Summary: 2nd Best PPV of 2003!!!!!!!!
Review: 40-50 Horrible PPV
51-60 Decent PPV
61-70 Great PPV
71-80 Memorible PPV
81-up Classic PPV
Chris Benoit v. Eddie Guerrero U.S. Title
This was a great way to kick off the PPV. Benoit & Guerrero put on an incredible match. Eddie wins the vacant U.S. Title. 9/10
Jaime Noble v. Billy Gunn
Noble and Gunn can put on a good match if you give them time. Noble wins with a roll-up and gets to sleep with Torrie. 4/10
APA Ballroom Brawl
This was funny as hell. I will give this a good rating because it is sick. Bradshaw wins the brawl. 6/10
World's Greatest Tag Team v. Rey Mysterio & Billy Kidman WWE Tag Titles
This was a great match. Kidman & Rey work very well together. The World's Greatest Tag Team didn't deserve to win. 8/10
Undertaker v. John Cena
This was a beating. Cena knew what was coming to him. Taker gets disrespected and he makes Cena pay with his blood. 8/10
Mr. McMahon v. Zach Gowen
This match was so stupid. Zach Gowen can't keep up with the boss. Mr. McMahon wins but bleeds like it's not funny. 5/10
Stephanie v. Sable
This match gets a good rating because A-Train comes down and smashes Steph to pieces. Sable capitalizes and wins. 4/10
Brock Lesnar v. Kurt Angle v. Big Show WWE Title NO DQ
This match isn't as good as people give it credit for. Kurt screws them both and the champ doesn't even get pinned. 7/10
This PPV gets a 76. It is a most memorible PPV. Get it its Christmas time.

Summary: awesome
Review: an awesome ppv from smackdown's 1st effort. equal to wrestlemania 19. only disappointment was no dvd extras. should have shown u.s. title tournament matches since they had 2 months to prepare. U.S. TITLE FINALS
EDDIE GUERRERO VS CHRIS BENOIT 8/10- another good match from these 2. they never fail to disappoint. suprise ending. APA INVITATIONAL BARROOM BRAWL 5/10- 22 men include APA, F.B.I., SEAN O' HAIRE, MATT HARDY, SPANKY, KANYON, BASHAM BROS., FUNAKI, SHANNON MOORE, ORLANDO JORDAN, LOS CONQUISTADORS, BROOKLYN BRAWLER, BRO. LOVE, DOINK THE CLOWN, EASTER BUNNY & JOHN & MATT FROM TOUGH ENOUGH III. good idea to allow the smackdown guys who never get on ppv to be in this one. where was rikishi & roddy piper? not very good but entertaining. several funny spots. INDECENT PROPOSAL MATCH
JAMIE NOBLE VS BILLY GUNN(TORRIE WILSON GOES TO NOBLE IF HE WINS) 6/10- very short match. should have been longer with return of gunn. noble should drop the pervert gimmick & focus on wrestling. WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS VS BILLY KIDMAN & REY MYSTERIO 10/10- a definite match of the year nominee. great moves throughout. should be a rematch. SABLE VS STEPHANIE MCMAHON 0/10- from the top to the bottom in a few minutes. this one should have been left off. horrible. awful. these 2 should learn how to wrestle. JOHN CENA VS UNDERTAKER 8/10- old school vs new school. good matchup. cena is improving every month. undertaker's best performance in a long while. MR. MCMAHON VS ZACH GOWEN 9/10- a wresler with one leg. history made here. gowen is much better than i imagined. great ending. WWE CHAMPIONSHIP(TRIPLE THREAT MATCH)
BROCK LESNAR VS BIG SHOW VS KURT ANGLE 10/10- an awesome main event for smackdown. big show is at the top of his game. angle shows no ring rust from neck injury. 20 minutes in this one flew by.

