Movie Reviews of WWE No Mercy 2003
Movie Review: No Mercy 2003
Summary: 3 Stars
Tajiri VS Rey Mysterio: Should be a classic but I was surprised at how slow this match was at some points. Still a good opener though.
Chris Beniot VS A-Train: I'll admit I cannot watch Beniot as much as I use too because of what happened. The match was a good and I enjoyed the end sequence.
Zach Gowan VS Matt Hardy: I respect Gowan but was never sold on him as a wrestler. Didn't really bother to watch this one even though Gowan wins in the end via moonsault.
Basham Brothers VS APA: Bashams were on there way up and APA were almost finished as a tag team. Not a bad match but nothing I enjoyed, the ending was predictable.
Vince McMahon VS Stephaine McMahon: I tried to watch it but I hated it.
Kurt Angle VS John Cena: Cena cuts a funny rap promo before the match. Overall, a solid match with Angle making a green Cena tap in the end. Too bad he didnt do that when Cena was in Hogan phase.
Eddie Guerrero VS Big Show: Three days before this match took place, Big Show choke slammed Eddie onto a pick up and his back was pretty cut up. Eddie sold the injury well and Show had a really good match. Show wins the US title in the end via choke slam and then gets a great interview backstage.
Brock Lesnar VS Undertaker: No idea what a Biker Chain on a Poll match is suppose to be but this match was pretty standard. The ending was stupid and the chain didnt really add anything to the match.
The extra includes Guerrero spraying Big Show with crap, a Kidman-Moore match I didnt view. I don't know why WWE doesnt do extra anymore like they use too.
Overall, Smackdown had the greatest array of talent during 2003 from Lesnar, Angle, Guerrero, Beniot, and Mysterio to name a few. Each Smackdown PPV should have been a cant miss affair. However, this match had an equal balance of good and bad matches. The main event was a letdown as well. Still, I'd check this PPV out.
Movie Review: Over all it isn't too bad, but a couple major complaints
Summary: 3 Stars
Ok...The reason I only gave it 3 stars is because of the following complaints:
1. Brock and Taker's match was expected to be much more brutal than this. The chain wasn't used much. And I agree with the reviewer who mentioned that Brock and Undertaker had a couple matches the previous year that were FAR more exciting.
2. Although Stephanie and Vince's match was a lot more action packed than we could have ever predicted...I still was upset at the crap ending with the towel being thrown in.
I am not the biggest Stephanie fan, but at the time this took place she was at the hieght of her new found popularity.. And I thought it was increadibly stupid to have her leave the show at this point.
And clearly my fears about that were confirmed when they then made Paul Haymen the general manager of Smackdown. And as you know...Paul went on to do a terrible job as General Manager. He was more annoying than ever and the show took a nose dive for a while... after Stephanie had brought the ratings up.
Plus, Vince ended up vanishing for a while anyway, so it made no sense at all for the writers to think having him win in this fashion would be a smart idea.
My biggest PRAISE for this event was the match with (face) Kurt Angle versus (heel) John Cena. Great Match! And one of the last times we see John Cena shine while playing the villan. Also, this was the last time Kurt Angle really kicked butt as the good guy before the writers started leading him back to becoming the villan again. Anyway, I think Kurt should have stayed as the (face) good guy a while longer than he did. And here you get to see why. Plus, the events that lead up to this event concerning Cena and Angle were absolutely hilarious and entertaining. It was quite a FUN feud to watch.
So, taking the good with the bad....I decided to give it 3 out of 5 stars.
Movie Review: Biker Chain Match!
Summary: 3 Stars
Rey Mysterio v. Tajiri Crusierweight Title
Awesome match. The most high-flying match Mysterio has ever been in. Lots of kicks. Tajiri wins because of his new henchmen.***
Chris Benoit v. A-Train
Great match considering it had A-Train. Benoit carried the match the whole way. Benoit makes A-Train tap out. Big Surprise.**1/2
Zack Gowen v. Matt Hardy
I liked this match. Even though it has a one legged kid beating a great wrestler like Matt Hardy.**1/4
A.P.A. v. Basham Brothers
It's an ok match. I thought it was filler but not really it was a match. Shaniqua comes down and helps the Bashams win.**
Stephanie McMahon v. Mr. McMahon I Quit Match
It was really nothing quite awesome. But I liked it. Linda was at Stephanie's side and Sable was at Mr. McMahon side. Vince wins and Steph quits. Vince hires Heyman.****
Kurt Angle v. John Cena
This match is a classic. Cena has devoloped into a great wrestler. Angle wins with the Ankle Lock.*****
Eddie Guerrero v. Big Show U.S. Title
Eddie and Show had a great match. I loved it. Especially with the Chokeslam through the Low Rider. Big Show wins the U.S. Title.*****
Brock Lesnar v. The Undertaker WWE Title Biker Chain Match
Why is it called a Biker Chain Match? Who gives? It was an awesome match. With a surprise ending. Brock wins but how? Buy it to find out.*****
Three straight 5 star mathes ending it. Didn't help it to get even 4 stars.***1/4
Movie Review: Not Bad
Summary: 3 Stars
WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri
What a great way to start off the show! A great match all around with a lot of excitement.
Chris Benoit vs. A-Train
If anyone could provide A-Train with his best match it would be the wolverine. It even gets serious after a blown spot as Benoit seemed very angry. A very intense ending.
Zach Gowen vs. Matt Hardy
Give it up for Gowen. I don't know why everyone heaped bad reviews on this match. It was entertaining. It's a good match.
APA vs. Basham Brothers
Ok match. Nothing you can't see on tv every week.
First Ever Father-Daughter "I-Quit" Match
Stephanie McMahon w/Linda vs. Vince McMahon w/Sable
On paper it looks bad. This was handled the right way and their was nothing but emotion in this match. An unexepectedly good match.
Kurt Angle vs. John Cena
Cena's best effort to date. A match of the year candidate. The crowd was swinging both ways which always makes a match enjoyable.
US Championship
Eddie Guerrero vs. Big Show
Pretty decent match here. A little slow in the middle but the ending was done nicely.
First Ever Biker-Chain Match for the WWE Championship
Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar
The chain was only used once to determine the outcome so I felt a little cheated. The rest of the match was ok but they had 2 much better classics a year prior. Still, it's a serviceable enough main event.

Summary: 3 Stars
Now this is better from the WWE I mean it wasn't great but it was good, they actually gave each match enough time the booking some what odd although the matches did pull off. This has been another bad year for the WWE and ive seen some of the worst PPV from them in years this year though it isn't the end of the year yet you cant really see WWE making there last to PPV so good that it makes up for the rest of the year i feel that they have ran out of ideas. Storylines have been rushed, risky, desperate and nothing you haven't seen before, matches have become so repetitive its boring they have the talent, there just not using them right putting a talented guy against a talent less guy is reoccurring A-TRAIN verse Benoit is a prime example. Triple H needs to realise that his ego has become so big that when he had the title he made it look bad cos when you say your the best wrestler in wrestling today that means your suppose to wrestle not go out there kicking and punching all the time and hyping matches up so much when it comes to it he cant live up to the hype cos what he produces in that ring its murder and shouldn't be allowed to be shown on T.V. Zach Gowen is another idea from the WWE that wont work and it you think its going to work then you haven't been watching the WWE long they should just open a disabled wrestling school now don't waste your money on this and watch some decent pro wrestling like- NJPW,AJPW,AAA,NWA,NWA-TNA,MICHINOKU PRO,WCW1997-1998,WWE2000-2001
