A great end to a great year in ppv's August 6, 2008
Scotty 2 Hotty 24 (Back Woods, GEORGIA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Vengeance crowned the first ever undisputed champion and this was just a good ending to a sensational year in ppv's. This was also Jerry Lawler's first commentated ppv in 2001 since No Way Out, so it was good to hear him back in action with JR.
It starts out with Mr. McMahon coming out to the ring to address the fans about the situation that happened the past Thursday on Smackdown with the whole Kiss my A55 thing. Ric Flair would come out to shut up McMahon and then the ppv would start.
1. Scotty 2 Hotty & Albert vs. Christian & Test
The match started with a little brawl on the outside which led to the match in the ring. There were some very good brawling and impact moves. All four men look good in this one. There was some funny spots with S2H & Albert. I thought it had a pretty good ending. Pretty solid opening contest. 3.5/5
2. Intercontinental Championship
Edge vs. William Regal
Before the match started, Regal did a pretty good heel interview with the Coach. The match was pretty good with some nice counters with some good back and fourth action. Edge would go for the spear on the outside but would miss Regal and run right into the ring steps. Regal would find some brass knucks but doesn't get a chance to use them. Edge hit the spear out of thin air which was made the ending better to me. 3.5/5
3. Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy with Lita as the special Referee
Pretty solid match up right here, and surprisingly the Hardys work pretty well against each other. Matt would try to work on Jeff's leg about mid way in the match so Jeff wouldn't be able to pull off any of his high flying Hardy offense. There were some pretty good counters and high risk. Some good wrestling moves applied as well. It had a pretty questionable ending but it worked in well. Good match. 4/5
4. WWE Tag Team Championship
The Dudley Boyz w/ Stacy Keibler vs. Big Show and Kane
I believe Show and Kane always made a good big man team. I believe they work well as a team and they make a good big team duo. There was some nice double team moves and a little high risk. A good funny spot with Show & Stacy mid way in the match. Some good hard shots too. A few nice counters as well. There was some miss cues on the part of Kane & Show which costed them the match. Pretty good tag match, I really enjoyed this one. 3.5/5
5. Hardcore Championship
Undertaker vs. RVD
It seemed in the early going that Undertaker was just over powering the smaller RVD. It had some pretty fast paced action. It soon would fall out into the crowd and get more hardcore out there. Some nice high aerial offense from Van Dam out there. Some nice weapon use. It had a pretty solid and hardcore ending. Good title match up. 4/5
6. Women's Championship
Trish Stratus vs. Jacqueline
This was a pretty decent back and fourth women's match up. There were some nice physcial spots with some good wrestling moves and counters. Nice wrestled up women's contest right here. A little short but it served its purpose to set up the Undisputed title matches. 3/5
7. WWE Championship
Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
This match was very different from their previous ecounters but it was great though. It had some good wrestling and some good brawling. Austin really trys to ware down Angle in the beginning. Austin really works on Angles arm in this one. They really brawled each other out on the outside where Angle applied the figure four on Austin on the ring post. Some good reversals and good counters, just a great solid match up. 5/5
8. World Heavyweight Championship
The Rock vs. Chris Jericho
This was a pretty solid title match up as well. And this match to was different from their previous encounter from No Mercy. The match was more fast paced and more physical. Some nice wrestling moves used too by both men. It seemed to drag on a little bit but not that much. It had some good counters and I believed that this match was more personal then the Angle/Austin Match before. There were some few high risk and a good table spot as well. I wasn't really all too fond of the ending but it was good. Another good one right here. 4.5/5
9. Undisputed Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Chris Jericho
Before the match got under way, Angle would come out and hit Austin with a chair and the Rock would Rock Bottom Jericho. The match would then start and these two had a pretty good match up as well. They put on a good showing on the outside just beating on each other out there. Jericho took some hard slams on the hard exposed concrete floor. They put on some good brawling and some nice counters. Flair and McMahon would interfer which would set up their match at the Royal Rumble. It had a pretty cheap ending but it all fitted in. A nice solid undisputed match up. 4.5/5
Vengeance topped off and unbelieveable year of 2001. This is a great ppv to check out if yall haven't already. Pretty solid card.
