Movie Reviews of WWE SummerSlam 2002
Movie Review: One of the greatest summerslams of all time!
Summary: 5 Stars
Summerslam 2002 was easily one of the best Summerslams of all time. Every match on the card was decent. Here are the matches and how I thought they were:1. Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio 8/10 Perfect opener for this event. It was filled with fast paced action and got the crowd on its feet.
2. Ric Flair vs Chris Jericho 7/10 I don't get why everybody thinks this match isn't that good. Yeah, there were a good amount of chops and a few of the moves got a little messed up, but other than that, it was a very decent match.
3. Edge vs Eddie Guerrero 8.5/10 Excellent match. Nice Bumps taken and overall, a great wrestling match.
4. Tag Team Title Match Booker T and Goldust vs the Un-Americans 6.5/10 Pretty good match. I think this match is a little overrated. All these men are great superstars and very talented, but I really think they could of put on a better match. It was still better than the average Raw match and certainly watchable.
5. Intercontinental Title Match RVD vs Chris Benoit 9/10 Awesome Wrestling Match. Technical, High Flying, Brawling, everything. I'm just letting anyone know that if you saw their match on Raw a few weeks before this, its not quite as good as that one. I thought their raw match topped this one because, believe it or not, there were some slow parts in this match. Even though it didn't top the raw match, it still lived up to the hype.
6. Undertaker vs Test 8/10 This was another match that is very underrated. Many say that having 2 big men in a match will never be that good. But the Undertaker and Test proved them wrong. And when the Undertaker stood on the turnbuckle after the match and held up the American flag, every fan rose to their feet. It was a classic moment in wrestling history.
7. Non-Sanctioned match Triple h vs Shawn Micheals 10/10 This match blew me away. I'll admit, I'm a Triple h fan. But I didn't care that he lost. It was great to see Shawn in the ring again. He proved that he can still be the show stopper. This match might not only be the best match of 2002, but the best match of all time.
8. WWE Championship match The Rock vs Brock Lesnar 9/10 Great Main Event. Not only was it a great match, but the cheering shifted back and forth. Sometimes for the Rock and sometimes for Lesnar. It really was a great match.
If you are going to buy this pay per view and can watch DVD's, buy this on DVD. It has a ton of extras. But no matter what, buy this pay per view. You will not be dissapointed.
Movie Review: HBK RETURNS!...
Summary: 5 Stars
I was at this in person.....great PPV...with the exception of a few lackluster matches (Flair/Jericho....why the hell is Jericho stuck wrestling Flair?? its a waste of Jericho's talent....Test/UT also kinda ...)....this was maybe the best PPV of the year....Angle/Mysterio have a excellent fast-paced match to kick things off...the UnAmericans defend their titles against Booker T/Goldust....tremendous crowd heat by the UnAmericans (its about damn time Lance Storm got some attention...ECW!! ECW!!).....as they "cheat" their way to victory....Edge/Eddie Guerrero put forth a solid match...although not as much high-flying action as you might expect...classic match for the IC belt between RVD and Chris Benoit....then the match of the night (and my vote for PPV match of the year)....a comeback 4 years in the making....the legend Shawn Michaels makes his return to the ring in a non-sanctioned match with Triple H...honestly I didnt know what to expect from HBK in this match....4 years is a long layoff....but he put on one hell of a show...he takes some crazy bumps...and shows his old flair for the dramatic as well as some high-risk maneuvers....not the same old HBK....but close enough....I hate Triple H...but I have to say he also has one of his best matches here....if this is HBK's last match....it was a great way for him to go out....finally we have the main event....WWE Undisputed Championship match between Brock Lesnar and The Rock (Rock's last match before he goes off to shoot some more movies)....interesting match not of what happened in the ring...but out of it....surprisingly Rock gets booed bigtime by the crowd here....I know alot of people have asked me why that happened....2 reasons...alot of wrestling fans are ... off at Rock thinking he has "sold out" by not staying with the WWE full-time....and going off to Hollywood to make movies.....also the last time the WWE came to Nassau Coliseum was for a house show that Rock was advertised to be at....yet he never showed at the event....but I know more and more people are ... at the Rock for "selling out"....so it wouldnt surprise me to see him get booed the next time he steps foot in a WWE ring.....anyways no surprise in this match....you knew Lesnar would win since he is getting pushed to the heavens...and Rock leaving again....Lesnar finishes Rocky off with an F-5 and we have a new champion......all in all.....a great PPV...highlighted by the return of the showstoppa...the icon...the main event....HBK!!Movie Review: heard it's the best PPV of 2002 + KURT ANGLE doesn't suck,
Summary: 5 Stars
I started watching WWE Wrestling mid 2001(before JUDGEMENT DAY)and from then on KURTS been my favourite wrestler, he was a heel(bad guy)alot of the time.
REY V KURT -
first opinion
In my opinion the best match of the night. The online quality was bad compared to the DVD I bought. The first part of the match is a classic(it makes my hair stand on the back of my neck), Rey is on fire as well as KURT for a minuit. kurt dilivers a sweet belly to belly and something that looks like a german back suplex but not quite(Snow plex, Al Snows move). REY gave 100% and so did KURT but he wasn't peforming his best. After the match STEPH MC MAHON was impressed and told someone to tell ERIC BISCHOFF to TOP that match.
CHRIS JERICHO V RIC FLAIR - This was better than I thought. It was quite fast paced until they were doing the quite lame submission moves at the end.
