I guess I shouldn't have expected much from a random PPV event from 2003, but I got it anyway. I was expecting lots of raw power wrestling, brutality from Evolution, and I got that, so I can't say I was disappointed there, but there were plenty of other disappointments to bring this down a star/star and a half.

Mark Henry vs Booker T

Oh wow... any match you put Mark Henry in tends to be an utter disaster. He's unbelievably fat and so stiff it's impossible to see him doing much more than squinting his beady little eyes till they're invisible beneath those massive rolls of fat, and go and hug someone in a "bearhug". Booker T couldn't do anything as he was being dominated by Henry and his five moves of doom. (0/10)

Randy Orton vs Rob Van Dam

Randy Orton can wrestle! And Rob Van Dam is one of a kind. Putting them in here together is a chance for stellar happenings. Unfortunately, the momentum of the match was brought to a screeching and disgustingly disappointing halt many many many times by Randy Orton's lame chokeholds and half-assed, half-hearted submissions, keeping Rob Van Dam down on the ground for minutes at a time, dragging the match to a total stop while the fans boo. I'm sure if smarter fans populated the arena, you'd have "WE WANT WRESTLING" chants being hurled at Orton. If it was just Orton trying to sell the whole "Evolution is evil and I'm evil" angle, he could've done something other than ruin what could have been the best match of the night. (7/10 and that's being generous)

Chris Jericho and Christian vs Lita and Trish Stratus

Lol. That's sort of the reaction I had to this sort of match. Since WWE refuses to have their Women's division be anything more than eye candy with five actual wrestling moves, this one disappointed. Really there was little redeeming factors here---Trish slaps, and Lita does some Hurricanranas, and the boys just sort of taunt the girls and do a few moves. (3/10)

Shawn Michaels vs Batista

I'm not usually one to like power wrestlers like Batista, but he just really sold his skill and charisma, and became every inch the "Animal" of Evolution, that I fell in love with him, and made me a fan of his power style. He works great as a heel, and doesn't particularly work as the face he is now, dressing in those cheap suits and sunglasses and making dorky speeches about "yknow i respect the undertaker, an i love him and such, but i want the dubdubee heavyweight title, yknow?". Michaels is his usual self, and carries Batista greatly. (8/10)

Maven vs Matt Hardy

No match. Nothing started, no pins. Maven and Matt Hardy fight on the outside while Batista fumes in the ring at his loss, then Maven is thrown in and destroyed by Batista. Matt tries to pin him but no referee will count. Not a match.

Tag Team Turmoil Match

La Resistance vs The Hurricane and Rosey vs Garrison Cade and Mark Jindrak vs The Dudley Boys (C) vs Scott Steiner and Test vs Batista and Ric Flair

This match varied on who was fighting. Some teams like Mark Jindrak and Garrison Cade were on fire and really fueling the match, whereas other teams like Steiner (steroids) and Test just brought it to a stop. Test does some power wrestling, but Steiner quite literally does nothing distinguishable as wrestling. An elbow drop or two, a few slams, nothing really impressive. Batista and Ric Flair are announced at the last minute as the seventh team and they defeat the Dudley Boys for the championship. (7/10)

Women's Championship Match

Molly Holly (C) vs Ivory

No. Just no. If WWE refuses to make anything of its Women's division, they shouldn't be putting them in matches on pay per view. (0/10)

World Heavyweight Championship

Goldberg (C) vs Kane vs Triple H

Okay so this one went well all things considered. "All things considered" means taking into account that HHH and Kane teamed up against Goldberg for about 90% of the match, and HHH played the cowardly heel gimmick way too much, panicking at Kane while he made some of his most ugliest faces ever. Goldberg really doesn't get to do much, as maybe midway through the match he's put through the Spanish announcer's table and is out for all but the very end of the match. All in all, it was a bit fun... about enough to be considered a great match for an average TV appearance of RAW. (6.5/10)

All in all... solid. Disappointing, yes, maybe, but solid. Something that I wish we'd see more of in the new WWE modern days where athleticism is sacrificed in the name of predictability and boring talent-less matches.

I am doing a review on Armageddon 2003 and I use a grading system. Each match recieves a grade and the shows score is determined by dividing the match scores by the number of matches. The grading system is as follows.

