Movie Reviews of WWE No Mercy 2003
Movie Review: Not bad, could of been better though
Summary: 4 Stars
This PPV is hard to judge since it had its good moments and its bad ones. I'll do the usual "my take on the matches" thing.
Rey Mysterio Vs. Tajiri for cruiserweight championship- pretty good match and its great to see the cruiserweights go at it with all the high flying and quick action. The ending was bad but still a good match.
Chris Benoit Vs A-Train - poor a-train can never get any respect, even when he was prince albert and drozs' piercing artist back in the late 90's hes still the same jobber hes always been. anyways not a bad match and really showed benoits talents. Nice props with the sharpshooter to give tributes to all the harts that have used it.
Zach Gowen Vs Matt Hardy - an ok match, not one of hardys best and nothing against Gowen, but I just don't see him being a superstar (and no, its not the one leg thing, its just him in particular). I think the WWE exploited him being one legged and really made it harder to showcase anything he could do since all people saw was "a handicapped person". I'd like to see him come back again sometime but this time, try not to show his handicap but show his abilities.
A.P.A Vs The Basham Brothers - two tough teams that you would think would resemble a classic Demolition Vs Powers Of Pain match. Sadly it did not. I don't know if someone wasn't feeling right or maybe they looked at the paycheck and it said way less than they thought it would but this match should've been much better.
Stephanie McMahon with Linda McMahon Vs Mr McMahon with Sable in First ever Father/Daughter "I Quit Match" - geesh, the promos leading up to this just creep the heck out of you. Not a bad match overall though it had the weirdest rules. definately one to watch as in a way, if you think about it, it resembled Bob Backlunds ending Vs the Iron Shiek many years ago (if you all can remember that).
Kurt Angle Vs John Cena - an amazing match. I'd have to say the best on the card and an instant classic. So back and forth that it'll amaze you that these two have such good wrestling chemistry together.
Eddie Guerrero Vs The Big Show for U.S. Championship - a pretty decent matchup that showed that big shows size really did come into play, though eddies speed and "cheating" helped him try to overcome the giant.
Undertaker Vs Brock Lesnar in 1st Ever Biker Chain Match for WWE championship- a good match that showed the brawler vs the wrestler very well. Would of been better if the chain was used as well as if the interference didn't keep on happening but then again, its the main event and the ending always has to be dramatic somehow :)
All in all a decent PPV. Not the greatest, but hey it depends on your tastes. I mostly bought it for the biker chain match and Steph and Vince match, but liked the others as well so I think I made a good investment. If you only like one match on here, i'd suggest you get it if you find it cheap. If you like a few or just need it to complete your collection, well get a copy when you can since you won't be too disappointed.
Movie Review: WWE NO MERCY 2003, MY FIRST LIVE PPV
Summary: 4 Stars
Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri for the WWE Cruiserweight ChampionshipGood opener with a lot of high flying moves. The ending was cool. "Fan" interferce, distracted the ref from giving Mysterio the win, and Tajiri capitalized with a kick to the head. 7 out of 10.
Chris Benoit vs. A-Train
This was a power vs. technical match. Benoit was fighting with ground moves, A-Train was whooping up on Benoit. In the end, Benoit wins with the sharpshooter. 9 out of 10
Zach Gowen vs. Matt Hardy V1
I hate Zach Gowen. He's extremely lame, and should have never won this match. He wins with a moonsault though, to get his first win. 4 out of 10
APA vs. The Bashum Brothers
This match was boring, but a lot of attacks, which made it move fast. Shanuiqa returns and hits Bradshaw with a night stick, helping the Bashums win. 5 out of 10.
Mr. McMahon vs. Stephanie McMahon in an I Quit Match
I liked this match. It wasn't action packed, but it was an exciting match, because of the emotion. I was staning up the whole match. In the end, Mr. McMahon wins by choking out Stephanie, and Linda McMahon throws in the towel. Stephanie never quit, but I am so happy that Mr. McMahon won. He is cool. 9 out of 10.
John Cena vs. Kurt Angle
GREAT MATCH! Cena and Angle gave it all they got kicking out of each other's moves.(Cena's FU and Angle's Angle Slam). Cena did an excellent job. He couldn't make it out of the Angle Lock, and he tapped, giving Angle the win. Cena had a great rap also. 10 out of 10.
Eddie Guerrero vs. Big Show for the US Title
Boring match. It was pretty obvious that with the injuries, Big Show would win. Eddie didn't come out in a low rider. How ever, it was funny to see Eddie's tactics with out the ref. In the end however, he gets choke slammed, and Big Show wins the title. YAY. 7 out of 10.
Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title
Good Match. Brock Lesnar won with interference by the FBI AND VINCE MCMAHON. Other then that, good power match. Brock keeps his title. YAY. I hate the Undertaker.
In conclusion, No Mercy was a good event. I am not just saying that because I went (first row), but because it had some great matches, it changed WWE forever, and it had a good story line. I suggest you buy the DVD. When A-Train comes out, my head is right next to the WWE sign. BUY THE DVD, GOOD PPV.
Movie Review: Alright PPV
Summary: 4 Stars
Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri (12 mins)8/10Very Good opener and great cruiserweight match. The only problem was that there was nothing that made this match special from other matches between these 2. The end also stuck. 2nd best opener to PPV this year.
Chris Benoit vs. A-Train (12 mins)7.5/10
This match had A-Train step up to the plate. He tried his hardest and Benoit put on a good match. Nice blood spot in this match. Had a good tribute to Stu Hart with the end being in the sharpshooter.
