WWE Intercontinental Championship Match:
Rob Van Dam (c) vs. Eddie Guerrero
This match in my opinion was a very exciting match-up that was cut too short in length. The match still delivered a fast pace with some spectacular high flying manoeuvres although with a disappointing finish of RVD winning by dq. 7.5/10

Women's Tag Team Match
Jazz & Molly Holly vs. Trish Stratus & Jacqueline
Actually this match was actually quite entertaining where in general women matches are quite poor. This match in my opinion wasn't very special although it still was a watchable women's match-up. 6/10

Bradshaw vs. X-Pac
An alright match with a couple of highlights although all in all not too exciting. X-pac does get Powerbombed of the top rope and Bradshaw gets all bloody although the wrong person won this battle, X-pac in my opinion. 5.5/10

WWE Hardcore Championship:
Steven Richards (c) vs. Booker T
This match in my opinion was almost match of the night it was spectacular high flying hardcore match that you see between guys like Jeff Hardy & RVD. This match was still pretty brutal with a unique variety of weapons used such as trash cans, broomstick, sterling silver and tables. The match had multiple title changes which made the match more interesting. 8/10

Hardy Boyz vs. Shawn Stasiak & Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman
I did not see the point of this match Brock's match against Jeff Hardy at Backlash made him the huge heel character. It was short and above all else very boring with little of an arsenal of moves used. 5/10

WWE European Title
Spike Dudley (c) vs William Regal
Very disappointing four mins into the match and poor Spike has broken his ankle supposedly and then Regal beats him up. Then suddenly Spike rolls up Regal and wins. This wasn't a match. 3/10

Stone Cold vs. Big Show w/Ric Flair as guest Referee
This was the match that the crowd had been waiting for and it certainly delivered what it needed to do. Show dominates the first half of the match and then Stone cold with a cool Lou thez press from the top rope gaining him the advantage. Also tons of stunners in this match-up to Show, Nash and yes Ric Flair, an awesome match. 9/10

Triple H. vs. Undertaker
I was very surprised with this match it might've not been for the world title although throughout the match it seemed like a world title match. This match displayed plenty of nice moves by HHH & Taker a lot of reversals throughout the match engaging the audience to decide who the hell is going to win. The ropes also break during the match forcing the two to use each other as leverage. Fantastic match 9.5/10

Overall mark 53.5/80 making Insurrextion a B in which I believe that Insurrextion is the worth the money although do not be expecting a ppv with the calibre of Wrestlemania or Summerslam. Insurrextion was a good upgrade of the regular matches that you would see on Raw with 2 very superior matches. Thankyou for reading my review on WWE Insurrextion 2002.

Bradshaw vs X-pac

This was one of the better insurrextion events out of the 4. The opener and the double main events make this one worth a purchase, but this isn't a must get. Thanks for reading!

Intercontinental Championship
Eddie Guerrero vs. RVD
The international event started off well as guerrero and rvd put forth a good effort and a good solid wrestling match. We see the usual highflying moves from van dam and the dirty tacktics of eddie, so the two styles mixed well. The ending is a bit of a jip, but it dosen't take away to much from this solid contest.
4/5

Tag Team Match
Trish Stratus and Jacqueline vs. Jazz and Molly Holly
This was one of the better divas matches i would think. It had some good wrestling from one of the best women's wrestlers in trish and they worked pretty decent. Once again, it was average, but just nothing special, which was expected.
2.75/5

X-Pac vs. Bradshaw
Why in the world was this match on the card? Nothing special, as we see bradshaw(better known as jbl) dominate x-pac, until hall enterfered and helped him win the match. No doubt in my mind that this was a filler, because it really displayed the crappy version of the nWo at the time.
2/5

Hardcore Championship
Stevie Richards vs. Booker T
Your not going to see any kind of rvd/jeff hardy hardcore match here, but i can't complain. This had some solid action, which hardcore matches didn't really have at the time, and also a good use of weapons. The match got really crazy at the end and the aftermath was the usual hardcore title style as the belt changed hands a few times, which leads to the title going back to the person that came in with it.
3.75/5

The Hardy Boyz vs. Brock Lesnar and Shawn Stasiak
Once again, just like the xpac/bradshaw match, this was another filler. You had two guys that disliked each other in lesnar and stasiak, trying to beat the holy hell out of the hardyz and the match gets really boring because of that. Not many highflying spots by the hardyz either, so i don't think i will be watching this one again.
2/5

European Championship
Spike Dudley vs. William Regal
All this is is regal beating spike down, to where dudley gets injured and then he beats him down some more after. Nuff said.
0/5

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Big Show
Special Referee:Ric Flair
This was the suprise of the night as show put on one of the best performances in his career, if you can believe that. Flair made this very entertaining as well, getting involved at times. Some cool moments in the match, like a second rope lou thez press by austin on to show. Kevin nash would later get involved, but it didn't take away from this enjoyable contest. Austin pulled a good, entertaining match out of show and the aftermath is also something to take a look at.
4/5

Triple H vs. Undertaker
This was a raw vs. smackdown matchup, but it was a title caliber bout. This match told a good story, as taker ruined hhh's undisputed title run, so there was some bad blood between these two. As for the match, it had some clever counters, good wrestling action, and a nice pace. Once again, this match had entertaining spots, and in this one, the top rope breaks at one point. The match wasn't all that long in length, but it is a match that will keep you entertained throughout and it left me quite satisfied. A good main event to close out the show and it is worth noting, that most people favor this match over their later king of the ring encounter.
4.5/5

Overall, this is worth getting for the last two matches, that were very entertaining, even though not 5 star material. The mid-card only has a couple of standouts, but it dosen't take away from the event. I may have overrated this one, but i favor it to be one of the better international events.

