Movie Reviews of WWF: No Mercy 2001
Movie Review: The Best No Mercy Event
Summary: 5 Stars
This event continued the WWF's hot streak of PPV events in 2001 while at the same time the Invasion angle was starting to pick up to an eventual conclusion. The main feud here was between Alliance Leader & WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin against Kurt Angle but this time, the most popular member of the Alliance Rob Van Dam was added into the equation. Also, WWF superstars were at each other's throats for the WCW Championship as Chris Jericho attempted to win the "big one" against The Rock.
WCW Tag Team Champions Hardy Boyz vs The Hurricane & Lance Storm. This was an exciting opener as everyone put on a great performance with Storm & Hurricane actually working well as a team with Lita, Ivory & Molly all getting involved in this match at one point or another.
Kane vs Test. This was during Test's best run of his career as this was a good "big man vs big man" contest with Nick Patrick getting involved with his biased officiating that became a factor in the match but pay close attention to the aftermath to show that this type of officiationg doesn't always go unpunished.
Lingerie Match: Torrie Wilson vs Stacy Keibler. This was the obvious T&A segment of the night. Nothing more past that.
Ladder Match: Intercontinental Champion Christian vs Edge. This wasn't the best ladder match that they have done but it was still a strong showing between both men as they each dished out & took some sick bumps here with moments like Christian's reverse DDT off the ladder, Edge's "edge-o-matic" from the top of the ladder, Christian taking a fall that would have most men cringe & the loudest & highest "con-chair-to" that I have ever seen.
WWF Tag Team Champions Dudley Boyz vs Tajiri & Big Show. Due to Spike being injured at the hands of the Dudleyz, Tajiri was the replacement in what was a good & watchable tag team match but nothing really memorable past that.
The Undertaker vs Booker T. After the feud with DDP, Taker needed a strong performance & he got that here against Booker T as these two actually had a very good match with both men brawling & Taker working on Booker's shoulder with various submission holds at one point.
WCW Champion The Rock vs Chris Jericho. This was their first & in my opinion their best match together. Awesome wrestling match here as Jericho shows that he was main event material that we fans have bragged about while Rock showed the more serious wrestling side that he doesn't show all that much with the crowd actually being split right down the middle as both men were actually faces during this time. With a sick table spot & a cameo from Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, this was the match that stole the show as Jericho finally won the "Big One" in the end.
WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Kurt Angle vs Rob Van Dam. A great main event as all three men worked well together with their different styles all coming into play as Austin was the physical brawler, Angle was the technical wrestler while RVD had the most unorthodox style. The bigger story was the appearance of Vince McMahon & "who he really was cheering for" that even brought out Shane McMahon that lead to a hilarious moment on the announce table.
In the end, this was the best edition of the No Mercy series as there was really not a bad match on the card & the main events certainly delivered along with a great ladder match. Overall, this event is worth going out of your way to see for the wrestling quality.
Movie Review: WWF No Mercy was.....simply electrifying!
Summary: 5 Stars
The WWF left No Mercy....for weak matches! This PPV was my favorite of 2001 and maybe ever, this PPV had no weak matches they were either great or good man from the theme music to the stage to the pyro and finally the matches this was WWF at its best from top to bottm lets get the ball rollin' and review the matches....1) WCW Tag Team Titles The Hardyz w/Lita(c) vs Lance Storm w/Ivory & Hurricane w/Mighty Molly 9/10- This was a great way to kick off No Mercy, so many double team moves and great action theres no slowing down or any slow spots this match had a steady pace all the way through and just kicked ***!
2)Kane vs Test 8.5/10- This match exceeded what expectations I had for it, Kane and Test pur on a very well fought match Kane has got "hops" but dang that dude can jump and dropkick someone nicely, this match was just great the ref was stupid (Nick Patrick) but the cool spots made up for it.....
3) 1st Ever Lingerie Match Stacy Keibler vs Torrie Wilson 10/10- This was one of those matches where it doesn't matter about the wrestling this was flat out awsome reminds me why I was called a perv in Junior High, the only bad was that stupid ref with a woody but hek I would've had one to, great match Stacy and Torrie are both FINE! Nice final pin, grab that ***!!
4) WWF InterContinental Title Ladder Match Edge vs Christian(c) 10/10- This was by far the best singles ladder match ever invented so many different usages of the normal household tool, the ladder.....and something that no other ladder match really had and thats a totally reeking of awsomeness finish! Great match brothers set a new bar in bro vs bro matches alot better than Hardy vs Hardy at Vengeance!!!
5)WWF Tag Tean titles Dudley Boyz(c) vs Big Show & Tajiri 8/10- This match was the second tag match of the night the first was a hard one to follow up too, but this match was also good, lots of spots and cool moves Rhyno was in there for no reason but to knock out Show which was pointless because Big Show looked like he got slapped in the stomach more than a "GORE" match was good with a nice ending.....
6) Undertaker vs Booker T 9/10-This match was a good wrestling match some nice moves by both men but could've had more, but still all in all good match with a predictable ending not very original but the match was still a good one!
7) WCW Title The Rock(c) vs Chris Jericho 10/10-This was the show stealer, the best damn WCW title match ever! People who said Rock cannot wrestler and either can Jericho were way off this showed the great chemistry The Rock and Jericho had with no boring moments this was great from top to bottom arguably Rock and Jericho's best match of their careers atleast one fo them, Jericho takes a sick Rockbottom through a table as Jericho reverses the People's Elbow with the Walls! This match just leaves you wanting more, the ending is great and Rock and Jericho put on a CLASSIC!
WWF Title Triple Threat No DQ match Stone Cold Steve Austin(c) vs Rob Van dam(HC Champ) vs Kurt Angle 9.5/10- This match had awsome spots and it really was a great main event, all of the men gave it all they had but I wanted RVD or Angle to win, unlike other triple threats this one was great and deserved to have RVD in it as he showcased what he had, just flat out great.....
Even though this DVD had no booklet or extras the event made up for it and it was great, I have to admit the cover is stupid but who cares, awsome PPV best quality matches of 2001 and just flat out a showcase of the legends to come!
Movie Review: There will be No Mercy in St. Louis.....
Summary: 5 Stars
No Mercy 2001 had so many great matches that it wasn't easy to give this less than 5 stars. The main event was worth the price of this alone. But the card was solid enough to push this to a five star rating.
WCW Tag Team Championship Match
The Hardy Boyz [Champions] vs. Lance Storm and The Hurricane:
This was a high flying, fast paced match. Both teams were accompanied by ladies as the Hardy Boyz had Lita and Lance Storm and The Hurricane had Molly Holly and Ivory. The Hardy Boyz win after Jeff uses the Swanton Bomb. 8/10
Kane vs. Test:
This was a big man match, as both men used giant kicks to the face all throughout the match. Test tries to use a chair but Kane kicked it right in his face. The WCW ref distracts Kane long enough for Test to get the win. 7/10 [After the match the ref gets his a** handed to him by Kane]
First Ever Lingere Match
Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Keibler:
This was for the male viewers, and being one myself i didn't complain. I will say that the wrestling was absolutely horrid though. 3/10 [Just for the outfits]
Intercontinental Championship
Ladder Match
Christian [Champion] vs. Edge:
This ladder match still stands as one of the best one on one ladder matches to this day. Too many spots to name, but one painful one was when Edge jumped off a ladder on top of Christian who was on a ladder. Numerous chair shots by both men but Edge wins after giving the Con-Chair-To to Christian. 10/10
WWF Tag Team Championship Match
Dudley Boyz [Champions] vs. Big Show and Tajiri
The Dudley Boyz main target during this match was Tajiri as Big Show kicked their a**es everytime he was tagged in. Tajiri accidently hit the ref with the green mist. Then Rhyno comes down and gores Big Show. The Dudley Boyz win after giving Tajiri the 3D. 8/10 Good match
Undertaker vs. Booker T:
Not much to say, its just like their match at Judgment Day 2004 but the excitment from the crowd was much better. Back and forth action and the Undertaker wins with the Last Ride Powerbomb. 7/10, [okay match, just a card filler my opinion.]
WCW World Heavyweight Championship Match
The Rock [Champion] vs. Chris Jericho:
This was the best of the three times these two have gone one on one with each other. Jericho gets Rock Bottomed through a table during the match, then Stephanie comes down and gets Rock Bottomed as well. Jericho wins thanks to a steel chair. 9/10 excitment all the way through.
WWF World Heavyweight Championship
No Disqualification
Stone Cold Steve Austin [Champion] vs. Kurt Angle and RVD:
Three unique stlyes met in a triple threat match for Austins championship. The action was fast paced and all three men broke up three counts at various times. Not much weapons were used but Angle did backdrop Austin on an announce table but the table didn't break.
Mr. McMahon came to the ring and used a chair on Austin. Shane McMahon made his presence known and attacked Vince. Austin wins after giving the stunner to Rob Van Dam. 10/10 [Greatest main event in the history of No Mercy.]
No Mercy 2001 was one of the best ppvs that year had near its end. To think that now we have to deal with guys like Heidenreich and stupid car crashes. [Just watch No Mercy 2004 to see what I mean]

