Movie Reviews of WWE SummerSlam 2003
Movie Review: Summerslam 2003... Not as good as I hoped
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a big fan of the Elimination Chamber Match, so I was pretty much buying this for that match, but I was highly dissapointed.
1. World Tag Team Championship Match\
La Resistance(Champs) vs. Dudleyz
Ok match. Good for an opening match. Ends badly though with La Resistance cheating to retain.(3*) Maxium 5 stars
2.Undertaker vs. A-train
I thought this match was awesome. Momentum kept turning back and forth and back and forth so it was just crazy. I thought A-train was gonna win in many parts of this match but the Deadman was victorious.(4*)
3.Shane McMahon vs. Eric Bischoff
Good match I thought. It is sort of ruined when Coach interfeers and beats Shane up with a chair. Though, Shane gets back in the match and wins by an jumping of the top rope on Eric out on top of an annoucer table and then gets the pin.(3*)
4.Fatal Four-Way For The U.S. Championship
Eddie Guerrero(Champ) vs. Chris Benoit vs. Rhyno vs. Tajiri
Good match. I like Eddie now but didn't at this time so I didn't like how he pretty much took advantage on all of the other 3. I was hoping Benoit or Rhyno would win. Eddie wins with the Frog Splash to Rhyno and gets the pin.(4*)
5.WWE Championship Match
Kurt Angle(Champ) vs. Brock Lesnar
Right now I hate Kurt Angle but didn't then so really happt how this match turned out. Still, this match was amazing. Best on the card. In the end, Angle gets the Angle Lock and Lesnar graps the ropes on all 4 sides of the ring but Angle keeps pulling him back to the middle. Despite Mr. Mcmahon's efforts to make Brock not tap out, Lesnar is forced to. Afterwards Mr. McMahon gets Angle Slammed through a chair(That was awesome!).(5*)
6.Rob Van Dam vs. Kane
Really awesome match. Probably 2nd best on the card, just don't like it cause Kane wins. Kane eventually pins RVD after Tombstoning him on the steel steps.
7.Elimination Chamber Match For The World Heavyweight Championship
HHH(Champ) vs. Randy Orton vs. Y2J Chris Jericho vs. Goldberg vs. HBK Shawn Michaels vs. Kevin Nash
Worst match ever. Period. I was really dissapointed here. I was hoping Shawn Michaels or Y2J would win but they are the first 2 in! Goldberg eliminates everyone them HHH is thrown a sledgehammer by Ric Flair and Goldberg goes to spear HHH but he gets the sledgehammer up and bangs Goldberg in the head getting the victory.(1*)
Order of Eliminations
Kevin Nash out by Jericho
Jericho out by Goldberg
HBK out by Goldberg
Orton out by Goldberg
Goldberg out by HHH
Overall this was a pretty good ppv. The Elimination Chamber match is a disappointment though. P.S. Matt Hardy was supposed to fight Zach Gowen but Zach was injured by Lesnar the Smackdown before this PPV so Matt declares himself the winner.
Movie Review: Make PPV's More Entertaining!
Summary: 4 Stars
Let's see if any of the reviews changes some minds! HUH!I'll get started by saying that most of these matches weren't
bad, but - until the Chamber Match (I turned it off)
1st - No Matt Hardy vs. Zach Gowan (he was badly injured)
(just something Matt Hardy can use against the kid -)
Fatal Four-Way U.S Championship - Fun, and Awesome! = 4 stars
Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit vs. Rhyno vs. Tajiri
(This was great because no one was on the same page, and
their were no alliances between Benoit/Rhyno or Eddie/Tajiri)
(Lots of great back n forth action, cool maneuvers and
tight quickness, just didn't want this one to end)*
- WAS A GREAT OPENER
World Tag-Team Championship = 3 stars
Dudley Boyz vs. La Resistance
(The Dudleyz totally should have won this, why can they not
block that stupid double move they use, it's so counterable)
No Disqualification Match = 1 star (at the least)
Shane vs. Bischoff
(Nothing really made this No Disqualification)
(And this so-called match, wasn't anything)
Undertaker vs. A-Train = 3 stars
(Great match, just like Taker vs. Cena at Vengeance)
(The Taker is just so amazing, especially with his back
against the wall, and forced to fend him off with an injury)
No-Holds Barred Match = 2 stars (not much GOOD, action)
Rob Van Dam vs. Kane
(Even with the stipulation, nothing really made a difference)
(Some ladder use, and a chair and the steel steps - that's all)
(Kind of a pre-empt to the big match at Unforgiven)
WWE Championship = 3.5 stars (not better than Wrestlemania)
Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle
(With a twisted side to him, Brock's a muscle nutcase)
(Kurt never gave up hope, and finally made Brock - TAP)
(Great action though, kind of similar to Wrestlemania!)
