Summerslam 2009 Review

Summerslam 2009 Review : Taker Returns After Amazing TLC


I'm going to review every Summerslam now that I have the complete collection .



Rey Mysterio vs Dolph Ziggler
IC Title on the line and what a way to start the show . This is the third time I've watched this match and it's still exciting . Hell , it nearly stole the show . The loud fans also helped make it a great match . Mysterio retains with a hurricarana off the top rope . ***3/4



Jack Swagger vs MVP 
Were these guys feuding just because Swagger kept calling MVP an ex-con ? He was right though . The fans weren't really into the match but it wasn't too bad . Short and inoffensive . MVP hits the playmaker to win . **



JeriShow vs Cryme Tyme
Time for some tag title action and who better to see than JeriShow ? I don't think that Cryme Tyme were much of a threat though . Pretty good match , but the pace did slow down when Show was in the ring . Show hits his big right hand and Jericho covers for the win . **3/4



Kane vs The Great Khali
Who thought it was a good idea to have a PPV rematch between these two ? And yes this match was quite bad , and the last thing this match needed was a chinlock . Kane hits a DDT to win . 1/4*



DX vs Legacy 
This was DX's return match and their first match together since the New Years Revolution PPV in January 2007 . DX's entrance was also pretty awesome . Legacy looked really good in this match , as if they could keep up with the two legends . Overall , very entertaining . HBK hits the superkick to win the match . ***1/2


Christian vs William Regal
I can't believe this match only lasted about six seconds . PROFANITY WARNING - What the fuck was that shit ?? A match that could have been seriously great , relegated to six seconds on PPV ? Screw that . DUD


John Cena vs Randy Orton
This is the second time that these two have fought for the WWE Championship at Summerslam . But what the hell was with all the restarts ? It would have been fine if Cena had won the title , but instead Orton retained and made it all pointless . Orton hits an RKO to retain . The in ring action wasn't too bad , so for that I'll give it  **1/2



CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy : TLC Match
One of the best feuds of 2009 hits its breaking point with a TLC match . Jeff Hardy's specialty match . Nice to see they got the main event spot . Jeff being dropped onto a set-up chair looked brutal . The superplex on the ladder looked very sick . Jeff's swanton onto the announce table was the holy shit moment of the match . Punk knocks Jeff off the ladder and grabs the title to become the new champ . Incredible . ****1/4


After the match , Punk stands over Hardy's body as the Gong sounds . Lights come back on and Taker is nowhere in sight until he sits up from under Punk . Punk takes a chokeslam to end the show .



6.5/10  Overall an enjoyable Summerslam . The Kane/Khali and the ECW title match bring it down , along with the latter part of the Cena/Orton match . TLC , Mysterio/Ziggler and DX/Legacy definitely make up for it .

Judgment Day 2000 Review

Judgment Day 2000 Review : HHH & Rock for 60 Minutes


Known as one of the best PPVs in WWE history . Lets see shall we .




Rikishi & Too Cool vs E&C  & Kurt Angle 
This one was hugely entertaining , and the fans were really into it , which makes for a great opening matchup . Great action too . Grand Master Sexay hits a flying legdrop on Edge and that picks up the victory for the good guys . ***1/2



Eddie Guerrero vs Perry Saturn vs Dean Malenko
European title was on the line . This was a good triple threat match , it was just a shame that the crowd wasn't really into it and only popped for the big moves like the gut buster from the top rope . Eddie pins Dean after interference from Chyna to retain . ***



Shane McMahon vs The Big Show : Falls Count Anywhere
These guys started feuding after Big Show was the first eliminated from the Wrestlemania main event . This one was pretty fun to watch , even with all the guys running in to aid Shane , but it makes sense considering that Shane had no chance of winning . Shane hits Show with a cement block to win . **3/4



Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho : Submission Match 
I was really looking forward to this one , since both guys have amazing chemistry together . I ended up being a little disappointed though . Don't get me wrong it's still a great match , but not as good as I thought . Y2J's walls of Jericho on the ropes was pretty awesome though . Benoit makes Jericho pass out to the crossface to retain the IC title . ***3/4



