Movie Review: summerslam 2001 is a 5 star ppv
Summary: 5 Stars
80-76%-perfect
75-71%-awsome
70-66-good
65-61%-poor
60-56%-awful
1. Edge vs. Lance Storm for the ITC title- This was an average match. I liked there choice for this as there opener. I really started to like the in ring skills by both of these men and this was a good way to start off the ppv. Nothing special just some good soild wrestling. Winner and new wwe ITC champ Edge. Match Rating 7/10.
2 The dudleys and test vs. APA and spike dudley- This was your average filler but it turned out to be quite exciting. It was about 5 minutes long which i thought was the right choice for time length. There was non stop action and a really seewt spot were spike got pushed off the top rope through a table. Also i had not seen as sick of chair shot sience the michales tker hell in a cell match when shane McMahon hit bradshaw with a chair. Awsome stuff. Winners the dudleys and test. Match Rating 6.5/10.
3. X-Pac vs. Tajiri for the undisputed cruiserwieght title- This was also a good match. This was back when the wwe even cared a little bit about the cruiserwieghts now they jsut dont care at all. These guys put on a really good match and no slow spots that even kept me interested in the match and i would ask the wwe if theyt had more matches like these. Winner and undisputed cruiserwieght champ X-Pac. Match Rating 7/10.
4. Rhyno vs. Y2J- This was a good match as well with a storyline. It was just like the dge match at the same pace but maybe a little better. There were some nice spots one was when jerico came off the top rope and was gored in mid air by rhyno got to see to believe. This was just some good wrestling with intensity. not much else to say. Winner Y2J. Match rating 7.5/10.
5. Jeff Hardy vs. Rvd for the hardcore title in a ladder match- This was the first huge match of the night. This match was off the chain. I wish they would have used some more wepons because it was a hardcore match as well but that did not make the match any worse. Nice 20 minute match with alot of risks taken. One of my favorite parts of the match was the suplex off the top of the ladder. Realy good stuff by bith guys. Winner and new wwe hardcore champion RVD. Match Rating 9/10.
6. DDp and kanyon vs. taker and kane for the tag team titles in a steel cage match- This was not what you would call a good steel cage match. This was basically kane and taker dominating most of the match. It would have been better but there was to much one sided offense for me to enjoy. It was not bloddy at all and it was just boring for the most part. Still watchable but not that good. Winners and new tag team champs taker and kane. Match Rating 6.5/10.
7. Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold for the wwe title- This was match of the night in my opinion. This was an awsome storyline and the match lived up to its hype. It started out with great intensity and contiued throughtout the match. Lots of blood in this match. Tons of =false finishes in this match which you wont want to miss. Also angles hits his famous moonsault in this match and it was a thing of beauty. All of the false finishes are great. The ending sucks but it does not hurt the match to much. Winner kurt angle by DQ but still wwe champ stone cold. Match Rating 9/10.
8. The rock vs. Booker T for the WCW title- This was a great way to close off the ppv. It was great to see the rock make his return. I think this match played out the way it was supposed to. Some good action by shane McMahon and non stop all the way through. I thought that booker might accualty retain. Also a nicxe rvenge spot were the apa layed out shane mcmahon. Winner and new wcw champ The rock. Match Rating 8.5/10.
Well that raps up another. I would give summersalm 2001 a grade of 61/80 which is a 76% which means this is a perfect ppv. I thnk that is a good grade. If you can tell me if my review was helpful or not i would appericate that. Thnks for your time.
Movie Review: The Invasion fued ended the Summer with a Bang!
Summary: 5 Stars
SummerSlam continued the Invasion fued between the WWE and the Alliance. SummerSlam was probably the second best ppv of the year with Wrestlemania being first. A great ppv to pick up sometime.
