I'm sorry, but I have to post this...

[Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

I was looking over the DVD's/Tapes at Amazon.com and fell upon this review for Summerslam 02

 

Reviewer: J.B from Dudleyville, USA

Summerslam is my favorite PPV of the summer! Right now the WWE has put out some really lame PPVs in 2002. Such as Wrestlemania X8 and King of the Ring. But now the WWE PPVs have gotten back on track, thanks to Summerslam 2002! I gave my reviews on the matches down below.

 

Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio

Great opener with a ton of high flying moves from Rey. Angle did a great job with this match also.

 

Chris Jericho vs. Ric Flair

Okay match with a lot of knife edge chops to the chest from both men. I still think that Flair needs to retire, he usually makes his matches long and boring.

 

Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero

This match started out fast paced, but when Edge injured his arm the match got boring.

 

WWE Tag Team Championship

Lance Storm & Christian vs. Booker T. & Goldust

Okay tag team match. I couldn't figure out why Lance and Christian where at this PPV. Why was Lance at Summerslam and not at Wrestlemania!? To me Christian and Lance are pathetic wrestlers who don't deserve to be at WWE PPVs. Booker and Goldust saved this match from getting a bad review, even though they lost.

 

WWE Intercontinental Championship

RVD vs. Chris Benoit

Pretty boring. RVD was really good in this match, but Benoit made the match boring with his Crippler Crossface adn other boring submission moves.

 

Test vs. Undertaker

Why was Test at this PPV!? Test is also a small star who dosen't deserve to be in WWE PPVs. A lot of people said that this match was slow, but to me this was a fast match with great action. Towards the end of the match the action was even greater.

 

Non-Sanctioned match

Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels

GREATEST MATCH OF THE WHOLE NIGHT! Forget the Hogan vs. Rock match at Wrestlemania, this match between HBK and HHH was 100 times better than then the pathetic match between Rock and Hogan at Wrestlemania! At first I was dissappointed of this PPV because it didn't have no TLC matches, but I was wrong! HBK and HHH put on a great performance with tables, ladders, and chairs!

 

WWE Undisputed Championship

Rock vs. Brock Lesnar

Great match, but a little bit short. This was a good match, but the crowds reaction on the Rock ruined the match. I couldn't understand why everyone hated the Rock, knowing that he was the babyface in this match. This was a short and decent match, but Paul Heyman getting rock bottom through the announcers table was pathetic.

 

 

 

I literally fell out of my chair laughing.

[Guest Sakura]

Where's the funny?

[Guest cynicalprofit]

*looks around*

I sees no funny.

Maybe its just me laughing at the markish comments. I dunno.

[Guest cynicalprofit]

if you would mention who said it and where its from, it might become funny...it just sounds like a marks opinion.

[Guest Sakura]

Oh, I get it. It's a "look it's a mark, they're so bellow us!! hahahaha!" funny.

[Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

BAH TO YOU! YOU RUINED MY FUN!

[Guest art_vandelay]

It's not that funny, if at all. Kinda elitist actually. Can you not see where this guy is coming from, though? Some marks don't like psychology because they aren't even aware that such a thing exists. BTW, I do think that Christian and Lance suck.

[Guest bob_barron]

I also missed the funny here- it's just this one fan's opinion.

 

Christian and Lance Storm did kinda suck as a tag team

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Hell, I was at SS 02 and 99 % of the crowd agreed with what this guy thought of RVD/Benoit.

 

 

I refuse to be an eletist.

[Guest liam77]

I can see where Hollywood is coming from. For me what makes it funny is the fact the guy says "Summerslam is my favourite PPV of the summer!" and then barring Angle/Rey and HBK/HGH he says every match is boring!

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

He liked the ME and Test/Undertaker. He also liked RVD/Benoit till "Benoit brang the boring submission moves"

[Guest Incandenza]

I liked RVD/Benoit, too, until RVD "brang the boring" no-selling.

 

Anyway, the kid has shitty taste. It's not funny, though.

I mean Hogan v John Tenta was SO much more compelling than a Hary v Benoit match was....

 

"boring submission moves"....indeed.

Seriously, though. Whenever, RVD did *anything* the crowd ate it up. I was embarrased for Benoit. He did his 500 German suplexs to chants of RVD, or total silence, while RVD did all his moves to huge cheers. This is no exaggeration. It's just pathetic to see the WWE has a possible solution to the problem of finding a top face and they won't even try to see if he can run with the title.

I am not a RVD mark and I agree.

 

It is pathetic that the Roid Meat Missile precludes the solution...

Yeesh, do we have to get into this yet again?

 

People just want to see RVD's spots, and not a psychology-laden wrestling match. This is it in a nutshell, now can we please move on?

 

Oh, and it's elitist.

Wow what a fucking Nazi.

 

 

Heaven forbid we get an argument.

 

 

Just because *you* don't want to talk about it.

 

 

You're pathetic, and you disgust me.

[Guest Mulatto Heat]

I hope I continue to do so. Shouldn't you be in the puro folder getting after the pompous assholes?

 

EDIT: The reason I posted in the first place in here is that the match in question gets talked about over and over again, with the same arguments reiterated. Considering there were more memorable matches on the card, it surprises me. You might as well search for posts on the subject, it would save time.

 

Oh, and just so I'm covering my bases, when I said "people just want to see RVD's spots etc." I did not mean it in a bad way.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Wait... did they actually post that in the puro folder?

 

 

(Goes to check it out)

 

 

Oh...My...God

 

 

I gave up on the joshi geeks long ago.

[Guest netslob]

Oh, I get it. It's a "look it's a mark, they're so bellow us!! hahahaha!" funny

 

why would you "bellow" at him? why would that be funny?

[Guest RenegadeX28]

That is one of the funniest reviews of a PPV.............EVER!

[Guest cabbageboy]

This might sound goofy but I know where he's coming from. Watching the PPV at the time I was fairly bored by RVD/Benoit, and a lot of it was due to Benoit working the shoulder for 20m. I was also annoyed by this in the Edge/Eddie match, especially when Edge used his bad shoulder to spear Eddie for the pin.

 

And yeah I did think HHH/Shawn was the best match on the show. And yeah, I too wondered why the hell the crowd turned on Rocky and cheered the (at that point) heatless wonder Brock. It amused me, but I still had to wonder.

[Guest LaParkaMarka]

Relax Hollywood, I found the review to be quite amusing.

 

And since when was it wrong to be elitist?

[Guest Anglesault]

.

 

Test vs. Undertaker

Why was Test at this PPV!? Test is also a small star who dosen't deserve to be in WWE PPVs

Well, he shows some intelligence.

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

I'm an elitist and I thought it was funny.

You're right about the clueless dipshits in the crowd, but that wasn't my point. The kid still has shitty taste. If wanting to see someone sell for more than a minute makes me an elitist, so be it.

 

Argh. Now I'm thinking about this match again. Fucking RVD can't even be carried by fucking Chris Benoit. Jesus fucking Christ. Unfuckingbelievable that the cool-to-trash Rock routinely has better matches than that overrated sack of shit, yet Van Dam is the smark favorite.

[Guest Brian]

I was embarrased for RVD. after that match, he's still allowed to be called a pro wrestler.

[Guest Anglesault]

What the hell happened in that match? I missed it three times. (I couldn't get tickets, and something came up on the PPV Sunday AND the Tuesday replay)

[Guest chirs3]

RVD pretty much hulked out of a dozen submissions while looking like he was in little to no pain, and about half the time forgot that his shoulder was supposed to be crushed into tiny pieces.