Road Dogg & X-Pac vs The Dudley Boyz : Tables Match
Usually , tables matches are only truly entertaining when someone actually goes through a table ( bar Royal Rumble 2000 ) , but this one was thoroughly enjoyable . X-Pac won the match for his team with a massive facebuster to Bubba through a table . ***



Triple H vs The Rock : 60 Minute Iron Man Match
Shawn Michaels was the ref for this match . I've wanted to see this match for a while , but never had the chance , but now I finally I have the chance , and I must say that I was not disappointed . Every minute felt like it was adding to the match and it was never dull or boring . The match ended 6-5 to HHH , as Undertaker made his return and got the Rock disqualified . Just brilliant . ****3/4



9/10 . If any wrestling promoter needs to book a show around a sixty minute match , then they should watch this show to see how it's done . Great show with the lowest rating being **3/4 and the highest being ****3/4 . Definitely recommended .

New reviews on their way

Have just been given this new DVD set , so plenty of reviews on their way !

Trish Stratus - 100% Stratusfaction Guaranteed DVD Review

Trish Stratus DVD Review


Apparently a wrestling rarity . I've checked around and I've found very few reviews for this , so I guess it's a rare review as well . The feature runs for 65 minutes . I knew nothing about Trish before this , so this is all new to me . I found this to be very entertaining . It shows her childhood , what she did before wrestling , how she got into wrestling and then the main feuds and moments from her career . There's also a nice non-kayfabe conversation between Trish and Stone Cold . I do have to say , the 65 minutes absolutely flew by and I wish it had been 2 hours long . I know people want this because it's rare , but you should also get it for the quality .  I'll give it  8/10 .

Making of Trish Stratus : 100% Stratusfaction Guaranteed



Matches :


Trish Stratus vs Stacy Kiebler : Mud Match
From an episode of Raw . This is now the only Mud match that I have on DVD . I have absolutely no idea of how to rate this , so I'm just gonna leave it as ' Fun to watch ' .


Trish Stratus vs Victoria : Chicago Street Fight 
After watching the feature , I really want to see this match now . The first ever divas chicago street fight . This was a well paced , hardcore style match . It's over quite quickly with Victoria picking up the win . **3/4



Trish Stratus vs Jazz vs Victoria 
I'd put this as the second best divas match in Wrestlemania history . Good action throughout this match . A good triple threat match . Trish becomes the women's champion after a chick kick to Victoria . ***


Trish Stratus vs Jazz
From the UK Insurrextion PPV and is for the Women's title . This was a pretty good divas match , and it was long as well which was a nice treat . Jazz retains her title . **1/2


7.5/10 . A surprisingly good DVD here , with a great feature , fun special features and a few good matches . Recommended if you can get it .

The Greatest Cage Matches of all Time DVD Review

The Greatest Cage Matches of all Time DVD Review


There are pretty mixed opinions of this set . I'm usually a pretty positive person so I think this'll be a great DVD . Lets find out if I'm right or not .

I should note that next to each match , I will show that it is a cage match , but that's just in case I need to copy and paste for another review .


Disc 1 Matches :



Pat Patterson vs Bob Backlund : Steel Cage
WWE Title is on the line for this one . This match started off very quickly and the crowd was heated up . This is pretty fast paced for a match from 1979 . The only way to win was by escaping . The psychology was great for this one . Backlund escapes through the door to retain . Great for its time . ***1/4



Bob Backlund vs Jimmy Snuka : Steel Cage 
WWE Title up for grabs . Of course Snuka would make his mark in a different cage match ( that isn't on this disc , but you can find it on the IC Title set ) . This match was slower than the first cage match on the set . The crowd went absolutely wild when Snuka was busted open . It was quite stupid for Snuka to go for the big splash off the top when he could have won it . Backlund walks out to retain . ***



Bruno Sammartino vs Larry Zbyszko : Steel Cage
I love watching Bruno matches . Why the hell isn't this guy in the hall of fame ? Oh yeah I forgot Vince likes to think of himself as king of the wrestling world . Anyway now for the match . The commentary by Striker and Matthews really doesn't help . The match was ok . Bruno walks out to win it . **



