This had to be the most important PPV of the year besides WM x-seven, because it would decide what entity would survive. The WWF or the WCW/ECW Alliance. The theme song for this PPV is "control" from Puddle Of Mud, Not my first choice for a theme, but then again not horrible, alright i'll rate the matches 1-5 stars and review them.

1) WWF European Championship
Christian (champion) Vs. Al Snow
This match was pretty much a bonus because it was made on sunday night heat, good opener but pointless match, good match overall.
2.5 stars out of 5

2) Tajiri Vs. Alliance Commisioner Willaim Regal
Another decent match, after the match ends Regal feels the need to keep returning to the ring to lay it on Tajiri some more, it gets to the point where u just say to yourself, "go away please"
2.5 stars out of 5

3)Championship Unification Match
Edge (WCW U.S. Champion) Vs. Test (WWF Intercontinental champion) The winner of this match was to keep there job no matter the out come of the Winner Take All Match. A really good bout with some high spots. Edge wins which latter sets up Test joining the Immunity battle royal to try and secure his job.
3 out of 5 stars.

4)Steel Cage Tag Team Unification Match
Hardy Boyz (WWF Tag Team Champions) Vs. Dudly Boyz (WCW Tag Team Champions) Awesome match with a dramatic finish, matt Hardy climbs over the cage, whick is a foolish mistake and leaves his brother alone, when Jeff climbs to the top to escape and win he decides to take a foolish chance and dive off the cage threw Bubba on the table, Bubba moves and Jeff gets wood, Dudlyz win.
4 out of 5 stars.

5)Immunity Invitational Battle Royal
Featuring 22 WCW/ECW and WWF superstars
Before the match Test beats up Scotty 2 Hotty in the back and takes his spot in the battle royal. Whichs makes it kinda obvious who is going to win, but you never know with the WWF. This isnt exactly WM x-seven. Anyways Test wins and gains immunity for 1 year, meaning he cant be fired for a year.
4.5 stars out of 5

6) Six Pack challenge for the Women's Tile
Lita Vs. Jaqueline Vs. Trish Vs. Ivory Vs. Molly Holly Vs. Jazz
Good womens bought for the title, ends when trish uses the Stratusfaction for the win, (Wow is she hot lol)
3 out of 5 stars.

7)Team WWF vs. Team Alliance
Winner Take All Elimination Match
Team WWF: The Rock, Chris Jericho, Undertaker, Kane, Bigshow
Team Alliance: Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Rob van Dam, Booker T, and Shane Mcmahon.
Here we go, the match most of us have been waiting for, hoping that the Alliance would come to an end, This match didn't fail to deliver, with numerous high spots, the biggest high spot, the ending. When it is down to The Rock and Austin. Kurt Angle comes down to the ring and hits Austin right in the head with his own Title. It is truly an awesome ending, Kurt angle acted as the mole for the past month to help the WWF rid the Alliance. Another high spot to me was to see Paul Heyman's stupid expression after he realized he was out of a job, kodak moment.
5 out of 5 stars no doubt.

DVD Extras: Yes DVD Extras! about time.
1st extra is A day of a WWF superstar. Which is Edge talking about how he became a wrestler ETC...
2nd Extra: After Math on Raw. This is everything important that happened the following night on raw. the firing of Paul Heyman, Vince calling for security to take his princess away, and Regal joining the Vince Mcmahon kiss my rear club. (dont watch ehhhh nasty..) The final little extra is the concluding moments of raw where Rick Flair (woooooooo) comes into the WWF to tell Vince that they are now partners. After that Austin comes out and dominates Angle and Vince and gets his Belt back, Austin and Flair then drink a beer together.

5 star PPV no doubt, thanks for bearing with me and reading this very long review, but at least you got the fullest of what to expect if you purchase this DVD, get it now and watch the Alliance finally die.

i BOUGHT THIS PPV FROM AMAZON AND I THINK YOU SHOULD TOO. THIS WAS AN AWESOME PPV. 1.Al snow vs christain for the eurupean title.great effort for the two of them. man al snow would have won with the snowplow exept christain was too close to the ropes. Great match! 8/10 2.william regal vs tagiri. stupid william. Its a good thing tagiri was in it or else this match would have been really boring. OK match. 7/10. 3.unifacation match EDGE VS TEST.sort of slow hitting at the beginning but near the end it became more interesting. yahoo! 8/10 4.tag team cage unifacation match dudley boyz vs the hardy boyz. wow!!! exellent match. 10/10 wouldve gave it a 11/10 if the hardyz won.

