Review: Opening Match, Tag Titles: Dudley Boyz v Edge & Christian
Great opener, with plenty of cool spots here and there. ****Ladder Match, Intercontinental Title: Chris Benoit v Chris Jericho
Oh my God. This was one of the greatest matches I have ever seen. Y2J and Benoit beat the hell out of each other for nearly 20 minutes with a ladder. Lots and lots of brutal spots are included, such as the Headbutt off the top, the catapult with the ladder and Y2J smashing Benoit with a steel chair in mid-air! ***** This match easily deserves the 'Match of the Year' award. Women's Championship: Ivory v Chyna
This was probably the worst match on the card. Chyna damages herself, which ends the match, and the 9th Wonder of the World has to be taken out on a stretcher. * WWF Title Match: Kurt Angle v Triple H
...Yet another very good match, with fast-paced action and a decent ending. ****1/4 30-Man Royal Rumble Match
Final Four- Austin, Rock, Kane and Billy Gunn. Gunn is eliminated by Austin, and Rock is eliminated by Kane. This leaves Austin and Kane as the final two competetors. Overall, a decent rumble match, with a cool spot (Big Show choke-slamming Rock through an announce table) and plenty of quick-paced action. The match also features a Hardcore section, which was quite entertaining. ***3/4 Overall, this was an outstanding wrestling pay-per-view, that entertained me a lot, and had four (out of five) great matches. Highly recommended for any wrestling fan.

Summary: The build to WM X-7 begins.
Review: The WWF started off their 2001 with a darn good PPV. Austin was returning and entered into the Rumble, as was the Rock. Unstoppable force + immovable object = good Rumble. Tag Title - Edge/Christian vs. Dudley Boyz - Classic old-school match with E & C working over Bubba until the hot tag. Signature spots happen. Solid opener. ***3/4 Women's Title - Ivory vs. Chyna - Not much of a match. Chyna is "injured". DUD IC Title Ladder Match - Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho - This is the blow-off for their yearlong feud. This also started the trend of having a ladder match on nearly every PPV. That got old. Memorable spots see Benoit going for a tope only to have Jericho SMACK him right in the face with a chair and a Liontamer on the ladder. Pure ladder goodness here, but the ladder gimmick was already getting old. ****1/2 WWF Title - Kurt Angle vs. Triple H - Both guys are kind heels. HHH was more heelish. In fact, this match was really just a backdrop for Stephanie vs. Trish. Angle does a pretty good job playing babyface for the first time. ***3/4 Royal Rumble - Decent Rumble with Drew Carey making an appearance and Haku, Honky Tonk Man, and the Big show all returning. Kane goes for a long time in this one. Great performance there. The highlight, though, is the Austin-Rock showdown near the end. ***3/4 In the End: Good Rumble PPV. Not as good as the 2000 version, but eons better than 1999 and even better than the 2002 Rumble. Recommended.

Summary: Best Royal Rumble ever
Review: I have been a loyal fan of the WWE for the last ten years, and in that time I have seen a lot of Royal Rumble pay-per-views. While there have been many memorable Royal Rumble shows, I would have to say that the 2001 Royal Rumble was the best one that I ever saw. The actual Royal Rumble is absolutely outstanding. Most of the time, the WWE sticks a few stars in with 28 other wrestlers that no one cares about. However, the 2001 Royal Rumble had almost every major star competing in it. This made the match very unpredictable because any number of people could've won. One of the funniest moments of the night had to be when Drew Carrey of all people came out and competed as one of the participants in the Royal Rumble. However, the best match of the show would have to be the "Ladder Match" for the IC Title between Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit. This would probably rank in the top 3 ladder matches of all time. It was filled with tons of technical work and high flying action. The match went back and forth the whole time, and you are never quite sure who is going to win. The match for the WWE title between Kurt Angle and Triple H was also very satisfying as well. The 2001 Royal Rumble was one of the most entertaining and well rounded WWE shows I have ever seen. The DVD extras are also pretty good as well. This is truly a must for any WWE fan!!

Summary: A Rumble Turned Hardcore
Review: Rated 1-5 stars 30-Man Royal Rumble Match: To determine the number 1 contender for the WWF Championship at Wrestlemania***** WWF Championship Match: Kurt Angle w/Trish Stratus vs. Triple H w/Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley****1/2 WWF Women's Championship Match: Ivory vs. Chyna**1/2 WWF Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match: Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho***** WWF Tag Team Championship Match: Edge & Christian vs. Dudley Boyz**** The opener was for the Tag Titles where the Dudleyz Vs. Edge and Christian. It was a great match where the Dudleyz ending with a 3D. The second match was the IC ladder match. It contained action, pain and high risk-moves. But when Benoit fell off the ladder Jericho grabbed the belt. The Women's Title was a DUD, a total bad match, where Chyna re-injured her neck. Next was the WWF Title. I wish the Game didn't get screwed but it was a great match just the same. The Royal Rumble by far was the best, no offense to the other matches but this was awesome! There was many returns like the Big Show, Al Snow, Honky Tonk Man, and Haku. Also Drew Carrey was in it. It was turned into a Hardcore Rumble during the first half of the rumble. The second half was STUDS facing it off for the #1 contender ship. Austin won, but Kane deserved it. Must see and you got to buy it!

