Summary: Austin Returns...and thats about it
Review: Austin's return match is worth the price of the DVD, the rest are just add on matches. The crowd shakes the building when the glass shatters. It's one of the best scenes in the past few years of WWE entertainment. I haven't missed a PPV in 5 and a half years and I tell you this is a moment to have in your DVD collection. I'm pre-ordering it overnight air...cant wait to put it on my 36 inch TV with 500 watt surround sound and relive that moment.

Summary: VERY GOOD!!!
Review: This was a very good PPV. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin returns to the WWE ring to take on Eric Bischoff. And of course, Eric gets the cr@p beaten out of him, along with 4 stunners!!! The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan 2 was much better than the one they had at Wrestlemania 18 last year in Toronto, Canada. Also, witness the heel turn of "The People's Champion." The other matches on the card are watchable,too. Buy this PPV on home video, whether you get it on VHS or DVD. It's a must-have for your wrestling video collection.

Summary: The Rattlesnake returns!
Review: This card was mediocre at best. Austin defenitley saved the PPV in his match against Eric Bischoff. Here are just some noteworthy matches on the pay-per-view. 1. Stone Cold vs. Eric Bischoff
*****
-This match isn't about style or scientific wrestling, just a great nostalgic return of a true legend. 2. Chris Jericho vs. Jeff Hardy
****1/2
-It's just so ironic that this match is the opener and steals the show. This match had every other match beat as far as the "wrestling" goes. 3. World Heavyweight Championship:
Triple H(c) w/ Ric Flair vs. Scott Steiner
****
-Way better than Rock/Hogan II, a vastly improved match compared to their "oh so bad" match at Royal Rumble. Lots of run-ins on Triple H's part and just an all out street fight. 4. Part II:
The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan
***1/2
-On paper this match looks like a spectacular sequel to their Wrestlemania battle. Unfortunately, there were a few things missing since last year's match. This match came right after Austin's return, so the crowd was not as lively, also, this was not in front of 65,000 plus like Wrestlemania X8. Its not saying this match was bad, but just a letdown. Bottom Line:
Overall just an average pay-per-view. Could have been a lot better if the bookers made a few adjustments to the card.

Summary: Average pay-per-view
Review: Opening Match: Jeff Hardy v Chris Jericho
After a reasnonably long, fast-paced opener, Jericho was able to power-bomb Jeff off the middle-rope and put him in the Walls of Jericho for the submission victory. Christian came down to lay a beating on Jeff, but Shawn Michaels soon helped Hardy out and gave Christian the Sweet Chin Music. Very good opener. **** RAW Tag Titles: RVD & Kane v Storm & Regal
After Lance Storm tries to rip Kane's mask off, the Big Red Machine became temporarily blinded. RVD was purposely pushed into his parter by Regal, therefore Kane chokeslammed RVD, not knowing who he was attacking due to him being blinded. Regal soon got the pinfall. **1/4 Cruiserweight Championship: Matt Hardy, v1.0 v Billy Kidman
Shannon More interfered, and then Matt hit the Twist of Fate off the middle rope for the win and the title. *** Big Show v Undertaker
After the A-Train interfered, Big Show attempted a chokeslam. Taker countered it into a triangle choke-hold and Big Show passed out for Taker' victory. * Team Angle v Chris Benoit & Brock Lesnar
Lesnar hit the F-5 on Angle, and then Benoit made Charlie Haas tap out to the painful Crippler Crossface for the victory. ****1/4 RAW World Title: Triple H v Scott Steiner
This match was just about as bad as their previous Royal Rumble one. Ric Flair and others interfered and distracted Steiner, which allowed HHH to hit the Pedigree for the win. * Eric Bischoff v Stone Cold Steve Austin
Austin came out to a HUGE ovation from the crowd and beat the RAW General Manager up for four minutes. He then gave Bischoff three consecutive Stone Cold Stunners for the pinfall victory. He posed at the crowed for a while, the gave Bishoff another Stunner and left him lying helpless in the ring. * Hulk Hogan v The Rock, part 2
Hogan was able to score with the Leg Drop, but just as he was about to get the pin, all the lights in the arena went out. Vince McMahon came out to reveal that it was him who did it, and then the referee gave the Rock a chair to hit Hogan with! Rock then scored with the Rock Bottom for the 1-2-3. The referee turned out to be an imposter, as he raised hands with Mr. McMahon and the Rock as the show went off the air. ** This was an average pay-per-view. It wasn't as good as last month's Royal Rumble, but it did include some good - very good matches, such as the Handicap match and the Jericho v Jeff Hardy opener. The cruiserweight match was average, but not as good as some of the Tajiri matches we've seen recently. Final Score: (/10) 5.0

