Movie Reviews of WWE Armageddon 2002
Movie Review: Not the best Armageddon, but surely a classic.
Summary: 4 Stars
WWE Armageddon of 2002 was a great pay-per-veiw. But it did have its weak spots. It was held in Ft. Lauderdale Florida, but wait, wasnt that the same place WWF Armageddon 1999 was held? oh well so here is my reveiws of the Pay-Per-Veiw. being 1-10.....World Tag Team Championship Fatal 4 Way match:
Dudley Boys vs. The un-americans vs. Booker T & Goldust vs. Chris Jericho & Christian
This match was good but a bit boring in spots. but none the less a good match, lasting at about 20 minutes. I give it an "8"
-----
Edge vs. A-Train(albert)
good god why doesnt albert shave his freakin back? i felt sorry for edge for everytime edge grabbed a handfull of alberts back hair. this match was ok in spots but the ending was a dud. it would have been better if they let matt hardy take the spot that a-train got. I give it a "5"
-----
Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guererro
this match was great. lots of good submision holds, lots of good high flying action. I'm impressed with how eddie guererro is wrestling lately. i give it a "8"
-----
Dawn Marie shows the lesbian footage between her and torrie wilson
YYYAAYYYY!!!!!! i was anticipating this moment and boy did it make the ppv worth the money. the segment lasted a good 10 minutes. but all i have to say about it is "DAMN YOU AL WILSON!!!" but none the less, amazing!
-----
Kane vs. Batista
good match. bad ending. but boy does batista have some strenght. but of all the people to job why would kane pick this ... look alike guy to job on? i give it a "6"
-----
Triple Threat match for the Womens Title:
Trish Stratus vs. Jackie vs. Victoria
this match .... all womens matches .... need i say more?
i give it a "3"
-----
WWE Championship:
Kurt Angle(w/ brock lesnar) vs. Big Show (w/ paul heyman)
this match was great. lots of intensity. when a-train came out you would think its brock lesnar at first, but then you notice the 50 pounds of hair on a-trains back. but THEN brock lesnar comes out and F-5's big show but screws it up. then the ending is a moment for any angle fans. but it was a good match. I give it a "9"
-----
2-3 Falls Match for the World Championship:
1st fall:street fight-2nd fall:steel cage-3rd fall:ladder match
Triple H vs. Shawn Micheals(HBK)
man this match was a classic. all though the beginning of the street fight was a bit boring it picked up when triple h grabbed a 2X4 wrapped in barbed wire and set it onfire via the armageddon set. hunter goes to hit shawn with it but shawn reverses and wacks the hel lout of triple h with it busting him wide open and leaving blisters on his forhead. now on to the 2nd fall. this is were it gets good. while the steel cage was lowering triple h threw in as many weopans as he could find. soon enough flair came out but had a raging fit when HBK knocked him down. flair is hilarious in this. but then shawn lays hunter on the table and HBK dives off the 15 ft. cage, onto hunter threw the table!!!! next fall was the ladder match. the shortest of the 3 falls. but flair set 4 tables up on the outside of the ring and soon enough after about 10 minutes of battling with the ladder, hunter was on top of the ladder and hunter knocked it over sending HBK threw the tables on the outside of the ring. new world champ, TRIPLE H.
over all a great ppv but not the best armageddon, but none the less pick it up for the 2-3 falls match. its a classic.

Summary: 4 Stars
80-76%-perfect
75-71%-awsome
70-66%-good
65-61%-poor
60-56%-awful
1. fatal 4 way for the world tag team champion ships
y2j & christian {the champs} vs booker t & christian vs the dudley boiz vs lance storm & william regal- This was not a bad way to klick off the show. It started out rather slow but as the match went along it picked up. Kind of predictable who the last two were. SOme nice moves including a lionsault from the middle rope. Good to see the unpredicatble finish. Winners and new wwe tag team champs booker t and goldust. Match rating 7/10.
2. Edge vs. Albert- This was a decent match from the standpoint of having albert in it. Edge tried his best in this match but even that was not enough. About a 9 minute match which was way to long. Edge carried ablert through but the dq ending was horriable. Winner by dq edge. Match rating 5.5/10.
3. Chris Beniot vs. Eddie guerrero- This was another great match and let me say rest in peace eddie u were one of the best and u will be missed greatly. Anyway this was probloy up there for match of the night tied with the mainn event. Soild wrestling match and both men put alot into the 15 minutes that they were given. Winn chris beniot. Match Rating 8.5/10.
4. Batistia vs. Kane- THis was your decent big man match. I always thought that batistia at that point in his game should have sticken to tag matches but he did a good job here. Lots of har hitting action that was sloppy at times but overall not that bad. Winner Batistia. Match Rating 6.5/10.
5. Trish vs. Jackylan vs. Victoria wwe womens title- This was an above average womens match. All of these women have alot of talent. This is when victoria just broke into the bussiness here and she did a really good job playing heel here. Soild wrestling and a god womens match. Winner and still wwe womens champ victoria. Match rating 6/10.
6. Kurt angle vs. The Big Show for the wwe title- This was alot better than alot of people thought it was going to be. Leaving lesner off of this card was awful but he did play a big part in this match. Match satrted off sow but thanks to kurt angle it picked up. Lots of near falls including n angle slam to the big show. Lesner came in and f-5ed the big show as well. Amazing strenght and the ending was awsome. I love angle. Winner and new wwe champ Kurt Angle. Match Rating 8/10.
7. HHH vs. Hbk 2 out of 3 falls for the WHT title- This was match of the night in my opiion. These two guys back in 2002 had some awsome matches together. The first fall was a street fight which had barb wire on fire chairs tables trash cans u name it they had it all. Second fall was a cage match whcihc was decent but only nine minutes and a sick part were hbk jumps off the top of the cage thorugh a table on hhh. The third fall was a ladder macth which was also awsome with hbk falling off the ladder though 4 tables. Winner and new world heavywieght champ HHH. Match rating 9/10.
