Summary: Bad Main Event...Amazing Rumble!
Review: The 2001 Royal Rumble was quite possibly the greatest Royal Rumble of all time. It featured a spectacular Royal Rumble, along with some good matches. The main event, however, was very, very lackluster, considering it was Triple-H vs Kurt Angle. Aren't these guys supposed to be the best in WWE?! Well, that doesn't seem to be the case in this match, since it SUCKS! Below is a list of matches and how I would rate them on a scale of 5 stars.WWE Tag Team Championship
The Dudley Boyz vs E & C
A good tag match and a hot opener as well. The match was about half decent for the majority of it, but really, REALLY, picked up during the last portion. *** Intercontinental title Ladder match
Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit
An awesome ladder match with two guys that can certainly deliver. It wasn't the greatest ladder match of all time, but it was definately a really good one. ****1/4 Ivory vs Chyna
Stupid match that was cut short because of Chyna's "injury", which was just a poor excuse for everyone to have some sympathy for her come here "big" Wrestlemania "revenge" match. Boring match. 1/2* WWE Championship match
Triple-H vs Kurt Angle
I was expecting a classic matchup here, but it turned out to be an average match that Bull Buchanan and William Regal could of put on. I think I was expecting too much when this one was announced. It wasn't as horrible as Triple-H's championship match two years later at the rumble. It's not ALL bad though as business does pick up ever so slowly during the end. Still a disappointment though. I was a huge Triple-H fan going into this match. Coming out, I don't think I was such a big fan of his anymore. *3/4 The Royal Rumble Match
The Rumble match was by far, the best rumble match ever. Two years later and they still haven't topped it. It featured a lot of surprises and a LOT of premier talent in WWE. Stone Cold Steve Austin, Undertaker and Kane, just to name a few. Trust me, there's a lot more than that. A really well booked royal rumble. Every second of it was exciting. ***** This pay per view was actually pretty good as it was the main buildup of the greatest show ever to grace pay per view: Wrestlemania 17. The rumble match was good, and a couple of the other matches were pretty good also. I would definately give this one a look if I hadn't seen it.

Review: 1.DUDLEY`S.VS.EDGE and CHRSTIAN good match DUDLEY'S win but it
could have been a table match or something else. 2.Y2J.VS.CHRIS BENOIT a match of the year that stole the show
this was a great ladder match Y2J won the IC champion. 3.IVORY.VS.CHYNA a short match and kind of stupid at the end. 4.HHH.VS.KURT ANGLE a slow match during the whole match HHH was
working on ANGLE`S leg but then STONE COLD came and hit HHH
with the stunner. 5.The Royal Rumble match had a lot of surprises and it was one

Review: The Royal Rumble is a cool ppv.The stage was dumb though.It gets about a 5/10.Some matches were cool and some dumb. Womens Title-Ivory vs.Chyna-Ivorys matches are really boring.It was fast though.4/10 Tag Team Titles-Dudleys vs.Christian and Edge-Some parts went fast and some went slow.It would have been better if it had a stipulation to it.7/10 IC Title in a Ladder Match-Benoit vs.Y2j-Awesome!Finlly a good Benoit and Jericho match.At first its boring.Than the moves on the ladder and chair shots come into play cool match.9/10 WWE Title-HHH vs. Angle-It could have been better.Big moves.It should have been a no dq or something.7.5/10 30-MAN ROYAL RUMBLE-Lots of big guys and moves.It was cool when they got out the hardcore stuff.It was cool when Drew Crary,Honky Tonk Man,and Haku entered.cool match.10/10 The Royal Rumble and the Ladder match was the best.8/10

Summary: Roya Rumble 2001
Review: This Rumble was pretty good. A good portion of the matches were good with the exception of probably one of the best Singles Ladder Matches ever (Benoit vs Jericho, IC belt on the line). The Championship match between HHH and Angle was pretty good and even the Tag Team championship between the Dudleyz and Edge/Christian was O.k. Match you could easily skip/fast forward through? Ivory and Chyna. I absolutely hated this match and still do to this day. I didn't like RTC (Right To Censor) Ivory and this match was totally one-sided and boring. Best thing about this match? It ended. The Rumble Match itself was great, with guest entries from WWE great The Honky Tonk Man and TV star Drew Carrey. Give it up to Drew on this one because he did help eliminate the Hardy Boyz. This Royal Rumble also saw some Hardcore rules in it as well and a great Rumble outing from Kane, probably one of his best Rumbles. I'd this one is worth checking out just on the basis of Benoit and Jericho's Ladder match. I still think that was one of the most memorable Ladder matches (TLC's NOT included, just Ladder matches). And again, the Rumble match was pretty good in this one as well. Check out ROYAL RUMBLE 2001 and also check out ROYAL RUMBLE 2002, INVASION and WRESTLEMANIA X7.

