3. Kiss My Ass Match: Rikishi vs. Albert

 

4. The Big Valbowski & Chuck Palumbo vs. D-Von & Ron Simmons

 

5. Three-Way Elimination Match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Rey Mysterio vs. Jamie Noble vs. Tajiri

 

6. Crash vs. Funaki

 

7. Intergender Match: Billy Kidman & Torrie Wilson vs. John Cena & Dawn Marie

LesnarHeyman/Edge is fun, **-**1/2.

 

Angle/Benoit vs Guerreros is really good, around ***1/4 with lots of neat spots.

 

Rey/Noble/Tajiri is chock full of goodness but it has the usual repetitiveness from Rey and Tajiri.

 

Booker/Hardy is fun, if not great.

 

Worth $20? No.

Stay away from everything except the tag title match. It's a good **** match but everything else is crap.

From what I recall, it's a decent show, like most WWE UK events in the last 3-4 years, but not worth $20.

 

Edit: I meant 3-4 years, not 304.

1. Handicap WWE Championship Match: Brock Lesner & Paul Heyman vs. Edge

 

I fucking loved this match.

 

2. WWE Tag Team Championship: Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero & Chavo Guerrero

 

Really good.

 

3. Kiss My Ass Match: Rikishi vs. Albert

 

DUD

 

4. The Big Valbowski & Chuck Palumbo vs. D-Von & Ron Simmons

 

Match sucked, but I thought Val-Chuck made an interesting team.

 

5. Three-Way Elimination Match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Rey Mysterio vs. Jamie Noble vs. Tajiri

 

Not bad for a three way.

 

6. Crash vs. Funaki

 

Alright.

 

7. Intergender Match: Billy Kidman & Torrie Wilson vs. John Cena & Dawn Marie

 

Okay.

 

8. Interpromotion Match: Booker T vs. Matt Hardy

 

Good

Three-Way Elimination Match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Rey Mysterio vs. Jamie Noble vs. Tajiri

 

I really liked the first bit and it gets really good when it's 1 on 1. Very decent mat work.

I saw half the show on one of those Fanatic Series, they left out all the filler matches. Angle/Benoit-Guerreros was pretty good, but they were having better matches on SmackDown. The rest of the matches that I saw were alright. I wouldn't reccomend it or anything.

Reminder: Jacqueline is now the Cruiserweight champion.

^ And this has what to do with Rebellion 2002?

^ And this dragged the discussion even more off topic, as has this. I hate when threads like this start. Because a.) they are of a show nearly two years ago, but b.) it's not long ago enough to go in Old School.

Rent it and you'll see that while it is good..not worth $20.00(unless you're loaded) but the HBK/Bulldog European Title match almost tricked me into buying it just because I'm a huge mark for that time frame with the Hart Foundation and D-X...

Just get One Night Only. It's pretty rare these days but it's a fucking kicking show with like no really low points.

 

Tiger - Snow is terrible but the crowd reaction make it worthwhile and eveything else is totally worth a look.

 

Waaaaay better than Rebellion02. And not at that price either.

If you're a hardcore Benoit fan the DVD is worth it because it's one of three times EVER in the WWE that he has busted out the infamous motherfuckin' WILDBOMB~!

 

Note that all three times he's only done the move to Eddy. Somebody on RAW better grow a set and take the pain because that move would be over like rover.

Rebellion 2001 with Jericho/Angle, Rock/Austin and Edge vs Christian in a cage is better than Rebellion 2002

 

Insurextion 2001 has Jericho/Regal in their best match and Angle/Benoit in a 2/3 falls match

 

Insurextion 2000 has Benoit/Angle and Eddie/Jericho

 

 

The tag match at Rebellion 2002 was great in my opinion ****- I'm not sure why heel patriot American Angle was so over as a face, maybe they respected his wrestling skills....

1. Handicap WWE Championship Match: Brock Lesnar & Paul Heyman vs. Edge

Half decent, but the fact Edge doesn't stand a chance in hell of winning drags it down.

 

2. WWE Tag Team Championship: Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero & Chavo Guerrero

Great match.

 

3. Kiss My Ass Match: Rikishi vs. Albert

It's Albert vs Rikishi. What do you expect?

 

4. The Big Valbowski & Chuck Palumbo vs. D-Von & Ron Simmons

A yawner, although the pop for the discus punch was so scary that it bears interest.

 

5. Three-Way Elimination Match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Rey Mysterio vs. Jamie Noble vs. Tajiri

Decent stuff.

 

6. Crash vs. Funaki

Filler...

 

7. Intergender Match: Billy Kidman & Torrie Wilson vs. John Cena & Dawn Marie

Boring.

 

8. Interpromotion Match: Booker T vs. Matt Hardy

Both of them phoned it in...much worse than it should have been.

 

 

Overall...even with HBK/Bulldog on top, it's not really worth that money.

Any idea where one could find that? I'd like to know the rest of the card for One Night Only as well...

One Night Only Card:-

 

 

Tiger Ali Singh vs Leif Cassidy- DUD

The Patriot vs Flash Funk- Technically sound but dull- patriot is a huge heel

Dude Love vs HHH-Another in a series of good matches from these two

The Headbangers vs Miguel Perez/Savio Vega- Seriously- this is a great match!!

LOD vs Godwinns- better than expected

Vader vs Owen Hart- Really good match, Owen is a huge face

Bret Hart vs Taker- IMO Taker's best non gimmick match in the deadman persona

HBK vs Bulldog- Another great match, Bulldog's last great singles match

 

 

edit:- full card only commercially released in uk

Pissed me off that Undertaker / Hart was cut from the US version. Fuckers.

I have the entire show (One Night Only) in MPEG format if anyone cares.

 

I'd rather not sit and package the whole thing for you guys, but it sounds like Undertaker/Hart got cut out of north america and maybe there's some other good matches?