Match One-Booker T Vs Mark Henry-This was a back and forth match which was a good choice for the opener, it had a bit of interference by Theodore Long. Mark Henry is a useless wrestler and shouldn't be here. Booker deserves a lot better then this. Hopefull this is the end of this feud as it was a clean ending. Lots of near falls making this a lot better then you'd think. My rating 6/10.

Match Two-Intercontinental Championship-Special Referee-Mick Foley-RVD(C)Vs Randy Orton-Good match with lots of near falls and action. Foley as ref added just a bit of spice with the future possibility of him vs Randy which would be very good. Randy did a lot of dominating RVD in this match and it was good cocky heel tactics. This was one of the better matches on the card. Hopefully they do this match again down the track with maybe a gimmick match. Very surprise ending which I liked. My rating 7.4/10.

Match Three-Battle Of The Sexes-Trish Stratus & Lita VS Y2J & Christian-First things first why the hell weren't Y2J & Christian put into the tag turmoil match instead of this garbage. This match was poor quality but what can you expect? This whole match absolutely sucked especially the ending which meands this will continue but hopefully this ends it with Trish and Y2J being back together and Matt Hardy returning to gain Lita again. Please WWE give us some matches we can care about. My rating 0/10.

Match Four-Batista Vs Shawn"HBK"Michaels-This all started at Survivor Series when Batista screwed HBK out of saving Austins career. This had the quickness and experience of HBK versing the power of Batista. Batista returned a bit over a month earlier and has rampaged through everyone. Lots of work done on HBK's back in this match. Great ending in this match with a couple of finisher counters in it. My rating 6.25/10.

Match Five-Matt Hardy Vs Maven-Batista was in a foul mood and killed Maven then Matt jumped in the ring and counted a three count for himself and announced himself winner. Killed possibility of a good match. My rating 1/10.

Match Six-Tag Team Turmoil Match-Tag Team Titles-Dudley Boyz(C)Vs Mark Jindrak & Garrison Cade Vs Val Venis & Lance Storm Vs The Hurricane & Rosey Vs La Resistance Vs Test & Scott Steiner-What do you do with lots of misfit wrestlers and many great tag teams? You put them in a tag team turmoil match. This had many good teams and it was solidly built. There are many upsets and surprises in this match especially the ending is a good surprise. So sit back and enjoy many styles of tag team wrestling. My rating 6.35/10.

Match Seven-Womens Championship-Molly Holly(C)Vs Ivory-This was announced on the show. The returning Ivory may be a good wrestler but this just wasn't a good match. My rating 3/10.

Match Eight-Main Event-World Heavyweight Championship-HHH Vs Kane Vs Goldberg(C)-This was an average triple threat match. It was nowhere as good as past triple threat matches and it was a little weird the style. The finish was a little screwed but it still was alright. Hopefully this feud is over once and for all. My rating 7/10.

This show received 370 out of 800 which is 46.25% which is equivelant to a C-. This was an average PPV to end this year on. Hopefully there's better next year.

1. Booker T vs. Mark Henry 6/10 this match wasnt that good i wasnt expecting this to be good.
2.Rob Van Dam vs. Randy Ortan 8/10 this match was a good Intercontinental match just Randy won usually who wins isnt included in my ratings but i hate Randy so much this counts
3.Trish and Lita vs. Jerico and Christian 5/10 in the words of stone cold BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
4.Maven vs. Matt Hardy never happened
5.Tag Team Turmoil 9/10 i liked this match even though evoultion won
6.Molly vs. Ivory 6/10 not a good woman match
7.Kane vs. Triple H vs. Goldberg 10/10 even though HHH won i liked this match first cause Kane was in it.(only reason i like Kane is cause he is going aganst the Undertaker at W XX) i like goldberg too sure the cheating at the end was gay it was still cool
this ppv DVD would be nothing without the 13 extras yes 13 probly all them togather 30 mins maybe 45 so overall 9/10

Ok I hear all kinds of bad reviews bout this PPV, but it wasnt that bad.
1) Booker T vs Mark Henry
averged match 6.7/10

2) RVD vs Randy Oarton I.C Title
great title match 7.6/10

3) HBK vs Batista
one of the best matches of the night. 8.1/10

4) Y2J/Christian vs Trish/Lita Battle of Sexes
stupid match, but nice to see Christian get his ass kicked. 6.1/10