European Championship
Christian vs. Al Snow
Nice to see Al in action. Not a bad match.

Tajiri vs. William Regal
They tried to make this feud work but it never came to fruition. Not very good.

Unification Match for the Intercontinental & United States Titles
Edge vs. Test
Much better than expected match. Very fast paced with a good ending. Even though the US title would be brought back less than 2 years later it's still cool.

Steel Cage Unification Match for the WCW & WWF Tag Team Titles
Hardy Boyz vs. Dudley Boyz
A little slow at first but picks up and Jeff Hardy does his obligatory crazy bump. Very good match overall.

Immunity Battle Royal
Why? junk.

Six-Pack Challenge for the Women's Championship
Trish Stratus vs. Jazz vs. Molly Holly vs. Ivory vs. Jacqueline vs. Lita
Pretty good women's match. Lots of action.

Winner Take All
The Rock, Chris Jericho, Big Show, Undertaker, & Kane vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Booker T, Rob Van Dam, & Shane McMahon
Greatest elimination match ever. High drama and intensity makes this a classic with one of the 10 greatest endings in wrestling.

This pay-per-view had all the potential of becoming the Best PPV of the Year 2000. There was one problem: The only match with any build-up was the 10-Man Elimination Main-Event.

Christian vs. Al Snow was a good match and could've given both these men a tremendous push but it had little to no build-up unless you watched Sunday Night Heat.

William Regal vs. Tajiri had a build-up but the match fell short of my expectations and what it really could've been.

Test vs. Edge was a match that really shocked me. Edge and Test are two great athletes that WWF needs to push a lot more.

Dudleys vs. Hardys was okay but these two teams could've stolen the show like they always do but they focused too much on breaking up the Hardys than the actual match itself.

Immunity Battle Royal was a great one. I found myself changing my prediction throughout the whole thing. It wasn't until it came down to Test and Billy Gunn that I thought Test would win.

The Six-Pack-Challenge for the Women's Championship was a match that had no build-up but was an excellent match. I thought the Women's Championship was suppose to be the equivalent of the WWF Title? If so, then why do they never promote that title? And Jazz coming in as the sixth participant? Stephanie would've been a better surprise and could've been more enjoyable. And Trish winning the title? Color me stunned! I was hoping it'd be Lita but Trish winning was NOT a disappointment.

10-Man Elimination Match-up was so exciting! I thought the WWF would win but then again, you never know. I wanted Kurt to turn back to the WWF so bad that I figured WWF would disappoint again, but it was great!

2001 Survivor Series
November 18, 2001
Greensboro Coliseum Complex
Greensboro, North Carolina

WWF European Championship:
Christian (Champion) V. Al Snow
Hot way to kick off Survivor Series. Christian retains. ***

Tajiri V. William Regal
Good match. This match shows that Regal has become a great wrestler and Tajiri is on his way up. **3/4

WWF Intercontinetal Championship & WCW United States Championship Unification Match:
Edge (WCW United States Champion) V. Test (WWF Intercontinental Champion)
Pretty good match. 2001 was Test's best year was a in-ring performer and this match and his match with Kane at No Mercy of 2001 proves it. Edge wins. ***1/2

Steel Cage WWF & WCW Tag Team Championship Unification Match:
Hardy Boyz (WWF Tag team Champions) V. Dudley Boyz (WCW Tag Team Champions)
Great match, but in my opinoin, could have been better. Dudleyz win because of Jeff Hardy's error in judgment. ***1/2

Immunity Invitational Battle Royal:
Test wins it and can't be fired for one year. **3/4

Six-Pack Challenge for the Vacant Women's Championship:
Lita V. Jacqueline V. Trish V. Ivory V. Jazz V. Mighty Molly
Good women's match with Trish winning her first Women's Championship! **3/4

Winner-Take-All Elimination Match:
Team WWF (The Rock, Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, Kane, & Big Show) V. Team Alliance (Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Shane McMahon, & Booker T.)
Awesome match. One fo the best Classic Suvivor Series Matches along with the two at the 2003 Survivor Series. Team WWF wins when the Rock pinned Austin after the Rock Bottom and a WWF Championship shot to the head by...Kurt Angle!?!?!?!? I love the end and the way that Jim Ross does his thing, it gives me goosebumps everytime. ****3/4

Overall, one of the best Survivor Series ever. The drama was built up and you could feel it. Awesome show.

