Movie Review: REBELLION '02---From someone who was there!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
I was lucky enough to get tickets to this show and it was quite good.Certainly better than Insurrextion,mainly because this show features the Smackdown roster.WWE Rebellion took place on October 26th 2002 from the Manchester Evening News Arena.Just 6 days after No Mercy.Here is my review:
-Smackdown GM Stephanie McMahon comes out and announces that as part of the trade for Big Show,she was able to bring Raw's Booker T to Rebellion.
1)Booker T VS Matt Hardy.
(Mattitude v.1 comes out and gives the Bookerman a pretty good fast paced match.It lasts about 10 minutes and the crowd reaction to Booker was amazing,I was nearly deafened by someone screaming behind me.Some nice moves and near falls by both athletes and we get to see the Spinaroonie)***1/2
2)Billy Kidman & Torrie Wilson VS John Cena & Dawn Marie.
(This was a short average mixed tag match showing Cena before his rapper gimmick.When Kidman and Cena are in there it's not bad but it goes down rapidly when the women are in.Torrie plants a lip lock on Kidman after the match much to every man in the world's envy)**
3)Crash VS Funaki.
(This was another short match but still good to see Funaki in the ring.Crowd wasn't really into it and it felt like a Velocity match.Few bright spots but not many)**1/2
4)CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE 3 WAY ELIMINATION MATCH:
Jamie Noble(c) VS Tajiri VS Rey Mysterio.
(A very good match in which 2 men must be eliminated.After about 5 minutes Tajiri is eliminated and it's down to Noble and Mysterio.Tons of great moves by both but shame it wasn't a 3 way for longer.Most of Mysterio's trademark innovative moves are used here and Noble pulls off some technical wrestling of his own)****
5)D-Von & Ron Simmons VS Big Valbowski & Chuck Palumbo.
(Back to Velocity...oh I mean Rebellion.Not a great match and no reason or story for it.Valbowski was the most impressive guy in this match,he is badly underused.The other 3 were not so good and the finish was horrible.Worst match of the night)*1/2
6)KISS MY ... MATCH:
Rikishi VS Albert.
(This was a better match than I expected with some phsycology thrown in.Shame we saw rematches about 50 times again over the next few weeks after this show.Tazz and Michael Cole get in the ring and dance with Rikishi at the end)***
7)WWE TAG TEAM TITLES:
Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit(c) VS Eddie & Chavo Guerrero.
(Easily match of the night.The Arena went nuts for Angle and Benoit got some pops too.Very good 20 minute match,typical of Smackdown.Los Guerreros were on top form and Angle and Benoit were their usual flawless self)****1/2
8)WWE CHAMPIONSHIP 2 ON 1:
Brock Lesnar(c) & Paul Heyman VS Edge.
(This was another top notch match.Don't worry Heyman is hardly involved at all and Brock and Edge worked very well together,especially considering they had next to no previous matches with each other.The last few minutes are really good,these 2 could have some great PPV matches in the future)***3/4
Overall this was a good show,better than the Raw brand's Insurrextion.Plus any show without JR and the King commentating is a good thing,not that I dislike them but I prefer Tazz and Cole.
Despite the old 'titles never change hands on UK shows' rule this is still an enjoyable event.Buy it for Angle & Benoit's tag match,the 3 way cruiserweight match,Booker T-Matt Hardy and the WWE Title match.
Movie Review: Rent It, Don't Buy It
Summary: 3 Stars
This UK only PPV was a step down from the previous year's it had alot more just average & bad matches making this look more like an episode of SmackDown than an actual PPV.
Booker T vs. Matt Hardy - These two actually had good chemistry & led to a good opening match.
Dawn Marie, John Cena vs. Billy Kidman, Torrie Wilson - This was one of Cena's matches before the whole "rap gimmick" but he's still green here so this match is real short & just average at best.
Funaki vs. Crash - Short comedic match...nothing more to say here.
Crusierweight Champion Jamie Noble vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri - Nice three way match between these three (eventhough Tajiri got elimated early). Seeing the fans get on Nidia was amusing.
Ron Simmons (Faarooq) & Rev. D-Von vs. Chuck Palumbo & Val Venis - Billy Gunn was injured so they just threw Venis with Chuck. Honestly, nothing good here either but at least it was short.
Rikishi vs. Albert (Kiss My Ass Match) - Again, another short match with nothing really memorable
Tag Team Champions Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit vs. Los Guerreros - This is another "forgotten" match in a series of classics involving Angle/Benoit/Guerrero. All I can say here is tag team wrestling clinic & match of the night. As a side note, the pre match interview with the Guerreros was too funny.
WWE Champion Brock Lesnar & Paul Heyman vs. Edge - This was more like Brock vs. Edge featuring Heyman because Paul was nothing more than just a prop in the corner. This was actually a nice match between the two & if this wasn't on a UK only PPV, you would think Edge actually had a chance of winning the title.
There were only four out of eight matches that were actually worth watching while the rest were duds or things I could only watch once. Great for a video rental but I would pass on purchasing it.