5) Matt Hardy vs Maven
match never even got started thanx to Batista

6)Tag Team Tomurial match
good match,disapointing ending 7.9/10

7) Molly Holly vs Ivory Womens Title
I didnt like it, I see it on RAW and Heat and it was kinda boring. 5/10

8) Kane vs HHH vs Goldberg World Title
at first I thought this match was gonna suck, but I was wrong, the match was pretty godd, infact the best best match of the night, but again a disapointing ending. 9/10

Well maybe one reason almost everyone didnt like this PPV because Evolution won all the gold. I think they should of kept the Hardy/Maven and Ivory/Molly matches out. It would been better. Still not a bad PPV, Ive seen better, but not a bad Raw show.

1) Mark Henry vs. Booker T
The match overall was boring and Booker T won the match in the end.Not a very good opener 3/10

2) Y2J & Christian vs. Lita & Trish
It was not a good match, Y2J and Christian won as expected- if the women have won, the match could be interesting) In the end Christian gets really happy (as if he did something big but Y2J is not -some signs for a story line involving Trish and Y2j:) As a big Y2J fan I felt really sorry for seieing him wrestling girls while he could go and challange for a title 4/10

3) HBK vs. Batista
It was a very good match where Batista dominated HBK through out of the match but HBK managed to win by countering the sit up powrbomb to a super kick. Batista goes nuts and destroys maven who was thrown in the ring by Matt Hardy who he was going to face next. 9/10

4)Maven vs. Matt Hardy
Actually there were no figh besides the furious batista powerbombing Maven like a mad man and leaving him lying unconciouss in the ring. Then Matt Hardy announces him as the winner. I think he really manages well to act like an idiot!

4) RVD vs. Randy Orton 4 The Inrercontinental Championship
It was a good match with good moves, both wrestlers proved how talented they are and Orton is the new IC Champ after delivering RVD a RKO 8.5/10

5)Molly vs. Ivory 4 the womens championship
Nothing special in this match, molly wins 2/10

6) Tag Team turmoil 4 the Tag Team Championship
Good tag team action with the dudleys come on top BUT then Eric Bishoff adds Batista and Flair to the match and they beat the h*ll out of the already tired dudleyz and become the new wwe tag champions. I think it was good for the dudleyz to lose their titles to Evolution because everybody in the group is(or was) a champion except Batista and now he also has his belt. 8/10

7)Triple Threat Match for the WWE Heavyweight championship
It was a good match. All the 3 of them worked and performed very well in the ring and Triple H (not suprisingly with the help of evolution :) retained his belt by pinning goldberg. I am really glad that goldberg finally lost the title because he is so exaggerated that no one can withstand him but now he is defated. Still sad for Kane since he deserves to be the champ for a long time 8.5/10
Now all the members of the Evolution is a champ and yet they are the most dominant force on RAW- they have all the gold on RAW expext the women's title. Yet Armegaddon was a decent ppv if you love evolution buy it, if you love HBK buy it but if you love Y2J seing him wrestling with girls do not :)

I see that we don't have too many fans of this one. I can't say I blame the negative reactions. ARMAGEDDON 2003 isn't exactly a successful PPV. There are a few good things to say about, but if you wanna read about them, get ready for a lot of junk.

1) Mark Henry (w/ Teddy Long) v. Booker T

---Well, I can't say that I was looking forward to this one, and I can't say that it's a good way to start a show. However, it's not as awful as it looks. Booker sold really well for Henry, and the pace was brisk enough so that we didn't get too bored watching Henry dominate. Also, the crowd made a considerable amount of noise to keep this one watchable for TV viewers. All I can say is that this one won't blow away anyone's minds, but it's tolerable for one viewing.

"5.0 / 10"

2) Intercontinental Championship

Special Referee - Mick Foley (RAW Co-GM)

Randy Orton v. Rob Van Dam (champion)

---For whatever reason, Orton came outto run his mouth, which prompted Foley to shut him up and start the match earlier than what (I guess) they originally planned. But that doesn't really matter, because RVD and Orton put together a very strong contest. We get to see a nice belnd of grounded submission holds and fancy reversals. The time length was just right, giving both men enough time to show off their skills. This match was crucial in getting Orton's career, and RVD ended his IC Title reign on a strong note. My favorite match on the card.