I speak for most people when I say the Invasion angle was unbearable there for a while. But looking back on it and comparing it to the load of stupidity (for a lack of better four letter words) that exists today in the WWE, I must say it was pretty good. Sure, the Raws and SmackDowns were pretty turbulent with all those titles changing hands but the McMahons were at the center of this feud where they belonged and the challenge for a Winner Takes All match was laid down on Raw. On PPV, this feud tended to deliver rather than disappoint. And Survivor Series was the best of all the WWE vs. WCW/ECW PPV's.

1) Christian vs. Al Snow for the European Title- ***- Pretty Good Way to start off the festivities. Pretty good match for a last second addition. Christian just can't get out of his brother's shadow though (kind of hits the HART doesn't it?).

2) William Regal vs. Tajiri-**- Worst match of the night. They are both good wrestlers but their styles just didn't clash very well together. Regal doesn't use his power of the punch in this match.

3) U.S. Champ Edge vs. I.C. Champ Test-*****- I am a big fan of these two. This match was better than I expected and really gave the notion that this was a do or die event unlike the first two matches.

4) Cage Match-WWE Tag Champs-Hardy Boyz vs. WCW Tag Champs-Dudleyz (w/ Stacy Keibler)-****- Definitely better than the Hardyz' cage match with E&C. The Dudleyz do indeed prove they were the best tag team at that time and maybe of all time.

5) Immunity Battle Royal-*****- I love a good battle royal. Royal Rumble, Battle Royal, Hardcore Battle Royal....it makes no difference to me. So I might be a little bias on this when I say that this was an excellent addition to the card.

6) Lita vs. Trish vs. Jackie vs. Mighty Molly vs. Ivory vs. Jazz for the vacant Women's Title- *****- Very well done. Didn't last too long and very well executed. Well with Trish in the ring, STRATISFACTION IS ALWAYS GUARANTEED.

7) Winner Takes All-Team WWE vs Team Alliance-***** The greatest Survivor Series Match of all time in my personal opinion. I never have seen a match so perfectly done with 10 guys as I saw on this PPV. Rock vs. Austin Pt. 1000 was entertaining still. I would have liked to have seen both the big names eliminated at the beginning to add the sense of dread to it. But it still was an excellent match.

Let's keep this one focused on reviews of the matches. Here we go.
1) Al Snow vs. Christian- Really good match but 6 minutes way too short for these guys who can work 20. Snow works really hard to show the crowd that he still has it after 19 years in the ring. The top spot has to be the Snow Plow. Rating- 6.8/10

2) Tajiri vs William Regal- Very short match for two really good workers. I mean it was not even 3 minutes long! That just ... . Rating- DUD

3)Edge(IC champ) vs Test(US Champ)- This was Test's best match in a while because Edge carried his ... so much. I really liked the roll-up finish. 11 minutes was a perfect time for this match. Rating- 8.5/10

4) Hardy Boyz (WWF tag) vs Dudley Boyz (WCW Tag) Cage Match- This match has gotten so many bad reviews that it's not funny. Personally I really liked the match. Jeff misses a Swanton off the top of the cage through a table. The match was timed perfectly at 15:29 Rating- 8/10

5) 22 Man Battle Royal- This was an okay battle royal with very few highspots. The crowd is kinda dead for most of it because no-one cares for the real wrestlers that should be main eventing and not jobbing. Rating- 5/10

6)Trish Stratus, Jackie, Lita, Ivory, Jazz and Molly (Women's Title Six Way)- Jazz is the "big mystery opponent" the crowd is deader than dead. Four minutes of so-so action. Rating- 5.2/10

7)Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, Kane, The Rock, The Big Show versus Rob Van Dam, Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Shane McMahon, Booker T- One of the five best WWF matches of 2001 in my opinion. This match is 45 minutes of pure action. The match did have one major flaw when Rock rolled up Booker T. Rock did not even have Booker's shoulders pinned correctly for a schoolboy. It looked very bad and the commentators tried covering it up. Let's not get all upset about that though. The last 20 minutes really make up for that spot. Enjoy it, It will not dissapoint. Rating-10/10
Overall View- Not the best Survivior Series but not the Worst. It ranks #5 on my SS list. Check this DVD or Video Tape out. It will not dissapoint unless you are a snobby smart mark.