Summary: No Way Out 2003
Review: MR. MCMAHON GETS HIS WAY; AUSTIN DESTROYS BISCHOFF The WWE Chairman has said that he did not want Hulk Hogan back in WWE, and he sent that message to the Hulkster loud and clear at No Way Out. In a devious scheme that could only come from Vince's mind, The Rock managed to overthrow Hogan for the win in a rematch of their encounter at WrestleMania X-8. But it was hardly a clean victory for the People's Champion. Hogan appeared ready to get the win after nailing a leg drop on his opponent when the arena suddenly went dark! The lights came on seconds later with the referee laying dazed on the mat with a steel chair nearby! Hogan, completely confused, didn't know what to do. He caught sight of Vince walking down the entranceway, but failed to see the referee awaken and slide the chair to The Rock! The Great One clobbered Hogan with the chair and rolled him up for the pin! The Rock left Vince to smile and taunt Hogan by tearing away a shirt that read, "Hulkamania [...]!" As promised, Stone Cold Steve Austin returned to WWE in grand fashion at No Way Out. Stone Cold had no problem dismantling Eric Bischoff. The RAW General Manager's karate skills were simply no match for the seething Texas Rattlesnake, who clearly toyed with his former WCW boss. Stone Cold knocked Bischoff senseless with three Stunners and delivered a fourth after getting the decisive pinfall. Triple H managed to uphold his World Heavyweight Championship despite a strong surge from Scott Steiner. Of course, The Game had his Evolution allies Randy Orton, Ric Flair and Batista to back him on his way to victory. Matt Hardy had to struggle to cut weight, but the move paid off. Matt out dueled Billy Kidman to win the Cruiserweight Championship! Heading into their match against Team Angle, things were looking bleak for Chris Benoit and Brock Lesnar. Their partner, Edge was found beaten into submission backstage, forcing a 2-on-3 match up. Benoit and Lesnar refused to back down, and got the win after Charlie Haas tapped out to Benoit's Crippler Crossface! MATCH RESULTS
Chris Jericho def. Jeff Hardy
William Regal & Lance Storm def. Kane & RVD
Matt Hardy def. Billy Kidman for the Cruiserweight Championship
The Undertaker def. the Big Show
Chris Benoit and Brock Lesnar def. Team Angle
Triple H def. Scott Steiner
Stone Cold def. Eric Bischoff