Ric Flair vs Kerry Von Erich : Steel Cage 
From Christmas Star Wars 1982 . As soon as I saw that these two had a match here , I began looking forward to it . These two have been known to have great matches . Michael Hayes is the special guest referee . And yes this was another great match between the two . Felt like an all out war . Flair wins since Kerry wasn't able to continue . ****



Ivan & Nikita Koloff vs The Rock N Roll Express : Steel Cage
From Starrcade 1985 . This wasn't on the Starrcade DVD so it was a nice addition . I think this cage match was overshadowed by the I Quit cage match that also took place on this night . However , this was a great match . The heel heat sections were great , with the fans desperate for a tag . The rock n roll express win the tag titles with a roll up . ***1/2



Road Warriors vs The Freebirds : Steel Cage 
From Wrestlerock 1986 . This would be the last time the Road Warriors were in the AWA before moving to the NWA . The match felt like a squash , with the Freebirds not getting a lot of offense in . Still it was entertaining . Road warriors get the win . **



Abdullah The Butcher vs Bruiser Brody : Steel Cage 
This is the first time I've seen a match featuring either of these guys . The match wasn't as brutal as I thought it might be but Abdullah still bled pretty badly . Match was ok . Brody pins Abdullah to win . *1/2



Midnight Rockers vs Buddy Rose & Doug Somers : Steel Cage
From Brawl in St Paul . HBK likes to bring up this rivalrie when talking about his career . The Rockers were in control for most of this match . Quite a bit of blood in this one . A really good cage match as the Rockers win the match . ***1/4



Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant : Steel Cage 
I know these guys don't have wrestling classics with each other , but I can't help but feel excited when I know they're going one on one . There's just something magical about it . I thought it was an entertaining match while it lasted . Hogan climbs out to win . *



Disc 2 Matches :



Ric Flair vs Lex Luger : Steel Cage
From the 1990 Capital Carnage . This was the US Champ going against the World Champ with the World Title on the line . I'm really looking forward to this one ( then again I always look forward to Flair matches ) . That is one big ass cage . This was awesome . For some reason the match ends in DQ . The only bad part to an otherwise great match . ****



 Ultimate Warrior vs Rick Rude : Steel Cage 
From Summerslam 1990 and is for the WWE Title . It's a shame they couldn't have put the superior match from the previous Summerslam in this match's place . Rude really helped put the Warrior over . Not too great a match here though . Pretty dull stuff . Warrior retains by climbing out of the cage . *3/4



Ultimate Warrior vs Randy Savage : Steel Cage
These guys would go on to have an absolute classic at Wrestlemania . So judging by that match , this one should be a doozy . The match was pretty entertaining . Savage climbs out the cage with Sherri's help , who is stripped afterwards . **3/4



Shawn Michaels vs Marty Jannetty : Steel Cage
These two had one of the best matches in Raw history for the IC Title . Lets see if this one can live up to that standard . And it turns out it can't . I really don't know what was going on here but this felt really sloppy at times . Shawn falls out the door to win . **1/2



Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs Mankind : Steel Cage
From Summerslam 1997 . I've seen this match with great reviews so I'm really looking forward to watching it for the first time . And yes this was a great match . Some great spots involved and some painful ones like the steel door on Mankind's skull . Mankind escapes to win . ***3/4



Stone Cold vs Vince McMahon : Steel Cage
I think , at the time , this was a highly anticipated matchup . Hell I've never seen it and I'm pretty excited for it ! This was barely a cage match , but it was a fun brawl . Vince flying through the announce table was an awesome sight to see . This also had the debut of Paul Wight . Austin managed to win as Paul threw him at the cage and it opened up . **1/2



Triple H vs The Rock : Steel Cage 
From Rebellion 1999 which took place in the UK . These two would go on to have a fantastic rivalry in 2000 for the title . The match wasn't as entertaining as I thought it would be , but it was was still pretty damn good . The fans got on my nerves . Bulldog interferes to cost Rock the match . ***1/4



Disc 3 Matches :