Awesome pay-per-veiw! I prayed that WWF whould win, and sure enough... THEY DID! But, the main event wasn't the only great match. For example...
FIRST MATCH: EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Al Snow vs. Christian
Good match, except for the end. It gets a 6/10.
SECOND MATCH: Tajiri vs. Regal. Regal wins and afterwords continues to beat the meekrob out of Tajiri. Torrie gets involved, and Regal suplexes her. 4/10
THIRD MATCH: IC/U.S CHAMPIONSHIP UNIFICATION MATCH: Test vs. Edge. Amazing match! Test and Edge use body slams, power bombs, and each others moves. Test hits the impaler, covers, 1-2-3! 10/10.
FOURTH MATCH: WCW/WWF TAG TITLE UNIFICATION CAGE MATCH: Hardy Boyz vs. Dudley Boyz. This match is worth the whole tape! No, seriously! This match has everything but the kitchen sink. You see high-flying moves, tables, high-impact moves and Stacy's butt! Jeff Hardy Swanton's through a table, costing the Hardyz the match. But, it still gets a huge 10/10!
FIFTH MATCH: IMMUNITY BATTLE ROYAL: 22 superstars form both the alliance and the WWF square of for the prize: The winner cannot be fired for one full year. No matter what. Test is still [angry] having lost to Edge earlier. He wins, which [disappoints]! It gets a 5/10.
SIXTH MATCH: WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Lita vs. Jacqueline vs. Trish vs. Ivory vs. Molly vs. Jazz(?). The only sucky match of the night. It gets a 2/10.
SEVENTH MATCH: WINNER TAKE ALL!: WWF: Rock, Jericho, 'Taker, Kane, Big Show vs. Alliance: Austin, Angle(cry baby), Van Dam, Booker T(Booger T), and Shane(arrogant pissant). Big Show is the first to go he is quantople teamed until Shane gets the 1-2-3. Then Shane gets a Rock Bottem, a chokeslam to Hell, a lionsault, then a tombstone. 1-2-3. Then Kane got taken down with a Five-star splash. 1-2-3. Undertaker gets a stunner. 1-2-3. Then RVD is put in a small package by Rock. 1-2-3. Jericho gets an Angle slam. 1-2-3. Jericho still hates the Rock so he gives him a full nelson frontwards slam, then left. Rock is almost pinned when he kicks out. Rock put Angle in the Sharpshooter. Angle taps after two seconds. So it's down to Austin and Rock. They duke it out for about five minutes when the ref gets knocked out. (Hmm, that happens an awful lot, doesn't it.) When Angle comes out, picks up Austin's belt, and nails Austin with it. Rock gets a Rock Bottom. 1-2-3!!! WWF wins. Alliance dies! the match, and the PPV get a 10/10!

This 15th Survivour Series was WWF's most important PPV of all time and was held in Greensboro North Carolina.Before the actual event started there was a good intro.

Christian and Alsnow kicked things off in a decent opener for the European Championship, nothing special but near the end it does pick up a bit.

-Austin & Team Alliance promo "will he turn"

-Vince & Linda promo

Regal vs Tarjiri in short match up that could have been better.Starts off with some stiff kicks by Tarjiri and have a look when Tarjiri gets his neck tied between the rope.

-Test & Stacey promo "she wants me"

-Edge interview

The 1st unification title match was between Test(i.c.) and Edge(u.s).1 title has to go as these 2 young performers get it on.Test dominates in this match with his smash mouth in your face style of wrestling that does pick up near the end when the crowd gets into it and with a couple of near falls this has a nice ending and the Intercontinental Championship stays.A nice performance from these 2 who could be future maineventers.

-Angle & Stephanie promo "regular person"

-Team Xtreme promo

The 2nd title unifcation match featured the Dudly Boyz(WCW tag team champs) and Hardy Boyz(WWF tag team champs) in a steel cage match.
These 2 teams have had a history and this will no doubt be apart of it although it wasnt their best encounter.It starts off a little slow but slowly picks up as they all brawl.Dudlyz contolled most of the match.Hardyz didnt leave uninjured as Matt got squashed between the cage and Buh Buh Ray and Jeff done a swanton through a table from top of a cage with impact.A good finish to a good match that also could have been a bit better as there wasnt as many high flying monuvers.