AND NOW ON TO THE FAIRLY WORTHLESS - CHAMBER MATCH
Jericho vs. Triple H vs. Goldberg vs. Michaels vs. Nash vs. Orton
-Let me explain some key points!
-This was nothing, I repeat nothing like Survivor Series?
-Eliminations were almost all by Goldberg?
-Everyone was gone way too freaking quickly, and was short)
-Triple H cowering inside the secondary chamber - wussy!
-Nash is nothing special, neither was Michaels in this thing
-And I still can't believe Orton didn't even attempt to win
the damn title (Triple H has a sick noose on these guys)
-Plus Goldberg was totally floored after this ended, beaten
and totally bloodied, will someone arrest HHH for battery???
-You want to see something better, watch women fight...
(But the one-on-ones and fatal four-way are worth it)
Movie Review: A good ppv
Summary: 4 Stars
1) La Resistance vs. The Dudley Boyz 4 the Tag titlesA nice opener, nice moves and a very intellegent win by la resistance 7/10
2)Undertaker vs. A-Train
A decent match with some good moves, seen better 'taker matches before. Steph taking out her revenge from Sable was cool 6.5/10
3)Shane vs. Eric Bishoff
This was the match that I expected to be a boring brawl between shane and eric but it was d*** entertaining with the interferances of the Coach and Austin. expecially it was so cool when Austin got involved with the match. A classical-and nice Shane ending :P 8/10
4)Fatal 4 way match 4 the US. title
It was a fast match and really fun to watch. Tajiri was expecially good. The last minutes of the match was very exciting when eddie used the title to block the gore and both tajiri benoit and eddie tried their chances to get the fall but it was eddie who frogged rhyno on the belt to retain his title! God I love eddie:)) 9/10
5)Angle vs. Lesnar for the WWE Undisputed Championship
A very technical match where both lesnar and angle show how talented they are. It was cool to watch Angle insults Brock! The ending was very nice when Kurt taps brock out and this was one of the best matches of the night! 9/10
6)Rvd vs. Kane
A good match but I thought it was not that entertaining. RVD did fought good till the end but it was Kane who tombstoned RD on the steel steps. 7/10
7)Elinination Chamber for the WWE Heavyweight title
This was WAY FAR from the last years elimination chamber match it was SHORT SLOW and NOT ENTERTAINING. I expexted lots of violance and blood (in the end the promos state that this is the product of the devil himself to punish :) but it was no more than a 6 man battle royal match! It is not a bad match but it did not meet my expectations! And also I really dont like golberg, he gets in to the ring and eliminates orton HBK and Y2J yes this guy maybe a very intense wrestler but how can he eliminate 3 wrestlers (HBK and Y2J expecially) when he just enters the ring!!! I also think that Triple H looked very weak but again I prefer HHH to cheat (use the sldge hamer given by Flair to block the spear) to win rather than see goldbeg take out every one in the chamber and be WWE champion.In the end not the main event that was expectecd but still some good in ring action but fails to meet the expextations 6/10
In the end SummerSlam is a very good ppv with cool wrestling moves and good endings but if you are going to buy his ppv just for the elimination chamber do not but it (unless you are a huge goldberg fan that can withstand seeing him losing). If not for the elimination chamber, buy it
Movie Review: Hi, I'm Sean
Summary: 4 Stars
HI, I'M SEAN. SUMMERSLAM 2003 IS OVERALL ONE OF THE BEST PPVS OF 2003.
WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: LA RESISTANCE VS. THE DUDLEY BOYZ
This match was overall pretty good. There was plenty of action and not really any slow spots. Both teams fought it out hard. Perfect for an opener. The ending was a let down and obviously not well thought out for the second biggest ppv of the year. 7/10
UNDERTAKER VS. A-TRAIN
I enjoyed this match but I wish they would have added a little bit more from a-train. It was better than his wrestlemania match though. There some cool spots and at the end Stephanie McMahon beats up Sable. Undertaker saved the match and made it worth seeing. 6 3/4/ 10
SHANE MCMAHON VS. ERIC BISCHOFF
Stone Cold saved the match. There was hardly any NO DQ action. KANE VS. SHANE would have better with their last man standing match 1 ppv away. The Coach and Eric Bischoff suck at wrestling, especialy with someone as talented as Shane. 4/10
ZACH GOWEN VS. MATT HARDY
WASTE OF TIME!!! It isn't a match because Zach can't wrestle due to injury. Matt trys to take the credit. Really dissapointing with guys like Christian, Booker T, Big Show, and Edge not on the card. 0/10
FATAL FOUR-WAY MATCH FOR THE U.S. CHAMPIONSHIP: EDDIE GUERRERO VS. CHRIS BENOIT VS. RHYNO VS. TAJIRI
AWSOME MATCH. Action everywhere! This is one of the best matches one the card. Tajiri gives some awsome kicks, Rhyno beats everyone in sight, Eddie lies, cheats, and steals his way to victory. The only bad thing is sucky Benoit. 9/10
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: KURT ANGLE VS. BROCK LESNAR
Pretty good match. Both competiters gave it all and it payed of. This match is full of action and a lot of owwws and auughs. The only bad thing is McMahon's involvement at the end and a few slow spots. 8 1/2/10
ROB VAN DAM VS. KANE
BEST MATCH OF THE Full of high flying moves, weapon shots, an people getting beat up. 10/10
ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH FOR THE WORLD HEAVEYWEIGHT TITEL: TRIPLE H VS. SHAWN MICHAELS VS. CHRIS JERICHO VS. RANDY ORTON VS. KEVIN NASH VS. GOLDBERG
Pretty good match. A lot of action and suspense. It wasn't as good as the last one though. There was to much Goldberg not enough everyone else. Goldberg made every one else look bad and took them all out to fast. Kevin Nash was out way to early. The ending was let down. It was still good though. 7/10
Movie Review: SUMMERSLAM SCORES
Summary: 4 Stars
a good effort for wwe. could have been better since raw & smackdown teamed up again. summerslam is wwe 's 3rd biggest event of the year. again, no extras on the dvd. what's going on here? this is summerslam for crying out loud!WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
LA RESISTANCE VS BUBBA RAY & D-VON DUDLEY 7/10- resistance is getting better. need to drop the un-american angle. a good tag team match with a suprise ending
A-TRAIN VS UNDERTAKER 7/10- a better match than i expected. a- train finally looks decent. wasn't a bore at all
ERIC BISCHOFF VS SHANE MCMAHON 8/10- glad to see shane return to the ring. not a great match but gets a high rating because of the entertainment it provides. involvement of steve austin & jonathan coachman was great. crowd was on their feet.
U.S. CHAMPIONSHIP(FATAL FOUR WAY MATCH)
EDDIE GUERRERO VS CHRIS BENOIT VS RHYNO VS TAJIRI 7/10- this could have been a 10 if rhyno wasn't involved. should have used cena, mysterio or kidman instead of rhyno. slow start but pace picked up & made for a good match despite rhyno.
MATT HARDY VS ZACH GOWEN 0/10- was very disappointed this match was canceled. gowen was brutally injured by lesnar on previous smackdown & unable to compete. hardy declared the winner by forfeit on Heat. would have been a great match.
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
KURT ANGLE VS BROCK LESNAR 10/10- even better than their wrestlemania match. an all out effort. this is the match of the year. awesome ending.
KANE VS ROB VAN DAM 6/10- weird to see kane without a mask. doesn't seem like the same guy. was expecting a great one; instead was kind of lackluster. a big letdown from these 2.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP(ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH)
TRIPLE HHH VS KEVIN NASH VS SHAWN MICHAELS VS CHRIS JERICHO VS GOLDBERG VS RANDY ORTON 5/10- a big disappointment! was not long enough. only 20 minutes compared to the 1st one at survivor series being 40 minutes. 1st one was a classic; this one was a dud. why was orton in this? he's never been in a ppv; now he's in the main event?should have put booker t back in it.if not for certain moments this would have been worse.
overall, this would have been a great summerslam if not for the last 2 matches. smackdown carried this one. raw was disappointing. why was john cena, rey mysterio, billy kidman, big show, charlie haas & shelton benjamin left off the card from smackdown? why was booker t & christian left out from raw? christian is the intercontinental champion for pete's sake!
