PAPER VIEW IS EXCELLENT BUT MUPHINATOR IS A **** BAG AND A ******* *******Movie Review: A Good Royal Rumble Overall....
Summary: 4 Stars
I looked foward to the Tag Title match to kick things off, I figure the ladder match would be solid, and the WWE Championship should also be very good. Plus the rumble match should be very good as it usually is, anything can happen during those sixty minutes.
WWE Tag Team Championships:
Edge and Christian(c)vs. The Dudley Boyz
Another match between the two in their feud, Edge and Christian attacked the Dudley's and beat them up and gave them both concussions. Dudley's did a okay job selling it, but it did not hurt the match to much. Both teams were solid which made the match a nice opener for the rumble it was given about 10 minutes probably should have been given alittle more time but due to the injuries that the Dudley's were selling it can be excused. Overall a good opener to get the crowd pumped up, new tag champions. Match Length:10 minutes
Winner: The Dudley Boyz
Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match:
Chris Benoit(c) vs. Chris Jericho
These two had been feuding for awhile over the championship, you know these two will give you a solid match and they most certainly did. Awesome match between the two, match of the year candidate, but definately match of the night as both men gave you everything they had. Jericho nailing Benoit with a chair shot as he tried a suicide dive was a huge surprise and highlight. Great match between two great performers, Jericho wins back the Championship. Match Length: 18 Minutes
Winner: Chris Jericho
Women's Championship:
Ivory(c)vs. Chyna
Did not expect much,but this was a waste of time sure it kept the storyline going between Chyna and Ivory for there Mania showdown. Otherwise it was a waste of time, luckly the rest of the card picks up the ball after this failure. Chyna reinjuries her neck allowing Ivory to take advantage and pin her. Match Length: Under 4 minutes
Winner: Ivory
WWE Championship Match:
Kurt Angle(c)w/Trish Stratus vs. HHH w/Stephanie Mcmahon
Very good match between these two that was expected,it also helped plant the seeds for the feud for Austin and HHH as well as the feud between Stephanie and Trish. It definately did that as Stonecold came in and cost HHH his chance at the title just like HHH did to Austin a couple of weeks prior to it. Anyway both HHH and Angle went at it in a good contest. Match Length: 24 minutes
Winner: Kurt Angle
Royal Rumble Match:
Very good Rumble match, Kane was awesomely dominate and I also think he should have ended up winning the whole thing as he worked hard and really should have been rewarded for his effort. Kane lasted over fifty minutes, Drew Carrey also ended up in the match but he quickly decided to get out of there after he was nearly chokeslammed. Honky Tonk Man returns for the rumble and sings for the crowd but Kane smashed him with the guitar and eliminated him. Haku returned to the WWE also, Matt and Jeff Hardy fought agaist each other for a short time before they eliminated each other. Rock lasted close to 40 minutes, Bradshaw lasted quite awhile. HHH came down and busted up Austin setting up there match at No Way Out. Big Show chokeslams the Rock through the announce table after Rock eliminated him.
Overall Thoughts: Very good PPV, Tag Match was good, Ladder match was awesome, WWE Title Match was also very good with a nice royal rumble match makes this a nice solid PPV to kick off 2001.
