as it was live.

Summary: KURT ANGLE IS A TRUE SUPERHERO!!
Review: No other superstar could fight with so much heart and tears as Kurt Angle does in this sensational PPV. He already has two technical matches before his unforgettable street fight with the impressive Shane O Mac. King of the Ring 2001 is this years greatest WWF Event so far! Every match is fast-paced and entertaining and the crowd were fired up. The best match of the night was the Kurt Angle v Shane McMahon. We get to see Shane go through the staging glass (twice) and we get to see a shooting star press by Shane and an unbelivable Angle Slam from the top rope. The blood and carnage was galore in this entertaining event. I have all good things to say about 2001 wwf events. They have all been terrific and bloody. The OLYMPIC HERO Kurt Angle is the shine of this PPV. Unlike the night before, the crowd chanted his name and cheered him like mad. The crowd loved him!!The main event was great
Get this if your a true Kurt Angle fan..Its true..Its True!!

Summary: Worst Ending To A Main Event In The History Of Pro Wrestling
Review: Now I noticed that most people are actually reviewing this as a good KOR and one thing comes to mind when i read a review like that for a ppv like this and that would be have you considered brain surgery? I mean c'mon Benoit suplexes Jericho and they both take a 3-hour nap in the middle of the ring and then Austin wakes up from his nap and crawls in the ring and puts his arm on Benoit and wins? I am sorry to say that I was one of the unfortunate victims that ordered that on ppv and let me tell you, when Austin pinned Benoit and actually got a 3 count I was very pissed. I had just been screwed out of 30 bucks and was obviously in a very bad mood after what had just happened. Anyways, I would just like to say that it's endings like that, that can put a ppv or an entire company out of business and this ppv did put the KOR out of business but the WWE can at least be thankful that this no good piece of possum crap didn't force the entire company to go out of business.

PS:If you are considering buying this pathetic excuse of an event I would just suggest throwing 30 bucks in the sewer instead of wasting any gas money to go to the mall and buy this joke.

Summary: WWF King Of The Ring 2001
Review: The 2001 King of the Ring is one of the Big 5 from the WWF, and this one delivered. The first match is a King of the Ring Semifinal Match between Kurt Angle and Christian which was very exciting and solid. Next was Edge vs. Rhyno in the 2nd Semifinal Match which was also very exciting. Next was the WWF Tag Title Match between The Dudleyz vs. Spike and a mystery partner. This was a pretty good match. Some high spots and good carnage. Next was the Final King Of The Ring Match. This one was really good. A real shocker. Next was the Light Heavyweight Title match between X-Pac vs. Jeff Hardy which was ok. Nothing special. Next was the Street Fight between Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon. What a match. It starts off kind of slow but the blood and intensity pick up quickly in another match of the year candidate. Truly not for the weak of heart. Brutal, bloody, and very savage. Finally, the Triple Threat WWF Title Match between Stone Cold, Jericho, and Benoit. This was an ok match. Interference by a special someone made this match more lively, but the ending was weak, and there wasn't a whole lot of high spots that we come to expect in main events at ppv's. Overall, a solid ppv.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The king of Pay Per views
Review: The 2001 WWE King of the Ring was awesome. The KOTR (King of the Ring)tournament was exciting and the best part of this Pay Per View was that there was no regular match. In every match there was somethig on the line, either the chance to become the King of the ring or the WWE title or there was some kind of special match. There was no normal one on one match which gaurantees every match is gonna be exciting. Here are all the matches and how they were.....
#1 KOTR Semifinals: Christian vs Kurt Angle- Great opening match match. Real exciting because there was a time Christian had control over the match but lost it because of Shane McMahon.
#2 KOTR Semifinals: Edge vs Rhyno- Good match between two freinds. The great part of the match was Rhyno doing his Gore and Edge doing his spear at the same time to each other.
#3 WWE Tag Team Champioship: Dudley Boyz vs Spike Dudley & Kane- A good tag title match. It was great for spike because it was the first time he fought his brothers on a ppv. Plus what happened after the match was awesome.
#4 KOTR Finals: Kurt Angle vs Edge- Another great match between two frends. Kurt Angle proved he had what it takes to become the King of the Ring but in the end it was Edge who was the victor mainly because of Shane McMahon's interfearence. Because of that, the upcoming Street Fight between Kurt Angle and Shane Mcmahon became more exciting to see.
#5 WWE Light Heavywieght Championship: X-pac vs Jeff Hardy- good match between two lightheavyweights and the ending was not dissapointing.
#6 Confrontation: DDP & Undertaker (not a match)- For weeks DDP was stalking Undertaker's wife all because he wanted to become famous and the Undertaker was being driven crazy not knowing who it was . And now that he knew, it was time for him to unleash all his fury on him which was exactly what he did. So many weapons were being used and Taker sure did make DDP famous.
#7 Street Fight: Kurt Angle vs Shane McMahon- For weeks, Shane McMahon had been making Kurt Angle's life a living hell. McMahon had accused Kurt Angle of stalking Taker's wife which Taker took really seriously on Kurt. And after costing him the KOTR, Kurt must have really been looking foward to this match. Well hte match was real good. Lots of weapons, brutality and blood was in this match. Shane was even thrown threw glass (More then once!!)The Angle Slam of the top rope was sweet.
#8 WWE Championship Triple Threat match: Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Y2J (Chris Jericho) vs Chris Benoit- An Awesome match considering the fact that Benoit and Y2J were friends and double teamed against Austin and that the whole rivary started when Benoit & Y2J took the tag titles from Steve Austin and HHH. The match was great because Y2J and Benoit eventually fought and weapons were even used and Benoit even his Stone Cold with a Stunner!!!. A great thing was that WCW Champion Booker T made his debut in this match and did something very cool to Austin 3:16. Although good stuff happened the ending of the match was dissapointing.

As you cn see all the matches were real good and exciting. i gaurantee anybody who buys this will love it. GET IT!!!!
