4.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding first ppv for smackdown!, August 13, 2004
This, besides Wrestlemania XIX, was by far the best pay per view of 2003. It had a little bit of everything, from soap opera style matches, to great pure wrestling.
United States Championship
Eddie Guererro v. Chris Benoit ****1/2
GREAT opening match and they gave it tons of time. Each time these two go at it, it's going to be a great match. Eddie's antics at the end are great as always!
Indecent Proposal Match
Jamie Noble v. Billy Gunn w/ Torrie Wilson **
The match itself is very short and nothing spectacular. But I must say, Jamie Noble is hysterical. Torrie's reactions are even better. great for what it was.
APA Invitational Bar Room Brawl **1/2
Just plain funny. No real wrestling here, just plain stupidity. The Easter Bunny getting thrown through the glass was worth it.. Brother Love was good, and so was an extremely drunk Funaki at the bar. Not meant to be good wrestling, just pure entertainment, and odly enough, it does the trick.
WWE Tag Team Championship
WGTT (c) v. Rey Mysterio/Billy Kidman ***
GREAT tag team match. Haas and Benjamin were a great team and they had outstanding chemistry with Mysterio and Kidman. Excellent tag match.
Sable v. Stephanie MacMahon *1/2
The only stinker on the night. Steph just can't wrestle. Sable can, but didn't for whatever reason. Kinda pointless really.
Mr. MacMahon v. Zach Gowen ***1/2
Outstanding chemistry and psychology with these two. Neither one are anything close to mat masters, but IMO, didn't really need it. The build up to the match was great and Gowen held his own. The chair spot at the end is pretty wicked! Good match overall.
The Undertaker v. John Cena ****1/2
I loved this match. These guys really put a lot into it, and both did a brilliant job playing into their storyline. Really good in ring work with the two as well. The ending was even appropriate... I really do prefer a heel cena... works much better then his dopey character nowadays.
WWE Championship Triple Threat Match
Brock Lesnar (c) v. Kurt Angle v. The Big Show ****1/2
Another great match. Triple Threats usually aren't anything to be excited about, but these guys had the timeing right, their spots worked well, and it wasn't a total finisher-fest. Great moment with Angle winning the title in the end. Even Big Show, who's usually slow and plodding, really held up his end of the bargain in this match. Great show finisher.
Overall, this is an excellent ppv. Even the matches I rated low, were very entertaining. PPV's don't get too much better then this one save, the big four (Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble, Summerslam, and Survivor Series)... absolute buy. No extras, but the card itself was outstanding. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good PPV with a few bad matches, November 24, 2007
I recently got in the mood to watch wrestling from a few years back and this ppv looked pretty good. I admit no extra features does hurt the dvd but not too much. The most annoying thing about the whole thing is how the announcers kept on saying they were in Colorado and since the air was different, it was going effect some matches.
Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero: Great match. Too bad these two wrestlers are no longer with us. Guerrero's performance in this match is funny and the announcers loved it.
Billy Gunn vs. Jamie Noble: Two great wrestlers who never really got much notice. Well Gunn was half of the New Age Outlaws but afterwards he could have been a top star, it never happened. Noble is getting there.
The match is alright but nothing speical.
World's Greatest Tag Team vs. Billy Kidman & Rey Mysterio: Four of the greatest wrestlers in the world. Of course this match was going be classic.
Stephanie McMahon vs. Sable: Yawn
APA Invitational: Comedy affair that had a few cool spots.
Undertaker vs. John Cena: Really good match. This match wasnt a hardcore match but still very intense.
Zach Gowen vs. Vince McMahon: I'll admit that I skipped this one.
Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show vs. Kurt Angle: A great triple threat match with Angle winning the world title.
Overall, it was amazing how much talent Smackdown had in 2003. Lesnar, Angle, Mysterio, Benoit, Undertaker, Kidman and so much more talent on its roster. It should have beat Raw in the ratings but I dont think it ever did. The roster basically reflects TNA of today. Many talented stars but for some reason, no one cares.
