Rating: Summary: 2003 Didn't Start Off On A Good Note For RAW Review: There was one reason why 2003's Royal Rumble was disappointing. That reason was Scott Steiner! He proved that he didn't deserve to be in a high profile PPV match. He was slow and clumsy. I wouldn't be surprised if HHH confronted him in the back about his sub-standard performance.The match between Brock and Big Show was predictable. Everyone on the planet could have picked Brock to win that match. The match between Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit was by far the best match of the night (and a match of the year candidate). These two always give a great effort. Benoit and Angel received a standing ovation after the match was over. This was a good PPV, but the RAW matches kept it from being great. I would give it a 3* rating out of 5.
Rating: Summary: Raw & SmackDown present WWE Royal Rumble 2003 Review: WWE Royal Rumble 2003 was brought to you live from the Fleet Centre in Boston, Massachusetts. This event was a little disapointing for me. So, Okay let's get started. (Note: These matches are not in order as they commenced) 1. World Heavyweight Championship Match: Scott Steiner def. Triple H via DQ meaning Trips keeps the title This match was superb. But it would have been better if the match didn't end with DQ. I mean never end a title match at a PPV via DQ. It destroys the match ohwell it was still good Star Rating: 5 2. WWE Championship Match: Kurt Angle defeated Chris Benoit to retain the WWE Championship This match was also great but sometimes bored me. But still was great. Good to see the aftermatch of the match Star Rating: 5 3. Royal Rumble Match: Brock Lesnar threw Undertaker over the top rope to become the No. 1 Contender for the WWE Championship at Wrestle Mania XIX The Royal Rumble Match disapointed me. But always great to see SmackDown supertars fighting Raw superstars. Ending sucked! Star Rating: 4 4. Winner get's a spot in the Royal Rumble Brock Lesnar defeates Big Show w/ Paul Heyman This match was good but not great. It was a bit short and Heyman just disgusts me so that also brought the match down aswell. Star Rating: 3 5. World Tag Team Championship Match: Dudley Boys def. William Regal & Lance Storm to become the new World Tag Team Champions. This match was allright could've been better since all four men are quite accomplished wrestlers. Star Rating: 2 6. 1st Ever Stepdaughter vs. Stepmother Match: Oh my god this match was absolutely horrid. SmackDown Divas absolutely suck at wrestling. As if you would have a SmackDown Diva Match at a PPV. There are at least 10 divas on Raw that wrestle good, Choose two of them to be on the card. Star Rating: 1 Overall Star Rating: 2.5 Comment: Okayish If you love the Royal Rumble Matchs or your favorite superstar is on the card get it either than that keep it out of your wrestling collection
Rating: Summary: Bad matches and good matches Review: Rating out of ***** Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show ** Survivor Series Match was better Dudley Boys vs. Regal/Storm **1/4 Its good seeing dudleys back together, but this match wasn't that great. Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie .5 Snorefest along with the next match: Scott Steiner vs. Triple H 0 17 minute snorefest.

Rating: Summary: Ths worst Royal Rumble Review: Im not gonna name the matches because im not gonna review matches that wasnt good. The only match that was good was Kurt Angle vs Benoit
Rating: Summary: Royal Rumble 2003 1 Word: Awsome Review: This is one of the best Royal Rumble PPV I've ever seen. If your looking forward to purchasing this movie, than you will not be dissapointed.I will rank the matches out of 10 stars. Winner Advances To No.30 Spot In The Royal Rumble Brock Lesnar VS Big Show 7/10 This is a pretty good opener to the Royal Rumble.This match always kept its pace going. Sometimes it got real slow but always recovered. Although short, this was a very good opener to the show. World Tag Team Championship Lance Storm And William Regal VS The Dudley Boyz 9/10 This match was great. There is alot of action happening in this one. There was alot of times were William Regal had tooken out his Brass Knuckles but the Dudleys fought hard. This match is diffinetly one of the best tag team match I have ever seen. First-Ever Stepdaughter VS Stepmother Match Torrie Wilson VS Dawn Marie 0.5/10 This is the worst match on the card. These matches are always lame. The Promos for this match were longer than it. Why This match got this score is self-explanatory. World Heavyweight Championship Triple H VS Scott Steiner 9/10 I don't know why people don't like this match but it was entertaining. Steiner and HHH gave their best preformance and made this match entertaining. There was alot of Triple H trying to disqualify himself and Ric Flair giving Steiner some Cheap Shots. This is a great match and it deserves a great score. WWE Championship Kurt Angle VS Chris Benoit 10/10 This is the best match on the card besides the Royal Rumble. This is the best preformance from Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle I've ever seen. These two gave it their best and really pleased the crowd. This is a graet technical and submission type fight. With a match this big and the Championship on the line, this got the best score. Royal Rumble 10/10 Raw Participants Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Christopher Nowinski, Christian, Tommy Dreamer, RVD, Jeff Hardy, Rosey, Test, Jamal, Kane, Booker T, Maven, Goldust and Batista Smackdown! Participants Rey Mysterio, Edge, Chavo Guerrero, Tajiri, Bill DeMott, B2, Matt Hardy, Eddie Gerrero, John Cena, Charlie Haas, Rikishi, Shelton Benjamin, A-Train, Brock Lesnar and Undertaker This is one long, awsome, decietful, dangerous match. Long Story short, this was the best with exceptions of the Angle/Benoit match that this was the best match. Score: 40/60 Technically (Fast-Forward womens match) 60/60 This is a totally helpful review.
