R U Ready 2 Rumble?
This, overall, was a good ppv. It had great matches and great moments.

1)Edge & Christian v. Dudleys: This was agood match to start the show off with. The crowd was in to it and so was I.

2)Chris Benoit v. Chris Jericho(Ladder Match 4 I.C. title): This is a great ladder match. In fact, it's one of the best I've seen. It's not just two guys falling off the ladder like other ladder matches; it has some wrestling, weapons, and some big moves in it. This should be in both of their most memorable matches.(When Benoit died, Raw showed his greatest matches and this was one of them)

3)Ivory v. Chyna: In my opinion, this was a good match. Chyna had just been injured by the Right to Censor and this was her first match back. Throughout the match, Chyna was taking out Ivory. Then, at the end of the match, something happens to Chyna.

4)Kurt Angle w/ Trish Stratus v. Triple H w/Stephanie (WWF Title): This was a really great match. It showed wrestling move after wrestling move from HHH which is something we don't see HHH use that much. The storyline for this match had a lot to do with Trish and Stephanie. When Trish gets involved in the match, Stephanie takes her out. The two get into a big fight which brings out Vince. Then at the end Stone Cold interfers in the match.

5)Royal Rumble: It's an o.k. royal rumble match. I'ts not the best. The big suprise is that Drew Carry is in it. So is the Honky Tonk Man. It had big names in it like Undertaker, Kane, The Rock, Stone Cold, etc.

In my opinion, this is one of the best Royal Rumbles ever. All of the matches were good and all of them had good storylines. My favorite match was the WWF title match. It had good wrestling moves and a great fight at ringside. I would recommend anyone to buy it.

In my view, the best Rumble Match ever!
Royal Rumble 2001 started out a huge and phenonemal year in ppv's . 2001 had a great and unpressidented year. Royal Rumble was non-stop action all the way through. There's was a bad match on the card but only due to an injury. Also I have to say that the 2001's Royal Rumble Match was the best in my view, it was unbelieveable. Another thing, watch for Drew Carey's entry into the Royal Rumble Match.

1. WWE Tag Team Titles
Edge & Christian vs. The Dudley Boyz
A great opener. These two along with the Hardys always put on good and entertaining matches and this was no exception. Both teams looked good and the crowd was all in this match. Great tag team match. 4.25/5

2. Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Title
Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho
Talk about a show stealer. This is one of those matches that when you look back on the ppv this match was the match of the night. Jericho and Benoit are both great athletes and they always put on a great show for us. The ladder gets frequently used and they used that thing a lot. The ladder would come into play many times. This match to me was the best IC title ladder match of all time. Just a breath taking match. A classic ladder bout. 5/5

3. Women's Title
Chyna vs. Ivory w/ Steven Richards
This was a personal match for Chyna. Chyna just woman handles Ivory and not letting Ivory get in any offense at all. Chyna would just be dominant all the way through until she re-injures herself in the corner. I give Chyna credit here. She looked absolutly awesome, too bad for the injury though. 2.5/5

4. WWE Title
Kurt Angle w/ Trish Stratus vs. Triple H w/ Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley
This was a great match. This is one of the better bouts these two has had with each other and the Trish/Steph factor did not bring down the match at all. Triple H really works on the leg and knee of Angle and just using everything he could including a steel chair and the ring steps to add more punishment to the knee. The match had some good reversals and counters. This isn't a classic match but it is pretty darn good. 5/5

5. The Royal Rumble Match
Like I said earlier, in my eyes this is the best Rumble match I have ever seen. There was everything in this match from wrestling, entertainment, weapon use, return of superstars, great names to partake in it, blood, great eliminations, just everything.

The Rumble starts out with the Hardy brothers battling themselves and putting on a good show. It really got picked up when Kane entered the match at entry number 6 and started to get hardcore with Raven. Kane had an awesome performance and to me he had the best Royal Rumble performance of all time right here. He really deserves more credit for this match than he gets. The Rock had a pretty impressive showing as well. Big Show had a great return and just chokeslamming everybody in sight and even chokeslamming the Rock through an announce table. Kane was just great all the way through though, throwing out a record of 11 people and lasting well over a hour until he was thrown out by Stone Cold. This Rumble match is a must have, a phenomenal Royal Rumble Match. 5/5

Royal Rumble 2001 is a must a ppv, I highly recommend on this purchase.

A Good Royal Rumble Overall....
I looked foward to the Tag Title match to kick things off, I figure the ladder match would be solid, and the WWE Championship should also be very good. Plus the rumble match should be very good as it usually is, anything can happen during those sixty minutes.

WWE Tag Team Championships:

Edge and Christian(c)vs. The Dudley Boyz


Another match between the two in their feud, Edge and Christian attacked the Dudley's and beat them up and gave them both concussions. Dudley's did a okay job selling it, but it did not hurt the match to much. Both teams were solid which made the match a nice opener for the rumble it was given about 10 minutes probably should have been given alittle more time but due to the injuries that the Dudley's were selling it can be excused. Overall a good opener to get the crowd pumped up, new tag champions. Match Length:10 minutes

Winner: The Dudley Boyz


Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match:

Chris Benoit(c) vs. Chris Jericho


These two had been feuding for awhile over the championship, you know these two will give you a solid match and they most certainly did. Awesome match between the two, match of the year candidate, but definately match of the night as both men gave you everything they had. Jericho nailing Benoit with a chair shot as he tried a suicide dive was a huge surprise and highlight. Great match between two great performers, Jericho wins back the Championship. Match Length: 18 Minutes