Summary: Third best PPV of 2003!! Only Below SummerSlam & Mania.
Review: As you all know,Vengeance is Smackdown's! first-ever PPV. And it's a Damn good one too! Lets get on with the review shall we...?
1.Finals of U.S Tournament,Chris Benoit Vs. Eddie Guererro.
WHAT.AN.OPENER. This Match was one of the ***BEST*** Openers I have ever seen in my life,And a MOTY (Match Of The Year) Candidate,It's a technical masterpiece from start to end,The ending was cheap though. 9/10.
2.Indecent Proposal Match,Billy Gunn Vs. Jamie Noble.
Meh is all I can say,The match itself was 3-4 minutes...Couple of good spots *Cough*TopRopeDDT*Cough* this was a FILLER. 4/10.
3.BarRoom Brawl.
HOLY SH** was what I said when I first saw this Brawl! Most of the people on Velocity and the people on mackdown! ((Not on a card in Vengeance)) were there,I'll tell you my favorite spots here. ***Spoilers..I guess*** 1.Easter Bunny getting shoved in that panel thingy. 2.V-1AAAAHH!! Legdrop on a table with the Bashams on it. 3.Shannon Moore Doin' a Somersoult(sp?) from the top onto Sean'OHaire! 8/10.
4.WWE Tag Team Championship,Billy Kidman & Rey Mysterio Vs. Worlds Greatest Tag-Team.
The Match doesn't look good on paper...But when you get to see it,it turns out to be ***MY*** 9th best match ever! Over 15 minutes of fast-paced action!((Mostly by Mysterio))All of us ((Even me...)) Thought it was over after Rey hit that Frankensteiner off the the top rope on Haas,Great finish With the WGTT Retaining. 10/10.
5.Sable Vs. Steph.
Nice match,Stephanie shows her rage on Sable,Not alot of moves were done here,and it was pretty short. Sure the Women don't know how to sell the moves but...anyway Nice looking Spear by Steph. A-Train comes into this match and Costs Steph the match. This sets up Steph Vs. Vinny Mac & 'Taker Vs. A-Train. 8/10.
6.Undertaker Vs. John Cena.
Cena sets up a lame-ass promo to the fans,Fast-Forward this please...Anyway,Onto the match. Sloppy and Short,REALLY Sloppy Undertaker was dominating Cena outside,And The way John Cena Sold that Chokeslam was even more pathetic than the Rock selling the Stunner,I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY THIS MATCH SUCKED BIG-TIME. 6/10.
7.Zach Gowen Vs. Vince McMahon.
O_o; I really wasn't excpecting much from this match and I really didn't,overall a nice match ((For a guy with one leg :-/)) Bad Bladejob by Vince at the end SICK. 7/10.
8.WWE Championship,Kurt Angle Vs. Brock Lesnar Vs. Big Show Triple-Threat-Match.
Did I mention it was no-disqualification rules?! Well...Now I did :-p VERY TIGHT match,A decent announce table bump by Big Show and we get some good action by Brock and Angle,Trashcan lids,Steel Chairs,Tables were all used in this match,Sick spot when Lesnar gets hit by the chair overall an outstanding match by 2 of the best in the Business ((Big show just sucks.)) 10/10.

Summary: Vengeance 2003
Review: Before I start I have to say I am a little biased because I like Raw better than Smackdown! US Title
Eddie Guerrero vs Beniot 6/10
Great match but with Rhyno coming in and screwing Beniot come on that was horrible. I didn't like that Beniot lost. If you want a great match between these two get Armageddon 2002. Jamie Noble vs. Billy Gunn 6/10
This was okay. Noble is a lucky son of a gun. APA Bar Room brawl 7/10
I liked this because Matt Hardy was in it and Funaki was just so funny. There were some old gimmicks like Doink the Clown and Brother Love. WWE Tag Titles 10/10
Billy Kidman & Rey Mysterio vs. WGTT
WOW!!! This match was perfect. I liked Billy Kidman in this match. He is amazing. Everyone else was great as well, but I think this was Kidman's match to shine!!! Sable vs. Stephanie 6/10
Sable and Steph were in a good cat fight. There were some great spots but the A-Train came in and ruined it. Undertaker vs Cena 8/10
This was a great match, but I liked the match between Kurt and Cena better. Undertaker was great as he always is. Vince McMahon vs. Zach Gowin 9/10
Great match with a lot of blood at the end. I am not a big fan of Zach but he had some great moves here. I think that Mr. McMahon was excellent in this match and it was good to see him win. WWE Title
Angle vs. Lesner vs. Show 8/10
I like this match but Kurt vs. Lesnar at Summerslam was better and after last years Triple Threat with Kurt, Taker, and The Rock it was hard to top. I was very happy that Kurt won the title. Excellent PPV once again I am biased towards Raw. Buy this DVD then buy Bad Blood!!!

