Summary: WWE Armageddon 2003
Review: This was a good PPV, but not great. The match between Kurt Angle & The Bigshow turned out to be pretty good, with plenty of great effort by both men. The tag-team elimination match (The Dudley Boyz vs. Regal/Storm vs. Jericho/Christian vs. Booker T/Goldust) was surprisingly very good. One of the best tag team matches I've seen in a while. However, the 2 out of 3 Falls match between Shawn Micheals & Triple H was a bit disappointing. It dragged on way too much and was too long! It was very slow at times and the action was a bit bland. The part in which Shawn Micheals whacks Triple H over the forehead w/ a burning 2X4 wrapped in barbed wire is quite interesting. Also, the cage match was entertaining in some ways, especially at the end when Shawn leaps off the cage and crashes HHH through a table! The climax in the 3rd Fall (ladder match) was obviously stolen from the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches, but it's still cool when Shawn is shoved off of a ladder through 4 stacked tables! Guess who wins?!!!
Buy this video to add to your collection of wrestling tapes.
You'll watch it from time to time. Buy the Survivor Series-Elimination Chamber on DVD. You'll get your moneys worth much more.

Summary: Probably the 2nd best ppv (next to Survivor Series 02)
Review: This was an amazing ppv and worth watching on DVD. Here's the matches:Four Way Elimination Match for the World Tag Team Titles: Jericho and Christian vs. Booker T and Goldust vs. Regal and Storm vs The Dudleyz. Great match, especially when it was down to Booker T/Goldust and Jericho/Christian, when it got really good. Booker T and Goldust leave with what they deserve: the World Tag Titles. ***1/2(outta *****)<...** Extras include 5 interviews, and the #1 Contenders Match on SD(Edge vs Eddie vs. Benoit vs. Kurt), which is worth watching on the DVD. This DVD was amazing, and had everything i expected: Good Matches and good surprises.

Summary: December 2002 - Office Depot Center - Fort Lauderdale, FL
Review: Very weak effort by the WWE to end the year. The PPV is alright for a couple of matches, but some are horrible.
1. Booker T & Goldust vs. Christian & Chris Jericho vs. William Regal & Lance Storm vs. The Dudley's (World Tag Title/Fatal Fourway Elimination Match)
Good way to kick off the show. Probably the second best match of the night. The finish between the final two teams is very good and filled with a lot of near falls. (8.5/10)
2. Edge vs. A-Train
This was the beginning of the WWE's attempt to bring up A-Train, to no avail. Nothing at all happened in the match. Very boring, except for the post match action. (6.5/10)
3. Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit
What could have been a classic match was very slow and sloppy. For some reason these two just did not have it together on this night. Very, very disappointing. (7.5/10)
4. Kane vs. Batista
This is Batista's first match on a WWE PPV. One of the worst PPV matches of the year. Very slow and very boring. Horrific. (5/10)
5. Trish Stratus vs. Victoria vs. Jacqueline (Women's Title/Triple Threat)
Who cares. Actually, it wasn't that bad. (5/10)
6. Big Show vs. Kurt Angle (WWE Title)
Okay match. Once again Angle has to carry someone throughout a match. Just nothing very good in the match. Lesnar makes an appearance. (7.5/10)
7. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H (World Heavyweight Title/2 out of 3 Falls Match)
1st Fall/Street Fight
Longest segment of the match. It started out kind of slow, but had a good ending. They even brought back the two-by-four rapped in barbed wire and lit it on fire. (8.5/10)
2nd Fall/Cage Match
Good segment. Flair took a good beating in this match. Crazy spot when HBK jumps off the top of the cage and onto Triple H, through a table. (9/10)
3rd Fall/Ladder Match
Another good segment, but slow. Michaels takes a nasty bump falling off the ladder and through four tables. Good match, just a bit short. (9/10)
Overall, this match was good. It suffered because Triple H was hurt and really couldn't do much. Overall match rating: (9/10)
This DVD is not really worth picking up. The main event sounds better than it actually was. One worthwhile thing about this DVD is the extra match which featured a Fatal Fourway Elimination #1 Contender Match on Smackdown which featured Kurt Angle, Edge, Chris Benoit, and Eddie Guerrero. Great match, with many, many close falls. (9/10)
Overall Rating: 7/10