Summary: This was the 2nd ppv I'd seen
Review: This is a great royal rumble event and maybe the best rumble itself match 1 - tag team - Dudleyz vs. E&C - tag title - **** - great opener that got the croud into the event match 2 - ladder - Chris Jerico vs. Chris Beniot - IC title - ***** - this match is better than the great 2 of 3 falls they had at summerslam it kept the croud on the edge of there seat with hard hitting offense and admit it everyone loves seeing these two in these type of matches cause there so alike and technical and hell of a rivalry and always give a hell of a fight match 3 - single - Ivory vs. Chyna - Women's title - 1/4 star - the sleeper and letdown of the night and I must say that I knew that these two would perform one of the worst matches ever including heat raw and smackdown matches match 4 - single - Angle vs. HHH - wwf title - ****9/10 - great matchup between the two Trish and Steph get into a cat fight and the end of there fight was funny the distraction of the cat fight let Angle have time to regroup cause HHH was watching and HHH went to work on the leg but Angle reversed into an inside cradle but HHH kicked out I didn't like the interference ending match 5 - ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH!!!! - 27 known superstars 3 suprise guests - ticket to main event at WM 17 - ***** - perhaps the greatest Rumble match of all time and even if not it still was 6 star material with great suprises but ending is to predictable overall greatest Rumble from my point of view

Summary: What a Royal Rumble
Review: I have rented lots of WWF/WWE videos and this one is one of the first ones that i wanted to buy. Lets talk about the matches.(this does include spoilers) Edge and Christian vs The Dudleyz for the tag team championship.
This match was better than i thought it would be. Great spots, good storyline, you expected this match to be bad?! Dudleyz pull it off with the 3D and the win!!!... Jericho vs Benoit IC title ladder match. Wow, i've seen lots of ladder matches and all that, and this was the first one to make me say "havent they killed each other enough" Good grief at this match, it was beyond belief. I'd say buy this video just for that match. Jericho gets the win, Go Jericho Go... Chyna vs Ivory for women's title. DUD. Chyna injures neck, Ivory pins her for that for the win, but the match itself was ok. It was good they saved it up for WM17, even if the match was short. * Triple H vs Kurt Angle for the WWF Title. I expected this match to be way better, since their matches before than like at Summerslam and Unforgiven were better, but i was wrong. The main thing ppl remember about it is Trish and Steph catfight, as well as Stone Cold hittin the stunner to give Kurt the win. ** The Royal Rumble. Wow, I was impressed with Kane. Entered #6 and eliminated the last. Great spots in this match. Kane eliminatin lots of ppl with trash can lid, Big Show chokeslammin everyone, includin Rock thru a table, etc. Stone Cold gets the win even tho he used a chair, who i was rootin for. A great Royal Rumble with him winning it and going to Wrestlemania... This Royal Rumble was a great ppv. I'd recommend anyone to buy it. I'm gonna try and get it for Christmas. Maybe the best Royal Rumble ever.

