Movie Review: One of the best Hell in a Cell matches Ever
Summary: 4 Stars
No Mercy was an event that had so many idiotic storylines leading into the ppv. Of course the the most ridiculous storyline out of the bunch was the whole Katie Vick saga between Kane & Triple H. Thankfully the ppv made up for these horrible stories. The ppv would have been a 3 star event but I gave it a 4 because of the awesome Hell in a Cell match and the tremendous tag team bout between Angle/Benoit and Edge/Mysterio.
1. World Tag Team Titles
Chris Jericho & Christian vs. Booker T & Goldust
This match was a good choice for an opener. The match went at a steady pace. Booker had the best showing out of the four. Watch out for the ropes breaking on Jericho towards the end of the match. A very good way to open up the ppv. 3.5/5
2. Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie
This was defiantely the worst match on the card. Even though the two gals kind of impressed me here, the match was still on the sucky side. Torrie did however pulled off a suplex and neckbreaker & a few other nice moves which I was a little shocked to see but this aint anything special. This match is pretty much skip material. 2/5
3. Rob Van Dam vs. Ric Flair
This was a revenge match for RVD for when Flair screwed RVD in his title match at Unforgiven. RVD & Flair has totally, complete different styles of wrestling but these two really worked well with each other in the ring. Van Dam came out pretty sharp, sticking it to Flair in the early going. Once Flair got the advantage he soon works on the leg of Van Dam. Flair really gets dirty in this match. This is one that I can watch again. 3.75/5
4. Cruiserweight Title
Jamie Noble w/ Nidia vs. Tajiri
The cruiserweights put on a nice back and forth match up. Tajiri sure gives Noble a mouthful of kicks. They had a good back and forth mix up with some nice reversals. It had an entertaining after match segment going on. A fun match to watch. 3.5/5
5. Winner Take All
World Champion Triple H vs. Intercontinental Champion Kane
This match could have been a tons of a lot better if they weren't working with the stupid Katie Vick story. That whole thing really degrated the match. Kane and Triple H tryed their hardest to put on a good match. It went very slow at times in the match. It had a few run-ins by Flair and Hurricane where HHH pedigreed Hurricane on the floor. This match defiantely could have been better but it was mostly a disappointment than anything. 3.5/5
6. WWE Tag Team Titles
Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit vs. Edge & Rey Mysterio
This match was a perfect demonstration on what a 5 star tag team match should be like. These four men brought their game and then some to this match. All four men looked very good. The match had some good counters, reversals, and back and forth action. Edge & Mysterio work very well as a team. Angle & Benoit mostly did their own thing once they were in the match. This was a great and competitive tag team match. If it weren't for the hell in a cell, this match would have been match of the night. Fantastic match. 5/5
7. Women's Title
Victoria vs. Trish Stratus
Good match, much better than the one between Torrie & Dawn. It had some good outside ring action. Trish were using her kicks to Victoria's face very effectively. Nice wrestled women's match. 3.25/5
8. Hell in the Cell for the WWE Championship
Brock Lesnar w/ Paul Heyman vs. Undertaker
This was an awesome and brutal match. Undertaker & Brock showed us how differently a hell in the cell match can be, being just as brutal and sedistic fighting in the cell and not out. Taker bleeds buckets in this one. Taker and Lesnar takes a lot of hard hitting and brutal shots. They both used the cell and other things around them very effectively on each other. This was an awesome main event. Match of the night for sure. Probably the best hell in a cell match contested only inside the cell. 5/5***
The hell in a cell match was off the charts. That match is the main reason to check out this ppv. The tag team titles match is very good as well.