Very good ppv for the U.K.

1.Rob Van Dam Vs. Eddie Guerrero.IC Title.Decent opener.7/10
2.Bradshaw Vs. X-Pac.Another good match until NWO interrupted.7/10

4.Jazz&Molly Holly Vs. Trish Stratus&Jacqueline.Pointless match.2/10
5.Hardy Boyz Vs. Shawn Stasiak&Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman.O.K. match.6.5/10
6. Steven Richards Vs. Booker T.Hardcore Championship.Great Hardcore Match with multiple title changes.8.5/10
7.Stone Cold Vs. Big Show w/Ric Flair as guest Ref.Awesome Match.9.5/10
8.Triple H. Vs. Undertaker.Very,Very good match.10/10

Overall a Fantastic PPV. If you want good quality action, buy this dvd now before its gone forever.

The RVD-Eddie Guerrero-IC title rematch was just as good as their Backlash encounter even with the DQ ending. The Trish Stratus/Jacqueline-Molly Holly/Jazz tag team match was a hard-hitting/solid bout. The X-Pac-Bradshaw match was not great but pretty good and the same goes for the Booker T-Steven Richards-Hardcore title match. The tag team match between The Hardy Boys & the team of Brock Lesnar & Shawn Stasiak(What?)was so-so with pretty solid action. The Spike Dudley-William Regal-European title match was a fast-pace,hard-hitting bout. The match between The Big Show & Steve Austin while slow at times,it was still a entertaining,hard-hitting brawl and the same goes for the match between The Undertaker & HHH but that match was not slow to say the least. I give this event a 7 out of 10.

I was at Insurrextion it was my 1st WWE event live and it was great being there live. It was an awesome feeling and I got to see the late Curt Hennig's last ever WWE match against Goldust. After watching the DVD however I must say it wasn't great watching it on TV. But it was still an OK event so I give it 4 stars.

Eddie Guerrero VS RVD: The preview said Eddie won the title a few days ago. Its a basic rematch that you'd see on Raw. A very good match but the ending sucked.

Trish @ Jackie VS Molly @ Jazz: Four women who can wrestle. Too bad I still dont care about women's wrestling.

Before the match we see Scott Hall and X-Pac talking. This was before Hall was fired and gained some weight, he actully looks healthy.

X-Pac VS Bradshaw: I believe this was when Bradshaw was waging war on a crappy version of NWO. This match sucked, I like Bradshaw as JBL instead.

Coach says the world title match is the most anticipated match in the history of the WWE. Talk about over selling an event that is just seen in the UK.

Steven Richards VS Booker T: I miss the hardcore title, it gave alot of wrestlers something to do. I dont care for either man and this match wasnt so great.

Hardy Boyz VS Shawn Stasiak and Brock Lensar: A stupid booked match. Lensar says he beat Stasiak on Raw that week, so why are they teaming? Oh because Hardys had booked a tag team match and he needed a partner. Anyways, a basic squash job and a waste of time. Fans really arent getting there money's worth so far.

Spike Dudley VS William Regal: Stupid match. Spike had a broken ankle, Regal had the match won but was too cocky and Spike rolled up Regal for the quick win.

Steve Austin VS Big Show: I remember when Show first came to thw WWF and they had a main event of Show-Austin. This one of the main reasons why I got this dvd. Ilike Austin's lou thez press off the second rope onto Show. Overall, best match on the card. The outside interference didnt take away from this match at all.

Triple H VS Undertaker: A rather short main event. It came off as a good, well paced match. I thought the ending was quick and just seemed like they wanted to get the match over with.

This card is worth it for the last two matches, even though the end of the main event lacked something.

We were in London at the Wembley Arena for this great UK show! After Cologne, Glasgow and Birmingham, it was the last date of the Spring european tour, and what a date!... RVD tried to win the Intercontinental belt in his match against Eddie Guerrero and made the Frog Splash on his opponent. The amazing lightweight Hardy Boys challenged Shawn Staziak with the mighty Brock Lesnar. Booker T won the Hardcore championship before going through a table and giving the title to ??...(thanks to Jazz). Stone Cold faced Big Show but all the NWO was in the arena to try to take him down. And Flair was the special guest referee!...
It was madness in the arena for the main event, when the Undertaker faced Triple H, the favorite WWE superstar of the crowd this night.After a reversal when Taker tried to shockslam HHH, The Game made a DDT and the Pedigree on his opponent to leave the ring victorious. And much more...
What a show! We hope to see WWE superstars back in Europe soon and, why not, in FRANCE.

It seems to me that everytime WWE has a ppv in England, it ain't that good, I bought this dvd to add to my ever growing collection, it's not really worth having after I watched it.