 Could Have Better But Decent End To 2001 July 8, 2008

This year took a beating due to the Invasion angle but for the most part, the year 2001 delivered great matches & moments that we will never forget. This was far from the best show of 2001 but it is worth a look.
Scotty 2 Hotty & Albert vs Christian & Test. A good opener as everyone worked well together & got the crowd into the match so it did it's job here.
Intercontinental Champion Edge vs William Regal. This feud got old really fast & even though these two are great wrestlers, their styles don't mesh well & this match seemed to have no energy which resulted in a boring match.
Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy w/Lita as the guest referee. The storyline here was really something & had many of the fans anticipating this clash but unfortunately this was one of the bigger flops of the night. Instead of being a fast-paced action packed contest, these two decided to straight-up wrestle & it came off as flat. As a side note, this was the match that got the Hardyz suspended for a month because of this.
WWF Tag Team Champions Dudley Boyz vs Kane & Big Show. Everyone did a good job & was the best match that the crowd had seen since the opener but really made this standout was the entertaining moments especially the one with Show spanking Stacy Keibler. Good tag team match with comedy.
Hardcore Champion Rob Van Dam vs The Undertaker. One of the more underrated hardcore matches that the WWF has put out as these two meshed well together with Taker's power offense & RVD's unusual style. Taker is in full heel mode here which added more to the contest, including a moment where he responds to the crowd for chanting RVD which was funny as well. Great brawl that ended with RVD taking a ride off the stage through two tables.
Women's Champion Trish Stratus vs Jacqueline. Trish was the surprise at Survivor Series when she won the title but this match did not showcase the best from these two women. It was missing that "IT" factor but it was barely an average match.
WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Kurt Angle. The first of the three title matches to crown an Undisputed Champion. As I have mentioned, these two don't have a bad match but the only drawback here was that these two did not get enough time to work. One moment to check out for would be Angle doing the figure-four around the post, similar to what Bret Hart did in the past.
World Champion The Rock vs Chris Jericho. As Austin/Angle, these two don't have a bad match but they have had better matches before & after this. Although, I felt that this was the best out of the three title matches as these two put on a great wrestling match with a nice table spot & cameo appearance from Vince McMahon. Moment to look out for would be how great Jericho can act as a heel & it shows here.
WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs World Champion Chris Jericho. Gotta love Austin's character as he attacks Jericho right after his match ends that leads to a series of events involving Rock, Angle, McMahon & Ric Flair. The match itself was just above average due to Jericho already just going through a match with the Rock while Austin had a match with Angle around 15 mins. earlier. The bigger issue here was just Jericho becoming the first Undisputed Champion in decades & Vince McMahon getting the last laugh due to what happened to him on SmackDown.
Overall, this event was worth the VHS purchase but I would not get it on DVD since most fans are asking for too much & I really don't think this event is worth going out of your way to see. Get it if you want the whole 2001 collection otherwise I pass.
 Couldn't even give Jericho a clean victory for his first ever world championship June 1, 2008

To sum this all up, this was a flaccid way to end 2001, which had seen one of the best Wrestlemanias in history, and some of the most ground-breaking and ground-failing TV in wrestling history---Stone Cold Steve Austin turning heel, a mass invasion of two other wrestling companies, and the emergence of relatively new superstars like Rob Van Dam and Chris Jericho to superstardom. And they topped this all off with a "status-quo" humdrum average sort of event.
First Vince comes out, and really powerhouses his heel abilities in getting the crowd riled up. I've always admired Vince's sheer charisma in getting people to hate him; as of late, that's really been weak and uninteresting, and consisting of just doing things that would make the audience mad; but here, he just completely channelled everything that made a good heel, and threw it at the crowd. Phenomenal. Ric Flair comes out and says PPV time, and Albert and Scotty 2 Hotty come down the ring to dance with Vince before Vince storms out.
