Movie Reviews of WWE King of the Ring 2001
Movie Review: The event where the Invasion feud began
Summary: 4 Stars
The street fight between Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon stole the show on this night. They had in my view one of the best, if not the best, street fights in WWE history. Another thing to point out is that the KOR started the Invasion feud between then the WWF and WCW with Ecw.
Before the semi-finals got underway of the tournament, Diamond Dallas Page opens up the show to address the crowd to what he did to the Undertaker and his wife Sara over the past couple of weeks. He soon pleads to the Undertaker to "Make Him Famous" and then takes a seat in the front row.
1. KOR Semi-Finals
Kurt Angle vs. Christian
This was the first of 3 matches Angle competed in during this night. Christian and Angle had a solid opener. They had a good match in the ring and a nice little brawl on the outside. Shane comes out and helps Angle to score the pinfall over Christian to advance in the KOR tournament. 3.5/5
2. KOR Semi-Finals
Edge vs. Rhyno
This is another good match up in this tournament. Rhyno and Edge had a good fight going on on the outside. They had a very good, competitive match in the ring as well. Theres a point in the match where both Rhyno and Edge trys to hit the spear/gore and they just tackle the hell out of each other. Pretty good match up. 4/5
3. Tag Team Titles
Dudley Boyz vs. Kane & Spike
Kane turned out to be spike's mystery partner for this match. This was a good tag match. Everybody looked very good in this one. There were a couple of good spots dealing with Kane and spike. It had a very sweet counter from the dudley dog into the 3d. It also had a good table spot after the match where Kane chokeslams buh buh through one. 4/5
4. KOR Finals
Edge vs. Kurt Angle
This last match in the tournament was the most competitive one out of the three. They had a good wrestling contest in the ring with some nice counters and wrestling moves. Shane would also interfere in this match but only this time to screw Angle in becoming the only 2x KOR. Edge and Angle would go on to have better matches in the future but this is one to watch. 4.5/5
5. Cruiserweight Title
Jeff Hardy vs. X-Pac
Another good match up. Hardy was more of the high flyer in this one while X-pac stayed more to the ground. Pac was more trying to wear down Hardy than using high risk where Hardy was. A good cruiserweight match. 4/5
Undertaker vs. Diamond Dallas Page
After viewing footage of DDP being stalked throughout the night, this is the point in the ppv where Taker makes his enterance to proclaim into making DDP "Famous". I wouldn't say this is a match at all, this was just a beat down from Undertaker to ddp to what ddp has done to him in weeks beforehand. Just a another segment to set up the Invasion feud and to give Angle more time to rest up for his street fight.
6. Street Fight- Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon
This match is what stole the show. It looked like this was Angle's first match of the night, even though he wrestled 2 more matches prior to this one. There was everything in this match from weapon use, wrestling, submissions, and high risk. Once it got taken to the outside, Shane gets belly to belly through one glass wall and thrown through another. Shane gets real bloody in this one and he also displays a great deal of heart in this match. It had an unbelieveable finish with Angle angleslamming Shane from the top rope. Phenomenal match, match of the night and maybe of the year. 5/5
7. WWE Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho
This is the match where the Invasion from WCW truly began. This is also where Benoit really hurts his neck which forces him to stay out for a year.
It seemed in the beginning Benoit and Jericho were going to team up and take out Austin. There were a couple of very good spots of one on one action with Benoit vs. Austin and Jericho vs. Austin. Austin seemed as he was the under dog in this match even though he was the champ. Jericho and Benoit would tie it up for awhile as well. Booker t would make his debut in this match and drive Stone Cold through the announce table. A match that had a lot of great action. A very solid main event to begin the Invasion feud. 5/5
KOR is a good event to pick up if you like the KOR tournaments. The whole year of 2001 was a very surperb year and KOR is no exception.