"8.0 / 10"

____________________________________________

3) Battle of the Sexes

Chris Jericho & Christian v. Trish Stratus & Lita

---I don't know why this one gets criticized so much. So, let's look at the storyline and the in-ring physicality. The angle was kinda dumb, as two Canadian jerks had a bet over getting their respective ladies into bed. This story was offensive, but it definitely got a reaction from the crowd. So although it made for dull TV, it got the live audience going. As for the wrestling, I actually thought it was decent storytelling. Christian tried to embarass the Divas, Jericho was reluctant to use his full strength, and Lita & Trish were gonna go out in a blaze of glory in their mismatched situatiion. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a must-see match. But it's not nearly as awful as most have made it out to be.

"6.0 / 10"

4) Shawn Michaels v. Batista

---I think a lot of people forget how impressive Batista was during his Evolution years. As a heel, he was one of the scariest competitors on RAW's roster. Only after his first title victory did his style start to become stale for a few years. In December 2003, Randy Orton was already in a couple marquee matches, but Dave Batista needed this one to jumpstart his career. Shawn Michaels has always been a great performer to bring newer talent into the fold. In my opinion, HBK and Batista not only did an excellent job of making the other look good, I don't think they've had a better one-on-one match since then. It's still amazing to see how well HBK's stick-and-move strategy meshes with the powerhouse style of Batista. If there's one negative aspect about this match, it's that it literally cancelled the next match.

"8.0 / 10"

____________________________________________

5) Maven v. Matt Hardy

---As I said, the end of the HBK/Batista contest is the beginning of this one. Basically, The Animal got so ticked off that he destroyed Maven. Even though the referees cancelled the match, Matt Hardy insisted on being awarded the pinfall victory. Yeah, I don't get it either. I mean, this isn't boring or anything, but I find it sad that this is the second time that Matt Hardy had a forfeited match from a 2003 PPV.

"3.0 / 10" (inflated because it was to push the Evolution angle)

____________________________________________

6) Tag Team Turmoil - World Tag Team Championships

---There are a total eight teams in this gauntlet-style match, most of them being just two RAW superstars thrown together. This one constantly gets good, then gets boring, and then back and forth from start to finish. There are tag contests that excite us, and some that are so short you've no idea when they started. Having Ric Flair and Batista entered in at the last moment is still a great moment; I always loved Eric Bischoff, and he's the epitome of jackass. I also loved Evolution, so I enjoyed the finish. But the match as a whole is very inconsistent. I think what I took away from this 19-minute Tag Team Turmoil is that longer does not necessarily mean better.

"5.5 / 10"

____________________________________________

7) Women's Championship

Molly Holly (champion) v. Ivory

---What a sad disappointment this was. I can understand that it was a bonus match, but if I can't fathom how these two ladies just couldn't get it together. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler kept commenting on whether Molly was sexually frustated, Ivory just looked like she hadn't performed in quite some time, and overall this was a poor display for the women's division. It would take almost another whole year before Trish Stratus and Lita would get the Divas matches back on track.

"3.0 / 10"

____________________________________________

8) World Heavyweight Championship

Triple H v. Kane v. Goldberg (champion)

---Our main event for ARMAGEDDON 2003 is an acceptable way to close the show, but not an exciting one. The biggest problem is that the moves don't have the impact that they should. The weak link that caused this problem would be Goldberg. I kinda enjoyed some of his matches in the WWE, but on this night, he was pretty sloppy. He oversold some punches, and undersold others. Whenever he would tackle Kane, the timing between the two was way off. And it didn't help that his Spanish annoucer table spot(s) unconvincingly put him out of action. Triple H and Kane used some neat storytelling to keep things going, with both men reluctantly working together, only to have them inevitably fight it out. Because the match is kept to a nice pace and features some good moments, I enjoyed it. But, it's not exactly RAW's finest main event.

