1.The dudleys vs. La Resistance for the world tag team titles- This was a good choice for an opener. I always like the idea of tag team matches for an opener. It was well paced not to long and not to short. It helped because the crowd was really into this and la Resistance got booed. Winners and still world tag team champs La Resistance. Match Rating 7/10

2. Undertaker vs. The A-train- I dont know what they were thinking putting the undertaker in a match with the undertaker. #1 it is summerslam which is the second biggest ppv of the year. Also the a- train is not in the undertakers league in wrestling. Even with all of that said an okay match. Better than i expected. Winner Undertaker. Match Rating 5/10

3. Shane McMahon vs. Eric Bishoff- I was hoping to get a little more out of this match up. Once they made the no dq rule i was really looking foward to see what was going to be done. They did not use the no dq rule much at all. I think it was good that the crowd was into it but it could have been better. There is a sweet table spot in this match. Winner Shane McMahon. Match Rating 7/10

4. Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Beniot vs. Rhyno vs. Tajiri for the US title- This was a really good match. It was the second best of the night in my opinion. It was non stop action and I think that wwe could have used rhyno and tajiri alot better than they did. All of the men put alot into the match and gave it there best effort. Match Rating 9/10. Winner and still us champ eddie Guerrero.

5. Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesner for the WWE title- The best match of the night by far. These 2 put on another on another classic. Not as good as there wrestlemania battle but still very good. This was the match that kept u on the edge of your seat. Even angle got a nice pop as a face. There is 2 nice chair spots used here. At one point i thought that lesner was going to take the title back from angle. Very Good Match. Match Rating 10/10. Winner and still wwe champ Kurt Angle.

6. Kane vs. Rob Van Dam in a no dq match- This was another match that i was looking foward to when they added the no dq but i felt it did not live up to its hype. I think there were not alot of itmes used but there was a few nice chair shots. OIverall an okay match. Winner Kane. Match Rating 6/10

7. HHH vs. Randy Orton vs. shawn Michales vs. Kevin Nash vs. Goldberg vs. Y2J in an elimination Chamber for the world heavy Wieght Title- This is a really hard match to rate. I thought it was preatty good because it was my first chamber match that i watched. It was called the worst chamber match out of all 3. There are some nice spots in this match and it is good to see goldberg back. Winner and still world heavywieght champ HHH. Match Rating 8/10.

WEll that is my review. I thought summerslam had some good parts and quite a few bad ones. The rating is a 75% which = a good ppv but only by one percent. I would try to find it under $20. I would like it if you dont mind to tell me if my reviwe was good or not. You can also check out my other ones vengence 2005, Unforgiven 2005,wrestlemania xx, and tboo tusday 2005. Thank you for your time.

I have been a wrestling fan since 1996 and have watched all kinds of wrestling. I have a wrestling DVD/VHS collection spanning over 50 all together. This is the most complete and accurate review of this DVD you will find. I hope you find this review helpful; remember to vote helpful or not helpful. (Note-Each DVD I review has a "Match of the DVD" award somewhere in it.)

WWE Summerslam 2003
This Summerslam featured the second Elimination Chamber match. The rest of the card for the night was either average to good. I did not like the staging or lighting as it made the Elimination Chamber look bright and less demonic. There are no extras on this DVD, which is a huge let down. The theme song is St. Anger by Metallic.

World Tag Team Championships
La Résistance(c) VS Dudley Boyz
A basic tag team match that the crowd was into due to the USA VS France concept. The screw job ending was missed by the cameraman, which brings down the score.
RATING- 7/10

Undertaker VS A-Train
Undertaker commonly does well against bigger men and this is no exception. Undertaker and A-Train put on a decent big man's contest. I like the ending and the aftermath.
RATING- 6.5/10

Shane McMahon VS Eric Bischoff
Shane McMahon beats the crap out of Bischoff for the entire first half of the match. It is fairly entertaining. Then, Bischoff's back-up plan shows up. The match becomes more of a segment after that. Austin makes an appearance and raises some hell before leaving. Funny segment, but less of a match then it was supposed to be.
RATING- 7/10

