Movie Reviews of WWE Vengeance 2003
Movie Review: 1st Smackdown! only PPV delivers in a BIG way
Summary: 5 Stars
Vengeance was just awesome. It blows RAW's pay-per-view Bad Blood away. Not a bad match on the card either. Here's the rundown, from best to worst.1. United States Championship (Finals):
Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit
*****
-Awesome match, match of the year in my opinion. Outdid their Armageddon match big time.
2. WWE Tag Team Championship:
World's Great Tag Team[c] vs. Billy Kidman & Rey Mysterio
*****
-Another awesome match, this might be the greatest tag-team match......ever! Big ups to both teams for a sweet match.
3. No Disqualification Match for the WWE Championship:
Brock Lesnar[c] vs. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show
*****
-Yet another great match (there are a lot of these). It was No Diqualification too, meaning trash can lids, chairs, everything you can imagine used in this match. Plus, a new WWE Champion is crowned!
4. Undertaker vs. John Cena
****1/2
-Brutal match. Blood was spilled and 'Taker was nearly beat to a bloody pulp. I loved every second of this match. Just goes to show, Undertaker's in better shape than he's ever been in.
5. Zach Gowen vs. Vince McMahon
****
-Good way to push Zach, right Vince? No, despite Zach's first loss---to Vince of all people, both still delivered a solid contest. Zach did asai moonsaults and risked life and limb to deliver a top-quality performance at Vengeance. Unfortunately, Vince didn't follow suit and Zach had to carry him almost the entire match.
6. APA Invitational Brawl
***1/2
-A stupid concept, but this match wasn't too bad. Bradshaw, Faarooq, Sean O' Haire, Matt Hardy, Spanky, and the Easter Bunny (yes, the Easter Bunny) were all involved. Plus, many others. It was basically just a match with people hitting eachother over the head with whatever they could find. Not a bad match though.
7. Indecent Proposal:
Billy Gunn w/ Torrie vs. Jamie Knoble w/ Nidia
***1/2
-Not too bad of a match. Gunn gave forth a solid performance. Knoble did the same. Nothing special here. Very predictable ending.
8. Catfight:
Stephanie McMahon vs. Sable
***1/2
-Great hype, okay match. As far as catfights go, this one wasn't bad. But defenitley didn't come close to the hype.
BoTTom LinE: Great pay-per-view. After Wrestlemania XIX, be sure to buy this one! I strongly recommend this DVD.
Movie Review: Smackdown shines with first ever Pay Per View
Summary: 5 Stars
July 27,2003 WWE Smackdown! has it's first ever ppv and man it was the bestMatch #1
Eddie Guerrero VS Chris Benoit U.S. Championship finals
This match was not that good but it was a great way to kick off the show. A few blown spots to name one when chris moved out of the way from eddie's frog splash. Funny when eddie hit chris with the belt when the reffre was knocked down and eddie layed down. Eddie wins with the frog splash and is the new United States Heavywheight champion. *** Stars
Match #2 Indecent Proposal
Jamie Noble VS Billy Gun
I loved what torrie was wearing Billy Kidman is a lucky man. Match starts quick when billy hit's his move with a swinging rock bottom type of manuever. Finish is gunn almost knocks torrie off the apron and noble rolls up billy for the 1 2 3 with pulling the tightsso jamie get's to " sleep" with torrie on Smackdown! *Star

APA Invitaional Barroom Brawl
Not an important match anyway, Bradshaw won when he hit funaki with the bar stool. *star

Man sable maybe 35 but she is still hot and so is steph. Sable won when the ref was down and A-Train ran into steph. ** Stars

