Summary: The best WWE PPV of 2002 and the best SummerSlam ever!
Review: WWE SummerSlam 2002 has o be the best WWE PPV of 2002 easily and quite possibly the best SummerSlam ever. This certainly is along with WWF Royal Rumble 2000 is my favourite WWE PPV of all time.

Providing commentary for the Raw brand matches is JR, Jim Ross and The King, Jerry Lawler. Providing commentary for the SmackDown! brand is Michael Cole and Tazz.

Kurt Angle VS Rey Myisterio ~ Fantastic, high flying fast paced action with a great in ring story being told and tremendous crowd reaction.

Chris Jericho VS Ric Flair ~ Good hard worked wrestling match form both Jericho and Flair with a really good controversial ending.

Edge VS Eddie Guerrero ~ Brilliant from top to bottom. Crowd excitement for Edge and great heat and ring psychology be Guerrero. A solid match up with two of WWE's up and comers.

WWE Tag Team Championships: Booker T and Goldust VS Lance Storm and Christian ~ Fast paced, exciting tag match. Great pops for Booker and "sick freak" and great heat for the Un-Americans.

Undertaker VS Test ~ Not like Taker and Test's usually snooze fests this is a good hard hitting, brawler match up. Focussed on the Un-American angle this turns out to be a very enjoyable match.

Inter-promotional Raw VS SmackDown! WWE Intercontinental Championship: Rob Van Dam VS Chris Benoit ~ This is just an amazing technical display with all of RVD's signatures this is a really, really good match.

Un Sanctioned match: Triple H VS Shawn Michaels ~ You have to see it to believe it. HBK after a 4 year broken back absence come back and shows why he is the Showstopa! This match will have you cringing every time Shawn bumps. A great match, a great triumph for Shawn, a great ending and great commentary from Jim Ross.

WWE Undisputed Championship: The Rock VS Brock Lesner ~ After a summer long of promoting Lesner the fans get the pay off with Rock VS Brock. A match of anticipation, power and the fans turning on the Rock!

WWE SummerSlam is a must buy for any WWE fan, trust me!

Summary: Great PPV
Review: As the former reviews have stated, it was a cool PPV, i too was in attendance, and was happy to say, at WM in Toronto as well, so I got to see prolly the 2 most anticpated matches of the Year, Rock/Hogan, and HHH/HBK....

About the PPV, I dont know about the DVD, most WWE DVD are pretty well put together, i wouldnt be surprised if there was Alt Comentary from HHH OR HBK, or interviews, i would Say its either gonna be that or Rock/Brock, although HBK's 1st match in 4 years was a little more important, well see though, its worth 4 stars just for the matches...

As for the matches, angle/Mysterio was the Best Match in my opinion, i am not really a Rey Fan, but he is ALOT more impressive Live, and THATS the truth...

I was hoping To see Benoit win, as hes my Fav, but after the 3rd Time RVD got out of the Crossface i knew he was gonna win...

Edge/Guerreo i missed, i was [going to the bathroom], getting snacks and talking to these 2 kids from Upstate NY about recording Techniques i use when i record to Analog...it was predictable anyways...

Taker/test produced the best moment of the night, Taker kicking his as and wrapping himself in an American Flag...

HHH/HBK...just awesome...

But yeah, Rock/Brock, quite honestly, it will suck that the DVD Wont show the 15 minutes or so After the PPV went off the air, Basiclly, 95% of the Nassau Colesium Booed The High Holy Hell out of the Rock, what a GREAT moment, man there was nothing better then standing 1st row off the floor, and hearing the crowd Boo teh Rock Straight out of the WWE to hollywood to film some other movie...which brings me to my last point, the last Image Shown on the Screen in Nassau was a sign a fan made, and it was genius, it said, "hey Rock...Welcome to YOUR Helldarado" with a picture of a Tombstone with Rock's Name on it...as a pun on teh fact he was leaving the next day to film some movie...whomever that was...genius....

anyways, well worth the price of my ticket, and now what i am sure will be a Great DVD of it...so if u want to relive the night, id pre order it now!!! :)

Summary: The Best Pay Per View of 2002!
Review: The 2002 edition of Summerslam was, without a shadow of a doubt, the best pay per view of 2002. Every match was awesome and delivered in a huge way, in my opinion, this may very well be the best Summerslam ever, here's my breakdown of the PPV and I rate at a bust of five stars.(1-5)

Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio
*****
-Maybe the best opener ever. Rey and Kurt gave it everything they had. There was techncial wrestling, luche libre wrestling and submission wrestling all wrapped into one. This match just goes to show that even though Angle and Rey have completely opposite styles, they both can deliver one hell of a match.

Chris Jericho vs Ric Flair
****
-A great match wrestled by these two, a very well wrestled submission match. Jericho and Flair both used their trademark submission holds and at the end, "The Nature Boy" takes the victory by making Jericho tap out to the Figure 4 Leg Lock.

Edge vs Eddie Guerrero
****
-Another great mid-card match. Both of these wrestlers have similar styles as they both use technical and high flying offense. This match was a terrific bout and certainly once again proves that both individuals deserve to be main-event wrestlers.

WWE Tag Team Championship:
Lance Storm & Christian(c) vs Booker T and Goldust
****1/2
-This must have been the greatest tag team match this year! Booker T and Goldust work so well as a team and have good chemistry. The Un-Americans worked well together as well. This match literally had the fans on their feet as both teams put on an amazing match.

Test vs Undertaker
****
-A great brawling match, both Undertaker and Test were so intense in this match. The Undertaker came out on top with the Tombstone Piledriver to get the win.