Scotty 2 Hotty and Albert vs Test and Christian
From the beginning, this is what I expected to be the warm-up for a stellar event. After watching the event, this turns out to be probably the second best, or probably best match of the night. Everyone is completely on, putting on great WWF-style wrestling with nonstop action and constant momentum shifts. Powerful stuff, and if only they pushed these four guys like this more often, they'd all STILL BE IN THE COMPANY. (9/10)
WWF Intercontinental Championship
Edge (C) vs William Regal
As boring as any regular TV match with Regal and someone else. I know Regal is legitimately talented as a chain wrestler, but was it just laziness or the booking getting to him that he came off as dull as Hardcore Holly in this match? It was lackluster, boring, and the audience didn't care about it. (0/10)
Neat sort of build up to the break-up of the Hardy Boys, but they really make it too blatant that Matt is going to be the heel.
Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy Lita special referee
If these two are dynamite together, they are wet bathwater together. The match was almost entirely brawling, with a few high spots, but mostly generic Hardcore Holly vs John Cena type brawling. Lita is so unremarkable as referee that she may as well not be there; her only saving grace was the Dusty finish, paving the way for their eventual breakup. (3/10)
The Rock promises to screw Trish after they win their respective matches.
WWF Tag Team Championship
The Dudley Boys (C) vs The Big Show and Kane
The only highlight of this match was The Big Show showing off his powerhouse skill. Little more than a glorified squash of the Dudley Boys. I forgot who won, and I only just saw the match yesterday. (1/10)
WWF Hardcore Championship
The Undertaker vs Rob Van Dam (C)
The Undertaker is heel here. But most of the arena cheers him anyway. The match itself was very dull. Standard forced "hardcore" affair of trying to be like ECW by having the superstars fight in the crowd. But they did little more than generic brawling, fake punches, and below-average chair shots. Even Van Dam's jump off the railings was cut short by the Undertaker's 6'10" height, plus maybe 2-3 foot arms, reaching up to catch him, making for a weak-looking spot. And god forbid the ECW guy should win out over the WWF original! (5/10)
WWF Women's Championship
Trish Stratus vs Jacqueline
Typical WWF/WWE women's affair... that is, barely anything of worth beyond some sloppy moves and generic brawling. (0/10)
WWF Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin (C) vs Kurt Angle
By now, we've seen these two wrestle so much (Summerslam, Unforgiven, No Mercy, Survivor Series) that quite frankly, I'm sick of it. There was nothing new, nothing special, nothing remarkable about this match. Austin was mostly restrained in his wrestling, clearly saving up for his next opponent. The submission holds were weak, sloppy things that looked to be barely there. (0/10)
Test barges into Trish's locker room while she's covered with a towel and basically threatens to rape her, until she shuffles him out and he just leaves despite the door being open. The hell? Useless backstage promo FTL
Not WCW World Championship
The Rock (C) vs Chris Jericho
This was certainly better than the WWF Championship match, but it wasn't much better. It was still much of a generic brawl, and Jericho did basically two high flying moves or so in the match. The submission holds, just like the previous match, were so sloppily applied that there is absolutely no way you could think they would be painful. Imagine someone basically crouching over your rear end and holding your legs up bent at the knee, while the rest of your body is totally straight. That's pretty much all it was. (5.5/10)
WWF Undisputed Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Chris Jericho
Immediately after winning, Jericho has to face Austin. And everything that Austin held back in his Angle match, perhaps knowing or realizing that it was a boring little affair repeated for the fifth or eighteenth time, unleashed on Jericho. The absolute best of the WWF on display, with Jericho barely hanging on, yet managing to look tough against Austin. Austin sells his gimmick so much, he would legitimately frighten me in real life... I couldn't imagine this guy reading a book, reading the newspaper beyond the sports section or the comics, or being able to understand the whole concept of kayfabe. But he does. And he sells it to perfection.
I would have rated this pay per view as average, 3/5 stars, and this match a full 10/10 if it weren't for the fact that this is supposed to be Jericho's night; he's supposed to have completed his journey from his debut in 1999, from his time in WCW before that, ECW, independent wrestling, all just to make it to the big time, to be at the top of the WWF, the last standing major wrestling promotion in the US! And they screw him out of this.