Summary: A decent ppv
Review: When I saw this ppv I have to say I was hesitant to oder it. The only match I was really looking forward too was the Main Event. However once I saw this in its entirety I realized I did not waste my money. The extras on the DVD are okay, but could have been better, but several matches on the wrestling card made up for it.
Fatal Four Way match for Raw tag team championships: This was good for an opener. The crowd was excellent since they were way in the corners of Booker T and Goldust or the Dudley Boyz. I was surprised to see the Dudleyz eliminated so soon, but at least Booker T and Goldust won. A good match. 8/10
Edge vs. A-Train: This was a sort of dissapointment since Edge used a chair to get DQ. This is where Albert would formally become A-Trian, dont know why he changed it to that but anything is better than Albert for him I guess. Slow match. 7/10
Kane vs. Batista: This was strength and power vs, strength and power. I can still not see Batista as strong as Kane, but somehow he keeps knocking him down. Flair makes his prescence known and causes Kane to lose. This was a good match, but only for RAW. 7.5/10
Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero: A good match but slow in some spots. Benoit gets payback from Eddie after Eddie cost Benoit the title shot. The match was very back and forth and Benoit finally gets the win after making Eddie tap out to the crossface. A great match. 8/10
Triple Threat Womens Match: Not very good, this was just a card filler in my opinion. Victoria wins. 6/10
WWE Championship Match: This was good and suspenseful. When A-Train came out again and ran over Angle the entire crowd went into a confused state. Then Brock Lesnar comes out and ruins the match, not that I am a Big Show fan, its just Angle should have done the angle slam after the interference. The ending looked like Angle won just because of Brock. Still a good match between these two. 9/10
Two out of Three falls match: Match of the night. The videotape at the beginning of the match is really awsome. HHH and Shawn's entrances are awsome in this one. Out of all three matches the best would be the cage match. Garbage cans, chairs, and even a table was used when shawn jumped off the top of the cage onto HHH through a table. The street fight was kinda slow but it does have Shawn hitting HHH in the face with a BURNING barbed wire bat. The ladder match also had Shawn falling off the top of a ladder through four tables. This was a great match. 10/10
The extras have 5 interviews and the Fatal Four Way match for the #1 contendership for the Smackdown title. That was a good match and Angle gave an Angle slam to edge off the top rope!
Also, too the guys, the torrie wilson and Dawn Marie footage is off the page also. The crowd and Al Wilson are kind of annoying though.

