Rating: Summary: Could Have Been A Lot Better Review: WWE Armageddon 2002 was an OK PPV. You would think the WWE would have ended the year on a better note. The PPV was held in December 2002 from the Office Depot Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This crowd was horrible. I will rank and review the matches. The matches are based out of 10 points.1. GOLDUST & BOOKER T (VS) CHRISTIAN & Y2J (VS) DUDLEY'S (VS) STORM & REGAL (WORLD TAG TITLE/FATAL FOURWAY ELIMINATION) Good way to open up the PPV. Storm and Regal are eliminated first and the Dudley's are eliminated second. The match really picked up with the last two teams. Great finish with a lot of near falls. Booker T & Goldust become new champs. It looked as though both teams were going to win many times. (8/10) 2. EDGE (VS) A-TRAIN Why did they have this match? I understand that Edge was sticking up for Mysterio, but who cares about A-Train. Edge wins by DQ. Edge beats A-Train with the chair after the match. (4/10) 3. CHRIS BENIOT (VS) EDDIE GUERRERO This match was good, but I thought it was goig to be a lot better. There are a lot of counters in this match. Benoit finally gets Eddie to tap to win it. Decent match. (7.5/10) Torrie & Dawn Marie meet in the hotel room. This is great. You have to see it for yourself. 4. BATISTA (VS) KANE Horrible match. Batista wins. (3/10) 5. TRISH (VS) VICTORIA (VS) JAZZ (WOMEN'S TITLE) I think Trish wins. (2/10) 6. KURT ANGLE (VS) BIG SHOW (WWE TITLE) Not a bad match. Of course, Angle makes every match good. There are really no high spots. Lesnar interferes and hits Big Show with the F-5. Angle gets the 1-2-3 to become new champ. (7.5/10) 7. TRIPLE H (VS) HBK (BEST TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS/WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE) FIRST FALL - STREET FIGHT This was the worst fall of the match. This match started out slow and went for a while. Good use of the two by four with barbed wire, lit with fire. Michaels suplexes Triple H through a chair. Triple H wins with the Pedigree. (7.5/10) SECOND FALL - CAGE While the cage was coming down Triple H loaded the ring with weapons. Flair gets involved and gets really bloddied up. Michaels gets the 1-2-3 after he Bodysplashes Triple H through a table after jumping off the top of the cage. (9/10) THIRD FALL - LADDER Good last fall. Michaels looks like he is going to win it, but Triple H pushes over the ladder and HBK fall through four tables. Triple H reaches the belt to become new champ. (9/10) Overall the match was OK. The ladder and cage matches were two short and the street fight was to long. Triple H was injured for the match, but still did a good job. Overall, decent match. It could have been put together a lot better. (8.5/10) EXTRAS The extras are worth the price of the DVD for one match. The Fatal Fourway Elimination match from Smackdown to determine the #1 contender for the WWE title. Angle, Benoit, Edge, and Guerrero are the participants in the match. This is an amazing match. Obviously Angle wins it. Angle & Edge show great chemistry. (8.5/10) Overall, the PPV was Ok. I recommend buying this DVD for the HBK and Tripel H match and for the extra match.

Rating: Summary: Not the best Armageddon, but surely a classic. Review: WWE Armageddon of 2002 was a great pay-per-veiw. But it did have its weak spots. It was held in Ft. Lauderdale Florida, but wait, wasnt that the same place WWF Armageddon 1999 was held? oh well so here is my reveiws of the Pay-Per-Veiw. being 1-10..... World Tag Team Championship Fatal 4 Way match: Dudley Boys vs. The un-americans vs. Booker T & Goldust vs. Chris Jericho & Christian This match was good but a bit boring in spots. but none the less a good match, lasting at about 20 minutes. I give it an "8" ----- Edge vs. A-Train(albert) good god why doesnt albert shave his freakin back? i felt sorry for edge for everytime edge grabbed a handfull of alberts back hair. this match was ok in spots but the ending was a dud. it would have been better if they let matt hardy take the spot that a-train got. I give it a "5" ----- Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guererro this match was great. lots of good submision holds, lots of good high flying action. I'm impressed with how eddie guererro is wrestling lately. i give it a "8" ----- Dawn Marie shows the lesbian footage between her and torrie wilson YYYAAYYYY!!!!!! i was anticipating this moment and boy did it make the ppv worth the money. the segment lasted a good 10 minutes. but all i have to say about it is "DAMN YOU AL WILSON!!!" but none the less, amazing! ----- Kane vs. Batista good match. bad ending. but boy does batista have some strenght. but of all the people to job why would kane pick this ... look alike guy to job on? i give it a "6" ----- Triple Threat match for the Womens Title: Trish Stratus vs. Jackie vs. Victoria this match .... all womens matches .... need i say more? i give it a "3" ----- WWE Championship: Kurt Angle(w/ brock lesnar) vs. Big Show (w/ paul heyman) this match was great. lots of intensity. when a-train came out you would think its brock lesnar at first, but then you notice the 50 pounds of hair on a-trains back. but THEN brock lesnar comes out and F-5's big show but screws it up. then the ending is a moment for any angle fans. but it was a good match. I give it a "9" ----- 2-3 Falls Match for the World Championship: 1st fall:street fight-2nd fall:steel cage-3rd fall:ladder match Triple H vs. Shawn Micheals(HBK) man this match was a classic. all though the beginning of the street fight was a bit boring it picked up when triple h grabbed a 2X4 wrapped in barbed wire and set it onfire via the armageddon set. hunter goes to hit shawn with it but shawn reverses and wacks the hel lout of triple h with it busting him wide open and leaving blisters on his forhead. now on to the 2nd fall. this is were it gets good. while the steel cage was lowering triple h threw in as many weopans as he could find. soon enough flair came out but had a raging fit when HBK knocked him down. flair is hilarious in this. but then shawn lays hunter on the table and HBK dives off the 15 ft. cage, onto hunter threw the table!!!! next fall was the ladder match. the shortest of the 3 falls. but flair set 4 tables up on the outside of the ring and soon enough after about 10 minutes of battling with the ladder, hunter was on top of the ladder and hunter knocked it over sending HBK threw the tables on the outside of the ring. new world champ, TRIPLE H. over all a great ppv but not the best armageddon, but none the less pick it up for the 2-3 falls match. its a classic.