Summary: WWE Royal Rumble 2001
Review: The WWE logo plays, and then a video package hits, with clips from past Royal Rumble events and several highlights of the 30 superstars who will be entering the Royal Rumble for the chance to win a WWE title shot at Wrestlemania X7. The Royal Rumble logo then flashes onto the screen, and it cuts to the arena where the pyro explodes and JR and Jerry Lawler welcome fans to the Royal Rumble, live from New Orleans, LA. Match No. 1 - The Dudley Boys vs. Edge and Christan for the WWE Tag Team Titles: Nice fast paced opening bout to kick of the show, and an excellent way to open the show with the very popular Dudleys taking on the Tag Team Champions Edge and Christian. Some nice spots and sequences, such as Edge stopping Christian getting the 3D with a spear, and Edge and Christian attempting their own "Wassup" headbutt. The Dudleys win the Tag Titles in 10:10, much to the pleasure of the crowd. Rating - 7/10 Match No. 2 - Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit in a ladder match for the Intercontinental Title: Brutal match up, with both Canadians pounding the living hell out of each other with the ladder and a steel chair. Notable spots include Jericho countering Benoits suicide dive with a thudding chair shot, and Benoit shoving Jeriocho off the ladder onto the ropes. Jericho wins after sending Benoit crashing to the floor at 18:48. Excellent match, among the best ladder matches I have seen. Rating - 9/10 Match No. 3 - Chyna vs. Ivory for the WWE Womens Title: Chyna, who had supposedly been injured by Ivory previously, was returning and looking for revenge against the RTC member. Chyna dominates the whole match, with clotheslines, a top rope snapmare, a overhead gorilla press and a nastly looking powerbomb. Its looks as though Chyna is going to capture the Womens belt as she sets Ivory up for a Somersault Elbow, but lands on her neck and reinjures it, allowing Ivory to get the pin at 3:33. A load of nonsense here, and Chyna gave out some horribly sloppy offense. Rating - 1/10 Match No. 4 - Triple H vs. Kurt Angle for the WWE Title: Both men enter with their respective managers, Trish Stratus and Stephanie McMahon. Both work a nice technical exibition, including many suplexes performed by Angle, Triple H punishing Angle with some hard hitting offense. Near the end, both hit their finishing moves, the Angle Slam and the Pedigree, but the referee gets knocked out. Angle hits a top rope arm drag, but Triple H counters and looks to get the pin, but Stone Cold interferes and helps Kurt Angle retain the title at 24:12. It lagged a bit in the middle, but other than that it was an excellent suplex filled battle. Rating - 8/10 Match No. 5 - The Royal Rumble: Great Rumble, with all the big name WWE Superstars involved as 30 men battle out to win a title shot at Wrestlemania X7. Several cool things happen, suchn as the Hardy Boys fighting one another, Kane staying in the Rumble an incredible 60 minutes, and Drew Carey making a special appearence. When Stone Cold makes his entrance, Triple H jumps him and pounds him into a bloody mess. Unphased, Austin enters the Rumble and eliminates the last particpant Kane, to win the title shot. Awesome Rumble, with lots of big name stars and hardcore carnage too. Rating 9/10 Summary: + Excellent Opener, which fires the crowd right up
+ Ladder match features lots of hard hitting offense
+ Strong match between Angle and HHH
+ Rumble does not dissapoint, and is one of the best I have seen - Chyna and Ivory assemble a horrible battle
- The crowd was very quiet during the WWE title match
- The PPV seemed to built around the HHH/Austin feud, making everything else seem less important. Overall, despite a few glitches, a great event, well worth buying. The Ladder match is a Match of the Year contender, whereas everything else bar the Womens match also includes top notch effort. Definately worth purchasing. Final Rating - 8/10

Summary: WHAT A WAY TO START THE YEAR!
Review: Amazing PPV! I loved it. The only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is Chyna's neck injury. But here are the rest of the matches.
1st MATCH:WWF TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Dudleyz vs. Edge&Christian. Cool match with concused Dudleyz vs. the champs E&C. Edge and Christian try a conchairto but get a 3-D. 1-2-3. I give it 8/10.
2nd MATCH:WWF IC TITLE LADDER MATCH: Benoit vs. Jericho. Amazing match. One of the best one-on-one ladder matches ever. More than ladders are used in this match. These guys gave it their all. Their efforts deserve a 10/10.
3rd MATCH:WWF WOMEN'S TITLE MATCH: Ivory vs. Chyna. Chyna had suffered a broken neck at the hands of Ivory five weeks before hand. Chyna re-injurs her neck. Worst match perhaps ever. 0/10.
4th MATCH:WWF CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: HHH vs. Kurt Angle. I hate both of these guys. But, I had to admire this match. Amazing display of power from HHH. Austin interferes and screws the Game. Awesome match though. 10/10.
5th MATCH: 30-MAN ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH: TO DETERMINE THE #1 CONTENDER FOR THE WWF TITLE AT WRESTLE MANIA X-SEVEN.
Sweet match that was completly unpredictable. With cameos by Drew Carey(hahahahhahahahahahahah), The Honkey Tonk Man(HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH), Big Show, and Haku. Undertaker and Kane had an alliance and elliminated quite a few people. Rock elliminates Big Show and gets chokeslammed through a table. When Austin shows up, HHH attacked him and damn near broke his skull. Somehow Austin crawls to the ring and starts whoopin' ... all over the ring. ... Now on to WRESTLE MANIA X-SEVEN!

Summary: Not the best at all, But hey its Royal RUmble a must own
Review: The Royal Rumble its self isnt the best,,, The Ladder Match is kinda long but very good,, I thin kthe Triple H vs. Kurt Angle was kinda lame they could have done some more thean attemp to sell an injury to the crowded...
You mostly see Sunday Night Heat clips as the special fueatures,, but it is kinda funny wear Drew Carry is in the Rumble and disqualifys himself!.
Its to bad this thing ran out of print about 3 to 4 months after its realse so now its pretty rare!
