Summary: i was disappointed!!
Review: I thought this ppv would be better. i thought the taker triple hhh match would be a lot better but it wasn't that good of a match. I thought the best match was the rvd vs jerico match and that was the opening match. If you buy this you will se what i mean.

Summary: King of the Ring a Dissapointment
Review: I thought this years King of the Ring was on of the worst in WWE History. The Main event was as bad as all the other one's this year. The best match was Kurt Angle and Hollywood Hogan. The only reason this was the best match was becdause Angle carried Hogan through the whole match and then made him tap.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I was at this event...
Review: I was at this event in Columbus, Ohio and let me tell you what a snooze-fest it really was! I actually nodding off during the ppv! Nodding off and I was at the event! I'm a huge wrestling fan and I have been to RAW's in Cincinnati and Columbus and I was really looking forward to my first ppv event, yet alone one of the top 5 (KOTR)! The only reason I am purchasing this DVD is to: A) Watch parts of the matches I fell asleep to and B) Try to find something worthwhile of spending my $$$ tickets on.

Hollywood v. Angle stole the show in my book. I really liked seeing Jamie Noble's debut as I had watched him for well over a year in what was originally a few months ago a WWE development territory: HWA.

Summary: I can already tell you --This is the worst PPV for 2002
Review: I'll make this short and sweet, the matches were horrible, long, and boring. The King of the ring finalist match was the ONLY acceptable match on the whole card. Brock Lesnar is good talent. Kurt Angle tried so hard to get Hogan to make a good match, it didn't work. I am so glad Hogan tapped.

Don't waste your money on new WWE PPV's... Get classic ones, like Summerslam 2000.

Summary: Better Than the Event
Review: In a rare instance, WWE packaged a decent DVD for a sub-par pay-per-view. Included as an extra feature is the conclusion of every non-PPV match of the King of the Ring tournament. Most segments last in length between one minute to two and a half minutes. This feature was key toward making this DVD worth a purchase.

All things considered, 2002 King of the Ring was not a total waste. The opening match between Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam was twenty-minutes of a great match, but more significantly, it marked the end of chrisjericho.com when Jericho announced that he would no longer turn to the Internet for feedback since fans had unmercilessly slaughtered his effort that night.

The match between Test and Brock Lesnar was the hardest-hitting match of the night. There was very little suspense in the outcome, as most experts predicted a meteoric rise for the "Next Big Thing," but personally, this match was the first time that I appreciated Brock Lesnar's performance.

Honestly, the event started like an unforgettable night, but unfortunately, the feeling ended after the third match. The first match that could have been better was between Eddie Guerrero and Ric Flair (substituting for then-disgruntled Steve Austin). The night never seemed to recover after that disappointment.

A ridiculous ending marred the Kurt Angle/Hollywood Hulk Hogan match, and Rob Van Dam and Brock Lesnar didn't give us a match that we could call classic. (They improved in subsequent matches on RAW and at Vengeance.) The main event match between Undertaker and Triple H was so bad that its highlight was arguably the encounter between Triple H and his estranged friends in the NWO (Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, X-Pac), which occurred before the introductions even began.

If WWE could do this event over again, you have to imagine there would be a lot of changes. But considering how the event went down, the DVD was a surprisingly enjoyable keepsake.

Summary: 2002 King of the Ring---The Next Big King
Review: June 23, 2002: WWE King of the Ring--solid PPV but could have been better.

<i>2002 KOR card</i>

2002 King of the Ring Semifinal: Chris Jericho vs Rob Van Dam
Solid match and excellent opener--although some might argue that their RAW doubleheader on 10/27/2003 was better.

2002 King of the Ring Semifinal: Test vs Brock Lesnar
Average Match--basically to ensure that Lesnar gets over. Test never truly gets properly booked for WWE Championship runs, does he?

WWE Cruiserweight Championship: The Hurricane vs Jamie Noble
Nice match--Noble goes over to help boost the Cruiserweight division. Hurricane should have remained on SmackDown! instead of jumping to RAW.

Ric Flair vs Eddie Guerrero:
Flair's "Last Run" begins with a victory in a solid match.

WWE Women's Championship: Molly Holly vs Trish Stratus
Morality prevals as Molly beats Trish in a weak match. Unforgiven was slighty better.