Summary: Armageddon 2002
Review: While not quite as strong as "Survivor Series", I found "Armageddon" to be a good PPV with a few duds but also some great matches as well. Shawn Michaels and Triple H steal the show with their epic 2/3 falls match. FOUR-WAY ELIMINATION MATCH FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: CHRIS JERICHO & CHRISTIAN (champions) VS. BOOKER T & GOLDUST VS. THE DUDLEY BOYZ VS. LANCE STORM & WILLIAM REGAL The Dudleys and Storm & Regal get eliminated almost at the same time way too early in the match. Jericho & Christian and Booker T & Goldust put on a fairly decent match. Christian and Goldust aren't really in the match as much as Jericho and Booker T are but there is a strong effort. A lot of "long" 2 counts at the end attempt at making it a nail biter but it just seems to be kind of boring. Booker T hits the bookends on Jericho for the win. *** EDGE VS. A-TRAIN A short and lame match up that ends in a disqualification when A-Train whacks Edge with a chair. Edge later beats him down with the chair. ** EDDIE GUERRERO VS. CHRIS BENOIT One of the best matches on the card features two top performers at their best. Guerrero has the upper hand most of the match but even when Chavo interferes, Benoit battles them off. Guerro taps to the Crossface giving Benoit the win. Great solid match. ****1/2 KANE VS. BATISTA with RIC FLAIR Uneventful and short, Batista hits the powerbomb for the win. Just unnecessary filler really. But Batista definately shows signs of being a great villian. **1/2 TRIPLE THREAT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH TRISH STRATUS VS. VICTORIA(champion) VS. JAQUELINE The lead up to this match might be longer than the actual match. Really just another filler match. Victoria retains. WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: BIG SHOW (champion) VS. KURT ANGLE Without a doubt, this is Big Show's best match. Both men give a good dramatic performance. Angle hitting the Olympic Slam on Show is definately the highlight. A-Train interferes and hits a back breaker on Angle and then Show choke slams him. To save the day, Brock Lesner runs out and hits the F-5 on Show. Angle crawls to cover Show and gets the pin. Once again, Kurt Angle is champion. Great match. **** WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
2/3 FALLS SHAWN MICHAELS VS. TRIPLE H The first fall is a street fight which goes all over the place. Triple H comes out on top when he hits the Pedigree on HBK. His memento lasts much of the Steel Cage match which makes up the second fall but he falls short due to some Sweet Chin Music. The third fall is a fairly short ladder match and HBK almost retains his title when Triple H pushes the ladder sending him through a bunch of tables. Triple H wins the fall and the match. This is a true classic. Shawn Michaels coming back after years of being out is amazing. This was a true Show Stopper. One of the best matches of the year. ***** PPV RATING: ***1/2

Summary: Armageddon fails to impress!
Review: With only seven matches on the card and a shortage of DVD Extras, WWE Armageddon fails to impress. Let us review the matches:
1. Four-way elimination match for the world tag team championship: Y2J & Christian vs. Booker T & Goldust vs. Dudley Boyz vs. Lance Storm & William Regal 6/10
* Rather boring but some great technical wrestling put on by Jericho and Regal
2. Kane vs. Batista with Ric Flair 5/10
* No real buildup and the big guys put on a less than great match
3. Edge vs. A-Train 7/10 * Edge is awesome in this match and Albert is also impressive, lacked a chemistry between the two
4. Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero 9/10
* A pure technical wrestling show with some awesome false finishes, a show stopper
5. Trish Status vs. Victoria(champ) vs. Jacqueline 5/10
* Typical boring woman's match, no good spots and no sparks
6. WWE Championship Match: Big Show vs. Kurt Angle 6/10
* Kurt Angle, as always, puts forth a good match, too many mat moves(submission yin-yang), Brock Lesnar makes an impactful appearance, Big Show disappoints
7. World Heavyweight Championship, Two-Out-Of-Three Falls: Shawn Michaels vs. HHH with Ric Flair 9/10
* An absolutely thrilling match and the video package beforehand is impressive, a couple of great spots with a breath taking finish. For this match alone the DVD is worth 25 bucks.
DVD extras: 5 exclusive interviews
Extra match: Fatal four-way elimination match to
determine the No. 1 contender, from
Smackdown 12.5.2002
The Torrie Wilson & Dawn Marie footage is lackluster and severely disappointing, shows the two in their panties. Al Wilson, now supposedly dead, also appears.

Great opener. The crowd really wanted Booker T & Goldust to win and they did. I was so happy they were one of my favorite tag teams. Edge vs. A-Train 3/10

