WWE Vengeance 2001 Trailers

Vengeance (2001) was the first annual Vengeance PPV. It was presented by Lugz and took place on December 9, 2001 at the San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego, California. The main feature of the event was a three-match tournament to unify the WWF Championship and the unbranded former WCW Championship into what became known as the Undisputed Championship. Stone Cold Steve Austin competed against kurt Angle in the first match for the WWF Championship. Chris Jericho then competed against the Rock for the World Championship. The winners of those two matches then fought for the Undisputed Championship title. In the undercard, The Hardcore Championship was defended by Rob Van Dam against The Undertaker, Edge defended the Intercontinental Championship against William Regal, Big Show and Kane challenged The Dudley Boyz for the Tag team Championship belts, and Trish Stratus fought Jacqueline for the Women's Championship.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

1. Test/Christian Vs. Albert/Scotty 2 Hotty - Albert beat Christian - surprise of the evening! Perfect opener 8/10 2. Intercontinental Title Match: Champ-Test Vs. William Regal - Edge scored. Regal has advantage all the match. 7/10 3. Matt Hardy Vs. Jeff Hardy - Decent one with Jeff's victory. What a shame. 7.5/10 4. WWF Tag Team Title Championship: Champs-Dudley Boyz Vs. Kane/Big Show - Lol Dudleyz defeated those power monsters. Show and Kane both "accidentally" hit each other. 7/10 5. WWF Hardcore Championship: Champ-RVD Vs. The Undertaker - In this bout RVD put a solid effort. Taker did nothing special, but is superstar and has new hair cut so he simply took the Hardcore belt from far better wrestler. 6/10 6. WWF Women's Championships: Champ-Trish Stratus Vs. Jacqueline - Match full of bumps and screwed moves. I love Jacqueline's hair. 6/10 Undisputed Champion Matches: 7. Kurt Angle Vs. Stone Cold - Austin cleanly defeated Angle by Stunner. 7.5/10 8. The Rock Vs. Chris Jericho - Simply perfect. Jericho over Rock by Rock Bottom. 9/10 9. Chris Jericho Vs. Stone Cold - Yes, this is the match. Chris Jericho became Undisputed Champion. 9/10 I hope this PPV saw Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan, immortal legends that choke young talent in WCW like Jericho was. I imagined them green from Envy. Ha.

Scotty 2 Hotty and Albert vs Test and Christian.Good opening but it is exceptionally hard to take Albert dancing seriously. 7/10.Intercontinental title – Edge vs William Regal.Good match with great build up, Regal again an underused superstar of mic and matt capability. Shame about the ending 8/10.Jeff Hardy vs Matt hardy.Two mega stars battling seemed awkward for fans as matt was doing a partial heel turn here. Because of this awkward brother vs brother and Lita as referee it didn't feel right and there were great moves and a controversial ending .Tag team titles Dudleys vs Show and Kane.Good match that was won a ridiculous way, great comedy here from the watching Stacy Keibler 7/10.Hardcore championship RVD vs Undertaker.A very, very good match that went through the audiences and ended in breaking fashion. Seeing Undertaker as a somewhat villain character, and not the good kind, is strange 8/10.Women's championship Trish vs Jacqueline.Good match over fairly quickly 6/10.Stone Cold vs Angle.Good match with great rivalry that went outside the ring numerous times contained some great moves and twists 9/10.Rock vs Y2J.This Jericho villain character is terrible and whilst the guy can still do the moves this was a stretch. Rock delivers great set ups and with a big shout and controversy this topped its predecessor to set up the final for the undisputed championship.Winners of last two matches face off for undisputed championship.Great match and great controversy to round off the PPV with the new undisputed champion.

This was a decent PPV, but WWE had to change the name to Vengeance from Armageddon because of what happened on 9/11. Some of the matches were boring, but some were still good.Results from the PPV: - Scotty 2 Hotty and Albert beat Test and Christian in a fair opener.Edge defeated William Regal in a passable match.Jeff Hardy defeated Matt Hardy with Lita as referee. Actually Matt still had his foot on the rope when Lita counted to 3.The Dudley Boyz defeated Kane and The Big Show to retain the WWE tag team titles in a decent match.The Undertaker defeated RVD to win the Hardcore title in a very good match.'Stone Cold' Steve Austin defeated Kurt Angle.Chris Jericho defeated The Rock.Chris Jericho defeated Austin in a boring match to become the Undisputed Champion.Overall Grade - B-

It's almost been a year since the the Vengeance pay-per view that I first watched this when I bought the DVD. I'll tell you, that it was worth the money because the matches did not disappoint me. The best part of this PPV is that the WWE (or the WWF at the time) broke away from it's predictable nature by having the Undisputed Championship won by Chris Jericho`and not by Stone Cold or the Rock (the flagships of the WWF). Last year, no one expected Jericho to win, but after the matches he put on in this PPV, he is more than worthy to wear those straps.
