Movie Reviews of WWE Vengeance 2003
Movie Review: Third best PPV of 2003!! Only Below SummerSlam & Mania.
Summary: 5 Stars
As you all know,Vengeance is Smackdown's! first-ever PPV. And it's a Damn good one too! Lets get on with the review shall we...?
1.Finals of U.S Tournament,Chris Benoit Vs. Eddie Guererro.
WHAT.AN.OPENER. This Match was one of the ***BEST*** Openers I have ever seen in my life,And a MOTY (Match Of The Year) Candidate,It's a technical masterpiece from start to end,The ending was cheap though. 9/10.
2.Indecent Proposal Match,Billy Gunn Vs. Jamie Noble.
Meh is all I can say,The match itself was 3-4 minutes...Couple of good spots *Cough*TopRopeDDT*Cough* this was a FILLER. 4/10.
3.BarRoom Brawl.
HOLY SH** was what I said when I first saw this Brawl! Most of the people on Velocity and the people on mackdown! ((Not on a card in Vengeance)) were there,I'll tell you my favorite spots here. ***Spoilers..I guess*** 1.Easter Bunny getting shoved in that panel thingy. 2.V-1AAAAHH!! Legdrop on a table with the Bashams on it. 3.Shannon Moore Doin' a Somersoult(sp?) from the top onto Sean'OHaire! 8/10.
4.WWE Tag Team Championship,Billy Kidman & Rey Mysterio Vs. Worlds Greatest Tag-Team.
The Match doesn't look good on paper...But when you get to see it,it turns out to be ***MY*** 9th best match ever! Over 15 minutes of fast-paced action!((Mostly by Mysterio))All of us ((Even me...)) Thought it was over after Rey hit that Frankensteiner off the the top rope on Haas,Great finish With the WGTT Retaining. 10/10.
5.Sable Vs. Steph.
Nice match,Stephanie shows her rage on Sable,Not alot of moves were done here,and it was pretty short. Sure the Women don't know how to sell the moves but...anyway Nice looking Spear by Steph. A-Train comes into this match and Costs Steph the match. This sets up Steph Vs. Vinny Mac & 'Taker Vs. A-Train. 8/10.
6.Undertaker Vs. John Cena.
Cena sets up a lame-ass promo to the fans,Fast-Forward this please...Anyway,Onto the match. Sloppy and Short,REALLY Sloppy Undertaker was dominating Cena outside,And The way John Cena Sold that Chokeslam was even more pathetic than the Rock selling the Stunner,I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY THIS MATCH SUCKED BIG-TIME. 6/10.
7.Zach Gowen Vs. Vince McMahon.
O_o; I really wasn't excpecting much from this match and I really didn't,overall a nice match ((For a guy with one leg :-/)) Bad Bladejob by Vince at the end SICK. 7/10.
8.WWE Championship,Kurt Angle Vs. Brock Lesnar Vs. Big Show Triple-Threat-Match.
Did I mention it was no-disqualification rules?! Well...Now I did :-p VERY TIGHT match,A decent announce table bump by Big Show and we get some good action by Brock and Angle,Trashcan lids,Steel Chairs,Tables were all used in this match,Sick spot when Lesnar gets hit by the chair overall an outstanding match by 2 of the best in the Business ((Big show just sucks.)) 10/10.
Movie Review: Awesome!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Was greatly suprised by this ppv. figured it wouldn't be any good. I admit I was wrong. was the best ppv of 2003 up to that point. equal to wrestlemania. much better than bad blood & insurrextion. smackdown has the upper hand on raw at this point. only found 2 flaws in this ppv. one was women's match & no extras on dvd. why? they had 2 mo. worth of material to show. what about U.S. title tournament? was a great disappointment but doesn't take away from ppv.FINALS OF U.S. CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT
CHRIS BENOIT VS EDDIE GUERRERO 8/10- excellent match. these 2 know how to put on a show. great to see eddie getting a push as a singles wrestler. great opener. could have been a main event easily.
