5.0 out of 5 stars summerslam 2001 is a 5 star ppv, March 31, 2006

By	alex fryling "youngfry" (erie pa) - See all my reviews

80-76%-perfect
75-71%-awsome
70-66-good
65-61%-poor
60-56%-awful

1. Edge vs. Lance Storm for the ITC title- This was an average match. I liked there choice for this as there opener. I really started to like the in ring skills by both of these men and this was a good way to start off the ppv. Nothing special just some good soild wrestling. Winner and new wwe ITC champ Edge. Match Rating 7/10.

2 The dudleys and test vs. APA and spike dudley- This was your average filler but it turned out to be quite exciting. It was about 5 minutes long which i thought was the right choice for time length. There was non stop action and a really seewt spot were spike got pushed off the top rope through a table. Also i had not seen as sick of chair shot sience the michales tker hell in a cell match when shane McMahon hit bradshaw with a chair. Awsome stuff. Winners the dudleys and test. Match Rating 6.5/10.

3. X-Pac vs. Tajiri for the undisputed cruiserwieght title- This was also a good match. This was back when the wwe even cared a little bit about the cruiserwieghts now they jsut dont care at all. These guys put on a really good match and no slow spots that even kept me interested in the match and i would ask the wwe if theyt had more matches like these. Winner and undisputed cruiserwieght champ X-Pac. Match Rating 7/10.

4. Rhyno vs. Y2J- This was a good match as well with a storyline. It was just like the dge match at the same pace but maybe a little better. There were some nice spots one was when jerico came off the top rope and was gored in mid air by rhyno got to see to believe. This was just some good wrestling with intensity. not much else to say. Winner Y2J. Match rating 7.5/10.

5. Jeff Hardy vs. Rvd for the hardcore title in a ladder match- This was the first huge match of the night. This match was off the chain. I wish they would have used some more wepons because it was a hardcore match as well but that did not make the match any worse. Nice 20 minute match with alot of risks taken. One of my favorite parts of the match was the suplex off the top of the ladder. Realy good stuff by bith guys. Winner and new wwe hardcore champion RVD. Match Rating 9/10.

6. DDp and kanyon vs. taker and kane for the tag team titles in a steel cage match- This was not what you would call a good steel cage match. This was basically kane and taker dominating most of the match. It would have been better but there was to much one sided offense for me to enjoy. It was not bloddy at all and it was just boring for the most part. Still watchable but not that good. Winners and new tag team champs taker and kane. Match Rating 6.5/10.

7. Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold for the wwe title- This was match of the night in my opinion. This was an awsome storyline and the match lived up to its hype. It started out with great intensity and contiued throughtout the match. Lots of blood in this match. Tons of =false finishes in this match which you wont want to miss. Also angles hits his famous moonsault in this match and it was a thing of beauty. All of the false finishes are great. The ending sucks but it does not hurt the match to much. Winner kurt angle by DQ but still wwe champ stone cold. Match Rating 9/10.

8. The rock vs. Booker T for the WCW title- This was a great way to close off the ppv. It was great to see the rock make his return. I think this match played out the way it was supposed to. Some good action by shane McMahon and non stop all the way through. I thought that booker might accualty retain. Also a nicxe rvenge spot were the apa layed out shane mcmahon. Winner and new wcw champ The rock. Match Rating 8.5/10.

Well that raps up another. I would give summersalm 2001 a grade of 61/80 which is a 76% which means this is a perfect ppv. I thnk that is a good grade. If you can tell me if my review was helpful or not i would appericate that. Thnks for your time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular!, September 16, 2001

By A Customer

This has been one of the best if not the best ppv of the year... I sure thought it was better than Wrestlemania... matches included Ladder Match RVD vs. Jeff Hardy(show stealer), Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold, The Rock vs. Booker T, Plus Taker tought DDP his lesson once and for all in a CAGE MATCH.. and many more great matches. Did I forget to say that Stephanie McMahon was wearing some short, shorts! and she gets smooched on by non other than Y2J who took on RHYNO in another great match up... I was there in person and trust me it was Great... I sat 3rows from the ring!