"6.5 / 10"

____________________________________________

I've always considered ARMAGEDON 2003 to be a throwback to The Four Horsemen. The Evolution faction gained all of RAW's gold, played the numbers game effectively, and found success even in defeat. Two of Evolution's matches were some of 2003's finest, while the others were passable. It's a shame the rest of the card didn't come together. If Booker T & Mark Henry weren't in the opener, they would've bored a lot more people. Maven & Matt hardy deserved better than what they got. And the Divas really got shafted with a poor Women's Title Match & an offensive intergender angle.

I recommend you try to find Evolution's matches on YouTube for free. But if you can't, then only buy this DVD at a very cheap price. It isn't as horrible as most have claimed it to be, but it's still a letdown.

This is Mudd. This PPV was basically to show Evolution's dominance. I believe that nobody likes it because Evolution wins all the gold and nobody likes Evolution.

Booker T vs. Mark Henry was a good way to kick off Armageddon. These 2 had a pretty good beef and I thought this was an okay match and Booker picks up the win. (6/10)

Rob Van Dam vs. Randy Orton for the IC Title. This was one of the better matches of the PPV. It got me out of my seat and actually rooting for RVD to retain but Orton wins it. (8.5/10)

Chris Jericho & Christian vs. Lita & Trish Stratus in a Battle of the Sexes Match. Yes, I know this match is bad but still watch it because it has Christian & Y2J in it. Anyways they win the match and like they weren't. (5.5/10)

Shawn Michaels vs. Batista was a good match and could have been better if it was NO DQ. They screwed Stone Cold and they have a regular match and it's over and at least HBK wins for Austin. (8/10)

Maven vs. Matt Hardy wasn't even a match and the only reason I'm reviewing it is for the beatdown on Maven by Batista and then Matt covered Maven to win. (3.5/10)

La Resistance vs. Hurricane & Rosey vs. Mark Jindrak & Garrison Cade vs. Dudley Boys vs. Scott Steiner & Test vs. Ric Flair & Batista for the World Tag Titles. This was a great match and the Dudleyz some how retained and then Flair & Batista come down and pin the Dudleyz and we have new tag champs. (7.5/10)

Molly Holly vs. Ivory for the Women's Title. This match is not worth seeing and you should just skip to the World Title match. Molly reatins her title. (4.5/10)

Goldberg vs. Triple H vs. Kane in a No Disqualifications match for the World Title. Nothing to great and Triple H wins the World Title back thanks to Evolution and the fact that it was NO DQ saved this match because there was power in all 3 corners. (8/10)

This PPV wasn't very good but I would suggest buying it even though it is only 3 stars and this is a high 3 stars but not a 4. THe best match was probably RVD vs. Orton.

Booker T. vs. Mark Herny- Henry sucks so bad. Okay match, booker has nothing to work with here. At least Booker won. 2/5

Randy Orton vs. RVD- Great match, probably match of the night. Randy wins his first title in a good back and forth match. These two put on great matches. 5/5

Y2J/CLB vs. Trish/Lita- Way to make the guys look weak! This wasn't a good match, and it's only purpose was to further the Y2J/Trish/Christian angle. 2/5

Batista vs. HBK- Good match. Batista's first good match. HBK can make anyone look good. HBK needed a win and he got it. Batista still comes off looking good later... 4/5

Matt Hardy vs. Maven- Not a match. Batista destroys Maven. Move along. 0/5

Tag Team Turmoil- Okay I guess. I don't care for most of these tag teams. Damn, who in this match is still in WWE? Flair and Batista win this one to capture the Tag Titles. 3/5

Molly Holly vs. Ivory- SKIP!

HHH vs. Goldberg vs. Kane- I liked this match. Not the best triple threat match, but still good. All three looked good here. HHH wins the title. Evolution has all the gold. 4/5

Overall, Armageddon was pretty average. RVD/Orton, Batista/HBK, and the Triple Threat were the good matches. Rent it.