APA INVITATIONAL BARROOM BRAWL 5/10- involved APA, SEAN O' HAIRE, MATT HARDY, F.B.I, SHANNON MOORE, SPANKY, KANYON, BASHAM BROS. FUNAKI, EASTER BUNNY, DOINK THE CLOWN, BRO. LOVE, JOHN & MATT FROM TOUGH ENOUGH III, BROOKLYN BRAWLER, LOS CONQUISTADORS & ORLANDO JORDAN. concept very similar to gimmick battle royal @ wrestlemania 17. funny & nostalgic. good to see some guys from the past come back. gave other smackdown guys a chance to be on ppv. not a classic but entertaining. should have put RODDY PIPER & RIKISHI in it.
INDECENT PROPOSAL MATCH
JAMIE NOBLE VS BILLY GUNN(IF NOBLE WINS, GETS A NIGHT WITH TORRIE WILSON) 4/10- was way too short. these 2 should have gotten more time. noble is talented, but is wasted acting like a pervert. too much soap opera here. glad gunn could come back after long layoff, but needs to be in tag team.
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS VS BILLY KIDMAN & REY MYSTERIO 10/10- awesome match. should be a candidate for match of the year. these 4 are on the way up the ladder. almost stole the show. glad to see benjamin & haas dump team angle gimmick. didn't like these 2 when they 1st started, but am impressed more & more.
SABLE VS STEPHANIE MCMAHON 0/10- horrible! awful! went from tag match to this? should have come up with something better than this. a waste of 12 minutes.
JOHN CENA VS UNDERTAKER 9/10- old school vs new school. best match from undertaker in a good while. cena is getting better & better. needs to tone down his act a little with the crowd.
MR. MCMAHON VS ZACH GOWEN 9/10- a historic moment in wrestling history; a one legged wrestler. didn't think this would be good, but was suprised. Gowen is awesome because of his courage & perseverance. not happy with the taunting & mockery of a handicapped person. very untasteful. great ending. a must see.
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
BROCK LESNAR VS BIG SHOW VS KURT ANGLE 10/10- glad to see angle return. been missing him. a match of the year maybe. no ring rust from angle. big show seems to be rising to the occasion lately. a must see.
overall, smackdown hits a grand slam with vengeance.

Undertaker vs. John Cena

WINNER UNDERTAKER MATCH RATING 9/10
Vince McMahon vs. Zach Gowen
A weird kind of match as Zach really took it to the owner of the WWE Vince McMahon
Zach fought the whole fight on one leg he busted McMahon up really good but me being a fan of Vince McMahon I wanted McMahon to win and he did what a great match very good match up
WINNER VINCE MCMAHON MATCH RATING 9/10
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
Brook Lesnar vs. Big Show vs. Kurt Angle
One of the best title matches of the year Kurt Angle returning to pay per view from his 2 months in hospital having neck surgery from the match that him and Lesnar had at Wrestlemania 19 were Angle feel very awkward on his neck this was indeed a rematch from Wrestlemania with Big Show thrown in to the mix as a big Kurt Angle fan I was rooting for him for the duration of the match and what a match it was an all time classic smack down match at the end Kurt Angle was victorious against Lesnar and recaptured the WWE championship he had lost at Wrestlemania
WINNER KURT ANGLE MATCH RATING 10/10
Vengeance is one of the best smack down events that I have seen I give the event 10/10
Movie Review: 2nd Best PPV of 2003!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
1. US title: Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Gurrero: This was the greatest opener of 2003 and maybe the greatest opener of all time. An amazing technical war to begin a championships run. Lots of finishers and near falls. Rhyno interferes in the end but it was still great. 10/10
2. Billy Gunn vs. Jamie Noble: Pretty pointless. The two just don't mix. A disgusting proposition on the match in which if Noble beats Gunn he gets to sleep with Torrie. Only bummer on the card. Pretty short too but I still somehow found it a little decent. 5/10
3. APA Invintational: Basically, it was a bar room brawl in a little spot by the stage set to look like an old Saloon. This was soooooo enetertaining! Characters like Brother Love and the Easter Bunny are featured. It had some really funny moments like the Easter Bunny being thrown out the window by Bradshaw, and some really brutal moments like Shannon Moore leaping off the stage back into the bar on O'Haire! 9/10