Summary: WWE No Way Out 2003
Review: I always look at the 2003 WWE No Way Out as the 'anticipated PPV', and that's for a very good reason. If you are looking for excellent quality wrestling matches, then you will not find them in this PPV. I call it the 'anticipated PPV' since it mostly includes great WWE moments that will be remembered forever, not because of their excellent quality matches, but because of their anticipation. For example, after a while, people will definitely want to relive Austin's return to the WWE after a long absence. Also fans will definitely want to relive Rock vs Hogan II after Hulk Hogan to retired !!! Overall, it is a great PPV and a must for any wrestling fan, especially considering that it is the final Major stop before the biggest wrestling event of the year, WRESTLEMANIA! The matches that are included are as the following: 1. Chris Jericho vs Jeff Hardy
Great opener, some excellent wrestling skills shown by both competitors. Overall, I give it 4/5 !!! 2. William Regal/Lance Storm vs Rob Van Dam/Kane
Good tag team match for the World Tag Team Titles. I liked the ending which was 'different' from any other cheap vicotry. Overall, I give it 3.5/5 !!! 3. Matt Hardy vs Billy Kidman
Cool cruiserweight action, however, the ending was easily predicted. Overall, I give it 3.5/5 !!! 4. The Undertaker vs Big Show
Decent match, however, there was some boring moments that could take you to sleep !! Big Show controlled most of the match, which is horrible cause it makes the Undertaker look weak. Overall, I give it 3/5 !!! 5. Team Angle vs Brock Lesnar/Chris Benoit
Good match, with excellent wrestling moves, especially whenever you have Benoit and Angle in the ring. Overall, I give it 4/5 !!! 6. Triple H vs Scott Steiner
Now don't get me wrong, I like both Steiner and HHH, however, BORING woudl be too good to describe this match. Horrible booking, horrible match with a horrible ending. Take my word for it, skip this match when you are watching this DVD! Overall, I give it 1/5 and thats only because I like the wrestlers involved in this match !!! 7. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Eric Bischoff
Cool and very Funny, a great moment that will be remembered forever. Bischoff got his ass kicked all over the ringside. Overall, give it 5/5, and not because of the wrestling but because of it anticipation !!! 8. The Rock vs Hollywood Hulk Hogan II
Great match, really anticipated, although I think Hogan should have won this one since he lost to The Rock in their first battle at Wrestlemania X8. Vince interfered and screwed Hogan !! Overall, I give it 4.5/5 !!! Overall, it was a decent PPV (with the exception of HHH vs Steiner). And I recommend this DVD for any wrestling fan !!!

Summary: Another decent showing by the WWE
Review: 2003 so far as not been a excellent year for the wwe, but the ppv was not that bad! Again, this is the first time in half a year since we've seen the Austin, the Rock, and Hogan in the ring. ... Here's the list of what you will see and my opinion of the matches. 1. Jeff Hardy vs Y2J
Even thought this was supposed to be Test's match instead of Hardy's, this was still a good match. As you would expect, it was high-flying and very fast-paced match but Hardy losing streak continued as he tapped out to the walls of jericho. HBK comes in to make the save. I have to admit I had to stop and hear the crowd's reaction where he came out to see how they would treat him after the last ppv held there. Good match 2. RVD and Kane vs William Regal and Lance Storm
A match made up at the last minute and was not as bad as what other people make it out to be. RVD and Kane work really well as a team. The ending was a little disappointing as Storm messed up Kane's mask, causing him not to see and accidentally chokeslamming RVD and allowing storm and regal to pick up the victory. 3. Undertaker vs Big Show
I wasn't quite for sure if this was going to be a good match since Big Show's matches aren't usually that good. However, this was an exception. It was the first time that I can remember where the undertaker had to rely on submissions and techincial wrestling to win a match. Because the big show was too big for the chokeslam, last ride or tombstone. Believe it or not, big show did put on a good wrestling match. People may not like the big show or a-train but since they've been working with Paul Heyman, they have shown some major signs of improvement. Taker used a triangle choke to seal the deal. After the match Taker tries to get retribution for what Show did to him last October, but A-train came in and delivered the derailer (formerly known as the baldo bomb) and talked trash to Taker afterwards. Good match. 4. 6 man tag Edge, Lesnar, and Benoit vs Team Angle
This was a very disappointing match-up. First, Edge was attacked and could not compete and the match itself was not as good as you would expect from these fine performers. It just looked like it was planned out very well. Benoit made Shelton Benjamin tap out to the crossface. Brock F-5ed Angle as he was trying to break the hold. 5. Mattitude Version 1 vs Billy Kidman
Matt had to lose some weight to compete in this match and after losing to kidman week after week on smackdown, he was out to seek revenge and this was his solution. Shannon Moore, Matt's little follower didn't really play that much of a role expect he was the beat up guy as he usually his. Matt nailed a regular twist of fate but couldn't pick up the win but later nailed it from the top rope and became the new cruiserweight champion. 6. HHH vs Big Poppa Pump
A rematch from a disappointing effort from the Royal Rumble, once again did not show much improvement. Steiner bottom line is not ready to be main eventing and to improve his wrestling ability. The crowd even acknowledged that. The evoultion also known as eviloution(Flair, Orton, and Batista) helped interfere in the match which allowed HHH to hit the pedigree and remain champion. 7. Austin vs Bischoff
This is one of the matches that you just had to sit back and get a good laugh out of. The PPV's title was appriorate for this match was it was No Way Out for Bischoff. Austin just beat the hell out of Bischoff giving him not one, not two, not even three but FOUR Stone Cold Stunners as his employees from the raw side watched on in laughter. Again, it is nice to see Austin back, God knows the wwe needs him. 8. Hogan vs Rock
Not an improvement from WM 18, but a good effort considering that neither one has stepped foot in a wwe ring since August.
It was obvious who the fan favorite was this time around and Hogan despite his age still put on a good performance which ended up in another Monteral screw-job, but a more creative one as that. The referee come to find out is wrestling trainee who was in cahoots with the rock and Vinne Mac. As Hogan dropped the big legdrop and went for the pin the lights went out and when they came back on here comes vince, the referee brought steel chair to the ring and helped screw hogan out of the victory. This was basically a way to lead up to the big hogan vs mcmahon fight at wrestlemania. This No Way Out is not the best one in the whole series that started in 1998, but it was still a good show.

