Movie Reviews of WWE SummerSlam 2002

Movie Review: Lacks a Strong Mid-Card
Summary: 4 Stars

I have been a wrestling fan since 1996 and have watched all kinds of wrestling. I have a wrestling DVD/VHS collection spanning over 50 all together. This is the most complete and accurate review of this DVD you will find. I hope you find this review helpful; remember to vote helpful or not helpful. (Note-Each DVD I review has a "Match of the DVD" award somewhere in it.)

WWE Summerslam 2002
Summerslam is WWE's second biggest PPV and almost always delivers. This year's is no exception. A new era would begin tonight, and a broken man will try to reclaim former glory. Summerslam 2002 is one of 2002's best PPVs.

Rey Mysterio VS Kurt Angle
This was Rey Mysterio's first PPV match for the WWE and it was amazing. Kurt Angle brings out the best in Rey. Rey starts out the match by sneaking behind Angle and attacking him. The match is non-stop action from that point. There are tons of near falls in this one. Amazing ending as well.
RATING- 10/10

After this the two GMs, Stephanie McMahon and Eric Bischoff, meet in the GM office to discuss the nights events.

Ric Flair VS Chris Jericho
Well, you can't have two awesome matches in a row. This match isn't horrible; it's just your average Raw match. Jericho uses Ric Flair's own Figure-4 on Flair, which is pretty nice.
RATING- 6.5/10

Edge VS Eddie Guerrero
Edge hurts his shoulder early in the match and Eddie targets it. This is a very solid match between two great superstars. Edge hits a huge top rope face buster on Eddie. Eddie also hits a sick Frog Splash onto Edge's arm.
RATING- 7.5/10

WWE Tag Team Championship
Lance Storm & Christian(c) VS Booker T & Goldust
I am one of the only people in the world that liked the Un-Americans. I thought they were some of the best heels of the entire roster. Either way, this is a solid match up. Goldust is getting little reaction, but Booker T is on fire with the crowd. There is a lot of cheating and such, but you should expect that. Cheap Ending.
RATING- 7/10

Intercontinental Championship
Chris Benoit(c) VS Rob Van Dam
Chris Benoit, along with Eddie Guerrero, had just defected from Raw to Smackdown. Chris Benoit took the Intercontinental Title with him. Eric Bischoff is determined to get it back and here we are. I am not a fan of this match. It is extremely slow and RVD seems to be out of his element.
RATING- 7/10

Undertaker VS Test
Test can be a very solid wrestler when he wants to be. Undertaker is almost always good. Tonight, luckily, Test was on the ball. These two put on a great big man's contest. There is interference, but it doesn't last long thanks to Undertaker.
RATING- 7/10

Non-Sanctioned Match (Match of the DVD)
Shawn Michaels VS Triple H
What does Non-Sanctioned mean? It means that WWE expects so much carnage from this match that they are pretending it isn't even happening. This is Shawn Michaels' first match since WWE WrestleMania XIV - DX-Raided, in early 1998. No one was expecting what happened in this match. Trash cans, tables, steel chairs, and a ladder are used it this brutal contest. Triple H bleeds all over the place. Michaels puts his life on the line to give us one of the greatest matches of all-time.
RATING- 10/10

Between the final two matches, a segment involving Trish Stratus, Lillian Garcia, and Howard Finkel takes place. I don't find it funny, but I'm sure some one will.

WWE Undisputed Championship
The Rock(c) VS Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman
The Rock rockets to the ring to start the match. Each man gets an equal amount of offence in the match. The crowd is going insane for both Lesnar and The Rock. Heyman gets Rock Bottomed through the announce table. Brock Lesnar even uses the Rock Bottom. I thought the ending was too anticlimactic and the match was too short.
RATING- 8/10

Extras Include-
Post Match Interviews
Training with The Rock
Training with Brock Lesnar

The "F-5"

Sunday Night Heat Interview- Kurt Angle

Brock Lesnar VS Hollywood Hulk Hogan- Smackdown 8/8/02
This is a great extra to have. Hogan tries very hard, but cannot overcome the monster that is Lesnar.
RATING- 7.5/10

Summary of WWE SummerSlam 2002

Despite the overhyped main event--"Next Big Thing" Brock Lesnar vs. the Rock--many will remember SummerSlam 2002 for one reason: the brief, exhilarating return of Shawn Michaels, the Heartbreak Kid, the Showstopper. The 15-year veteran returned to the ring after a four-year absence for a one-night-only appearance that resulted in the type of exhilarating match that the WWE sorely needed. The lead-in story line was solid, if well worn--former "best friend" Triple H turns on Michaels, leading to a nonsanctioned (i.e., hardcore) match--but the match is a bloody, messy, high-flying epic: Michaels shows no rust and Triple H gives one of his most emotional performances. Every other match (except perhaps RVD vs. Chris Benoit) pales in comparison. Sadly, Brock and Rock had to take the ring after Michaels and Triple H, and the results are underwhelming. Perhaps it's Lesnar's fault--his size and lack of charisma recall boring former giants King Kong Bundy or Yokozuna. But in reality, SummerSlam's main event simply came one match too soon. --Dave McCoy
