5.0 out of 5 stars
Royal Rumble 2002-Great start for the year, March 13, 2002
This review is from: WWF: Royal Rumble 2002 (DVD)
This was the best rumble I have seen no doubt, but there are a few minor problems with the DVD that I will get into after I review the matches. 1.WWF Tag Team Championship
Champions Tazz and Spike Dudly Vs. The Dudly Boyz
2.5 stars out of 5. Good opener a little dissapointing because of it's length but none the less good match with an exciting ending. 2.WWF Intercontinental Championship
Champion Egde Vs. William Regal
2.5 stars out of 5 Another good match, these two have been fueding for quite some time now and it gets even better here. nice match with some high spots but a terrible ending resulting in William Regal using those damn brass knuckles to win the Intercontinental title. 3.WWF Woman's Championship
Champion Trish Vs. Jazz
2 stars out of 5 Like every women's title match at the royal rumble the dud match of the night, certainly a better bout then last years Chyna Vs.Ivory. 4.Street Fight
Vince Mcmahon Vs. Ric Flair
4 out of 5 stars great match but very slow and one sided, the funny thing about this match is that Ric Flair is suppose to be all mighty wrestler but Vince is in much better shape then him, Vince kicks Flair's ass all match untill the end where Flair finally mounts some offense and locks the figure four leg lock on and wins by submission. 5.WWF Undisputed Championship
Champion Chris Jericho Vs. The Rock
4.5 stars out of 5 Great Match with a some nice high spots and a poor ending. Jericho trys to Rock bottom the rock through an annonuce table but Rock counters and Rock bottoms Jericho through the opposite table. Very sweet lol. Jericho wins by slamming rocks head off of the exposed turn buckle and then rolling him up and putting his feet on the ropes for extra leverage. 6. Royal Rumble 2002 Winner gets a Undisputed title shot at Wrestlemania X-8
5 out of 5 stars Obviously the match we've been waiting for all night and It didn't dissapoint. In the Rumble Goldust, Val Venis, Godfather, and MR. Perfect, all make a return to action. the contest starts off with Rikishi and Goldust, There ar ea few people in the ring when the Undertaker comes out and absolutly destroys the competition, When Taker is all alone Maven comes out, to get picked apart but the Hardyz distract Taker and Maven drop kicks Taker over the top rope! Maven eliminates The Undertaker lol. Undertaker can't believe it and smacks Maven in the head with a chair and continues to beat him....the game comes out and it gets interesting, the game and Austin beat[s] ...out of each other. eventually Austin gets eliminated by Angle and Mr. Perfect "big bummer" when it is down to HHH and Angle, angle thinks he won but triple H's feet didn't touch the floor so HHH comes back in and clotheslines Angle over the top to win, Let the Game begin...Awesome Rumble best ever by far. DVD Extras:Exclusive Interviews with Goldust, Venis, Godfather, and Mr. Perfect after the Rumble.Spike and Tazz review there match.
Kurt Angle and Stone Cold promos.
And Triple H's return to the WWF in Madison Square Garden Now a few weird minor problems with Royal Rumble 2002
when they released it on DVD they totally took out the theme song ...and put something made up over it, This[is bad]cuz it totally ruins the Royal Rumble Promo when Austin keeps saying What? where the song says the say I'm cocky and I say What?....also they took edges new theme changed that back, Undertakers Theme changed that to soemthing I've never heard, and took RVDs theme and switched that to the original. Whats going on??? Overall Great PPV great start for 2002 hope my review helped you decide wheather to buy this DVD or not.

All in all another great WWF PPV., January 22, 2002
This review is from: WWF: Royal Rumble 2002 (DVD)
ok here is a spoiler free review just to refresh your memory and help you remember if you want to get Rumble 2002: Opening match, Tazz and Spike defend the tag titles against Dvon and Bubba, A good match although a little short in my opinion.
Next up Edge takes on William regal with his IC title on the line, for Regals standards this match was ok.
Trish Stratus (oh yeah) vs Jazz with Jackie as Ref... a pretty good match... but could have been better.
Vince Mcmahon vs Ric Flair: great street fight considering the age of both the men.
Y2J vs The Rock for the unified world title, A great match, Strong offence from both men will definetly keep your interest.
And of course the main event the royal rumble... 30 men and in my opinion one of the best Rumble matches of all time... here is the list of competitors in alphabetical order:
Al Snow Albert Big Show Billy Booker T Big Bossman Bradshaw Christian Chuck Dallas Page Faarooq Godfather Goldust Jeff Hardy Kane Kurt Angle Lance Storm Matt Hardy Maven Mr. Perfect Perry Saturn Rikishi Rob Van Dam Scotty Too Hotty Steve Austin Test The Hurricane Triple H Undertaker Val Venis. With the extra features the WWF always includes in Royal Rumble dvd's this one will no doubt be an essential for any true fans collection!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good PPV, but the Rumble match is too predictable, May 14, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: WWF: Royal Rumble 2002 (DVD)
Royal Rumble 2002 took place from the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. This was a good PPV to kick off the new year. I will rank the matches for you on a star (*) system. They are all based out of five stars. 1. SPIKE & TAZZ (VS) DUDLEY'S (TAG TITLE)
This was a good match to kick off the PPV. Good action it was just a little too short. Tazz and Spike retain the titles as Tazz gets D-Von to tap to the Tazzmission. [3 *'s]P>2. WILLIAM REGAL (VS) EDGE (INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE)
This fued continued way too long. It went on for three months. This match was slow and boring. The only good spot was when Edge gave Regal a DDT on the outside apron. Regal wins the title after he hits Edge with the Brass Knuckles. *1/2 3. TRISH STRATUS (VS) JAZZ (WOMEN'S TITLE)
I hate most women's matches. This was no different. Trish retains the title with a Stratusfaction. * 4. RIC FLAIR (VS) VINCE McMAHON (STREET FIGHT)
This match was about what was expected between these two. There was a lot of brawling and a lot of blood. There is a funny spot when Vince takes Flair's daughter's camera and takes a picture of himself and the bloodied Flair. Flair wins when Vince taps to the Figure Four Leglock. [3*'s] 5. CHRIS JERICHO (VS) THE ROCK (UNDISPUTED TITLE)
This is a very underrated match. Not a lot is heard about this match. It was very entertaining and fast paced. The crowd was really into this match. A lot of close falls occured in this match. The best spot of the match is when The Rock Rock Bottoms Y2J from one announce table to the next. Jericho retains the title with the help of Lance Storm, Christian, Nick Patrick, and the top turnbuckle. [4 1/2 *'s] 6. ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH
The Rumle match was pretty decent, but it is too predictable. Goldust, Val Venis, The Godfather, and Mr. Perfect returned to the WWE in this match. There were good spots in this match including Maven elimintating the Undertaker, which was preceeded by the Undertaker beating Maven all over the arena and finally putting his head through a glass popcorn machine. The confrontation between Steve Austin and Triple H was very intense. One of the surprises was Mr. Perfect making it into the final four. Triple H wins by clotheslining Kurt Angle over the top rope. With this win, Triple H get an automatic spot in the main event at Wrestlemania X8 for the Undisputed Title. Unfortunately, everyone knew this would happen. [4 *'s] The extra feature are nothing to get too excited about except for the return of Triple H on RAW. Overall, this was a great PPV. Two good matches, one great match, and a good Rumble match. The Rock & Y2J match was the best of the night. I recommend purchasing this PPV. It will be a good addition to your collection. Buy for The Rock (vs) Y2J and for the Rumble match.