Movie Review: July 2003 - Pepsi Arena - Denver, Colorado
Summary: 5 Stars
Great effort by the WWE, especially for their first Smackdown only PPV ever. It was probably the second or third best PPV of the year.
1. Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero (Finals of U.S. Title Tourney)
What a way to kick off the show. Best opening match of a PPV for 2003. This is a back and forth, technical classic between the two. Good pace throughout the match. There are a lot of near falls. The finish is exciting, but a bit disappointing. Rhyno makes an appearance in the match. One of the top ten matches of the year in my opinion. (9/10)
2. Jamie Noble vs. Billy Gunn (If Jamie wins he Gets a Night W/ Torrie)
I am a big fan of Billy and unfortunatley he is used to little. Jamie Noble was also very good, but he got fired just yesterday. Good match, but short. Noble took a couple of good shots in the match. (7.5/10)
3. Barroom Brawl
Very hardcore. It is pretty fun to watch. Participants inlcuded the APA, Conquistadors, Matt Hardy, Shannon Moore, Brother Love, Sean O'Haire, Funaki, Spanky, Basham Brothers, F.B.I., and many more. (8/10)
4. World's Greatest Tag Team vs. Billy Kidman & Rey Mysterio (WWE Tag Title)
Amazing match. One of the best straight up tag matches in a while. Very exciting, with a lot of near falls. The action is fast paced from the beginning. (9/10)
5. Sable vs. Stephanie McMahon
Actually, pretty good beef going into the match. Not a bad match. A-Train makes an appearance. (5/10)
6. Undertaker vs. John Cena
This was probably Cena's first real good performance in the WWE. Good match, with good beef. Good finish. (8/10)
7. Vince McMahon vs. Zack Gowen
It was nice of Vince to give Gowen a shot. I think everyone knew it wouldn't last long. Not a bad match. Vince bleeds, but it is so fake. (7.5/10)
8. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show vs. Brock Lesnar (WWE Title/Triple Threat/No DQ)
Great match. Amazing way to end the PPV. Very exciting with a lot of near falls. Good table bump by Show and good bleed job by Lesnar. Great match. The finish is kind of abrupt. (9/10)
Definately pick up this DVD, especially for the U.S. Title, Tag Title, and WWE Title.
Overall Rating: 9/10
Movie Review: Vengeance 2003 best PPV of 2003?
Summary: 5 Stars
Chris Beniot Vs. Eddie Guerrero - US Title Finals (*****)Totally loved the match I thought it was one of the best matches of the night - totally techniquall from Benoit with the funny segments in the match from Eddie. With many great spots. Could have been a Main-Event if it was for another title.
Billy Gunn vs. Jamie Noble - Indecent Proposal Match (***½)
A short match but very entertaining always loved billy gunn in the mr. ass kinda thing and I like Noble's wrestling to. Great match could have been longer though.
WG Tag-Team vs. Mysterio/Kidman - Tag Team Title Match (*****)
The third best match on the card after Angle vs Big Show vs Lesnar and Eddie vs Benoit. Much of the Mysterio thing and great match with many near falls that you thought it would be over.
Entertaining and hard-fought match - respect to the 4 guys.
APA Barroom Brawl Invitatational (***)
Very entertaining and it was good to see some mid-carders on a ppv again. Like O'Haire and stuff. Nice spots in the match like the really career threatning Shannon Moore stage dive summersault to the concrete (very nice spot).
Sable Vs. Stephanie McMahon - Catfight (***)
Nice to see both in the ring altough it could have been better. But we shouldn't forget that Steph isn't into really wrestling anymore and Sable is in WWE for man entertainment not for wrestling either. So that's why I give it 3 stars , for a good match from both women.
Undertaker vs. John Cena (****)
Very good match Taker is finally ''back'' after some injuries.
Good ending because of the rise of Taker ones again. 4 stars for these match because it should have last a little longer.
Vince McMahon vs. Zach Gowen (***½)
Vince is a real badass , I don't like both wrestlers but I should say they putted up an hell of a show.
Angle Vs. Brock(c) Vs. Big Show - 3 Way/No DQ WWE Title (*****)
Very, very good match. Big spots, great moments, great athleticism, great match!!! - This was from the last review and I have nothing to say to that he's right I would have give it 7 stars out of 5 ;).
Overall Great PPV certainly not a standard ppv.
One of the best of 2003 in my opinion.
