Pretty Good
Highly Overrated But Still Good
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Considering the Invasion angle was a poor start (Booker T vs Buff Bagwell anyone?) WWE really did manage to produce a very good PPV which attracted a whopping 770,000 buys. I even stayed up and watched this PPV on Channel 4 till 5 o clock in the morning! Results from the PPV: - Edge and Christian defeated Lance Storm and Mike Awesome in a decent opener.Earl Hebner defeated Nick Patrick in a crap match with Mick Foley as referee. After the match Foley slapped the mandible claw on Patrick.The APA (Bradshaw and Faarooq) defeated Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo in a fair match.Billy Kidman defeated X-Pac in a grand match. However Kidman hurt his knees during the match and was out of action for about 8 months after.The Big Show, Billy Gunn and Intercontinental Champion, Albert defeated Hugh Morris, Shawn Stasiak and Kanyon in a passable match.Lita and Trish Stratus defeated Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson in a boring match.Raven defeated William Regal in a crap match.Tajiri defeated Tazz in a fair match.Rob Van Dam defeated Jeff Hardy to win the Hardcore title in a fantastic battle.Booker T, Diamond Dallas Page, The Dudley Boyz and Rhyno defeated The Undertaker, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Kane, Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho when Austin turned heel and stunnered Angle.Overall Grade B
An event Pro-Wrestling fans have been waiting for, WWF Vs WCW Vs ECW, but what it turned out to be was the WWF Vs WCW/ECW. From the start the angle looked OK, WCW wrestlers started appearing every where, then they led into this PPV.Hardcore Title Match: RVD Vs Matt Hardy awesome match, these guys had a couple of classic matches, fighting for the hardcore title. I only wish this match went longer, and had some more spots in it. But it was a very good match, both men worked the match well. Bra & Panties match: Lita & Trish Stratus vs. Stacy Kiebler & Torrie Wilson never really took off, it wasn't a great match, was OK for people that liked to stare at the woman, but if you wanted a good wrestling match, this wasn't it. Stacy didn't look at all confident in the ring, nor did Torrie. Both Lita and Trish tried their best to pull this one off and save it, but it was dead.Earl Hebner vs. Nick Patrick was one of the worst matches ever, even having Mick Foley as guest ref didn't save this match from being a complete dud.Edge & Christian vs. Lance Storm & Mike Awesome pretty good match, was a couple of blown moves in this match, but it was still a good one.Some of the other matches were good, the PPV provided a good lift off for the storyline, but the WWF killed it off by making many of the WCW wrestlers after this PPV job out, and really didn't give this angle a fair go.
After Years of Bad Talking and Stuff The War of WWF and WCW can Not fight Each outherWhen Vince Bought WCW to Me the WWF was not the Smae Againi Saw this PPV and i was in All Seeing Wrestler that was never thought of Fighting each outher was unrealbut as Good as i thought it was it now know as the Start of a fail Storyline and is Still Fell today by the Flailing Thing that is try TodayOver all a Good PPV a Must See For all Fans of Wrestling
Invasion 2001 was a pretty good wrestling event. The theme was that WCW had invaded the WWF and at this event the WWF would be fighting for it's existence. Of course, everyone knew that the WWF owned WCW in reality. Civil war is probably a better term than Invasion for this PPV.The matches were very good. I found the referee's match very amusing. I also liked the bra and panties match between Lita/Trish Stratus and Torrie Wilson/Stacy Keibler.Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy also had a great match which was almost as good as the main event itself.The main event was brilliant-and it had a surprise ending (wrestling is only exciting when there are surprises). Austin, Angle, The Undertaker, Chris Jericho and Kane had a wild match with Rhyno, the Dudleyz, DDP and Booker T. It was a brilliant way to end the show.