Fatal Four-Way- United States Championship
Eddie Guerrero(c) VS Chris Benoit VS Rhyno VS Tajiri
This is an amazing Fatal Four-Way match. Each man plays an equal part in making this match great. Even Tajiri pulls off some amazing moves. Eddie is doing his Lie, Cheat, and Steal routine and gets the crowd going with it. Tajiri even hits Benoit with an awesome German Suplex.
RATING- 8.5/10

WWE Championship (Match of the DVD)
Kurt Angle(c) VS Brock Lesnar
Kurt Angle won the title in a Triple Threat at WWE Vengeance 2003. Brock Lesnar is now the hunter and is looking to regain the WWE Title. Brock has returned to his psychotic ways. This is much better than their WWE WrestleMania XIX match is. Brock has a power advantage on Angle, but for the most part they are set as equals. Vince McMahon makes an appearance in this great match.
RATING- 9/10

Rob Van Dam VS Kane
This is a glorified squash match. Rob Van Dam gets a good amount of offence to show that the new unmasked Kane can take punishment. Nice finish, but nothing you will watch again.
RATING- 6.5/10

Elimination Chamber- World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H(c) VS Randy Orton VS Chris Jericho VS Goldberg VS Shawn Michaels VS Kevin Nash
I hate a lot of this match. Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels start it off. They do some technical wrestling that the crowd does not seem to care about at all. The crowd only cares about Goldberg. The match does not really pick up until Kevin Nash comes in and uses the Chamber on his opponents. Nash is eliminated quickly though and the match is boring again. Not until Goldberg enters the match does it get really entertaining. I'm not even a Goldberg fan, but he made the match past horrible.
RATING- 6.5/10

World Wrestling Entertainment must be trying to cut corners with their fanbase. While they are still pumping in efforts on non-PPV releases, they've stopped placing extra features on the PPV DVD.

When you buy a pay-per-view on DVD, it has been like a scrapbook for the month in which the show occured. Some would go so far as to include a related match from a Raw or Smackdown! program on the disc. WrestleMania went even further, and therefore, their discs were always the best value. Some mediocre pay-per-views were loaded with so many extra features that it made the DVD worth purchasing.

But if Vengeance and now SummerSlam are any indication, then the "keepsake" value of these DVD's is no longer an interest to WWE. Hopefully, the fans/buyers will think twice about owning them until WWE puts more effort into these releases.

Dudley's vs. La Resistance-good tag team match 4/5

Undertaker vs. A-train-okay match. A-train sucks. 3/5

Shane vs. Bischoff- pretty good. Bischoff gets whooped. 5/5

Fatal 4 way- Great action. One of the top matches. 5/5

Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar- Awesome. Totally awesome 5/5

Kane vs. RVD- I hate RVD and was glad he lost to the monster 5/5

Elimination Chamber- Not the best, but was still good. Hunter didn't even get involved most of the match. 4/5

La Resistance vs. Dudley Boyz-Great match. Ending sucked. 3.5/

Undertaker vs. A-Train-Taker wins decisively. Sable gets her ass kicked by Stephanie. 3/5

Shane vs. Bischoff-Bischoff gets his ass kicked! Coach gets whooped like a government mule. Shane onto Bischoff through the table is the move of the night. 3.75/5

Lesnar vs. Angle-Great moves by both. They really know how to make a rivalry seem real. 3.5/5

RVD vs. Kane-No Holds Barred-Excellent match from RVD. Kane is just too much. 3/5

Elimination Chamber for the World Heavyweight Title-Awesome stuff from all six men. Goldberg is a monster. He got screwed thanks to damn Flair handing the sledgehammer to Triple H. Awesome when Nash jackknifed everybody to hell. Order of elimination:

Kevin Nash pinned by Chris Jericho
Randy Orton pinned by Goldberg
Chris Jericho pinned by Goldberg
Shawn Michaels pinned by Goldberg
Goldberg pinned by Triple H

Awesome DVD for the fact that Goldberg spears Jericho through the plexiglass and breaks down the plexiglass to Triple H's chamber.