1. Intercontinental Title
Edge vs. Lance Storm
A very good competitive match up. Storm and Edge blended in very well with each other and both men showed us how talented they really are. Christian would interfere but it was only to set up his fued with Edge for the upcoming weeks ahead. A great opening contest. 4.5/5
2. Six Man Tag Match
APA & Spike Dudley vs. The Dudleyz & Test
Very good follow up to the IC title match. APA pulled off good double teamed moves with some good impact shots. Good hard impacts moves in this one. Spike would get sent through a table.Shane would come out & screw the APA but would get his later in the ppv. Very good six man tag. 4/5
3. Title for Title
Light Heavyweight Champion Tajiri vs. Cruiserweight Champion X-Pac
This was a fun and exciting match to watch. The match was very fast paced & had some nice reversals to take place. A lot of viscious kicks too in this one. A little high risk as well. The cruiserweights delivered here. 4.25/5
4. Rhyno with Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley vs. Chris Jericho
Pretty agressive match. Rhyno would gore Jericho out of mid-air on the outside which would allow Rhyno to work on the injured ribs of Jericho. Rhyno was able to lock on very good submissions on Jericho & even using the Walls of Jericho on Jericho himself. The match had a good comedic spot with Jericho kissing Stephanie. Jericho & Rhyno had a good match here. 4.5/5
5. Ladder Match for the Hardcore Title
Jeff Hardy vs. RVD
This is another match that delivered. The ladder was used at perfect times when it needed to be used. Both Hardy & Van Dam pulled off some good and unique moves with the ladders. Hardy would get suplexed off the top of the ladder and Van Dam would get sunset flipped off the ladder. I have to say this match didn't lived up their match they had at Invasion but it was still good nevertheless. 4.5/5
6. Steel Cage Match for the WWE & WCW Tag Team Titles
DDP & Kanyon vs. Undertaker and Kane with Sara
I have to say the fued between Taker & DDP was the most personal during the Invasion angle. I also have to say that this match was the weakest on the card. The match didn't suck but it was just all Taker and Kane. DDP and Kanyon got in some shots here and there but nothing that was notable. DDP would get left all alone with Kane & Taker inside the cage and then Taker and Kane would just beat on DDP. Just pure dominance from the Brothers of Destruction. 3.5/5
7. WWE Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle
WOW, what a great match. This could have been the best match throughout the Invasion fued. The match would start out as a brawl on the outside before it would start in the ring. This too was an agressive and physical match. Angle would bleed a lot here and also take a lot of shots to the ring post on the outside. Very good action took place on the outside too. Some good suplexes and counters. Both men brought their best in this match. The dqs at the end didn't hurt the match either, some will say they did but to me they didn't. Just a fantastic match. 5/5
8. WCW Championship
The Rock vs. Booker T with Shane McMahon
This match was very high energetic. Phenomenal action in the ring and on the outside. Booker t would get the advantage on the outside and soon take control of the match. Shane would interfere but would soon take a hard clothesline from hell from Bradshaw and the get rock bottomed on the floor by the Rock. Some good near falls and a great title match. Very good main event. 4.75/5
SummerSlam 2001 was a great event. I highly recommend on this one.
Movie Review: WWE Summerslam 2001: One Word=Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
WWE Summerslam 2001: One Word=Excellent
WWF Intercontinental Championship
Lance Storm (c) vs. Edge
I rarely enjoy the opening matches of wwe pay per views because nine times out of ten they are pretty boring. Although this match was fast paced and solid that quickly grasped my attention. Edge and Storm matched up really well with each other a lot of great manoeuvres displayed by both of them making it really hard to determine the victor. Christian's interference did not discredit the match at all I though it placed more excitement into it making Edge's victory more greatly deserved. 8.5/10
Spike Dudley & the APA vs. Test & the Dudley Boyz
A brutal and solid six man tag team match resulting in Spike being brutally double teamed throughout the match. APA did their best although Shane O Mac comes to Test's aid and saves the day for the alliance. Good Match 6.5/10
Light-Heavyweight championship vs. Crusierweight Championship
X-Pac vs. Tajiri
A great high flying match between these two in which I did not expect. X-pac to me is an average wrestler although here in this match he really impressed me with picking up the win. 8/10
Rhyno vs. Chris Jericho
A very solid match between these two that was better than expected. Rhyno gores Jericho as he was flying in mid-air on the outside. Steph gets lip-locked off the apron that leads to Rhyno tapping the walls of Jericho. 7.5/10
WWF Hardcore Title Ladder Match
Rob Van Dam vs. Jeff Hardy (c)
Two great hardcore competitors meet in the first ever ladder match for the WWF hardcore championship. Ladders were used in a variety of fashions such as Suplex of the ladder, power bombs of the ladder and leg drops on ladder etc. Fantastic match! in which where the crowd did not care who won because they are both fan favourites. 10/10
Cage Match for WWF tag team championships vs. WCW tag Team championships
Kane & Undertaker vs. DDP & Kanyon
Not a great technical match although a hell of an ass-kicking of a match. Undertaker & Kane dominated the entire match and then finally let Kanyon go and the two brothers beat the absolute crap out of DDP. A match to only see WCW gets the hell beaten out of them which is still entertaining enough. 7/10
WWF Championship Match
Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (c)
This wasn't a wrestling match it was more like a street fight. Angle gets all bloody from getting thrown into the ring post about 8 times. Austin receives a couple of suplexes on the floor and Angle gets about 4 stunners throughout the match and still kicks out. Also about four referees get taken out by Austin and then finally he gets dq by WCW ref who gets the ankle lock by Angle. 10/10 One of Stone cold's best match and Austin does not get angle slammed off the top rope which some reviewer said in their review before.
WCW Championship Match
The Rock vs. Booker T (c)
Great match between Booker T and the Rock in which where we see the Rock bottom vs. the bookend. Shane O Mac appears gets clotheslined by Bradshaw and then rockbottomed on the floor by The Rock. I love the ending where Booker T had everything going for him and then suddenly ROCKBOTTEM!!!! Great match although Austin vs. Angle should've been the main event. 9/10
66.5/80 which is 80% making Summerslam 2001 in my opinion was just as great as WM17 every match delivered what it needed to do which makes this DVD essential to any wwe DVD collector. Thankyou for reading my review on WWF Summerslam 2001.