Summary: An Brilliant PPV! History in the making
Review: By far, this was the greatest PPV I have ever seen! The best of the year so far and perhaps had some of the greatest matches ever to grace a PPV. Smackdowns very first PPV and Vengeance was so hyped up and the event truly lived up to its name. PPV kicked off with a hot and very loud Denver crowd exploding w3ith excitment and anticipation Ultimo Dragon v Kanyon
Very good opener! Fast paced, high flying and Dragon's WWE PPV debut. Plenty of action to get the crowd rolling and many high spots (Dragon's inspirational finisher) US Championship Finals
Chris Benoit v Eddie Guerrero
This was a classic display of techinal wrestling. One of the best matches I have ever seen and perhaps the match of the year so far! This was a huge diaplay of 100% wrestling and offense and these two great superstars put on one hell of a match. One for the ages. Many great spots and a very shocking ending! Benoit and Eddie are the best their is right now and whenever these two former best friends collide in the ring, you are guaranteed a great fight Indecent Proposal Match
Jamie Noble v Mr Ass
Okay match to keep the crowd buzzing. The PPV return of Billy Gunn and he proved that he still the the baddest dog. Great ending with a very funny outcome. Torrie looked great!!! Ist Ever Invitational Barroom Brawl APA
Barbaric Brawl and one hell of a sloober knocker. Fun to see all these Smackdown superstars get it on inside a bar ran by the ever so great APA. Fun to watch with plenty of hight spots (Matt Hardy's leg drop from the top of the stage) One to see! WWE Tag Team Championship
Worlds Greatest Tag Team v Rey Mysterio & Billy Kidman
The best ever Tag Match I have ever seen. Fast and furious action from start to finish loads of breathtaking moves and high flying techinques. Everything you would expect from a tag match. Smackdown has the best stars and this match proves it. Mysterio is a wrestling dream and what he does in the ring is inspirational. Got to see this match, fantastic! Undertaker v John Cena
Very good match and better then I thought. Cena has made his name after giving one hell of a performance. Taker is still the baddest dog in the yard but the New Skool proved that even he could go one on one with the deadman. Another classic match! Stephanie McMahon v Sable
Good match. Great ending. Mr McMahon v Zach Gowan
Bloody, brutal and one hell of a fight. I knew this match would be good and Gowan is excellent. What a match! The second best of the night. Venegance was truly upon both these two. Bloody and a nasty chair shot at the end. WWE Championship
Brock Lesner v Kurt Angle v Big Show
SHOW STEALER! Other than Backlash, this is the best main event I have seen this year. It turned out to be more like a street fight and their were so many high spots and great moments in this match. very bloody and loads of great moves, (Angle slams Show onto the announce table) (Lesner Powerbombs Show) What a main event should be. Very nerve shredding and breathtaking with a very, very good ending (I am an Angle fan) Great battle for the gold and a very good end to a fantastic PPV!