4. WWE Tag Team Championship: Worlds Greatest Tag Team vs. Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman: Awesome tag team match. Pure greatness in this one. It was way better than it was expected to be. The two teams really mix. Kidman pulls off an amazing stunt when he performs the Shooting Star Press from the middle of the top rope to the outside! Great match. 9.5/10
5. No Countout Catfight: Sable vs. Stephanie McMahon: WOW. It was a womens match...and still entertaining! Is that possible? You may ask. But this was great. They beat the holy hell out of each other. If wwe was all womens, this match would be Match of The Decade! But in normal rating... 8.5/10
6. Undertaker vs. John Cena: Great match. This was a war with tons of finishers and quite a bit of chain shots from Cena. Youll be suprised with how big of a fight Cena puts up before he finally goes down. Hell, Undertaker is bleeding from the mouth at the end! But in the end, the Deadman remains dominant. 9.5/10
7. Vince McMahon vs. Zach Gowen: I was expcting a total sh*t match here, but it was great! Zach does some cool moonsults and stuff, and in the end, he even splits Vince wide open! Vince wins but man, what a performance by Zach. 9/10
8. WWE Championship Triple Threat: Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show: Match of the Night. Lesnar and Angle both get opened up, Big Show gets Angle Slammed through the announce table, tons of chair shots and finishers, and the title changes hands. Im suprised this match isn't talked about anymore because it was great. A great gain if you buy this DVD and a classic in my opinion. 10/10
Unfortunately, this DVD features no extras, which is a major bummer, but the awesome ppv makes up for it.
Movie Review: AWESOME!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
what a way for smackdown to kick off their 1st ppv. blew bad blood out of the water. smackdown owns raw so far. vengeance was equal to wrestlemania as the best so far in 2003. was expecting a sorry effort but got a 5 star ppv. the only downside to the dvd was their weren't any special features. why did wwe do this?they had 2 months worth of material such as u.s. title tournament matches on smackdown.
U.S TITLE TOURNAMENT FINAL
CHRIS BENOIT VS EDDIE GUERRERO 8/10- what a way to kick off this ppv with a great match. slow start to it, but it picked up and finished strong. suprise ending.
APA INVITATIONAL BARROOM BRAWL 5/10- this featured APA, F.B.I., BASHAM BROTHERS, LOS CONQUISTADORS, JOHN & MATT FROM TOUGH ENOUGH III, ORLANDO JORDAN, BROOKLYN BRAWLER, SHANNON MOORE, FUNAKI, BROTHER LOVE, DOINK THE CLOWN, KANYON, EASTER BUNNY, SPANKY, MATT HARDY & SEAN O' HAIRE. no great classic here, but very entertaining. several funny spots in it. reminded me of gimmick battle royal @ wrestlemania 17. bringing in some of the yesteryear guys was a good idea to make it funny. allowed some guys to be on ppv who never get the chance to. should have included rikishi & roddy piper.
INDECENT PROPOSAL MATCH
JAMIE NOBLE VS BILLY GUNN 4/10- [...] gunn is better at tag team wrestling. could have been much better.
WWE TAG TEAM TITLE
SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS VS BILLY KIDMAN & REY MYSTERIO 10/10- a match of the year candidate. great exhibit of what wrestling should be. glad to see benjamin & haas shed team angle gimmick. kidman & mysterio should team up more.
SABLE VS STEPHANIE MCMAHON 0/10- awful. terrible. why was this even on ppv? these 2 have no talent whatsoever. ending was stupid.
JOHN CENA VS UNDERTAKER 9/10- great match here. cena gets better every time. undertaker's best performance in a while. like cena as a wrestler but he needs to tone down his act.
MR. MCMAHON VS ZACH GOWEN 9/10- didn't expect much here but got suprised. this match has a lot of historical precedence. gowen is the 1st handicapped wrestler ever. to even stand on one leg much less wrestle is amazing. kid did moves most people with 2 legs couldn't do. great ending. a must see. disappointed that vince would make fun of the handicapped. i know it's a show, but shows a lack of character on his part as the owner of the co.
WWE TITLE IN TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
BROCK LESNAR VS BIG SHOW VS KURT ANGLE 10/10- another a match of the year candidate. glad to see angle back. even big show contributed to the match instead of hindering it. a classic back & forth match. seem like the time flew in this one.
looking forward to future smackdown events.