1.Booker T vs.Mark Henry

It was a good choice for a opener. This was the average big man vs.little man match. The only problem with this was that it was to long IMO. Also Teddy Long (Henry's manager) didn't do any heelish stuff in this match like distracting the ref. Booker T did all he could to overcome the 350 pound giant and he did. Booker T wins after 2 Sisscors Kicks. 8/10

2.Intercontinential Championship

Randy Orton vs.Rob Van Dam

The match actually started as a promo with Mick Foley and Stacy Kiebler. Then Orton along with Ric Flair came out and basically told Foley(who was the guest ref of the match) to start the match-up. I think this was the match of the night. Orton was at his best while RVD wasn't to sharp, he only got in a few kicks. Some spots were boring because Orton applied the headlock to many times. My only problem with this match was the Orton was in control for most of the match. Orton win with a RKO out of nowhere. 8.5/10

3.Chris Jericho/Christian vs.Trish Stratus/Lita

I don't why everyone hated this match this was actually good. The ladies did their absolute best against Y2J and CLB, hell they even embarressed them a couple times. Jericho was tring to be the peacemaker in this match tring to aplogize to Trish but she would have none of it. As expected, Y2J and CLB win. 8/10

4.Batista vs.Shawn Micheals

This was a okay match. Like the first match, it was a typical big man vs.small man match. The contest went back and forth. At one point I thought Batista was going to pull an upset after he hit Micheals with two spinebusters in a row. But Micheal shook it off and countered The Powerbomb with a SCM and wins. 7.5/10

5.Matt Hardy vs.Maven

This technically wasn't the match because both wrestlers were scared to enter the ring cause Batista was still whining about his loss to Micheals. The Hardy threw Maven into the ring to get demolished by Batista. After he left, Hardy counted himself a pinfall. What a waste of time. 5/10

6.Tag Team Termoil

This was another okay match. It started off slow but then picked up after The Dudley Boyz entered the contest. But then it got boring again when Scott Stiener and Test entered the ring. Then when the Dudleyz thought they retained their titles, Eric Bischoff come out and announces the team of Ric Flair and Batista. They litterily won the titles in like 2-3 minutes. 7.5/10

7.Women's Chamionship

Ivory vs.Molly Holly

Skipable just a match filler.

8.World Heavyweight Championship

Triple H vs.Kane vs.Goldberg

I was really looking foward to this match. Three of the biggest stars on Raw go at it for the World Heavyweight Championship. But as I saw the match I was dissapointed. This was basiclly a handicap match with both Kane and Triple H teaming up on Goldberg. Kane was still beating up Goldberg and Triple H hit him with a chair WTF!? Triple H wins after he low blows Goldberg and Kane chokeslamms him, and is pulled away by Batista. 8/10

This was overall a average PPV. Half of the matches were average and dissapointing. But if your're a Evolution fan buy this PPV cause they win all the titles here.

1. BOOKER T vs MARK HENRY

I never knew Mark Henry was able to give a good performance. Probably because Booker is in the match. Nice moves by booker including 2 scissors kicks. the second to get the pin. ****

2. ROB VAN DAM vs RANDY ORTON (INTERCONTINENTAL)

(SPECIAL REF: Mick Foley)

An awesome match. Nice moves and Orton starts evolutions big night. Foley actually counted the three. A big stuff up but still a good match. ****1/2

3. TRISH STRATUS & LITA vs CHRIS JERICHO & CHRISTIAN

Didn't know who to go for. I like lita but hate Trish. I like Y2J but hate Christian. An alright match to be honest. Not the best but the gals do well. ****

4. SHAWN MICHAELS vs BATISTA (w/Ric Flair)

A good match. Batista over powers Michaels but in like so many of his awesome matches HBK hits the sweet chin music and gets the pin despite Flair watching. ****

5. MATT HARDY vs MAVEN

Time filler. maven gets destroyed by Batista who hasn't left the ring since his loss to HBK. *

6. DUDLEY BOYZ vs SCOTT STEINER & TEST vs LA RESISTANCE vs MARK JINDRAK & GARRISSON CADE vs HURRICANE & ROSEY vs WILLIAM REGAL & LANCE STORM vs ??? (WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES)

Good match but would have been better if everyone was in at once. Wanted Hurricane and Rosey to win but the dumb Dudleyz won. Or so we thought. After they thought they'd won evolution came down and destroyed them to become tag champs. (Batista and Ric Flair) ****1/2

7. GOLDBERG vs KANE vs TRIPLE H (HEAVYWEIGHT)

The three most dominating men on raw in the one ring. Thought and wanted Kane to win. Triple H wins again after evolution interfered. surprise surprise. Kane chokeslammed Goldberg but Batista held Kane back long enough for HHH to get the pin. My favourite of the night. Evolution all champs. *****