Rating: 5.5/10

Rating: 6/10

Yet the best match of the night wasn't the main event, the ladder match is the best match of the night.Better than to remove the WWF Tag Team Championship match coz it sucks.2nd best PPV of 2001 after WrestleMania followed by No Way Out.
Buy this DVD worth of money
Movie Review: Great No Mercy
Summary: 5 Stars
No Mercy 2001 is one of the best ppvs in the ivasion saga, if not the best. This is a great event. Thanks for reading and please rate.
WCW Tag Team Championship
The Hardyz vs. Lance Storm and Hurricane Helms
This was a good choice for the opening match. The crowd got in to this one. Nice highflying and fast-paced moves. Match Rating:3.75/5
Kane vs. Test
This was an o.k. big man match. It was nothing spectacular, but not a trainwreck. Nice pace throughout and nick patrick gets beat up after the match, which adds to the rating. Match Rating:3.5/5
Ladder Match For The Intercontinental Championship
Christian vs. Edge
This match was spectacular! This had great weapon use, like at the end where edge gave christian a conchairto on the top of the ladder. Lots of great high spots in this one and nice wrestling moves. Some highlight real spots on the ladder in this one! Match Rating:5/5
WWF Tag Team Championship
The Dudleyz vs. Tajiri and The Big Show
This was to quiet the crowd down. The match itself got a little boring but it was watchable. Nice 3D on tajiri at the end. Match Rating:3/5
WCW Championship
The Rock vs. Chris Jericho
The storyline coming in to this one was that jericho had never won a major title, which gave this match alot of hype. In my opinion this is there best encounter. It had nice submissions, counters, and even the rock gave jericho a rock bottom through the anounce table. The crowd's cheers were split between the two which made this quite interesting. Jericho wins the championship in a great match. Match Rating:5/5
No D.Q. Triple Threat Match For The WWF Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle vs. RVD
Once again this match was interesting because since stone cold and rvd were both on the alliance, would rvd be with or against stone cold. We found out that answer early! This match was really good. Austin and Angle put solid moves into this match, while rvd made it a highlight real. Mr. McMahon and Shane McMahon fight in this match and Mr. McMahon kicks his but. Stone Cold retains the belt after a sick stunner on rvd. A solid match to close out a great show! Match Rating:5/5
I highly recommend this one. Great No Mercy!