Summary: No Way Out 2003
Review: Here's my review of the WWE's most recent Pay-Per-View, No Way Out. And now, the matches and my rating out of 5 ***** Chris Jericho v.s. Jeff Hardy
A pretty predictable match, but it turned out to be a really good opener to quite a show. Jeff and Jericho have many great spots during the match, and HBK even makes an appearance. ***1/2 World Tag Team Title: William Regal, Lance Storm v.s. Kane, RVD
A very predictable match as it was a match sorta put together at the last minute on RAW. Match was okay, but the ending really stunk. **3/4 Cruiserweight Title: Matt Hardy v.s. Billy Kidman
Yet another predictable, not-so-great match. Sorry, but Matt Hardy just isn't quite a cruiserweight so this match was pretty basic and didn't even resemble a cruiserweight match. Oh well I guess. ** Undertaker v.s. Big Show
This match is almost all Big Show so it moves really slow. This match also made Undertaker look like a real weakling (which he's not!) when he was trying to pick up Show so many times and he couldn't. A cool spot was when 'Taker did his unbelievable no-hands swan dive over the top rope onto A-Train (ugh) on the outside. Match was about *3/4 because of Show's slow offense. Brock Lesnar, Chris Benoit v.s. Kurt Angle, Team Angle
Edge was supposed to be in this match but was taken out prior to it (because he needs neck surgery) so this ended up being a handicap match. In my opinion, WWE really needs to can this whole Team Angle thing with Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin. Too many reasons to follow that statement. Anyway, the match wasn't too bad, some pretty nice moves though when Angle and Lesnar get in there it becomes so dull as Angle applys a rear-chin lock (which the announcers seem to think is a choke hold ((jeez))the whole time on Brock for at least FIVE MINUTES! AAAHHHH! Anyway- **3/4 World Title: HHH v.s. Scott Steiner
Not too much of a match. Scott is a little slow and HHH was still kinda injured. Here's another angle that needs to be canned: The Evolution. Pretty much a recycled D-Generation X but not nearly as cool. Match was about **1/2 Steve Austin v.s. Eric Bischoff
STONE COLD RETURNS!! Oh, sorry, it was an exciting moment! Even though the match is only about six minutes long, it's a great match just because of Stone Cold. It's so great to see him back finally! ***3/4 for the excitment of seeing Austin back alone! Rock v.s. Hogan II
Not exactly an improvement from last year's WrestleMania match-up between the two but it's still pretty good. The ending was pretty unique as Vince McMahon gives us: The Montreal Screwjob II. I guess one screwjob in Montreal wasn't enough for 'ol Vinnie Mac. Match was about *** Hopefully Rock will stay longer this time around, but that looks pretty doubtful. This years No Way Out PPV wasn't bad but some matches needed a little more work. Although it's also rather historic as it has STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN'S RETURN MATCH! JOY!