Dudley Boyz vs Hardy Boyz : Steel Cage 
From Survivor Series 2001 . This was the match that led to the short and pretty pointless breakup of the Hardys . The match was fun but the ending seemed pointless with Jeff being able to win but deciding to entertain the fans and leap off the cage , only to miss . Dudleys win . ***



Edge vs Chris Jericho : Steel Cage
I think it's amazing that these two never had a feud until 2010 . This match shows that it could have been a great feud . The match is awesome and the aftermath has Rey Mysterio's awesome leap from the top of the cage . Edge escapes to win it . ****



Chris Jericho vs Christian : Steel Cage
Another Canadian vs Canadian match on this disc . I found the Y2J/CLB rivalry to be very underrated . I loved their Wrestlemania , Backlash , Unforgiven and this match . Great chemistry between the two . Y2J's crossbody from the top of the cage was awesome . Christian bled quite badly . Y2J makes Christian tap to win . ***1/2



Randy Orton vs Ric Flair : Steel Cage 
From the first WWE interactive PPV Taboo Tuesday . I remember , as a kid , wanting to see this match , and now over 8 years later I finally have the chance to watch it . This one got bloody pretty quickly . I actually really enjoyed this . Orton wins with an RKO . ***



Edge vs Matt Hardy : Steel Cage
From Unforgiven 2005 . Now here was a bitter feud that was definitely deserving of the steel cage . To put it basically , this was an awesome match with a great finish . It's amazing that Matt could've seriously tried to hurt Edge with the leg drop , but landed it perfectly like a professional . Matt wins it . A classic cage match . ****1/4



John Cena vs Edge : Steel Cage
Another match that deserved a cage . WWE likes to call this the rivalry of the decade . I wouldn't go that far but I still think it's one of the better rivalries . A great cage match here , and one of the better matches between the two guys . Cena hits the FU to win . ***1/2



Batista vs Chris Jericho : Steel Cage 
This was after the Cyber Sunday match between the two , in which Batista won the World Title from Jericho  . The match felt a little dull , especially since there was a title change . Jericho escapes the cage to win the title . **1/4




Jeff Hardy vs CM Punk : Steel Cage
The loser of this match had to leave the WWE . To date , this is Jeff's final match in the WWE . World title was also on the line . This was only five days after their big TLC match at Summerslam . Fans were solidly behind Jeff here . In fact the fans are really loud throughout this entire match . Punk wins by escaping the cage . ****




7.5/10 . A very good set , but it reminded me of the ladder match set where it was hard to watch the dvd , match after match , except that not every match was great . The set really could have used a classic like Bret/Owen or Magnum/Blanchard . Recommended for some great and rare matches .

TLC 2012 Review

TLC 2012 Review : Ziggler Finally on Top



Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara vs Team Rhodes Scholars : Tables Match
I wasn't sure how good this one would be , since table matches have never really been classics , but it surprised me . It ended up being really good , and was quite hard to predict given that either team having a win would make sense . Cody wins a title match for the team after pushing Sin Cara from the top of the rope and through a table . ***



Antonio Cesaro vs R-Truth 
I wasn't looking forward to this one after their match at Survivor Series , but I ended up enjoying it . Definitely better than the SS match but it felt like they were building to something and then it ended abruptly with Cesaro hitting the neutralizer and retaining the title . **1/4

MizTV somehow gets a segment on PPV . 3MB are the guests . The only thing stopping this from being pointless is a potential Del Rio face turn . The match later on would be pointless too .

Kofi Kingston vs Wade Barrett
This was a hard one to predict . Before the match I thought that Barrett would get the win and become champ . I even thought he was gonna hit his big elbow , but Kofi managed to hit the trouble in paradise and retain the title . Good , unpredictable match . ***



Ryback & Team Hell No vs The Shield : TLC Match
Wow , what an absolutely fantastic match this was . This was 20 minutes of great , non-stop action . Before the match , I was worried  that WWE would make the Shield lose and look bad in the defeat . They didn't and looked brilliant throughout the match . There were a lot of great spots as well , like Seth Rollins going through about 2 or 3 tables off a ladder . Shield win after powerbombing Daniel Bryan through a table from the top rope . Easily match of the night and a MOTYC . ****1/2



