WWE SummerSlam 2003

a good effort for wwe. could have been better since raw & smackdown teamed up again. summerslam is wwe 's 3rd biggest event of the year. again, no extras on the dvd. what's going on here? this is summerslam for crying out loud!WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPLA RESISTANCE VS BUBBA RAY & D-VON DUDLEY 7/10- resistance is getting better. need to drop the un-american angle. a good tag team match with a suprise endingA-TRAIN VS UNDERTAKER 7/10- a better match than i expected. a- train finally looks decent. wasn't a bore at allERIC BISCHOFF VS SHANE MCMAHON 8/10- glad to see shane return to the ring. not a great match but gets a high rating because of the entertainment it provides. involvement of steve austin & jonathan coachman was great. crowd was on their feet.U.S. CHAMPIONSHIP(FATAL FOUR WAY MATCH)EDDIE GUERRERO VS CHRIS BENOIT VS RHYNO VS TAJIRI 7/10- this could have been a 10 if rhyno wasn't involved. should have used cena, mysterio or kidman instead of rhyno. slow start but pace picked up & made for a good match despite rhyno.MATT HARDY VS ZACH GOWEN 0/10- was very disappointed this match was canceled. gowen was brutally injured by lesnar on previous smackdown & unable to compete. hardy declared the winner by forfeit on Heat. would have been a great match.WWE CHAMPIONSHIPKURT ANGLE VS BROCK LESNAR 10/10- even better than their wrestlemania match. an all out effort. this is the match of the year. awesome ending.KANE VS ROB VAN DAM 6/10- weird to see kane without a mask. doesn't seem like the same guy. was expecting a great one; instead was kind of lackluster. a big letdown from these 2.WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP(ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH)TRIPLE HHH VS KEVIN NASH VS SHAWN MICHAELS VS CHRIS JERICHO VS GOLDBERG VS RANDY ORTON 5/10- a big disappointment! was not long enough. only 20 minutes compared to the 1st one at survivor series being 40 minutes. 1st one was a classic; this one was a dud. why was orton in this? he's never been in a ppv; now he's in the main event?should have put booker t back in it.if not for certain moments this would have been worse.overall, this would have been a great summerslam if not for the last 2 matches. smackdown carried this one. raw was disappointing. why was john cena, rey mysterio, billy kidman, big show, charlie haas & shelton benjamin left off the card from smackdown? why was booker t & christian left out from raw? christian is the intercontinental champion for pete's sake!

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 2003This 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 ChampionshipsLa Résistance(c) VS Dudley BoyzA 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- 7/10Undertaker VS A-TrainUndertaker 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- 6.5/10Shane McMahon VS Eric BischoffShane 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- 7/10Fatal Four-Way- United States ChampionshipEddie Guerrero(c) VS Chris Benoit VS Rhyno VS TajiriThis 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- 8.5/10WWE Championship (Match of the DVD)Kurt Angle(c) VS Brock LesnarKurt 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- 9/10Rob Van Dam VS KaneThis 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- 6.5/10Elimination Chamber- World Heavyweight ChampionshipTriple H(c) VS Randy Orton VS Chris Jericho VS Goldberg VS Shawn Michaels VS Kevin NashI 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

DVD received in excellent condition. The cover is a bit risque, but it does sell the product!!! My 14 year old son buys most of the Raw/Smackdown DVDs. He's a big fan of the sport.

Perfect!

Ich bin sehr zu Frieden