Movie Review: Another Royal Rumble 2001 Review
Summary: 4 Stars
A pretty good Royal Rumble on a decent DVD.Matches: (All matches ratings out of 5 stars)
0. Lo Down Vs. Kaientai - Extra DVD match - The winner of this match gets to pick one of their wrestlers to enter the Royal Rumble. Pretty cool that this was included. A really short match though. Kaientai, the Rodney Dangerfield of the WWF, doesn't get any respect for their skills. Same for D'Lo. Only lasts 2 minutes, but what's there is good. **
1. Edge & Christian Vs. The Dudely Boys - Tag Team Championship - An average match. Both Dudleys had suffered major concussions at the hands of Edge & Christian (which they looked a bit silly selling) and sought revenge. No lumber used here. I think I'm spoiled at the death defying matches of these tag-teams, but it's still a good match! ***
2. Chris Benoit Vs. Chris Jericho - IC Championship Ladder Match - Both Canadians have been feuding off and on for a year and decided to finish it in a dangerous ladder match. This is a Match of the year contender as both men take ridiculous risks to win the belt including the "Walls of Jericho" on the top of the ladder! Benoit dives out of the ring like a bullet only to fly right into one of the most vicous chairshots I've ever seen/heard! Lots of drama here much like the Michaels/Ramon ladder matches of the mid-90's. A very exciting match! *****
3. Ivory Vs. Chyna - Womens Championship - DUD.. Ivory's a little entertaining but that's about it. 1/2*
4. Kurt Angle Vs. Triple-H - WWF Championship - Champion Kurt Angle had Trish Stratus in her corner and HHH had Stephanie McMahon. Both were big heels (bad guys) but I think the crowd was behind Angle in this one. I firmly think this could have been an amazing match except for 2 problems.. 1) The ending [is bad], I don't want to give it away but it [is bad].. 2) The crowd was *Never* into the match, except for when the 2 girls went at it in a catfight. They were basically sitting on their hands for the entire match. Nonetheless Angle and Triple-H put on a great match! In a Ric Flair-like match, Triple-H unmercifully worked on Angle's leg for most of the match. Angle came back though and both men put on a display of incredible moves such as the Razor's Edge, an Angle-sault, and an arm-drag off the top rope. All in all a good match that could have been great! ****
5. Pretty good Rumble! The Winner of this Rumble will take on the World Champion at Wrestlemania 2001. Some of the main contender's include The Rock, Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Rikishi, and Kane. Speaking of Kane, the big-red machine last over 55 minutes in the ring! Also The Big Show makes his comeback assaulting The Rock, Austin is busted open on the way to the ring, and for awhile it's a hardcore Rumble as all hardcore contenders miraculously are in the ring at the same time. Plus there's 2 surprise wrestlers and 1 surprise celebrity (don't worry, it's not Arquette).. A really great ending ends a really great Royal Rumble. ****
DVD Extras: Nothing much here, only one audio track and a bunch of retrospects of the matches and interviews with the wrestlers. One neat thing is the addition of the Lo Down vs. Kaientai Heat match. Off course as in all WWF DVD's, great audio and video quality.
A very solid DVD, I recommend renting it first before buying, (I'm a cheapskate) but overall a very good card!

Hello and welcome to my review on Royal Rumble 2001. I use a grading system and each match receives a grade. Then to determine how the show ranks the total of the matches scores are divided by the number of matches giving the grade and a comment about whether you should buy it or not. The grading system is as follows.
Grading E- =0-6.66%
E =6.66-13.32%
E+ =13.32-19.98%
D- =19.98-26.64%
D =26.64-33.30%
D+ =33.30-39.96%
C- =39.96-46.62%
C =46.62-53.28%
C+ =53.28-59.94%
B- =59.94-66.60%
B =66.60-73.26%
B+ =73.26-79.92%
A- =79.92-86.58%
A =86.58-93.24%
A+ = 93.24-100%
Match One-Tag Team Titles-Edge & Christian(C)Vs The Dudley Boyz-This was a good choice for the opener as it was exciting and it was two great teams wrestling each other. The finish was great as long with most of this match. What an excellent way to start off this show. My rating 6.58/10.
Match Two-Ladder Match-Intercontinental Championship-Chris Benoit(C)Vs Y2J-This was a good solid ladder match with both men putting their bodies on the line to gain the Intercontinental Title. I hope these two keep feuding for a long part of this year as they work awesome together and they are both really great wrestlers who deserve the major title around their waist. My rating 7.78/10.
Match Three-Womens Title-Ivory(C)Vs Chyna-This match was a basic womens match and what I expected from Chyna. There was some powerful moves used and some technical stuff. You can't miss the ending of this its very supprising. My rating 4.52/10.
Match Four-WWE Title Match-Kurt Angle(C)Vs HHH-This match was spectacular. It had lots of surprises,risks and a great ending which leads to something in the next match which is awesome. These two men are great wrestlers and they both deserve this match up the top of this card. Hopefully these two keep feuding and it goes strong and finishes strong. My rating 7.96/10.
Match Five-Main Event-Royal Rumble Match-This Rumble had a few good surprise entries such as Drew Carey,Honky Tonk Man and Haku. There was lots of action as well as some hardcore action early on as well. The Hardyz teamed up and worked together and so did Kane and his brother The Undertaker. Austin got busted open before he had even entered the ring. The ending was great and this was one of the most emotional Rumbles ever. My rating 8.42/10.
Overall this was a good show with the score being 35.26/50 which is equal to 70.52%. 70.52% in a grading in my grade system is a B. This show was very good with all good matches except the womens match but that is still very much worth a watch.