Well that raps up another i would give Armageddon 2002 a grade of 50.5/70 which means htis is an awosme ppv. I would say thats good i would recomend this dvd to anyone. If you can tell me if my review was helpful or not i would appreicate that. Thanks for your time.
Movie Review: Armageddon 2002
Summary: 4 Stars
While not quite as strong as "Survivor Series", I found "Armageddon" to be a good PPV with a few duds but also some great matches as well. Shawn Michaels and Triple H steal the show with their epic 2/3 falls match. FOUR-WAY ELIMINATION MATCH FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP:
CHRIS JERICHO & CHRISTIAN (champions) VS. BOOKER T & GOLDUST VS. THE DUDLEY BOYZ VS. LANCE STORM & WILLIAM REGAL
The Dudleys and Storm & Regal get eliminated almost at the same time way too early in the match. Jericho & Christian and Booker T & Goldust put on a fairly decent match. Christian and Goldust aren't really in the match as much as Jericho and Booker T are but there is a strong effort. A lot of "long" 2 counts at the end attempt at making it a nail biter but it just seems to be kind of boring. Booker T hits the bookends on Jericho for the win. ***
EDGE VS. A-TRAIN
A short and lame match up that ends in a disqualification when A-Train whacks Edge with a chair. Edge later beats him down with the chair. **
EDDIE GUERRERO VS. CHRIS BENOIT
One of the best matches on the card features two top performers at their best. Guerrero has the upper hand most of the match but even when Chavo interferes, Benoit battles them off. Guerro taps to the Crossface giving Benoit the win. Great solid match. ****1/2
KANE VS. BATISTA with RIC FLAIR
Uneventful and short, Batista hits the powerbomb for the win. Just unnecessary filler really. But Batista definately shows signs of being a great villian. **1/2
TRIPLE THREAT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
TRISH STRATUS VS. VICTORIA(champion) VS. JAQUELINE
The lead up to this match might be longer than the actual match. Really just another filler match. Victoria retains.
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
BIG SHOW (champion) VS. KURT ANGLE
Without a doubt, this is Big Show's best match. Both men give a good dramatic performance. Angle hitting the Olympic Slam on Show is definately the highlight. A-Train interferes and hits a back breaker on Angle and then Show choke slams him. To save the day, Brock Lesner runs out and hits the F-5 on Show. Angle crawls to cover Show and gets the pin. Once again, Kurt Angle is champion. Great match. ****
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
2/3 FALLS
SHAWN MICHAELS VS. TRIPLE H
The first fall is a street fight which goes all over the place. Triple H comes out on top when he hits the Pedigree on HBK. His memento lasts much of the Steel Cage match which makes up the second fall but he falls short due to some Sweet Chin Music. The third fall is a fairly short ladder match and HBK almost retains his title when Triple H pushes the ladder sending him through a bunch of tables. Triple H wins the fall and the match. This is a true classic. Shawn Michaels coming back after years of being out is amazing. This was a true Show Stopper. One of the best matches of the year. *****
PPV RATING: ***1/2
Movie Review: A big surprise
Summary: 4 Stars
When I saw this ppv I have to say I was hesitant to oder it. The only match I was really looking forward too was the Main Event. However once I saw this in its entirety I realized I did not waste my money. The extras on the DVD are okay, but could have been better, but several matches on the wrestling card made up for it.
Fatal Four Way match for Raw tag team championships: This was good for an opener. The crowd was excellent since they were way in the corners of Booker T and Goldust or the Dudley Boyz. I was surprised to see the Dudleyz eliminated so soon, but at least Booker T and Goldust won. A good match. 8/10
Edge vs. A-Train: This was a sort of dissapointment since Edge used a chair to get DQ. This is where Albert would formally become A-Trian, dont know why he changed it to that but anything is better than Albert for him I guess. Slow match. 7/10
Kane vs. Batista: This was strength and power vs, strength and power. I can still not see Batista as strong as Kane, but somehow he keeps knocking him down. Flair makes his prescence known and causes Kane to lose. This was a good match, but only for RAW. 7.5/10
Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero: A good match but slow in some spots. Benoit gets payback from Eddie after Eddie cost Benoit the title shot. The match was very back and forth and Benoit finally gets the win after making Eddie tap out to the crossface. A great match. 8/10
Triple Threat Womens Match: Not very good, this was just a card filler in my opinion. Victoria wins. 6/10
WWE Championship Match: This was good and suspenseful. When A-Train came out again and ran over Angle the entire crowd went into a confused state. Then Brock Lesnar comes out and ruins the match, not that I am a Big Show fan, its just Angle should have done the angle slam after the interference. The ending looked like Angle won just because of Brock. Still a good match between these two. 9/10
Two out of Three falls match: Match of the night. The videotape at the beginning of the match is really awsome. HHH and Shawn's entrances are awsome in this one. Out of all three matches the best would be the cage match. Garbage cans, chairs, and even a table was used when shawn jumped off the top of the cage onto HHH through a table. The street fight was kinda slow but it does have Shawn hitting HHH in the face with a BURNING barbed wire bat. The ladder match also had Shawn falling off the top of a ladder through four tables. This was a great match. 10/10
The extras have 5 interviews and the Fatal Four Way match for the #1 contendership for the Smackdown title. That was a good match and Angle gave an Angle slam to edge off the top rope!
Also, too the guys, the torrie wilson and Dawn Marie footage is off the page also. The crowd and Al Wilson are kind of annoying though.
