Reviews
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
SlyGuy21 For my first review on the site I figured I should cover the worst PPV I've ever seen. I've seen countless PPVs over the years, and this is only the second one that I will not even consider seeing again (the other one being Backlash 2003). You know you have a bad card when three matches are made three days before the show, and one is made the night of. Granted the Smackdown roster was pretty lacking given the departure of Lesnar, and Benoit's move to RAW, but that doesn't excuse these being on a PPV. The 1st match is a slow starter, 2nd match is a squash, 3rd match is the best of the night, 4th match is F'N terrible, 5th match is a terrible women's match, 6th match is a squash, the WWE title match is slow, and has the added feature of an annoying cowbell ringing for 21 minutes, and the main event is a 2 on 1 handicap match that has zero suspense because the only way the Dudleyz could beat the Undertaker is if they shot him in the head. The only reason this isn't a 1 out of 10 is because the Mysterio/Chavo match is really good, but it's on a Rey Mysterio "Best of" DVD, so you don't need to see the PPV to see it. And, I watched it on the WWE network so I didn't have to pay full price for it.
timonlex1 RANDY SACKS if he wanna prove he is good then he could have gone on a match with John Cena from the beginning guess what you sack Randy and that is the reality. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo Randy sacks ha ha ha ha. Randy accept that you are a weak link and you actually know that Cena is good than you are. Gosh I've never seen a person who sacks like you; you are worse than everyone I've ever know and you know what you are afraid of challenges POOR THING. Actually you deserve to be a loser because you already are ha ha. Just pray to your cowboy so that he can pray that you can win because you terribly sack. Since you have started wrestle you have proved that you are a disorganized loser and a FREAK.
kliko400 I bought this Smackdown pay per view on DVD & I've got to say, I was not disappointed.First match- John Cena vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Rene Dupree vs. Booker T in a Fatal 4 way match for the WWE United States Championship.A very great opener which Rob Van Dam first gets eliminated by a roll-up by John Cena. Second Rene Dupree gets eliminated after an F-U by John Cena but Booker T covers to eliminate Dupree. Third & last Booker T gets eliminated after an F-U by John Cena who wins the whole Fatal 4 way match to keep his WWE United States Championship. 6/10 Second match- Luther Reigns w/ Kurt Angle vs. Charlie Haas w/ Miss Jackie {This match was added as a bonus match after an backstage encounter between Charlie Haas & Kurt Angle} Believe it or not this was actually a great match which Charlie Haas tried to pull the best he can to win but to no avail Luther Reigns nailed a freaky looking neck breaker to get the win. 4/10 Third match- Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship These two blow the roof off the arena when they meet one on one in the ring. Despite injuring his knee during the match & getting it targeted by Chavo Guerrero. Mysterio was able to reverse a Gory Bomb into a roll-up attempt to get the victory & still keep his WWE Cruiserweight title. 7/10 Fourth match- Mordecai vs. Hardcore Holly This was just a slight brawl by these two men nothing special. Mordecai wins after what looks like a Crucifix Powerbomb. 3/10 Fifth match- Torrie Wilson vs. Sable Diva matches like these are always boring especially this one. Sable pulls out the victory on Torrie after a reverse roll-up. 2/10 Sixth match-Kenzo Suzuki w/ Hiroko vs. Billy Gunn Another boring match which Kenzo Suzuki pulls out the victory. 2/10 Seventh match- JBL vs. Eddie Guerrero in a Texas Bullrope match for the WWE Championship.Now knowing that this was a first Texas Bullrope match it wasn't really bad. Eddie Guerrero touched the four corners to win. But after the match, Kurt Angle came & said JBL's shoulder touched the pole first which led the decision that Eddie Guerrero lost & JBL won which mean't that JBL was surprisingly the new WWE Champion. 5/10 Eight match- Undertaker vs. Dudley Boys in a 1-2 handicap match Undertaker defeated the Dudley Boys in a good but a bit boring match. After the match Taker decides to not join Heyman's team & therefore let his close friend Paul Bearer get buried in cement. 4/10 So this is the Smackdown pay per view event that I have on DVD & it really isn't that bad, it's pretty good.Overall: Not bad pay per view event as I'll give it a 7/10 & a C
wrestlingsitewebmaster This was not just one of the worst PPV's in 2004, but one of the worst in WWE history!!!Match 1 sees Booker T, Rene Dupree, RVD and US Champ John Cena battle it out in a crap match. Why they put these four in this match I don't know. Cena won but no one cared.Next up three matches, which were the worst in WWE history took place. The first match saw Kenzo Suzuki taking on Billy Gunn in a terrible match, then Charlie Haas takes on Luther Reigns in a crap match. Finally Hardcore Holly takes on Mordecai in another crap match! My god!Torrie Wilson then battles Sable in another crap match! Why?!Light relief comes as Rey Mysterio takes on Chavo Guerrero in a fine contest, and then Eddie Guerrero loses his belt to JBL in a fun bull rope match. The fans were miffed by the outcome, because JBL turned into a millionaire in just one week, whereas he was the APA member the week before.Next up The main event took place. This was the worst main event in WWE history. The Undertaker took on The Dudley Boyz in a p*ss poor contest.I do not want to comment on the rest of this, because it's not worth it!Cena/Dupree/Booker/RVD - 5/10 Gunn vs Suzuki - 1/10 (Just for turning up to the arena) Haas vs Reigns - 1/10 Holly vs Mordecai -1/10 Sable vs Wilson - 1/10 Rey vs Chavo - 8/10 JBL vs Guerrero -7.5/10 Taker vs The Dudleyz - 1/10Just F'N awful!