Tag team titles
-dudleys vs la resistance
This was a poor opener,... 5/10

-A-Train vs Taker
The only good things in this match was seeing the legend himself, TAKER! Sable saved it for me, WOW! She is HOT! 4/10

-Shane vs Bischoff
I was not looking forward to this from the start, the IC title or the women's title should have been on the line instead. Got interesting when coach got involved, though he shouldn't be in the ring. All in all, 4.5/10

U.S Title
-Fatal four way, Eddie vs Benoit vs Rhyno vs Tajiri
This along with the smackdown main event saved the show, 4 excellent wrestlers putting everything into it. 7/10

Championship Match
- Angle vs Lesnar
With the help of the u.s title match saved this show. 2 awesome wretlers giving it their all, especially glad to see Vince not get involved. Shame about the ending! We love you, ANGLE, ...7/10

-RVD vs Kane
Good opening few minutes, but it was way too short. The ending was totally[BAD]! I am surprised shane was no where to be seen. 5/10

Elimination Chamber
-HHH vs Goldberg vs Jericho vs Nash vs Orton vs HBK
I was looking forward to this, but this was a total let down, survivor series was better. Nash wasn't in it for long, but jericho and hbk were good. Orton didn't do much, why did Goldberg eliminate everyone too fast. HHH wasn't really involved because of his groin injury, which spoilt this for me. Would have been better if orton or jericho would have won, i am sooooo glad that GOLDBERG didn't win, he is a waste of space! I am glad about who was the winner though. Overall 5.5/10

Smackdown matches produced more, and out did the raw ones. Why are the Mcmahons hogging the show? Other superstars deserved to be on the show, like CHRISTIAN and TWGTT to name a few. Overall, for one of the biggest events of the year this show was a complete let down, why didn't they have KOR this year? I would give this event a 5.5/10.

This Slummerslam is held at Phoenix,AZ on Aug 24.2003.I was there.
In short, it is a let down event.

1. La Resistance def. the Dudley Boyz (2/5) for Tag Team Championship

It is a very common match and should not be put on PPV.

2. Undertaker VS A-Train (2/5)

No any surprise. Would be better if Sable really got chokeslam

3. Shane Mcmahon VS. Eric Biscoff(3.5/5)

A decent match
Big move by shane and suprised to see the interference of coach.
It is pretty exciting SCSA came out When audiences were chanting his name.

4. FATAL FOURWAY for U.S. Championship
Eddie Guerrero VS.Rhyno VS. Tarjiri VS.Benoit (3.5/5)

Good match.Fast pace and nice move by Eddie and Rhyno.

5. Kurt Angel VS. Brock Lesnar WWE Championship(3/5)
Something like that match on Wrestlemania but not that good.
No big move but glad to see Mr.Mcmahon got angelslam on steel
chair at his birthday.

6. Kane VS. RVD (3/5)
Just a so so match. End too soon but nice chair move by RVD.

7. Elimination Chamber for World Heavyweigth Champitonship (3/5)

A let down match.
Goldberg is pretty cool and Y2J is totally destroyed. But kind of boring
seeing Spear/Jack Hammer over and over again.
Triple H hid in the Chabmer for most of time.
Most anticipated fight between H and Goldberg really s[tin]ks.

Total: 3/5

Don't pay attention to those bozos above. Here's the real SummerSlam 2003 pay-per-view card that was broadcasted live from Phoenix, Arizona at the American West Arena on August 24, 2003.

The Undertaker def. A-Train w/ Sable
(Stephanie McMahon got into the action against Sable near the end of the match. A-Train pulled Sable outta harm's way, though.)

US Title Match: Eddie Guerrero def. Chris Benoit, Tajiri, Rhyno

WWE Heavyweight Title Match: Kurt Angle def. Brock Lesnar
(Angle made Lesnar submit via the ankle lock. Fantastic brawl.)

Elimination Chamber World Heavyweight Title Match: Triple H def. Goldberg, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, Kevin Nash
(Probably the most exciting matchup of the night. Triple H [stole] Goldberg out of the title after nailing him with a sledgehammer. HHH, Randy Orton, and Ric Flair proceeded to massacre Goldberg after the match)

I was lucky enough to see this event live last night and I'll definetly be picking up the DVD.

Long live Mattitude.
