Movie Reviews of WWE No Mercy 2004
Movie Review: PLEASE, let this be good!
Summary: 4 Stars
No Mercy is two weeks away as I am writing this and I must say, some of the matches could be good, and hopefully the rest could be great. Of course that depends on the fact that the wrestlers on Smackdown actually put on a watchable show, unlike the disaster they had in June, but anyways.......
Rene Dupree and Kenzo Suzuki vs. RVD and Rey Mysterio: Please, please, please, let RVD and Mysterio win this one! I knew it was a bad decision to make the french guy and japanese guy tag team champions. {Not that I have any disrespect for their races if any of you are going down that road] But still, this match is going to be either okay or bad.
Paul London vs. Billy Kidman: To tell the truth, I really don't know about this one. London is still a newboy and Kidman is okay to watch once in a while. This should be an interesting feud and hopefully someday soon it will turn into a street fight or something. As for now, we will just have to see if it is even worth watching...
Luther Reigns vs. Eddie Guerrero: Its like Eddie fell to the very bottom of the mountain after losing the title and now is fighting bigger and bigger guys in ppvs as the months go by. Luther Reigns is impressive looking, but he still has a long way to go to get my attention. Should be a good match because of Eddie.
John Cena vs. Booker T: Finally, this is the last match that these two will have and maybe after this someone else will have a chance to be champion rather than whoever wins this match. Since this is the last match it should be long, but whether it is good you will have to see.
Kurt Angle vs. Big Show: Now this is the one match that I have absolutely no idea how it will go. I have seen them fight before and I have to say that the matches they have were good. This is Big Show's first match after five months of being away. Expect to see Luther Reigns interfere in this one. But I'm positive Kurt will carry the match, like he does so many times, and will make this match a great one.
JBL vs. Undertaker - Last Ride Match: This is just like the ambulance match Kane and Shane McMahon had at Survivor Series last year. I hope lots of weapons will be used in this one. Not just a chair and the belt, but maybe tables, barb wired bats, and who knows, maybe even JBL will be chokeslammed through the top of the hearse's roof. I am rooting for the Undertaker to become the champion that he deserves to be.
All in all, this could go either way. The matches that could hurt it would probably be the tag team match and luther vs. Eddie. But if the last ride match and Big Show/Kurt Angle match are good, and if there are some good extras, then maybe smackdown could finally catch back up to where Raw is
Movie Review: One Of The Best SmackDown PPV's Of The Year
Summary: 4 Stars
Eddie Guerrero vs. Luther Reigns - This was Luther's best match in his short WWE career as this was a good opener to get the crowd going. It's slow at times but overall, enjoyable & the ending with Eddie "lyin', cheatin', and stealin'" is just classic Guerrero.
Spike Dudley vs. Nunzio - The DVD I rented had a scratch on this part & kept skipping so I can't comment.
Paul London vs. Billy Kidman - I must be dreaming because there are two crusierweight matches on the same card! They actually had a good storyline going into this match along with Kidman having a personality for the first time since his fued with Hulk Hogan (which I'm sure most of us would like to forget). These two mesh well together & is actually one of the best matches of the night & the aftermath with the shooting star presses were something to see.
WWE Tag Team Champions Kenzo Suzuki & Rene Dupri vs. RVD & Rey Mysterio - Just like this PPV gave Reigns the best match of his career, this PPV also gave Kenzo Suzuki the best match of his career. It was very fast paced which works well in the favor of RVD & Mysterio. Watchable & solid.
Big Show vs. Kurt Angle - This was one of the best Big Show matches he's had in his career as he's going for revenge after he was "raped of his dignity" (tribute to Andre The Giant). It was a great performance out of both since Angle sold his "fear" of Show while Show looked ruthless.
United States Champion Booker T vs. John Cena - This was the last match of their series and this was another solid encounter as Booker T was one of the guys who brought out the best in John Cena. Back & forth action here and was another enjoyable performance for the night.
Dudleyz & Dawn Marie vs. Rico, Charlie Hass, Miss Jackie - This was based off a storyline where Dawn Marie was implying that she was having an affair with Charlie Hass...who was engaged to Miss Jackie. The match itself was suppost to be a filler but turned out to be very enjoyable as Rico's gimmick made the match comedic at times such as begging for D-Von to give him the "Whazzup!" headbutt to his crotch. Good solid match up.
Last Ride Match: WWE Champion JBL vs. Undertaker - This was a brutal brawl including chair shots & steel steps between the two that heavily makesup for their lackluster SummerSlam encounter. One of JBL's best encounters and a good way to end the show.
The DVD extras that I can remember were a post match Cena interviews with Luther Reigns & John Cena along with a pre-match interview with Booker T. Overall, this was one of the best SmackDown PPV's of the year (the other being No Way Out earlier that year) and is a solid PPV from top to bottom that I recommend.
Movie Review: Oct. 2004 - Continental Airlines Arena - East Rutheford, NJ
Summary: 4 Stars
Solid effort by the Smackdown brand. There is nothing spectacular in the match, but most of the matches are good.