Movie Review: A Little Bit Of Everything
Summary: 4 Stars
WWE No Mercy was a pretty solid PPV. Like Unforgiven I didn't really like No Mercy when I first saw it. But, after watching it again, the PPV proved to be pretty decent. No Mercy was held in October 2002 at the Altell Arena in Little Rock, Arkansas. I would actually rank this PPV a 3.5, but I though a 3 would be too low. Anyways, I will rank and review the matches. They are based out of 10 points.1. CHRIS JERICHO & CHRISTIAN (VS) BOOKER T & GOLDUST (WORLD TAG TITLE)
This was a decent match. It seemed like Booker T and Goldust had a title shot at every PPV and on every RAW, but they never won (they finally won at Armageddon 2002). Good opening match. The best spot is when Jericho goes to give Goldust the Lionsault and the middle rope snaps. Jericho improvises by doing a Moonsault. He gets the pin to retain the Tag Titles. (7.5/10)
2. TORRIE WILSON (VS) DAWN MARIE
This was the beginning of their long lasting feud. This was the first of two women's matches of the night. Why? Torrie wins. (2/10)
3. RVD (VS) RIC FLAIR
This match stemmed from the incident at Unforgiven. They really didn't have beef though until the RAW before No Mercy. This match was a lot better than I anticpated. RVD wins with the Five Star Frogsplash. (7/10)
4. JAMIE NOBLE (VS) TAJIRI (CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE)
This was the first Cruiserweight match on a PPV since Vengeance in July. This was definately the darkhorse match of the night. Too bad the Cruiserweights are utilized as much as they should be. They both pull off some pretty sick moves, especially the DDT by Tajiri. Jamie Noble wins it to retain the title. Good post match action. (8/10)
5. TRIPLE H (VS) KANE (WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT/INTERCONTINETNAL)
This match started because of the horrible accusation by Triple H on Kane. Vince went a little to far with this angle. Solid match, but nothing too special. Kane chokeslams Triple H through an announce table. Triple H wins with the Pedigree after hitting Kane with the sledgehammer (Of Course). (7.5/10)
6. KURT ANGLE & CHRIS BENOIT (VS) EDGE & REY MYSTERIO (WWE TAG TITLE/TOURNAMENT FINAL)
This might be the best straight up tag team match in history. This match is absolutely amazing. The action is non-stop. Sick moves, great counters, and a lot of close falls. The best part is that there is a clean ending. Angle & Benoit become the inaugural champs as Angle gets Mysterio to tap to the Ankle Lock. Amazing match. (10/10)
7. TRISH STRATUS (VS) VICTORIA (WOMEN'S TITLE)
Trish wins. Who cares. (3/10)
8. BROCK LESNAR (VS) UNDERTAKER (WWE TITLE/HELL IN A CELL)
This match probably should have just been a Street Fight. This is one of the bloodiest matches you will ever see. Undertaker bleeds like crazy. Even Heyman bleeds in this match. Good finish. Lesnar wins with the F-5 to retain the title. (8/10)
EXTRAS
Nothing special. There is a good promo for the history of the Intercontinental Title. One of the best interviews is with Edge because we learn Edge was sick for the whole match.
Overall, No Mercy was a decent PPV. Nothing too special. I recommend this DVD for the Smackdown tag match alone. It is absolutely amazing.
Movie Review: Great PPV With Stupid Storylines
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember this PPV really showcased here RAW & SmackDown were at this time as SmackDown showcased "sports" while RAW had the "entertainment" aspect. This was also the PPV where they had good matches there were overshadowed by the crappy storylines going into it and we ended up getting a classic tag team match from four singles wrestlers. For those remembering Kane & Undertaker's storylines at the beginning, you'll get a chuckle out of the opening skit.
World Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Christian vs Booker T & Goldust - This was a good opener as both teams worked well with each other here. There's a moment at the end where Jericho goes for the lionsault and the rope breaks for him to land on his face.
Torrie Wilson VS Dawn Marie - The beginning of the "Al Wilson" storyline and just like the storyline, the less said about this...the better.
Rob Van Dam VS Ric Flair - RVD's chance for revenge against Flair for what happened the month earlier at Unforgiven. Two men with two completely different styles actually meshed well here to give us a good match here.
WWE Cruiserweight Champion Jamie Noble w/Nidia VS Tajiri - This was just a decent title match as the aftermath with Nidia was more entertaining than the match.