Eve vs Naomi
This was pretty interesting , given that Naomi was a fresh new opponent and she did impress me for all three minutes . Way too short , Naomi should have been given a chance to show off but wasn't given that chance . Eve hits a swinging neckbreaker to win . 1/2*



Sheamus vs Big Show : Chairs Match
I was looking forward to this one , after the two surprisingly good matches they had at the previous two PPVs . I would say this wasn't as good as their match at HIAC , but better than the Survivor Series match . It was also another surprise win , as Big Show was able to retain after hitting Sheamus with the biggest steel chair I've ever seen . I was sure Sheamus would win the title back . Good match . ***1/4



Miz / Alberto Del Rio/Brooklyn Brawler vs 3MB
I really did not enjoy this . 3MB had to lose their momentum for this ? Plus Miz and Del Rio really don't look comfortable in the face zone . Brawler puts Jinder Mahal into the boston crab for the submission win . Meh . 3/4*


John Cena vs Dolph Ziggler : Ladder Match
If I'm not mistaken , this is Ziggler's first singles match in the main event of a PPV . This match was awesome and I was really worried that Cena was going to win the briefcase . Thankfully it never happened . I have to admit , Cena's hurricarana was awesome . Ziggler wins the briefcase after AJ pushes Cena off the ladder and Ziggler superkicks him . Nice to see Ziggler getting a big win to end a show . ****



8/10 . I was really worried that I was going to regret buying this show , but I needn't have worried , it was awesome . Easily the best PPV since Extreme Rules . The stuff that sucked was really short , so they could be forgotten easily . Watch this show !

Bragging Rights 2009 Review

Bragging Rights 2009 Review : One Hour , Anything Goes



John Morrison vs The Miz
This is the first round of the Smackdown vs Raw matches , and this one had the IC Champion going up against the US Champion . I felt bad for Marty Jannetty being the punchline in this feud between old tag partners . This was a very enjoyable match and the best choice for an opener in my opinion . Finish wasn't too good though . Miz makes Morrison fall off the top rope and pins him to win . ***



Smackdown Divas vs Raw Divas
The second round of the Smackdown vs Raw matches . What would have happened if Raw had won ? No 7 on 7 match later on ? Not a lot of logic there . This match wasn't too bad as it featured some of the better divas in the WWE . Beth hits the glam slam to give Smackdown the win . **1/4



Undertaker vs Batista vs Rey Mysterio vs CM Punk 
The match that started Batista's great heel turn and it's for the World Championship . This match was a hell of a lot of fun . I think most knew that Taker was gonna win , but it was still a fun ride getting there . Nobody expected what came after the match though , and is , possibly , the highlight of the entire night . Taker wins with a tombstone to Batista . ***1/2


After the match , Batista tells Rey he's tired of him , and in a sadistic ( and awesome ) tone says , 'I'm gonna rip your head off ' and then savagely attacks him . Just great stuff here .




Team Smackdown vs Team Raw 
And here we have the match to decide which brand gets the trophy . I would have preferred this as an elimination match because it just seems way too crowded in there . That being said , this match was a lot of fun and just about every guy got a chance to show off . Y2J pins Kofi after Big Show betrays his team and gives Kofi a chokeslam . Smackdown leaves with the trophy . ***1/4



John Cena vs Randy Orton : 60 Minute Iron Man Anything Goes Match
I've seen views on this match range from not so good to all time classic . While I wouldn't call it a classic , I definitely wouldn't say it wasn't good . I'll call it a great match . There were some slow parts , but the rest of the match made it worth it . Cena made Orton submit to the STF seconds before the match ended . ***3/4



8.5/10 . This was the best pay per view of 2009 . There's nothing bad here , with only the divas match coming under three stars and even that was pretty . I'd call this highly recommended .