They screw Jericho out of that glory. Because during the match, every loser from the previous match and his asshole come and interfere. First Angle beats up Austin, then The Rock beats up Jericho, then Earl Hebner is knocked out, then Vince McMahon attacks Austin, and sends Nick Patrick out. Then Ric Flair comes and stops Patrick from counting. Austin beats up McMahon. Then Booker T (who should be kayfabe fired) comes and attacks Austin, and Jericho picks up the pin.
So according to the WWF, Stone Cold Steve Austin is their unstoppable juggernaut, and Chris Jericho, a former ECW and WCW superstar despite being in the WWF for two years, isn't good enough to make history by himself---he needs three men and a crooked referee to try and defeat Austin. Pathetic. (5/10)
WWF arrogance at its best, Jericho is nothing more than the random twit who happens to get lucky against the WWF's untouchable superstar who absolutely cannot lose too many matches cleanly, Stone Cold Steve Austin. I love Austin as a wrestler, I think he's one of the best in the business. I know he has legitimate technical prowess despite the WWF making him a brawler. But for god's sake... the WWF, taking a page out of WCW's book (just like today) just can't let go of their tried and true top guys for a little while and let a new rising star reach the top. So what if Jericho is a heel? That doesn't mean heels are inferior superstars, or that he doesn't deserve to cleanly beat the best guy in the company for its top prize. Horrible.

Scotty 2 Hotty & Albert vs Test & Christian
This match was alot boring. The referee allowed too much tag team interfearence. Otherwise, Albert picks up the victory for him and Scotty 2 Hotty with a powerbomb 2/5
Winner: Albert & Scotty 2 Hotty
Edge(Champion) vs William Regal for the Intercontinental Championship
This match was better than I thought. In the beggining Regal hits Edge on the ring post. There is a lot of high risk manuvers in the match. In the middle of the match Edge speats the steel steps. Regal tries to hit Edge with the bronx knuckles but Edge hits the spear. 3/5 Winner and still Intercontinental Champion Edge
Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy Lita Special Guest Referee
This was one of the best matches. Jeff Hardy does a lot of moves from the top rope. One time Matt Hardy catches him with a slam on the back. When Jeff Hardy goes to the top again and Matt Hardy tries to stop him but he gets slammed on his face and Jeff Hardy hits the Swantoon. Matt Hardy gets his foot on the bottom rope but Lita was only looking at the shoulders of Matt Hardy
Winner: Jeff Hardy
Dudely Boyz w/ Stacy Keibler(Champions) vs Big Show & Kane
This was an awsome match. There were alot of near falls. Kane jumps from the top rope to the outside and Big Show strips her to her pannies. Then he spanks her. The Dudleys catch Big Show off guard and hit him with a catapult onto the exposed turnbuckle
3/5 Winner and still tag team champions The Dudley Boyz
Rob Van Dam(Champion) vs Undertaker for the Hardcore Championship
This match starts off in the crowd. Undertaker pushes the rail on the face of Rob Van Bam to start choking him. Rob Van Dam shoots some os the fluid of the fire extinguisher on Undertaker then he hits him with a trash can. Next Rob Van Dam jumbs from the seats above the exit sign and hits a croosbody. Undertaker hits Rob Van Dam's head on the screen on the entrance stage and tries for the lastride. Rob Van Dam reveres it and Undertaker gets hit with rolling thunder. Then gets hit with the Vandaminator. Then the Undertaker chokeslams Rob Van Da through the stage. 4/5
Winner and new Hardcore Champion Undertaker

Kurt Angle vs Steve Austin(champion) for the WWF Championship
There are a lot of suplexes in this match. Austin gets hit with a low blow and Angle hits the Angle Slam. Then he tries to hit the Stone Cold Stunner but instead Austin hits it. 4/5
Winner and still WWF Champion Steve Austin
The Rock vs Y2J
This was a good match. The Rock hits a DDT through a table and Vince tries to make The Rock loss after he goes for the People
's Elbow. Y2J gets a low blow and hits the Rock Bottom 5/5
