Summary: Most entertaining of all Royal Rumbles....
Review: From beginning to end, this was a stand out pay-per-view..not just a Royal Rumble. Things started off in a very entertaining tag team championship match with Edge/Christian(c) vs. the Dudley Boyz. As much as I think E/C are the best tag team in the WWF, the Dudley Boyz proved me wrong. From there, the Intercontinental title was up for grabs in a tremendous Ladder Match between Chris Benoit(c) vs. Y2J. Ok, I'm a big Y2J fan, always been, since ECW, but, this match was one of his best..along with Benoit. Not only was this match scientific, it was brutal as well. The high point of the match was when Benoit did a suicide dive through the ropes to receive a chair shot to the face..must see to believe, definately a match of the year candidate already; like all Jericho/Benoit matches. The womens title was up for grabs shortly after. Ivory(c) vs. Chyna. This was entertaining, but, due to the 2 matches before, it didn't really get me going. The WWF title was up for grabs last as Kurt Angle(c) took on Triple H. Not only can these 2 get under your skin, but they sure can put on a great match. Though it had a screw job ending, Earl Hebner gets a nod from me for taking a couple of bumps. Now, the grand finale, the Royal Rumble match itself. Possibly, the best field of competitors in a very long time. Some could say that it was predictable, some would say otherwise. I was shocked as well as I was excited. Kane put on a monster showing as he lasted for over an hour. Drew Carrey made an appearance, along with the Honky Tonk Man and Haku (wcw's Meng). The highlight of the Royal Rumble itself was when Kane and Undertaker were in the ring alone and the clock counted down from 10 and Stone Cold's theme hit. Though Triple H ran interference before he could hit the ring, the atmosphere, anticipation, and guessing what would/could happen made me excited. If you think that the Royal Rumble event is predictable, this is the one that proved that wrong as Stone Cold Steve Austin rose above the other 29 wrestlers as he is on his way to the Wrestlemania X-Seven main event. So, from Jeff Hardy being #1 in the Rumble, to the mini hardcore Rumble, to Big Show making a return, and to Kane being last eliminated, the Royal Rumble match was the most entertaining of all matches. Definately, this is a must for all wrestling fans.

Summary: royalrumble2001
Review: To start off a new year WWF wanted to make this a memerable ppv, and they did just that. The 1st match was for the WWF Tag Team Titles The Dudleys vs Edge and Christan. Great opener and we do see the titles change hands. 2nd was for the IC title in a ladder match Benoit vs. Y2J. Y2J just proved him wrong just like what he was going to do. 3rd was for the Womens title Ivory vs. Chyna. Well the outcome is stupid with RTC beatin her. 4th is for the WWF title Kurt with Trish vs. HHH with Steph. Well although Kurt won it was because of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Now for the fastest 60 minutes on TV the Royal Rumble. It was the best Royal Rumble it had The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, ABA, Kane, Rikishi and some surprise people like Drew Carry, The Big Show, Honkey Tonk Man. Plus with another 22 superstars. And the winner is a person who has already won it 2 times Stone Cold Steve Austin making him the 1st to ever win the Royal Rumble 3 times. So buy this tape and THATS THE BOTTOM LINE CAUSE STONE COLD SAID SO.

Summary: The WWF is off to a great start!
Review: The most intense 3 hour PPV yet lived up to that phrase. Everyone I wanted to win did, the ONLY downfall is that Chyna hurts hurself. This is definitely worth the money to re-live it over and over. The matches are: 1-WWF Tag Team Championship: Dudley Boyz vs. Edge & Christian 2-WWF Intercontinental Championship ladder match: Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit 3-WWF Women's Championship: Ivory vs. Chyna 4-WWF Championship: Triple H w/ Stephanie vs. Kurt Angle w/ Trish Stratus 5-30 man Royal Rumble: The one man left in the ring after all 30 have entered will go on to WrestleMania to face the WWF Champion for the title.

Summary: last years was much better
Review: This event was a little weaker than I expected. It started off with a fairly good tag team match between the Dudleyz and Edge and Christian. As always these two teams put up a good effort and it was a good match. The next match featured Benoit and Jerich in a ladder match for the IC title. These two have proved they can peform great in a submission, two out of three falls or any other type of match and this match was no exception. Very fast paced and very brutal. Next up was Chyna nad Ivory. Pathetic match. After watching the WWF for over 10 years I have come to accept some things that in reality would never happen but this was too much to swallow. The WWF title was on the line between HHH and Angle. I wont tell you who wins but it had a bad ending with interference like most WWF title matches. The Rumble match itself is what brings this video down. In previous Rumbles men would be involved in a match and than would compete in the Rumble later in the night. They had men like Honkey Tonk Man and Haku (former WWF wrestlers) and even Drew Carey. What the hell are they doing in the Rumble instead of guys like Jericho and Benoit I will never know. Also in the Rumble match there were way to many times when there were only two or three people in the ring and the most was 8. I think the best Rumbles are the one's when many Superstars are in the ring at once. All in all a decent PPV but expected more