WWE Intercontinental Championship:
Chris Benoit(c) vs Rob Van Dam
****1/2
-These great matches are what the WWE is all about. These two had a great match and clashed their styles together to make an amazing Intercontinental Title match. With RVD's unike high flying style and Benoit's technical style, this match is probably the best Interconinetal Title match in quite some time.

Non-Sanctioned Match:
Shawn Michaels vs Triple H
*****
-A tremendous showdown between these two! There were tables, chairs, and ladders! Both men brutalized eachother and Shawn Michaels proved that he is still "The Heartbreak Kid". HBK dove off ladders and beat Triple H to a bloody pulp and picked up the victory. This match makes Hulk Hogan vs The Rock from Wrestlemania look like Albert vs Hugh Morrus.

WWE Undisputed Championship:
The Rock(c) vs Brock Lesnar
****
-An okay match but this match pales in comparision to the prior match. Brock destroyed The Rock with suplexes and mauled him the entire match it seemed. When the bell was rung, there was a new WWE Undisputed Champion and the dawning of a new era because Brock Lesnar came out on top after he delivered the F-5 to The Rock.

-All in all, Summerslam delivered in every way and I strongly encourage people to buy this DVD-

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good, overall
Review: What follows is my rundown on all the matches of the 2002 SummerSlam (the 15th SS for those counting), SPOILERS ahead, by the way. And ranting. Each match is rated out of 10.

Match 1: KURT ANGLE vs REY MYSTERIO (9). I was a little apprehensive about RM being booked against a non-Cruiserweight, but Kurt Angle proved me wrong selling the high-flying moves flawlessly. There's some fantastic fast-paced action in this and great spots from Mysterio's 619, West Coast Pop and Tumbing Senton, to Angle's amazng German suplex reversal of Mysterio's jumping bodyscissors. Great action and, for me, the match of the evening. ANGLE WINS w/ the Ankle lock, making Mysterio tap out.

Match 2: RIC FLAIR vs CHRIS JERICHO (2) Awful finish to an abysmal match. [What are the WWE bookers doing with Jericho- he has lost 5 of his 7 PPVs this year and only won the other 2 cheaply]. I don't know one person who considers Ric Flair a good wrestler- how can a quote, unquote legend get away with using only 2 moves for 30+ years? This is an atrocious match and further adds to Jericho's decline (through no fault of his own). I didn't think he could sink any lower than jobbing to John Cena, but here's proof: FLAIR WINS (which is, to be honest, a goddamn disgrace) as Jericho taps to the Figure Four. The first-ever Undisputed champion is plummeting due to pathetic match booking.

Match 3: EDGE vs EDDY GUERRERO (8.5) Scientific wrestling at its very best here courtesy of Guerrero, who uses an innovative series of moves to methodically wear down Edge's shoulder (even Frog Splashing the damn thing!) EDGE WINS w/ the way too over-used Spear. (The constant use of it in run-ins have made me sick of it). Good work from both guys- Edge for his selling and Guerrero for his scientific wrestling.

Match 4: THE UN-AMERICANS (LANCE STORM & CHRISTIAN) vs BOOKER T & GOLDUST (6) Good Tag team psychology from the Un-Americans in this decent match. STORM & CHRISTIAN WIN when Test does a run-in, flattening Booker T w/ the Big boot. (Anyone else miss Storm's Canadian Maple Leaf single-leg crab? He hasn't used it in ages)

Match 5: ROB VAN DAM vs CHRIS BENOIT (7.5) Not as good as their recent RAW match, but pretty damn good nevertheless. Very stiff contest. Benoit's series of Northern Lights suplexes to break down RVD's arm are memorable, but VAN DAM WINS THE IC TITLE in the end w/ the Five Star Frog Splash.

Match 6: TEST vs THE UNDERTAKER (6) While big men matches aren't my thing, this is one of the better types of those matches. 'TAKER WIN w/ his seldom-used Tombstone piledriver.

Match 7: SHAWN MCHAELS vs TRIPLE H (7.5) Impressive return for HBK who delivers an Elbowdrop from the top of the ladder and a Splash through a table to Triple H. JR and 'The King' do a great job of hyping HBK's back injury which really helps sell Triple H's offense. His backbreaker on a chair is quite cringe-worthy. SHAWN WINS w/ a double leg pick-up and roll through reversal of the Pedigree. (HHH's shoulders aren't even down by the way). The post-match action is the real shocker, though, as HHH works over Michaels' back w/ his trusty sledghammer.

Match 8: BROCK LESNAR vs THE ROCK (7). Lesnar is OK, but I'm still waiting for him to live up to his CONSIDERABLE hype. The real shock of this match is the Nassau Colisseum fans' booing of The Rock! BROCK WINS THE UNDISPUTED TITLE w/ the F-5. I was hoping he'd pull out a 450 Splash (which I've heard he can do quite well). Big cheer for Lesnar as he captures the gold.

THE VERDICT: Apart from Flair's match there were no VERY bad matches at this year's SummerSlam. Mysterio & Angle's match was outstanding, and Edge & Guerrero's was also pretty good. The only bad thing was seeing Jericho slipping further down the WWE ladder. A 'face turn might be a good remedy, but he can't go on losing to rookies and pensioners (!)

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This was a pretty good PPV.
Review: Well the only reason I this was such a good PPV to me was the HBK/HHH match. I never thought it would be as good at it was, but it surpassed my expectations BIG time. The other matches on the show were also pretty good to, like the Angle/Rey match. The crowd really got behind Brock in his match against that overrated people's champion, the Rock. I was loving every minute of it. Anywho, I suggest you buy this DVD when it comes out because it is one of the best PPV's this year for the WWE.
