Movie Reviews of WWF: Summer Slam 2001
Movie Review: An excellent ppv...a lousy main-event
Summary: 4 Stars
The show starts off with the IC title on the line. With help from Christian, Edge defeats Lance Storm to win the gold. Not a bad match...leads into the Edge/Christian feud nicely. The Dudley Boyz and Test defeat APA and Spike Deudley in a surprisingly good 6-man tag-team match. Shane McMahon's interference and Spike Dudley going through a table are high points in this contest. In a Cruiserweight-Light Heavyweight Championship-for-Championship match, X-Pac defeats Tajiri to leave with both belts. A pretty ordinary match, but not bad seeing that the cruiserweight division was really just being utilized at ppv. Rhyno and Chris Jericho was an entertaining rivalry and the match was decent as well. Stephanie McMahon's involvement added fuel to her feud with Y2J. Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam didn't top their Hardcore Title match from Invasion, but they did put on a show in the First-Ever Hardcore Ladder match. Undertaker and Kane vs. DDP and Kanyon was a dull steel cage match with both companies tag-titles on the line. It was really just a means of ending the long-running DDP/Taker feud.The match of the night and the match that should have been the main-event was for the WWF Championship and it pitted the challenger Kurt Angle against Steve Austin. This was a five star classic. From chair shots to ankle locks to knocked out referees, this match had it all and was second to Austin-Rock at X7 as match of the year in my eyes. The main event was Rock and Booker T for the WCW title. A run of the mill match, but a good ending and a good way of enhancing the WWF/Alliance feud.
Movie Review: Second Best of 2001
Summary: 4 Stars
Intercontinental Championship
Lance Storm vs. Edge
Very good match and also a good showcase for Edge. This really put him on the map as a real singles wrestler.
Dudley Boyz & Test vs. APA & Spike
Doesn't look all that good on paper but pans out nicely including a serious bump by Spike.
Cruiserweight vs. Light Heavyweight Champion
X-Pac vs. Tajiri
Another solid match. This was to unify these belts.
Chris Jericho vs. Rhyno
Pretty decent match here. Good storyline stemming from their ECW days.
Steel Cage Match for the WCW & WWF Tag Team Championships
Undertaker & Kane vs. DDP & Kanyon
A squash. It's pretty fun to watch actually.
Ladder Match for the Hardcore Championship
Jeff Hardy vs. Rob Van Dam
Classic! Perfection! In the top 3 of greatest ladder matches...EVER! You just can't put enough adjectives on something like this.
WWF Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle
First ever meeting for these 2 and it's a thriller! A lot of psychology in this match. Ending is sour but that's it.
WCW Championship
Booker T vs. The Rock
Rock's big return and a very good match. A lot of people thought the Bookerman wasn't up to main event status. Not true at all. Good way to end the show.