"Battle of the Real Americans": Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs Kurt Angle
Solid match--Angle makes Hogan tap, and Angle finally reveals his baldness.

2002 King of the Ring Finals: Brock Lesnar vs Rob Van Dam
Lesnar boosts his status as the "Next Big Thing" while RVD gets buried to a certain degree. Vengeance was better.

WWE Undisputed Championship: Undertaker vs Triple H
The Rock saves this match from being a total disaster. WrestleMania X-7 was better.

DVD has the KOR Tournament highlights--I just wish they had shown all the matches in their entirety.

Summary: King of the Ring 2002 was awful
Review: King of the Ring 2002 was one of the most boring and uneventful ppv's in a long while. Absolutely nothing of interest happened at this ppv. There were only two watchable matches and the rest of the card is terrible.

KOR Semifinal-RVD d. Chris Jericho: this was easily the best match of the night and it was the opener! Great back and forth action with RVD pulling out the win. Set the tone for a great night, but that didn't happen. 8/10

KOR Semifinal-Brock Lesnar d. Test: this was a pretty good match.
Test and Lesnar really put on an extremely hard hitting match that ends with Lesnar pinning Test. 5/10

Ric Flair d. Eddie Guerrero: this was a dull match with no buildup. Only put on the card to replace Austin vs. Guerrero. Interference from Bubba Ray Dudley gives Flair the victory. 2/10

Cruiserweight Title - Jamie Noble d. Hurricane: this really didn't deserve a spot on the ppv, especially since Noble had only been around for 3 weeks. Noble wins with the help of Nidia, even though she did a lousy job of making it look like she did anything. 2/10

Women's Title - Molly Holly d. Trish Stratus: once again this did not deserve a spot on ppv. Molly wins by grabbing the tights, even though she didn't really grab them until Trish had already been counted down. How come everyone who was supposed to cheat to win messed up in the actual cheating part? 2/10

Kurt Angle d. Hulk Hogan: this was the second best match of the night. Angle does a great job of making anyone look good, even that bald joke of a wrestler Hulk Hogan. Some great action in this match. 6/10

KOR Final - Brock Lesnar d. RVD: this final left no doubt who would win the title shot at SummerSlam. Who really thought RVD would get a main event, even though he deserves it two hundred times as much as that goon Lesnar. Lesnar wins with help from Heyman. Short match, nothing special. 3/10

Undisputed WWE Title - Undertaker d. Triple H: this was easily the worst main event I have ever seen. Slow paced, dull, fall asleep, boring match. Trips was injured, Taker didn't have it on this night. Easily Triple H's worst match in a while. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those internet Triple H haters who think they know what is going on in the WWE lockerrooms, I am a huge Triple H fan, but this match is bad. The Rock interferes and salvages any possible entertainment out of the match. If you buy this, fast forward to the end of the match to see Rock's interference, its the only good part. Awful overall match. 2/10

Overall this ppv gets a 30/80 which is utterly terrible. If you want a good 2002 ppv get SummerSlam, Survivor Series, or Judgment Day as they are packed with excellent matches. If you want to see a good Triple H-Undertaker match get WrestleMania X7, its classic.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: So begins the Great Fall
Review: King Of The Ring is traditionally one of WWE's weaker shows of the year. This year was no exception. The Main Event between Triple-H and Undertaker is basically just 2 guys punching and spitting for 25 minutes, the actual tournament is between 4 guys who got no crowd reaction(and for good reason), the cruiserweight title match between Hurricane and Jamie Noble features lots of screeching and botched spots, the Ric Flair-Eddie Guerrero match is slow and stop-start, and the commentary is terrible. The only "highlights" are 2 mediocre matches in the form of Hulk Hogan-Kurt Angle, and Molly Holly-Trish. Not hideous, but not exactly good either. However, try and check out the funny Goldust/Booker T promo, at least until The Rock shows up and spoils it, anyway. Altogether, a big thumbs down for this show.

Rating: 1 stars

match 5:womens title-trish vs. molly- dumb. 3.5/10
match 6:hogan vs. angle- slow and pointless.3/10
match 7:KOTR finals-rrvd and lesnar have a much better match at vengeance.5/10