Matt Hardy vs. Zach Gowen (7 mins) 4.5/10
A mediocre match with both men putting on half-decent performances. Best match Zach Gowen has ever put on.
Basham Brothers vs. APA (9 mins) 2/10
Not a good match. Had that crap with Shaniqua. The Basham Brothers aren't that great and the APA deserved to win.
Vince McMahon vs. Stephanie McMahon in a No Holds Barred Match (9 mins) 4/10
This match was better than what most people expected with Vince bleeding the hard way. This match exceeded everyones excpectations but was still not great.
Kurt Angle vs. John Cena (18 mins) 10/10
A+ matchup by these two men. Angle got bloody. This was a very very very great match. I loved it. John Cena can definately wrestle. This was the best match of the night.
Eddie Guerrero vs. big Show (as the semi?) (11 mins) 6.5/10
A decent Big Show match. Eddie is a great wrestler. This match was ok. I think it lasted just the right amount of time.
Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar in a Biker Chain Match (24 mins) 8.5/10
A good performance by both men. This match didn't really need to be a biker chain match since it was only used once. That was the only dissapoint ment. It also lead up to the fued between McMahon and Taker.
Overall a 7/10 show. Pretty solid. The main event was somewhat of a letdown. The WWE can put extras on this one maybe this.

Movie Review: Good Second PPV for Smackdown!
Summary: 4 Stars
This and Unforgiven were almost mirror images of each other. Nothing blew my doors off, but nothing dissapointed either..
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP- Biker Chain match
Brock Lesnar (c) v. The Undertaker 7.5/10
No where near their hell in a cell a year earlier, but still a quality match. The ending really did it in for me though.. could've been a bit better, but served it's purpose as a transitional match for both Lesnar and 'Taker.
Kurt Angle v. John Cena 9/10
I rarely give tens, and this one came DAMN close! Outstanding in every respect. The Psychology was second to none. Great match. Almost worth buying the DVD just for this match!
UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP
Eddie Guererro (c) v. The Big Show 7/10
Really didn't mind this match. Big Show has improved tons, IMO, and is starting to come back around. Guererro is his usual brilliant self.
FATHER_DAUGHTER I QUIT! MATCH
Stephanie McMahon v. Vince McMahon 5/10
Now I don't EVER get weirded out by WWE stuff. The Katie Vick Angle was kinda sick, but tolerable. The Eugene retard thing is tolerable. But the Dad beating the holy hell out of his daughter really got to me. DIdn't watch a whole lot of this match.
WWE CRUSERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Rey Mysterio v. Tajiri (c) 8/10
Another solid match with these two... Tajiri is a hell of a performer and Rey is just Rey. These two go together well. Enjoyed the match
Chris Benoit v. A-Train 6.5/10
This match was the start of the big Chris Benoit push to the world heavyweight championship. A-Train stuck with him but the match just didn't have much intensity.
Zach Gowen v. Matt Hardy-6/10
Not a Gowen fan, sorry. Hardy stoops to new levels of Jobberland...
APA v. The Basham Brothers 4/10
Nothing too awful. Nothing to get excited about either.
Overall I thought No Mercy was a strong show. The Kurt/Cena match and the cruserweight championship are enough to buy the dvd alone. The main event wasn't great, but it was solid none the less... I'd say give it a rent first before you buy. I did and I bought it.
Movie Review: No Mercy
Summary: 4 Stars
no mercy was pretty good in spots, but so so in others. it couldn't follow vengeance in terms of great ppvs. the one high spot about the dvd is some extras. finally, wwe wises up.WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
TAJIRI VS REY MYSTERIO 9/10- excellent match. have always wanted to see these 2 go at it. reminds me of the great wcw cruiserweight matches. ending is only thing that kept this from being a 10.
A-TRAIN VS CHRIS BENOIT 9/10- what a suprise! a-train's best match of his career. benoit brought the best out in him.
BASHAM BROS. VS APA 4/10- not real impressed with the bashams. need to loss the [vualgar] gimmick. what's up with the wwe thinking it needs [vulgarity] to sell wrestling, anyway?
MATT HARDY VS ZACH GOWEN 9/10- great match. gowen is amazing. i know everyone says hardy is having to hold back. zach is improving. suprise ending.
I QUIT MATCH
MR. MCMAHON VS STEPHANIE MCMAHON 7/10- not much of a wrestling match. gets a 7 because of the entertainment value. the promo at the beginning of no mercy about this match was creepy. sable & linda mcmahon were involved.
JOHN CENA VS KURT ANGLE 8/10- slow start to this match made it boring at 1st, but the pace picked up to make it exciting. great ending. not real happy with cena's provoking the crowd to vulgarity he's not allowed to say. would have been a 10 if not for slow start.
U.S. CHAMPIONSHIP
EDDIE GUERRERO VS BIG SHOW 6/10- these 2 don't work well together. their styles don't mesh, even though they tried to make it work. disappointing match. boring in spots. the buildup was awesome for this, but didn't live up to the hype.
BIKER CHAIN MATCH(WWE CHAMPIONSHIP)
BROCK LESNAR VS UNDERTAKER 5/10- undertaker's 1st main event in a yr. may be his last. not a very good main event. these 2 have had much better matches together. pace was too slow at times. again buildup was great, but turned out disappointing. if not for the ending ranking would have been lower. one of the worst main events of the year. should have been lower on the card.
no mercy starts out great with 3 of the 1st 4 matches being good, then goes downhill from there.