Movie Review: The feud of ECW/WCW vs. WWF continues!
Summary: 5 Stars
Summerslam 2001 will be known as the great event where several championships were unified, an awsome hardcore ladder match took place, and two world champinships were decided. 2001 was the hottest year so far of the WWE in the new millenium, and this ppv helps prove it.
Intercontinental championship match, Lance Storm vs Edge: This was a good opener, both men show they have chemistry together. I liked it when they had good wrestling even in the opening matches. Edge wins. 8.5/10
Spike Dudley and the APA vs. Test and the Dudley Boyz: Nice six man tag team match. Spike even goes through a table on the outside. Shane McMahon makes an appearance with a steel chair on Bradshaw. WCW guys win. Good match and I miss the APA. 8/10
Rhyno vs. Chris Jericho: Great match between these two. Rhyno gores Jericho on the outside. Jericho was really great back then and Rhyno wasn't too bad either. Rhyno taps out to the Walls of Jericho! 8/10
WWF tag team championships vs. WCW tag Team championships
Kane and Undertaker vs. DDP and Kanyon, cage match: Its rumored that Kane and Undertaker will team up again against the two new weirdos at WM 21. Not that great of a cage match, but the WCW guys really get the crap kicked out of them. As you can tell, the WWF guys won. 7/10
WWf Hardcore Ladder Match, Rob Van Dam vs. Jeff Hardy: Two similar daredevils meet in a match of the year candidate of 2001. Ladders were climbed, and Jeff powerbombed RVD off the ladder! Great Match! 10/10 [Rvd's new DVd has the match with him vs. Jeff one month earlier than this ppv at Invasion. That was great too.
Light-Heavyweight championship vs. Crusierweight Championship
Tajiri vs. X-Pac: Nice high flying match between these two. I am not a very big fan of X-Pac, but even he managed to keep me interested in this match. X-Pac wins to unify the championships. 8/10
WCW Championship Match - The Rock vs. Booker T: Great Match, the Book end meets the Rock bottom. Shane McMahon and Bradshaw both make appearances in this match as well. Rock wins with the Rock bottom. 9/10
WWf championship match
Stone Cold vs. Kurt Angle: At WM 21 it is rumored that Kurt will face HBK, plus Stone Cold is expected to return then too. As for the match, wow, great match. Angle gets all bloody and Stone cold gets angle-slammed off the top rope.
At least 4 referees were taken out by Angle or Austin, and Angle even gave the Ankle-lock to a WCW referee after the match. Austin wins after getting DQ'd and keeps his title. 10/10
Great ppv, such a shame to see just how far WWE has fallen where it once used to be. By the way, it is really hard to find this on DVd, it was for me.
Movie Review: August 2001 Compaq Center San Jose, California
Summary: 5 Stars
Great PPV put together by the WWF. This PPV occurred about two months into the fued between the WWF and the Alliance.
1. Edge vs. Lance Storm (Intercontinental Title)
What a way to kick of the show. These two went at it from the get go. The action is very fast paced from the beginning right up to the very end. Many close falls in the match. It is too bad Lance Storm never got the respect he deserved in the WWE. (9/10)
2. Spike Dudley & APA vs. Tazz & The Dudley's
Another very exciting match. Spike takes a couple of nasty bumps in this match. Surprsing appearance from Shane McMahon. (8/10)
3. X-Pac vs. Tajiri (WWF Lightweight Title & WCW Cruiserweight Title)
Good match between two top notch cruiserweights. There are currently many rumors that X-Pac may return to the WWE. Entertaining match. (8.5/10)
4. Chris Jericho vs. Rhyno w/Stephanie McMahon
Decent match. It was not as good as I thought it would be. The two put on a good show nonetheless. Good beef between Jericho and Stephanie. (7.5/10)
5. Jeff Hardy vs. Rob Van Dam (WWF Hardcore Title/Ladder Match)
Wow!! Great match. This was at the time when the fans were cheering for both of these guys even thought RVD was in the Alliance. It is too bad Hardy is not in the WWE and RVD doesn't get put in better storylines. Great match. The two competitors were very innovative in the use of the ladders. The second best match of the night. (9.5/10)
6. Undertaker & Kane vs. DDP & Kanyon (WWF & WCW Tag Titles/Cage Match)
Very disappointing match. I was expecting a lot more. Basically it was a set up to get DDP inside the cage alone with Kane and Taker. (6/10)
7. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle (WWF Title)
Unbelievable match. These two put their hearts into this match. Very emotional match. You almost feel like you are there. Great match, but be aware: terrible ending. It may have been best match of the year if not for the ending. I would have given it a 10 if the ending was better. (9.5/10)
8. The Rock vs. Booker T (WCW Championship)
This was The Rock's return to WWF PPV's. These two had good beef going into this match, but the wrestling quality wasn't that great for a Summerslam main event. Good presence by Shane McMahon. Surprise appearance by the APA. (7.5/10)
I definately recommend picking up this DVD. Very exciting PPV. Get this for the ladder match and Austin/Angle match.
Overall Rating: 9/10