*Extra features include: Women's Match on HeAT this match was right before the PPV. Undertaker and Kane are interviewed as well as Booker T & Shane O Mac. Austin Appreciation Night along with the alliances version of "Wind Beneath My Wings" Renamed to "Wind beneath our ring" led by the beautiful Stephanie McMahon, Shortly after the song KURT ANGLE comes out in a MILK TRUCK! And Hoses the alliance down!!! HILARIOUS!

5.0 out of 5 stars WWE Summerslam 2001: One Word=Excellent , August 18, 2005

By	Sniper3:16 (Perth, WA, Australia) - See all my reviews

WWE Summerslam 2001: One Word=Excellent

WWF Intercontinental Championship
Lance Storm (c) vs. Edge
I rarely enjoy the opening matches of wwe pay per views because nine times out of ten they are pretty boring. Although this match was fast paced and solid that quickly grasped my attention. Edge and Storm matched up really well with each other a lot of great manoeuvres displayed by both of them making it really hard to determine the victor. Christian's interference did not discredit the match at all I though it placed more excitement into it making Edge's victory more greatly deserved. 8.5/10

Spike Dudley & the APA vs. Test & the Dudley Boyz
A brutal and solid six man tag team match resulting in Spike being brutally double teamed throughout the match. APA did their best although Shane O Mac comes to Test's aid and saves the day for the alliance. Good Match 6.5/10

Light-Heavyweight championship vs. Crusierweight Championship
X-Pac vs. Tajiri
A great high flying match between these two in which I did not expect. X-pac to me is an average wrestler although here in this match he really impressed me with picking up the win. 8/10

Rhyno vs. Chris Jericho
A very solid match between these two that was better than expected. Rhyno gores Jericho as he was flying in mid-air on the outside. Steph gets lip-locked off the apron that leads to Rhyno tapping the walls of Jericho. 7.5/10

WWF Hardcore Title Ladder Match
Rob Van Dam vs. Jeff Hardy (c)
Two great hardcore competitors meet in the first ever ladder match for the WWF hardcore championship. Ladders were used in a variety of fashions such as Suplex of the ladder, power bombs of the ladder and leg drops on ladder etc. Fantastic match! in which where the crowd did not care who won because they are both fan favourites. 10/10

Cage Match for WWF tag team championships vs. WCW tag Team championships
Kane & Undertaker vs. DDP & Kanyon
Not a great technical match although a hell of an ass-kicking of a match. Undertaker & Kane dominated the entire match and then finally let Kanyon go and the two brothers beat the absolute crap out of DDP. A match to only see WCW gets the hell beaten out of them which is still entertaining enough. 7/10

WWF Championship Match
Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (c)
This wasn't a wrestling match it was more like a street fight. Angle gets all bloody from getting thrown into the ring post about 8 times. Austin receives a couple of suplexes on the floor and Angle gets about 4 stunners throughout the match and still kicks out. Also about four referees get taken out by Austin and then finally he gets dq by WCW ref who gets the ankle lock by Angle. 10/10 One of Stone cold's best match and Austin does not get angle slammed off the top rope which some reviewer said in their review before.

WCW Championship Match
The Rock vs. Booker T (c)
Great match between Booker T and the Rock in which where we see the Rock bottom vs. the bookend. Shane O Mac appears gets clotheslined by Bradshaw and then rockbottomed on the floor by The Rock. I love the ending where Booker T had everything going for him and then suddenly ROCKBOTTEM!!!! Great match although Austin vs. Angle should've been the main event. 9/10

66.5/80 which is 80% making Summerslam 2001 in my opinion was just as great as WM17 every match delivered what it needed to do which makes this DVD essential to any wwe DVD collector. Thankyou for reading my review on WWF Summerslam 2001.