EDDIE V EDGE - GREAT match. One of the best of the night. I hated how EDDIE worked on EDGES injured arm, I fast forward the part were eddie has edges arm when on the mat and the match does not look boring. It is good when Eddie does the frog splash on the injured arm and how Michael Cole reacts to it.
BOOKER T, GOLDUST V LANCE STORM, CHRISTIAN - good. Nothing special
CHRIS BENOIT V RVD -
A great match. It needs to grow on to you.
UNDERTAKER V TEST - Okay match. a better match with Test is against Edge at Survivor Series 2001.
SHAWN MICHEALS V HHH - Great match involving tables, ladders and chairs and more. SHAWN shows some great athletesisem when going for a roll up. This in my opinion is overated. People are givin this the top score, if it was out of 5 I would give it 4.3/5. The reason because there's not alot of wrestling involved but alot of weapons used.
ROCK V BROCK - This started good and towards the end the crowd were on thier feet when there were some good countering. That was what another reviewer said but I think it's all good, I fast farward when Brock does the boring bear hug.
I own KING OF THE RING 2001(1 great match, you guessed it the street fight), SURVIVOR SERIES 2001(1 awesome match, elimination tag and the rest are good or very good, it depends how long the matches go on for)and WRESTLE MANIA X 7(atleast 5 great matches with 2nd TLC)and this beats them except MANIA X 7.
Movie Review: Hands down the best PPV of the year! SPOILERS AHEAD
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. I was very impressed with this ppv. Lets start off. I'll only review some. (Haven't seen this in a long time.Only review what I can recall)
ANGLE VS MYSTERIO
Terrific match. At one point Angle does a massive german suplex on Mysterio. The thud can be heard throughout the arena. Then mysterio wicked flip from the top of the ropes outside to the ring. The match capped it all off with an ankle lock. Great!
EDGE VS GURREARO
Yet another great match. Intense restholds by Edge and some high flying from Eddie. Theres this one really sick part where Edge gets on top of the top turnbuckle and dives outside of the ring. He lands on Eddie in the proccess, but Edge reciewves the most damage. Realy long match, too. Watch it
BENOIT VS VAN DAM
You'll never be able to expect what kind of match this'll turn to. Yep, another great match. Awsome reversals by all two men. Van dam does an impressive crossbody in mid air right when he was about to plunge on the mat. Flying, techinical wrestling. Yeah. Do not skip. Great match.
NON SANTIONED SHAWN MICHEALS VS TRIPLE H
Wow, where to start. This match was the best of the night. Hell, best of the year. This match was top notch.(Excluding Triple H's somewhat goofy looking haircut) In the beggining micheal drives Triple H's head into the ring post. Micheals gets a trash can and attempts to whack H with it. But H counters by lifting micheals and dropping him on the barracade. Then H lifts micheals up but micheals hits him with the trash can lid. One really great part was when micheals ran around the ring and slammmed Triple H's head onto the steel steps. That was incredible. More spots like Micheals splashing from the top rope onto Tripple H while on the table, outside of the ring. (The table looked wierd when it was destroyed)Then micheals graps a ladder and places it in ther corner. Climbs it and does the elbow from the top!! Then he was about to perform the sweet chin music and then.......NO! triple H counters! He prepares a pedigree then Micheals suddenly reverses it and gets a 3 count! The crowd goes insane! and so did JR. (Then H had to be a loser and ruin everything else in the aftermath. But he should be happy. He actually executed some good moves for once)
Movie Review: Summerslam 2002 was incredible
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best pay per views I've ever seen.Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio: A great match. Kurt Angle worked very well with Rey's high-flying style. Both men gave 100%. A very solid opener. 9/10 stars
Ric Flair vs. Chris Jericho: Really added to the opening of Summerslam. I love the feud between these two and Ric Flair's constant "Woo!"'s during the match. Good wrestling for both of them. 8/10 stars
Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero: An okay match; nothing special. This is a good match to get up and go to the bathroom. 5/10 stars
The Un-americans vs. Booker T & Goldust: This was a pretty good match. Entertaining to watch, Booker T with a good spinarooni (as always). The Un-americans pulled off the win for the upset to retain the World Tag Team Titles. 7/10 stars
Rob Van Dam vs. Chris Benoit: The RAW vs. Smackdown! match. A pretty good match throughout. RVD's showed just how much agility he had and Benoit had some pretty solid moves himself.
RVD takes the win and the Intercontinental Championship for the superior brand of the WWE. 8/10 stars
The Undertaker vs. Test: Basically the two wrestlers left over from the American/Un-american feud. A good match. Both wrestlers were a little sloppy, but entertaining to watch. After Taker won, he played to the audience by going into the crowd and holding up the American flag. 7/10 stars
Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels: This is my absolute favorite match of all time. The non sanctioned match and Shawn's comeback match. These two men couldn't have impressed me more. A very long match, these two using practically every weapon that was under the ring. Very good in-ring and out-ring action. I thought Shawn Michaels' roll-up pin was a bad way to end the match, but everybody forgot about that when Triple H destroyed Shawn's spine with his sledgehammer. Followed by very hilarious announcing from J.R. as Triple H left the ring. 10/10 stars
The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar: A very great, very entertaining match with great effort put forth by both men. They really put on a great show. 10/10 stars
I advise you to buy Summerslam 2002! If you like wrestling, you'll like this!