1. Eddie Guerrero vs. Luther Reigns
Good opener. Mark Jindrak came to ringside with Reigns. Actually, a good performance by Luther who is proving he has what it takes to make it big. Of course, a great performance by Latino Heat. Kind of a stupid, but ingenious ending. (7.5/10)
2. Spike Dudley vs. Nunzio (Cruiserweight Title)
The Dudleys came to ringside with Spike and Johhny Stambolie was with Nunzio. People didn't seem to like this match, but I enjoyed it. It was not a very fast paced match, but it was still good. Strong finish with some near falls. (8/10)
3. Billy Kidman vs. Paul London
Paul London is going to be a great talent. Very good match. Probably the match of the night. Plenty of high spots. Watch London do the Shooting Star Press. He gets so hight. Great post match action. (8.5/10)
4. Kenzo Suzuki & Rene Dupree vs. RVD & Rey Mysterio (WWE Tag Titles)
Another good match. Very innovative and exciting offense between Mysterio and RVD. Dupree had one of his better performances. I hope they finally do a Mysterio/Kidman fued. (8/10)
5. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show
Probably, the second worst match of the night. (And, this is coming from a die hard Angle fan). Angle tried his best to carry Show, but just couldn't do it. There just wasn't much going on in this match, except for the top rop Chokeslam by Show on Angle. Very disappointing. (7/10)
6. Booker T vs. John Cena (U.S. Championship/Best of 5, Match #5)
The second worst match of this series, only behind the Summerslam match. You figure they would have saved the best for last. Cena is a great character, but he definately need to hone his wrestling skills. Booker T is starting to become washed up. Not a good match. (7/10)
7. Dudley Boys & Dawn Marie vs. Charlies Haas, Rico, & Jackie (Intergender Tag Match)
It is too bad Haas is not utilized the way he should be. He is a great talent. The Dudley's are getting washed up. (6/10)
8. Undertaker vs. JBL (WWE Title/Last Ride Match)
Slow match, but good. Great chair shot by JBL on Taker. JBL takes some serious bumps in the match. (Will somebody please give him some credit). Taker Tombstones JBL on the steps and Taker Chokeslams JBL from one announce table to the next. Good spot. Kind of surprising finish. Good post match action. (8/10)
I recommed to pick up this DVD because most of the matches are pretty good.
Overall Rating: 8/10
Movie Review: WWE No Mercy 2004
Summary: 4 Stars
Eddie Guerrero vs. Luther Reigns
Good match by these two. Luther should be a good wrestler in the future and should get a U.S. title push. Guerrero wins.
Spike Dudley vs. Nunzio
Spike Dudley wins. WWE's cruiserweight division is a joke, anyway. Spike wins.
Paul London vs. Billy Kidman
This was a good match, but a little short. It had some good spots, but nothing "OH MY GOD!" material. Kidman then SSPs Paul London as London chews a blood capsule. Kidman wins.
Kenzo Suzuki & René Dupreé vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. & Rob Van Dam
This was also a good match, surprisingly. The action at the beginning was what surprised me, actually. Suzuki & Dupreé win when Suzuki uses the ropes.
Big Show vs. Kurt Angle
Big Show comes out lookin' like King Kong Bundy. Har har. Angle tries to count himself out, but Teddy Long forces Angle back in the match. Big Show wins.
Booker T vs. John Cena
Booker T shoulda won. Cena sucks. I loved it when Carlito...Caribbean...Cool won the title from Cena in one of SmackDown!'s all-time greatest moments the SmackDown! after this show. Cena won this match, which sucked like all of Cena's recent matches. Did I mention Cena sucks?
Dudleyz & Dawn Marie vs. Charlie Haas, Rico, & Miss Jackie
Nobody cares/10. Not even that Rico/Bubba kiss saved this. Haas, Rico, & Jackie win.
John "Bradshaw" Layfield vs. Undertaker, Last Ride Match
YEAH! J B L! J B L! Bradshaw wins this match (with a little help from Heidenreich), and takes down Undertaker. Okay match, gotta give props to Bradshaw for taking the chokeslam and the tombstone. Bradshaw is one of the greatest champions of all time. Suck it, Bradshaw haters. J B L! J B L! J B L! Then follows the fake car crash spot.
Good show, I gotta say. Bradshaw retaining is cool. I like.
J B L! J B L! J B L! J B L! J B L!
Movie Review: The main event is not the first ever of its kind
Summary: 4 Stars
The last ride match between JBL and the Undertaker is not the first one of its kind. Remember that rivalry Kane and Shane McMahon had in late 2003? Well the Final Encounter match these two had was an ambulance match, where the object was the same as this last ride match that will take place on October 3rd.
As you can tell this is not a review of what might happen at No Mercy, but some of you have to admit that this is better than what you are reading about the matches that these other people are predicting that will never happen this year. Especially that idiot Starvin Marvin, this is not the first time he/she has been completely annoying. But anyways......
The other matches on No Mercy should be okay, the last ride match has enough time to build up some hype to it that might even make it somewhat watchable. JBL has recently aquired the help of some of Undertaker's former ministry members to fight for his side, Thisera and someone else who we havent seen in a while. This match should be okay, and if the undertaker can chokeslam someone through the top of the hearse like he did at Summerslam, then this might actually be a great match.
As for the rest of the card, we will just have to see. Smackdown is backed into a corner right now and the only way to get its fans to watch it again is to give some decent ppvs, and No Mercy is the perfect time. So anyway, if this isn't helpful, then I apologize for wasting your time, but I am just stating the obvious, and well, I could care less if you hate this.
Oh and one more thing, HAVE A NICE DAY!