Summary: Great opening pay per view for 2001
Review: The 2001 Royal Rumble pretty muched lived up to the hype with some great matches and a awesome royal rumble match.The opening match is the Tag Team Championship match between The Dudley Boyz & champions Edge & Christian. Suprisingly good match between two of the most successful tag teams ever. Get everybody hyped up for the pay per view. Next is a ladder match between Chris Jericho & Intercontinental Champion Chris Benoit. Could be the match of the night. Features some brutal hardcore moves like, Chris Jericho's chair shot to Chris Benoit when he's jumping out of the ring. Highspeed match between these two talented athletes. The next match is Chyna vs. Ivory for the Women's Championship. This was on its way to being a pretty good match but ends with Chyna reinjuring her neck. Better than there Wrestlemania match but the ending is worse. The WWF Championship match between Champion Kurt Angle & Triple H, is an ok main event. Things get stupid when Trish Stratus & Stephanie McMahon Helmsley start having a chick fight in the middle of the ring. Match ends with Stone Cold interfering. The Royal Rumble match was full of surprises. Here are some highlights. Jeff Hardy enters the match at number 1, with his brother entering at #3. Its fun to see the Hardy Boyz fighting. Also, the Honky Tonk Man makes a special appearance, as well as Drew Carey, Haku, & The Big Show who gives a vicious chokeslam to The Rock on the announcers table. Most people should be impressed with Kane on this DVD, as he was in the match for over and hour, and elimanted more people than anyone. Other participants inlcude The Undertaker, Stone Cold, The Rock, & Rikishi.

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: Wow Great Rumble Match
Review: This PPV was a decent event and I ordered it but never remember it so I got it on DVD.
Royal Rumble Match was one of the best Royal Rumble's ever. It was a great match and at the end Stone Cold Steve Austin won and goes to WrestleMania. (4.5/5)
Kurt Angle vs. Triple H for the World Title. This was a decent match but nothing like a great match but it delivered. Kurt Angle retained the belt in, once again a decent match. (3/5)
Ivory vs. Chyna for the Women's Title. This was going to be a good match but Chyna broke her neck and it was kind of cool seing someone fake a broken neck. Ivory retains her title. (2/5)
Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit in a Ladder Match for the IC Title. This was a great ladder match and I don't think it's one of the best ever it is still good. When Jericho does the Walls of Jericho on top of the Ladder my mouth dropped open and Jericho wins the IC Title. (4/5)
Dudley Boyz vs. Edge & Christian for the World Tag Titles. This was as good as the world Title match because in this match we had a title change hands. The Dudleyz win the gold, again. (3/5)
Overall this PPV was about a 3 and a half but it was more of a 3 then a 4. Probably don't buy but go out and rent it now.

Summary: One HARDCORE Rumble!
Review: Match #1 Edge & Christian (c) vs. The Dudleys for the WWF Tag Team Championships: Good match! Not the greatest, but good! Some nutty stuff happened at the end. Dudleys win the belts! The only reason I'm giving this a 6 is cuz the Hardys are better than both of these teams! TESTIFY!!! 6/10
Match #2 Chris Benoit (c) vs. Chris Jericho ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship: Match of card!!! Non-stop action throughout the whole freakin' thing! Eventhough Benoit lost the title he still proves that he is the best here! He took some INSANE shots like the flying chair shot and the Walls of Jericho on top of the ladder. Benoit should have won! 10/10
Match #3 Ivory (c) vs. Chyna for the Women's Championship: HORRIBLE! Ivory got her (...)handed to her while Chyna obliterated her all over the ring. Stupid ending when Chyna broke her neck and Ivory retains. And I'd just like to note: It seems WWE felt sorry for all of the worst wrestlers in the business, in 2001, and felt they had to give them a push...so, the worst group of all time, was born...Right to Censor SUCKS! 0/10
Match #4 HHH vs. Kurt Angle (c) for the WWF Championship: Great title match eventhough I never have and never will like HHH. HHH will never be the star that Austin, Rock, or even Ric Flair are no matter how many times he is pushed as champ, and this match was the start of all of that! Thank God Stone Cold saved this match and destroyed HHH. Kurt retains, it's true, it's true!!! 8/10
Match #5 Royal Rumble Match: Awesome rumble! It was practically a Hardcore Rumble for a little while there with all the crap in the ring! Great performances by Rock, Kane, and Stone Cold! Plus the editions of Drew Carey and The Honky Tonk Man made it funny as well! And Rikishi sucks, he didn't deserve #30 and he even eliminated Undertaker! HHH also tried to get revenge on Austin but it didn't work cuz Stone Cold won!!! 10/10
This DVD had a lot of extras and the match taped for HEAT with Kai En Tai and Lo Down. Kai En Tai is hilarious! Basically this is a great DVD. You should buy it! Just skip past Chyna and Ivory and don't watch the Right to Censor extra...they re horrible!!!