Winner: Chris Jericho


Women's Championship:

Ivory(c)vs. Chyna

Did not expect much,but this was a waste of time sure it kept the storyline going between Chyna and Ivory for there Mania showdown. Otherwise it was a waste of time, luckly the rest of the card picks up the ball after this failure. Chyna reinjuries her neck allowing Ivory to take advantage and pin her. Match Length: Under 4 minutes

Winner: Ivory


WWE Championship Match:

Kurt Angle(c)w/Trish Stratus vs. HHH w/Stephanie Mcmahon

Very good match between these two that was expected,it also helped plant the seeds for the feud for Austin and HHH as well as the feud between Stephanie and Trish. It definately did that as Stonecold came in and cost HHH his chance at the title just like HHH did to Austin a couple of weeks prior to it. Anyway both HHH and Angle went at it in a good contest. Match Length: 24 minutes

Winner: Kurt Angle


Royal Rumble Match:

Very good Rumble match, Kane was awesomely dominate and I also think he should have ended up winning the whole thing as he worked hard and really should have been rewarded for his effort. Kane lasted over fifty minutes, Drew Carrey also ended up in the match but he quickly decided to get out of there after he was nearly chokeslammed. Honky Tonk Man returns for the rumble and sings for the crowd but Kane smashed him with the guitar and eliminated him. Haku returned to the WWE also, Matt and Jeff Hardy fought agaist each other for a short time before they eliminated each other. Rock lasted close to 40 minutes, Bradshaw lasted quite awhile. HHH came down and busted up Austin setting up there match at No Way Out. Big Show chokeslams the Rock through the announce table after Rock eliminated him.


Overall Thoughts: Very good PPV, Tag Match was good, Ladder match was awesome, WWE Title Match was also very good with a nice royal rumble match makes this a nice solid PPV to kick off 2001.

A Rumble Classic.
This was the Rumble that began the road to WrestleMania X7 but more importantly, it was leading up to the end of the Attitude Era. With the exception of one match, this event had it all from start to finish.

WWF Tag Team Champions Edge & Christian vs The Dudley Boyz. The Dudleys were selling their "concussion" that received the previous week on RAW, & even though this match was a little short, it was still a good match to being the show & wake up the audience for the night.

Ladder Match: Intercontinental Champion Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho. As far as ladder matches go, this is a lost classic. Jericho & Benoit have never had a bad match together & this one is no exception as both men took sick bumps including a sick chairshot delivered to Benoit when he was flying through the ropes & the moment where Jericho placed Benoit in the "Walls of Jericho" while on top of the ladder.

Women's Champion Ivory vs Chyna. This was more of Chyna dominating till she "reinjured" herself that was only to put over the storyline, along with their future squash match at WrestleMania X7.

WWF Champion Kurt Angle w/Trish Stratus vs Triple H w/Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. This was a solid contest that resulted in another lost classic encounter even though we have probably seen better from these two in the past. The match served it's purpose in not only allowing it to be a great wrestling match but also putting over the Austin/HHH feud into No Way Out but as well as the Trish/Stephanie rivalry when both ladies engaged in a catfight before Vince McMahon stopped it.

Royal Rumble Match. This match was memorable for many reasons that include the reunion of the Brothers of Destruction, returns of the Big Show & Haku along with special cameo appearances from Drew Carrey & Honky Tonk Man. On top of that, this Rumble had some hardcore weapons action in the beginning, along with Kane's tremendous performance & setting a current Rumble record of 11 eliminations, the most of any one wrestler. Stone Cold would eventually win the Rumble but the Rumble's true star was Kane.

Overall, this was one of the most entertaining Rumbles of all time & my personal favorite that began a great year for the WWF. I highly recommend this event as there was only one bad match while everything else was solid.

One match stole the show
The Royal Rumble is always a mixed bag. This years card was pretty weak and the Rumble itself was a mumbled mess. There is only one match on the whole card that actully was worth watching.

The Dudley Boys vs. Edge and Christian: Decent match but nothing really speical happened in this match.

Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit in a Ladder Match: One of the greatest, physical ladder matches ive ever witnessed. This is probably the only reason to see this PPV. Its also on a much better set, WWE ladder matches but if your crazy about scratched out WWF logos, this one doesnt have scratched out logos.

Ivory vs. Chyna: Dont like women wrestling as I said many times before. Call me sexist but I just dont see the point. Well for men to go goo goo crazy over it I guess. I'd rather watch porn.

Kurt Angle vs. Triple H: Good main event even though I hated Triple H at this era.

2001 Royal Rumble: I really thought this Rumble was as bad as 1996. Kane did put on a great performance but I thought Drew Carrey ruined it. I didnt like JR and King promoting his show about every few minutes after he appeared. It was pretty cool to see the Rumble turn hardcore as Raven entered. I always hate when one person gets a burst of energy and WHAM! Its only one guy left after eliminating 6 guys. Of course that was Kane with brother Undertaker. Big Show entered and cleaned house. Once again, Big Show cleared house and then got eliminated way to early. Its funny the dues men put in WWE just to get ahead about four years or so later. I did like Triple H busting open the Rattlesnake and him coming back to win it all. I was shocked at Haku's come back, although that really didnt last long.

A decent Rumble with only one match that was excellent.