Rating: Summary: Benoit/Angle Stole The Show......I Know, You're Shocked Too! Review: Oh boy, this PPV is the first of many trainwreck PPV's in the WWE this year. Brock vs. Big Show (winner gets spot in Royal Rumble)(**1/2) Not a bad match, problem though, this one here should of been the main event for the Smackdown telecast leading up to the PPV, instead of it being on the PPV. There we would of had time for say a WWE Tag Title Match or maybe Women's Title match, or say a Cruiserweight Title Match. Storm & Regal vs. The Dudley Boyz (***) Not a great match, but a good match. Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie (-*****) How do you follow up a lame attempt at softcore porn featuring these two. Put them in a crappy match. Dawn has been so misused in the WWE. She's a vixen, who's suppose to be managing. Instead she's involved in the second worst stoyline in 2002 (Katie Vick was #1), and was in the worst match of the year, until..... Triple H vs. Scott Steiner (-*****) This bad boy here. I felt bad for H, he's no where near what he was in 2000 and early 2001, but he's not at fault here. The man was wrestling himself for crying out loud, and if you pay attention, you can see him bitching at Steiner. Steiner did the same move for about five minutes. This should be the worst match of 2003, but later we were treated with the epic Albert vs. Stephanie Match on Smackdown in the summer. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit (*****) Best match of 2003, but it wouldn't of hurt to have Chris go over here and at least drop it at No Way Out. Royal Rumble (***1/2) I loved the beginning, how Jericho eliminated Shawn Michaels early. That's classic and will go up there in Royal Rumble folklure. All the workers did a great job early on, but it went south after Jericho was eliminated, and picked back up when Lesner came in and eventually won it. Taker returned at #30. Wasn't all around bad, but please to avoid self torture, it would be wise to skip the Dawn/Torrie match and the classic Steiner/Triple H match as well. Benoit and Angle saved and made the PPV.
Rating: Summary: Not a great Rumble but not unbearable! Review: This one was a mixed bag. It had decent matches, one great match and one that was pretty bad. Brock Lesner Vs. The Big Show - Decent opener but definitely not as good as their encounter at Survivor Series 2002. The Dudley Boyz Vs. William Regal/Lance Storm (RAW World Tag Team Championship Match) - Not a bad match. Torrie Wilson Vs. Dawn Marie - Painful to watch! Mercifully short! Scott Steiner Vs. HHH (RAW World Heavyweight Championship) - This has to be one of the worst bouts ever! Neither are what they used to be! Plus, HHH said he went 30 minutes but I timed out that bout it was at least 18. Chris Benoit Vs. Kurt Angle (Smackdown World Heavyweight Championship) - This match saves the card right here! It was a WAR! The Royal Rumble Match - Wasn't a great Rumble but didn't suck either. Watchable. Overall, not bad but wouldn't recommend it unless you just like to collect the cards like I do.
Rating: Summary: Two words...Angle/Benoit! Review: The 2003 Royal Rumble is solid show, with some good wrestling. When I say wrestling, I mean Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit. These two put on possibly the greatest match in WWE history. The rest of the card is pretty average, except for one really, REALLY bad match. Below is a list of the matches and their rating on a scale of 5 stars. World Heavyweight Championship match Triple-H vs Scott Steiner This match is by far, the WORST match HHH has ever been in. I thought Booker-T was bad, but Steiner is HORRIBLE. It's very hard to sit through this boring match. Steiner is clearly the face here but he sucks so much that the crowd actually pops for Triple-H! The worst thing about this match is, that it's 20 minutes long. And even after it's over, there's a very slow, boring beatdown afterwards. Bad match. Steiner is not main event material at ALL! 1/4* Brock Lesnar vs Big Show (winner advances to Rumble) This is the opening match, and it isn't too bad. I guess they were trying to make up for their horrible match as the Survivor Series. Some solid stuff, even the Big Show gave it his all. *** Torrie Wilson vs Dawn Marie This is the big blowoff to the stupidest, and most dragged feud in WWE history. Ah well, thank god the feud's over. As for the match, it was about * Lance Storm and William Regal vs Dudley Boyz Not surprisingly a good match, since Lance Storm is awesome and the Dudleyz can work with almost anyone. Regal is alright too, I guess. *** WWE Championship match Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit The best match on the card. Probably the best match in the history of WWE. A definite classic. Benoit deserves a title run soon and after his performance here, he probably will get it. ***** Royal Rumble Match The rumble match wasn't that great, but it was better than most. There was some good talent in the Rumble, but some weren't used as big a threat as a thought. Hell, Shawn Michaels wasnt in the ring for 2 minutes. The rumble did, however, see the return of the Undertaker. The match was rushed during the end, as superstars were coming out every 30 seconds, but it was cool because the action in the ring kept everyone's eyes off the clock. Overall, a good rumble. ***1/2 This ppv is features some good matches, but Angle/Benoit definately stole the show. The rumble match was good as well. Definately, give this ppv a look.