-Mick Foley interview at WWF New York.

-Test assualts Scotty Too Hotty to get in the Immunity Battle Royal.

1st ever IMMUNITY BATTLE ROYAL
Featuring members of Team WWF & Alliance and the winner can not be fired for a year no matter which team wins.
It was nothing to special as the guys didnt put much effort into it.Nice strength by Bradshaw as he chucks Kidman out of the ring with a fallaway slam.Also Billy Gunn gets a boot to the face as Test keeps his job for another year.

-A nice video clip of the WWF by CREED "My Sacrifice"

-Shane & Booker-t promo

Next was tag team acton featuring 6 women of the WWF for the WWF gold.The 6 women were:Jaqueline vs Trish vs Lita vs Ivory vs Mighty Molly vs Jazz.It was Jazz's 1st appearance in the WWF but didnt get a big obvation, if more people knew her from ECW she would have.This match was short but sweet and a new WWF womens champion is crowned.

-Team WWF promo "Vince preparing his Troops"

-The fued leading up to this important match.

WINNER TAKE ALL 10 MEN TAG ELLIMINATION MATCH

TEAM WWF
BIGSHOW / KANE / UNDERTAKER / CHRIS JERICHO / THE ROCK

TEAM ALLIANCE
SHANE / BOOKER-T / ROB VAN DAM / KURT ANGLE / STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN

Match kicks off with Rock and Austin and the crowd gets hyped.Shane interupts nearly every pin but gets tombstoned out of the match.The most impressive out of the 10 was Rob Van Dam and Chris Jericho.At one point it becomes an all out brawl but it does have its slow points.Things to pick up as the guys who kicked it off are finishing it, thats right Rock and Stone Cold once again which is a good thing.It then becomes intense as the 2 refs start getting involved and Angle turns.Rock gets the pin as WWF wipes out the Alliance in a hard fought match.
Paul Heymans face is priceless even though i like the guy.With WWF locker room celebrating and Vince coming out with arms in air as this historic show closes.

All in All this is a very historic PPV.Most of these guys give it 5 out of 5 because WWF Dominates but some of the wrestlers didnt put in the effort that you would expect in a big PPV.Although it is a must have in your collecton as this is a very historic night but there are better WWF PPV's.

This pay per view was one of my favorites! Here are the matches:

1. European Championship:(c)Christian vs. Al Snow

2. Tajiri vs. Alliance Commissioner William Regal

3. IC & US Championship:(IC Champion)Test vs. (US Champion) Edge

4. Steele Cage match for the WCW & WWE Tag Team Championship: (WWE Tag Team Champions)Hardy Boyz vs. (WCW Tag Team Champions)Dudley Boyz

Winner Take All elimination match:(Team WWE)The Rock, Chris Jericho, Undertaker, Kane, and Big Show vs. The Alliance: Stone Cold, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, and Shane Mcmahon

This was a great, long pay per view! Here are the ratings:

European Champion Christian def. Al Snow A good opening match. It was a little short but it was better than I thought. Not too much chemestry between the two but they put on a good fight ***
1/2

William Regal def. Tajiri

A very short match! It was ok but way to short. It still had a lot of great action by Tajiri but Regal slowed him down. *** 1/2

Title Unification match:Edge def. Test

Great match! A whole lot of action by both men! The end of the match was a little poor with a roll up but it was a great match! ****

Steele Cage Tag Team Title unification match:Dudley Boyz def. Hardy Boyz

Another great match! This ending was also a little poor after D'von rolled off the table and Jeff split right through the table. Still, it was awesome! **** 1/2

Test won the 22 man Immunity Battle Royal

This match was also good with a part bat part good ending. Too bad Tazz did not beat the crap out of Paul Haymen! This was a good typical battle royal that you would probabaly enjoy ****

6-pac challenge for the Women's Championship: Trish Stratus def. Jazz, Ivory, Jacquline, Lita, Mighty Molly

This was a good and short Women's Title match. The ending was good too. It was funny when Jazz tumbled and bounced through the ropes. ***

Winner Take all eliminatiom match: Team WWE def. Team Alliance

This was by far the best match on the card!!!! Angle turned on the Alliance! This was in my mind, one of the best matches of the year! *****

This is a great pay per view you'll want to see!!!