Unification Match: World Champion Triple H vs. Intercontinental Champion Kane - This was the brainchild of someone's STUPID idea to get rid of the Intercontinental Title so there would be only 1 single's title on RAW. And to top that, they did this horrible controversal storyline regarding Kane & "Katie Vick" that honestly I'm still trying to forget to this day. The match itself was average by main event standards but Lawler just would not get off the whole Katie Vick thing throughout the match to the point that you didn't give a damn about the unification & were just glad that the match was over.
WWE Tag Team Tournament Finals: Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit VS Edge & Rey Mysterio - This was the classic match I was talking about earlier as they put on a wrestling clinic. Rey did his high flyin' lucha libre while Edge held his own in the ring and we all know Benoit & Angle are two of the best in the world. They would go on to have better series of matches involving themselves & Los Guerreros but this was worth the price of admission alone.
WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus VS Victoria - The match itself wasn't much as it was short & sweet as Trish won but Victoria attacked afterwards to setup their Survivor Series rematch.
Hell in a Cell Match: WWE Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker - Another great Hell In The Cell bout as they kept it inside the cage while Taker bled like crazy & sold his wrist injury in a brutal match that saw Lesnar put over as a monster. And unlike the World Title match, they didn't concentrate on the crappy "Undertaker cheating on his pregnant wife" soap opera storyline and concentrated on just the match in itself.
In the end, the good heavily outweighed the bad and you also can see two classic matches on this DVD set. I recommend if you can get past the Katie Vick thing.
Movie Review: October 2002 - Alltell Arena - Little Rock, Arkansas
Summary: 4 Stars
Pretty decent PPV put on by the WWE. This PPV features the match WWE Magazine picked as match of the year.
1. Chris Jericho & Christian vs. Goldust & Booker T (World Tag Titles)
Good way to kick off the show. Entertaining match. It is pretty crazy when Jericho goes for a Lionsault and the middle rope snaps. Likely he is okay and manages too improvise. (8/10)
2. Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie
The first of two women's matches (why Vince why) on this PPV. This was the beginning of their fued involving Torrie's dad, Al. (1/10)
3. Rob Van Dam vs. Ric Flair
This match stemmed from the incident at Unforgiven. Nothing too exciting. About what was expected from the match. (7.5/10)
4. Jamie Noble vs. Tajiri (Cruiserweight Title)
Good, but short match. Tajiri nails Noble with a pretty sick Tornado DDT out of the corner. (7.5/10)
5. Kane vs. Triple H (World Heavyweight/Intercontinental Unification Match)
How could the WWE get rid of the Intercontinental title. Kane was on a good streak heading into this fued, having won the great TLC match on RAW Roulette. This match occured because of the Katie Vick incident. (One of the worst and sickest angles in WWE history). Good match. Nothing too exciting. This is when RAW was really struggling. (8/10)
6. Chris Benoit & Kurt Angle vs. Edge & Rey Mysterio (Finals of the WWE Tag Title Tournament)
Quite simply put: This is one of the best pure tag team matches you will ever see. The action was non-stop from the beginning. The four men worked amazingly together. Good finish with a lot of near falls. On an interesting note, Edge was very sick with the flu in the match. It states it on the extras. This is one of the top ten matches of the year in my opinion. (9.5/10)
7. Trish Stratus vs. Victoria (Women's Title)
The second women's match of the night. (Again. Why Vince, why)? Who cares who wins. (2/10)
8. Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker (WWE Title/Hell In A Cell)
This was the match WWE Magazine voted match of the year. It is a good match, but not match of the year. I wouldn't even put it in my top 15. Good match. It is in essence, a Street Fight. Good match with a lot of blood. Taker bleeds like crazy. Good finish with a lot of reversals and close falls. (8.5/10)
Good DVD. It is not a must have. If you are a fan of good wrestling pick it up just for the Tag Title Tourney Final match. It is worth the price alone.
Overall Rating: 7.5/10