Summary: Great PPV!!! Smacdkown OWNS Raw!
Review: Chris Beniot Vs. Eddie Guerrero - US Title Finals (*****)
Great match just like any Beniot and Guerrero's matches, a surprise ending!!! Billy Gunn vs. Jamie Noble - Indecent Proposal Match (**1/2)
A pretty short match somewhat predictable. WG Tag-Team vs. Mysterio/Kidman - Tag Team Title Match (****)
All four superstars delivered a great match, great athleticism and prety entertaining. APA Barroom Brawl Invitatational (***)
Somewhat entertaining, basically this brawl (not a match) was made to use all the people who didn't have a match on the PPV. Sable Vs. Stephanie McMahon - Catfight (**)
A little let down, I have seen both women deliver a much better match before, but it told a story. Undertaker vs. John Cena (****)
Good match, both men showed what they can do, it wasn't a total squash by the Undertaker like usual. Vince McMahon vs. Zach Gowen (***)
Very dramatic, like him or not Vince can act. He was squirting blood out of his forehead, so it is entertaining. Angle Vs. Brock(c) Vs. Big Show - 3 Way/No DQ WWE Title (*****)
Very, very good match. Big spots, great moments, great athleticism, great match!!!

Summary: Vengeance 2003 best PPV of 2003?
Review: Chris Beniot Vs. Eddie Guerrero - US Title Finals (*****)
Totally loved the match I thought it was one of the best matches of the night - totally techniquall from Benoit with the funny segments in the match from Eddie. With many great spots. Could have been a Main-Event if it was for another title. Billy Gunn vs. Jamie Noble - Indecent Proposal Match (***½)
A short match but very entertaining always loved billy gunn in the mr. ass kinda thing and I like Noble's wrestling to. Great match could have been longer though. WG Tag-Team vs. Mysterio/Kidman - Tag Team Title Match (*****)
The third best match on the card after Angle vs Big Show vs Lesnar and Eddie vs Benoit. Much of the Mysterio thing and great match with many near falls that you thought it would be over.
Entertaining and hard-fought match - respect to the 4 guys. APA Barroom Brawl Invitatational (***)
Very entertaining and it was good to see some mid-carders on a ppv again. Like O'Haire and stuff. Nice spots in the match like the really career threatning Shannon Moore stage dive summersault to the concrete (very nice spot). Sable Vs. Stephanie McMahon - Catfight (***)
Nice to see both in the ring altough it could have been better. But we shouldn't forget that Steph isn't into really wrestling anymore and Sable is in WWE for man entertainment not for wrestling either. So that's why I give it 3 stars , for a good match from both women. Undertaker vs. John Cena (****)
Very good match Taker is finally ''back'' after some injuries.
Good ending because of the rise of Taker ones again. 4 stars for these match because it should have last a little longer. Vince McMahon vs. Zach Gowen (***½)
Vince is a real badass , I don't like both wrestlers but I should say they putted up an hell of a show. Angle Vs. Brock(c) Vs. Big Show - 3 Way/No DQ WWE Title (*****)
Very, very good match. Big spots, great moments, great athleticism, great match!!! - This was from the last review and I have nothing to say to that he's right I would have give it 7 stars out of 5 ;). Overall Great PPV certainly not a standard ppv.
One of the best of 2003 in my opinion.

Summary: Great!!
Review: Finals of the US Title Tournament
Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero
These two never disappoint. A great way to start the show and end a tourney that resurrected a good title.
Indecent Proposal Match
Billy Gunn vs. Jamie Noble
Boring.
WWE Tag Team Championship
World's Greatest Tag Team vs. Billy Kidman & Rey Mysterio
Wow!! Never expected this to be so good. A reunion of the Filthy Animals. I wish they teamed up more. Best tag team match of the year.
Stephanie McMahon vs. Sable
It's actually pretty intense. Not much wrestling but what do you expect.
APA Invitational
Fairly entertaining. Just an excuse to show off some cool bumps.
Undertaker vs. John Cena
Good brawl. Cena was really proving himself at this point. Taker gets a pretty good beating with a bloody nose to prove it.
Zach Gowen vs. Vince McMahon
Gowen is amazing. Plain and simple. His effort alone makes this match great. Vince bleeds quite a bit too.
Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship
Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show vs. Kurt Angle
Match of the night. Best triple threat in a long time up to this point. All three men take some good bumps. Kurt's return is capped by a great ending.