Summary: "a good event to at least rent and possibly buy"
Review: WWE Armageddon 2002 is a solid pay per view (ppv) that will keep your attention and entertain you through out the show. This show was expected to have revealing footage of Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie, Do not expect anything from that. Below is a review of all the matches, the overall extra features and the overall DVD, hopefully it will help you decide if you should buy this DVD or not. The review will not directly give away who wins any of the matches but the winner may seem pretty obvious by my explanations of the matches. ( Match Reviews ) --- Four-Way Elimination Match for the World Tag Team Championship - Chris Jericho and Christian Vs Booker T and Goldust Vs The Dudley Boyz Vs Lance Storm and William Regal --- This was a good opener that moved quickly and contained some funny moments. Goldust surprised me once again in this match as he not only wrestled well but he played his character of the weak link well to, not to mention Goldust took some bigger than usual bumps. The last two teams put on quite the performance with many near falls and exciting moments, good tag match. (6/10) --- Edge Vs A-Train --- This was unexpectedly a pretty good match, better then anything I have seen from A-Train. The match accomplished showing A-Trains strength and contained some high spots. The match ends in DQ, after the match is over there is quite the beating with a chair. Nothing to special but still better then I expected. (5/10) --- Chris Benoit Vs Eddie Guerrero --- This was a great match however it was still a disappointment, The pace was much slower then I expected it to be and there was not many of those fast move to counter wrestling sequences to be found. The match was filled mostly with great submissions and submission countering. The crowd at one point started chanting boring and I really have no clue why, I guess Japan type wrestling doesn't work to well in America. The match also contains some technical and high fly wrestling, sadly there is a interference in this match although it really didn't effect the match that much. Most of what these two do is perfected making them two of the best in the world, you should see the powerbomb. Good ending, great match, just not Eddie and Benoit's best encounter. (7.5/10) --- Kane Vs Batista --- This match was thankfully pretty short, there is not much to say about it. Batista could not get Kane up for the powerbomb in the middle of the match, however Batista eventually got him up and dropped him hard. This match was bad but it wasn't completely horrible. (3/10) --- Triple-Threat Women's Championship Match - Victoria Vs Trish Stratus Vs Jacqueline --- This was one of the better Women's matches I have seen in WWE, all women went full throttle in this short but fast paced match. There where a few moves done that aren't usually done by the women of WWE. Great effort from everyone in this match. (6.5/10) --- WWE Championship Match - Big Show Vs Kurt Angle --- I thought this was a very good match, just like the Albert match the Big Shows strength was shown in this. Kurt Angle almost broke his neck while attempting a moonsault off the top rope onto a standing Big Show. Kurt Angle actually flew quite a bit in this match. The end had interference's that I wish where never there but they where kinda necessary for story line purposes. Kurt pulled out one of the Big Show's best matches, Kurt Angle is so impressive he can pull a good match out of anyone. (6.5/10) --- Best Two-out-of-Three Falls for the World Championship Match - Shawn Michaels Vs Triple H --- I do not find this match as great as many other seem to, what you are getting in this is three matches in one, you are getting one average street fight, one average cage match and one poor ladder match. The match is just full of screw ups, drags on at points and is slowly paced, I guess that's because of the length of the match. Shawn Michael's just cannot leap off a ladder like he used to and he takes the pedigree worse then almost everyone. There is also a long period of time taken in the street fight and cage match setting up tables and not breaking them. This match however does have its moments, there is quite a bit of weapons and hard hitting action, there is one big move in each fall that are pretty good but at the same time they are things that have already been done before and done better. I easily give the wrestlers credit for taking the pain and putting in the effort that they did in this match, especially because they where both injured however it just didn't live up to what I was expecting. (6/10) ( Extra Feature ) The extras on this DVD fall on the short side, there is 5 exclusive interviews however the wrestlers are still in character and also tired from their match. The DVD also contains a extra and amazing match. It is a Fatal Four-Elimination Match to Determine the No.1 Contender from Smackdown on December 5, 2002, it is Chris Benoit Vs Kurt Angle Vs Eddie Guerrero Vs Edge, Very good match with close falls and a great finish. Very good match however overall lacking special features. (4/10) ( Overall DVD ) With only one match being lower then 5/10 I can say that pretty much the whole show was entertaining. Again the footage of Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie shows nothing so don't expect anything from that. Keep in mind that I rate women matches differently from the men's, so if you look at my scores and are wondering why I gave the women's match the same as Kurt Angle's match it is because I rate the women easier. No insult to the women's triple-threat however, they really did put on a good match. With good matches of different styles of wrestling I would say that this is a good event to at least rent and possibly buy.
