Summary: Very good SummerSlam! It's worth the money to buy it!
Review: Overall, the 2001 version of SummerSlam was a very good event top to bottom. From a card that started with Edge defeating Lance Storm to win the WWF Intercontinental title to The Rock pinning Booker T to capture the WCW World title, it was an event I was satisfied with.
The action was solid if not spectacular. Some Internet reviews have been critical of the Undertaker/Kane vs. DDP/Kanyan tag team titles cage match but I thought it was OK (although not great). The DQ finish of the Austin-Angle WWF title match was a bit of a downer but it makes sense within the storylines.
Bottom line, if you plunk down $..., factor in the shipping fees and wait for the tape to come to your house, you should find it to be cash and time well spent. A recommended show.

Summary: DIDN'T DISAPOINT - WWF SUMMERSLAM 2001
Review: WWF Summerslam is an awesome event that is incredible every year and this year's event just proved once more how incredible it is. here is my review for the classic event.

DUD - very bad, awful, * - bad, ** - okish, *** - good effort, **** - excellent, ***** - perfect

Match 1: I-C Champion Lance Storm vs. Edge - to be honest I didnt expect too much from these match but man was I suprised this match was excecuted perfect and had a nice flow to it awesome work by both guys here. I expected Christian to turn on Edge but I was suprised. awesome! Rating: ****1/3

Match 2: Spike & The APA vs. Test & The Dudleyz - this is what you expected here. standard Raw/Smackdown matchup here and a bad finish. Rating: **

Match 3: Cruiser Champion X-Pac vs. LW Champ Tajiri - I loved this match. I hate X-Pac but he sure worked his [butt] off in a wonderful light weight match! Rating: ****1/2

Match 4: Chris Jericho vs. Rhyno - Rhyno and Jericho both kick [butt] and they prove it here is a good one on one match. Rating: ***1/3

Match 5: RVD vs. Hardcore Champ Jeff Hardy in a ladder match - dont get me wrong this was an incredible classic match but I expected a lot more from RVD and Hardy but stil solid. Rating: ****1/2

Match 6: WCW Tag Champs Taker & Kane vs. WWF Tag Champ DDP & Kanyon in a Cage Match - ehhhhhhhhhhhhh.......not so good basically a squash hee Rating: *1/4

Match 7: WWF Champ Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle - awesome match and awesome effort by both guys here and Anglr kicks [butt]. I love Angle after this masterpiece Rating: *****

Match 8: WCW Champ Booker T vs. The Rock - good match here, nuff said Rating: ****

Bottom Line: classic, nuff said wwf delivers big time

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Rock Bottom!
Review: Don't misinterpret this phrase as meaning it was awful. That would be far from the truth. This pay-per-view Rocked? This was the Rocks first ppv since Wrestlemania X-7. This is part 2 to the invasion, with Stone Cold who defected to the alliance defended his wwf title against Kurt Angle. Here is how I rate the matches. 1 star-dud 2 star-purgatory 3 star-ok 4 star-good 5 star-great. Edge vs. Lance Storm(champion) for the intercontinental championship.-4, two superb athletes going at it equal a good opening bout. APA/Spike Dudley vs. Dudleyz/Test-2, had the ability to be at least a 3 star rating. Too fast of a pace, plus stupid ending. Tajiri(lightheavyweight champion) vs. X-pac(WCW Cruserweight champion) title vs. title-41/2, Both men worked hard and it showed in this match. My only problem is that it was title vs. title #1 of the night the other still to come. I think they should have told us during the show that earlier they fliped a coin to determine which belt was at stake, at least it would have kept the wwf from being repetionous for one night. Jericho vs. Rhyno w/ Stephanie McMahon Helmsley-31/2, could have been more solid, a couple of mistakes by jericho hindered this otherwise awesome display of athleticism. RVD vs. Jeff Hardy(Hardcore champion) Hardcore Ladder Match for the title-5, Once again they steal this ppv as they did InVasion. They work wonderfully together. UnderTaker/Kane(wcw champions)vs. DDP/Kanyon(wwf champions)in a steel Cage for the WWF/WCW championships, title vs. title-5, brutallity at its best. Who better than the Brothers of Destruction. Stone Cold(wwf champion)vs. Kurt Angle for the wwf championship-4,Both men displayed how determined they were to win this match, that one,two,three referees were unable to keep in line. Good solid match with a surprise ending. Main Event The Rock vs. Booker T(wcw champion)for the wcw championship-5, finally the rock has layed the smackdown to this spinarooni jabrooni. What a main event! The Rock looked as good as ever before.But MR. T did go one on one with the great one in one wild ride. I strongly recommend this on vhs or dvd. Great ppv from beginning to end!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: a true classic
Review: with the invasion continuing it seems that summerslam will be a classic. there are about 6 matches signed by now. with austin defending the title against kurt angle. this is going to be an awesome match. austin will do whatever he can to survive. rock vs booker t. ever since rock came back booker has been a thorn in rockie's side. you know both rock and booker will be on the top of their game. tag team title cage match. sounds interesting. wcw champs taker/kane vs wwf champs ddp/kanyon. title for title. taker is going to look for revenge on the months of pain and torture ddp put him and his family through. does x-pac suck. we'll find out at summerslam against tajiri. two canadians batlle it out for the intercontinental title. lance storm vs. Edge. and finnally ryno vs. chris jericho. this match started by jericho making fun of stephanies huge zit. then he pied her. they also were involved in the inagural brawland tag matches in the past weeks. but the most exciting event is when ryno GORED jericho through the smackdown set. this is going to be a war. rumored matches. hardys vs. dudleys. i think this is a very possible mach. they have battled all this week and a little last week. regal vs. foley this is very unlikely right know in time. there is one week left and i have heard no rumors on that match. its possible though. summerslam 2001 is shaping up to be a top ppv.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SUMMERSLAM Matches
Review: As of right now there are only two matches.Booker T vs. The Rock and Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWF Heavyweight title This is Kurt's second time going for wwf title at SUMMERSLAM.

When it goes to video I'm going to buy it It's True It's DAM True OH HELL YEAH.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Summerslam 2001 will be great
Review: With a William Regal vs. Mic Foley epic, Steve Austin battling the Rock, and Goldberg making his in ring return (this time in the WWF), this will be one great videos to have in your collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Second best PPV of the year.
Review: By far the best Pay Per View of the year only to be outstaged by WrestleMania X-Seven. Let's go throught the classic match-by-match breakdown.

Dudley Boyz & Test Vs. APA & Spike: More of a match so that everyone knows Test is in WCW and Spike doesn't get along with Buh Buh and D'Von. Probably the sleeper of the show, a good 6/10.

Chris Jericho vs. Rhyno: Alot of buildup climaxes in this match. Definetly an 8/10.

Jeff Hardy vs. Rob Van Dam: Great rematch of InVasion. A great 8/10 performance.

X-Pac Vs. Tajiri: Good, solid match that showcases two underrated talents. 7/10.

Lance Storm vs. Edge: an incredible match for two incredible stars. 8/10

Steel Cage Tag Match(Taker&Kane vs. DDP&Kanyon): I think we all would have rather seen a singles between Taker and DDP, but a great bump match, 7/10

Booker T. vs. The Rock: Two men that we have been waiting to see collide. A huge match between the two deserving a 9/10 rating.

Stone Cold vs. Kurt Angle: Kurt's 1st face singles match is a good performance, but could have been better had Stone Cold been healthier, 9/10.
