Movie Reviews of WWF: Summer Slam 2001Movie Review: Finnaly The Rock Is WCW Champion Summary: 5 Stars
Overall, this has been one of the best summerslams to date. This was during the invasion saga and this was one of the best ppvs during that. Phenominal world title matches and a breathtaking ladder match. Thanks for reading!
Intercontenintal Championship
Lance Storm vs. Edge
Edge was becoming a very established singles wrestler during this time and it showed right here. A standout match between two great canadian wrestlers. A very solid display of wrestling and some great reversals and counters. Lance storm refered to this as his best wwe/f match and he really wasn't kidding. A good way to open up a show. Match Rating:4.25/5
Dudley Boyz and Test vs. APA and Spike Dudley
Overall, this was a pretty entertaining 6 man tag match. Some good double team exchanges by the dudleys and the apa. A nice moment when spike goes through a table. Overall, this was a good, fun followup to the opener. Match Rating:3.5/5
Light Heavyweight Champion Tajiri vs. Cruiserweight Champion X-Pac
Once again, a very fast paced, entertaining matchup. Some great exchanges from x-pac and tajiri, both men really brought their a-game to the table. Some pretty vicious reversals and kicks in this one as well. While this was a little to short, the match had a nice feel to it and they gave a really good effort. Match Rating:3.75/5
Chris Jericho vs. Rhyno
There was a couple of storylines revolving around this matchup, one including the jericho/stephanie fued and the other was the fact that jericho couldn't defeat rhyno. Anyway, past that, some good standout spots, one including a huge mid-air gore on jericho when he came off the top rope. Some good physicality and intensity in this one to. In the end, jericho finnaly defeated rhyno. Another solid match. Match Rating:4/5
Ladder Match for the WWE Hardcore Championship
Jeff Hardy vs. RVD
WOW! A phenominal ladder match and for me this topped their bout at invasion without question. This ladder match was full of highlight real moments. Lots of risks taken in this match that resulted in tons of hit and misses. Besides some screwups in this one, the match was just so fun to watch and so entertaining. They looked like they were killing each other out there, using the ladder in everyway possible. Some nice dropkicks and dives with the ladder and a huge suplex off the top of one. In the end, rvd once again got the better of jeff hardy in a great ladder contest. Match Rating:4.75/5
Steel Cage Match for the WWE and WCW Tag Team Championships
WCW Tag Team Champions Undertaker and Kane vs. WWE Tag Team Champions DDP and Kanyon
Overall, i was dissapointed with this one. Kanyon and page were trying to avoid the brothers of destruction in every way throughout the match. Taker and kane really dominated the matchup, throwing both ddp and kanyon into the cage numerous times, with page and kanyon only getting a short run of offense toward the end. Kanyon eventually left ddp to defend for himself and that made matters worse. The brothers of destruction capitalized on their dominance and unified the titles. Match Rating:3.5/5
WWE Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle
In my unforgiven '01 review, i said that this match wasn't that much better than at unfogiven, but in a way this does top it. This was just full of intensity right from the start and it started as a huge brawl at the begenning. Austin and angle went at each other in every way possible, with each men taking lots of punishment, especially angle. Angle got blooded early in this one from some vicious ringpost shots, but still continued to fight stone cold. Numerous brawls inside the ring and outside the ring. The real highlight of this match is angle kicking out of three stone cold stunners, which really amazed me. In the end, austin knew he couldn't beat angle so he took out 4 or 5 refs and just as angle was about to win it, a wcw ref, nick patrick disqualified austin. Overall, this was a very physical matchup that really showed off stone cold's heel character and angle's determination. A nice moment after the match when angle puts patrick in the ankle lock. Match Rating:4.75/5
WCW Championship
Booker T vs. The Rock
Once again, a very entergetic and intense match. Some nice action on the outside and a nice spot where bradshaw comes in and stops shane's interference by giving him a huge clothesline, which also led to shane getting a rock bottom. Some nice exchanges in this one, including each man getting their rock bottom/bookend finishers on each other. Overall, this match was very entertaining and was a good return match for the rock as he won the wcw belt from booker and proved that he is the only people's champion. A good main event to close a fantastic summerslam! Match Rating:4.5/5
Overall, a very good summerslam that i highly recommend to wrestling fans. A great wwe title match, a stunning ladder match, an entergetic main event, and every other match on the card was very solid.
