Movie Reviews of WWF: Summer Slam 2001
Movie Review: WWE SummerSlam 2001
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my 1st review ever. I used the star rating for my matches if you want to know. Now lets get on to SummerSlam 2001
1. Intercontinental Championship
Lance Storm(c) vs Edge
The match is fine for what it is. Nothing really that jumps off the card but its worth a one time watch. There is interference and fun in the end
(***)
2. 6 Man Tag Team Match
Spike & APA vs Test & The Dudleys
Just a normal short and fast paced tag match. Again worth a one time watch and watch for a huge chair shot at the end of the match.
(**1/4)
3. Light-heavyweight vs Cruiser-weight Title Unification
X-Pac(c) vs Tajiri(c)
Nice action here but not alot of highflying but still good. For the 3rd match in a row there is interference which i am not a big fan of unless it is properly used but it doesnt get in the way of what was a decent match
(***)
4. Rhyno vs Chris Jericho
This match had a nice story behind it with the gore through the titantron. Always loved that. Anyway this match has some really good spots and a really good ending
(***1/4)
5. Hardcore Title Ladder Match
RVD vs Jeff Hardy(c)
RVD was just brought into the WWF via ECW and brought excitement even though he was supposed to be the heel. This match was fun but there are alot of botches and isnt one of the top ladder matches that we were used to seeing in the beginning of 2001
(***1/2)
6. Tag Team Title Cage Match
Kane & Undertaker(c) vs DDP & Kanyon(c)
They main feud here was Undertaker and DDP with DDP stalking Sara( The Undertaker's Wife). The match itself felt more like a squash and made DDP look very bad here and would never recover. But not surprising since Undertaker and Kane werent very good in 2001.
(*1/4)
7. WWF Championship
Kurt Angle vs Stone Cold(c)
Stone Cold and Angle were white hot around this time even though nobody liked Austin as a heel. This match was one of the top matches of 2001. The beating that Angle takes in this match makes him look like a star, and Austins facial expression help this match tremendously. Once again there is a shady finish but this is a damn near perfect match
(****3/4)
8. WCW CHampionship
The Rock vs Booker-T(c)
The Rock just came back a month earlier from making his movie and the fans were loving him. Booker was going to be just thrown to him since WCW guys werent really made as much of a threat. This match is average for a main event. especially in 2001.
(***1/4)
Alright PPV, Bad Booking brings this down alot. WWF Title match is a must see

Movie Review: Great PPV, and the bodies hit the floor!
Summary: 4 Stars
Opening Match, Intercontinental Title: Lance Storm v EdgeGreat opener. Edge wins the bout after an Edge-o-cution to capture the Intercontinental Championship. ****1/4
Six-Man Tag Team Match:
APA & Spike Dudley v Dudley Boyz & Test.
Shane McMahon interfered and hit Bradshaw with a chair, giving Test and the Dudleyz the victory. Not bad, not bad. **3/4
WCW Cruiserweight + WWF Light-Heavyweight Title Unification Match:
Tajiri v X-Pac
A good little cruiserweight match here, but not great. X-Pac won after interference from Albert. ***
Rhyno v Chris Jericho
Y2J won after he made Rhyno tap out to the Walls of Jericho. ***1/4
Ladder Match, Hardcore Title: Jeff Hardy v Rob Van Dam
What a match! Lots and lots of crazy bumps taken by both men. RVD wins the title after a hard-fought match. ****1/2
WCW Tag Title + WWF Tag Title Unification Match, Steel Cage:
Kane & Undertaker v DDP & Chris Kanyon
Oh dear... The only boring and slow match of the card. Kane & Taker won after a Last Ride on DDP. *
WWF Championship Match: Kurt Angle v Stone Cold
Fantastic match! This was absolutely unbelievable. Austin knew that he couldn't beat Angle, so he got himself disqualified to retain the title. Ah mann, if that match had a proper finish (and not the lame DQ) it would have been an easy ***** and probably match of the year. As it stands, ****3/4
WCW Championship Match: Booker T v The Rock
The Rock won the title after he nipped-up and hit a Rock Bottom to beat the Champion. Decent match to end the show. ***1/2
This is probably the second best PPV of the year after WrestleMania X-7, so you will not be dissapointed if you buy the DVD. The special features are also good - They include the 'Austin Appreciation Night' from the next night's RAW, two interviews, and a match from 'Sunday Night Heat'. Highly recommended.
Movie Review: An okay PPV
Summary: 4 Stars
SummerSlam 2001 was a good PPV from top to bottom, with some good matches and some weak ones. Let's review, shall we?Edge vs. Lance Storm- Good technical action. Enjoyable, from two good wrestlers. Storyline development is there and the match is fun to watch, and really picks up as you go along.
Spike and the APA vs. Test and The Dudley Boyz- Okay for a six man, but nothing special. A very unimportant match, subpar but not terrible.
Tajiri vs. X-Pac- I loved this match. It was very entertaining with great in ring action. Very enjoyable and watchable, definitley the sleeper of the card.
Rhyno vs. Jericho- This was okay, but I was expecting alot, and with the sloppy missed spots and below average working from both competitors I found it dissapointing. A good match, but it should have been great.
DDP and Kanyon vs. The Undertaker and Kane- TERRIBLE. I mean this is painful to watch. It is a sqaush cage match with wrestlers who don't work well together. Brutal.
RVD and Jeff Hardy- Great showstealer. Amazing spots, but missed spots make it seem sloppy (I hear that there were problems with the ropes), and stop it from being classic. Very good match though.
Booker T vs. The Rock- Even though I was excited for his return, I must admit that I was reminded why I was never a huge Rock fan. Very average. Good, but not great. Rock matches all seem the same to me.
Stone Cold vs. Angle- This was a great match. Good technichal action, very suspensful. Bloody. I wish the ending hadn't been so weak, but still a great match.
Overall a good PPV that I would recomend to any wrestling fan.