Survivor Series 2009 Review

Survivor Series 2009 Review : DX Implodes For One Night



Team Morrison vs Team Miz : Traditional Elimination Match 
You can usually guarantee a Survivor Series elimination match being a great way to open the show , and on this occasion I think it was the best way to go . It wasn't the best elimination match , but it was still fun and enjoyable . I only wish that Finlay and Sheamus got more time to interact . Miz , Drew McIntyre and Sheamus are the sole survivors for team Miz . ***



Batista vs Rey Mysterio 
This was more of an angle advancement or a segment than a match . Usually that would be fine , but this was a big PPV , so surely that stuff could have been kept for Smackdown . We did get some nice action though . Batista destroys Rey and so the ref has to end the match . **



Team Kingston vs Team Orton : Traditional Elimination Match
This was definitely the better traditional match on this night . I'm glad they eliminated Mark Henry really quickly since it was pretty slow when he was in . Kofi being able to eliminate two former World champions on his own was great and really should have pushed him towards the stars . Kofi is the sole survivor . ***1/2



Undertaker vs Chris Jericho vs Big Show
World title is on the line . And as I suspected , this was mostly like a handicap match . Although the highlight of the match has to be a fan telling Jericho to go back to Toronto and Jericho retorts , ' I'm from Winnipeg you idiot ' . Just brilliant . It was pretty slow to start but got better by the end . Taker makes Show submit to the hell's gate to retain . ***



Team McCool vs Team Mickie : Traditional Elimination Match
This wasn't too bad for a divas match . Pretty fun actually . Beth was looking really dominant until she was eliminated by Mickie . Mickie and Melina are the sole survivors for team Mickie . *1/2

Remember when people thought this was the last ever Survivor Series ?



John Cena vs Triple H vs Shawn Michaels 
WWE Championship on the line . I thought this would be like the previous triple threat match , with DX tagging against Cena for the majority of the contest . Boy was I wrong ! First move of the match is a Shawn superkick to HHH ! The match was so much fun from there and easily the best match of the night . Cena retains his title . ****



7/10 . A good Survivor Series here . Two really good traditional matches , a good World title triple threat and a fantastic main event . Only the Batista/Mysterio and the divas match really hold it back .

Backlash 2005 Review

Backlash 2005 Review : "One" More Time

Shelton Benjamin vs Chris Jericho 
IC Title is on the line . You can usually bank on the IC title match being a great way to start the show off and on this occasion it was a fantastic opener . The crowd was absolutely dead to start off but these two guys managed to bring them round and make them loud . Some brilliant moves and near falls in this match with a great pinning combination to finish it off . Shelton retains with a pin . ****



Tag Team Turmoil 
I think this shows how bad the tag teams were . The only interesting team was one that was thrown together ( Regal and Tajiri ) . Match was pretty dull at times . Hurricane and Rosey become the new tag champs . *1/2


Edge vs Chris Benoit : Last Man Standing 
This ' blood feud ' started with Edge taking advantage of Benoit's injured arm at Wrestlemania and then attacking him on Raw . A friend told me this match was a classic . I wouldn't go that far personally , but the match was still very good with some nice spots . Edge wins by hitting Benoit over the head with a brick . ***1/4


I should say that there is a sign , high up in the crowd , that reads ' Hulkamainia ' . That really doesn't help the public opinion that all wrestling fans are morons .


Kane vs Viscera 
I thought this would slow things down a bit , but it wasn't bad . They threw in some nice moves . I think this was also the match that started Viscera's ' World's Largest Love Machine ' gimmick . Kane wins with a chokeslam . *3/4


After the match , Viscera basically flattens poor Trish .



Shawn Michaels & Hulk Hogan vs Muhammed Hassan & Daivari 
I had to laugh at the sign at  ringside that says ' But they're from America ' . The match was ok , it was basically all about Hogan and his 'last' match . The fact that it wasn't his last makes it a little redundant . HBK hits Daivari with the superkick and Hogan pins him to win . They take ages to leave the ring . **1/2



Batista vs Triple H 
The rematch from Wrestlemania ( which would become common for the PPV after Mania ) . The story was that Batista was afraid of the pedigree . Well we never got to find out since there was no cover when he was hit by it . Pretty sure HHH should have been DQ'd too . Batista hits the powerbomb to retain his title . **3/4



6/10 . Not a bad show . The first hour was great , but it declined from there . The final two matches were decent enough to give the show a nice ending , but the matches weren't too great . You should definitely try to find the Shelton/Y2J match somewhere .