Summary: A mixed bag here
Review: Tag Team Championship Match: Edge & Christian (champions) vs. Dudley Boyz - A good opener. Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match: Chris Benoit (champion) vs. Chris Jericho - Match of the night in my view! Not the best one on one Ladder Match but definitely one of the better one's. Still haven't seen a one on one Ladder match to top the two classics from Shawn Michaels & Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall but this one comes pretty close! Women's Championship Match: Ivory (champion) vs. Chyna - This slaughter was kept mercifully short! WWF Championship Match: Kurt Angle (champion) with Trish Stratus vs. Triple H with Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley - Didn't live up to its potential at all. Having Austin interfere actually hurt Kurt more than helped as I don't think he needed it to beat HHH! Kurt more than proved that later on in the year thru now! Not one of HHH's best performances though no where near as bad as his matches with Scott Steiner in 2003. 30-Man Royal Rumble Match - Good energy from the crowd. Nice change by having it hardcore for a segment or two! I agree with one reviewer in that it should've been Austin Vs. Rock at the end instead of Austin Vs. Kane. A good Rumble match nonetheless. Overall, a good card but could've been better. Still worth viewing though.

Summary: 3.5 - 4.0 Stars! Memorable R.R. Match, GREAT Ladder Match!!!
Review: Here's the matches/the card: 1. Dudleyz VS Edge and Christian,WWF Tag Title Match: Good opener with a good storyline leading up to it.: What you'd expect from the two teams. Chairs, tables, some high spots, and a great opener. 2. Jericho VS Benoit, IC Title Ladder Match: GREAT match! Some sick spots, including a NASTY, ECW-style BRUTAL chairshot on Benoit by Jericho. Some VERY original uses of the ladder, including the Walls of Jericho on the top of it and Benoit's Diving Headbutt off of the top of the ladder. Amazing effort by these two soon-to-be-and-well-deserving legends. Once again, a GREAT match! 3. Chyna VS Ivory, Womens title: Gimmee a break! Same as their WrestleMania X-8 match, practically. Chyna's "injured." 4. Triple H VS Kurt Angle, WWF Title Match: Nice match. Could've been better. Nowhere near the Cactus/Hunter match from the 2000 Royal Rumble. Stephanie and Trish get into a catfight. Austin interferes and beats the hell out of Triple H, Stunner and all. 5. Royal Rumble: Kane stays in the ring for over an hour. Haku makes his return to the WWF after over five years in WCW and various other promotions. The Honky Tonk Man returns for a one-night (About two-minute) showing. Austin and Hunter brawl like hell. Drew Carrey enters the Royal Rumble. Undertaker and Kane prove they're on the same page. Austin and Rock get it on. Nice match, but it wasn't as good as the previous year's Royal Rumble Match. Austin sets a new record by winning a third Royal Rumble. Good overall show. Lived up to it's expectations, and POSSIBLY even exceeded them. It's a good show.

Summary: AWESOMENESS!!!
Review: Dudleys Vs. E&C:***1/2(out of 5) Pretty good, better than most tag matches I've seen. Jericho Vs. Benoit:***** Excellent match, 3rd best ladder match of all topped only by the Michaels/Ramon match and the trianlge ladder match at Wrestlemania 2000(16). Chyna Vs. Ivory:0 Almost as dissapointing as the Goldberg/Lesnar Match at Wrestlemania 20. Angle Vs. HHH:**1/2 Pretty lame, except for the catfight between Trish and Stephanie, and, my favorite part, Austin screwing HHH outta the title. The Royal Rumble:***** The best reason to buy the DVD is the best Rumble ever. Drew Carey was a pleasant surprise, Rock got chokeslammed through a table, and I couldn't think of a better final 2. Incredible. Overall:***** The Rumble alone more than makes up for the 2 lame matches. If you're a wrestling fan and you still haven't bought this, you need to seek help.

Summary: Very Good Royal Rumble This Year!!!
Review: Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit
these 2 did it again but this time in a gimmick match that was almost impossible for these two wrestlers not only to win but to escape escape alive. it was the exciting ladder match that was easily a match of the year canitdate, they tons of creative and oldskool moves into this amazing match the only problem is that the endign was a little weird that brought the rating of the match down a bit but not too much. these two always have great matches but this was one of the best matches they had together. ****1/2 is the rating i am give the match i would of have given it a ****3/4 but like i said i didn't really like the ending of the ladder match.

Review: Tag titles Dudleys V Edge & Christian
This was a good tag match opener with a fast pace, and the clips from RAW at the start were cool too. 7/10 IC title Ladder match Jericho V Benoit
A great match, the best of night except rumble itself. There were good spots, including a flying chair shot, and loads of other great bumbs. 8/10 Womens title Chyna V Ivory
This match was very boring and short. The ending was bad too, with Chyna getting hurt. Awful. 2/10 WWE title HHH V Angle
This was an ok match, but not that great since it was a WWE title match. The ending was cool though, with Austin coming in. 6/10 Royal Rumble
This was the best Royal Rumlble match ever and it had 4 surprise entrances as well! At one point it turned hardcore with loads of weapons. Rock is chokeslammed through the announce table by the Big Show! Also, Austin's entrance is great, with only Undertaker and Kane in the ring at that point. 9/10 Overall
This was a great PPV, worth it for the ladder match and the exceptional Royal Rumble match.
