Now then wrestling fans it's been at the very least three weeks almost four weeks since I lasted posted a review of a wrestling show. This isn't because i've gone of reviewing wrestling shows far from freaking it it's just that there have been other things to review first but just because I haven't been reviewing a wrestling show doesn't mean that I haven't watched or been keeping up with the world of professional wrestling and so join me as I review the 2001 WWE / WWF PPV that is called simply just "Rebellion" enjoy.
So then if you've seen any of these UK based WWF shows then you'll know that these UK based WWF shows don't really have any kind of stories going into them and apart the ongoing WCW and ECW invasion that is still true with this particular show. Since there is no on going storyline going into this show and whatever happens during this show is never mentioned or even brought up on either Raw r Smackdown and so you can basically just watch this show not having watched any other show that's leading up to this show and you'd still fully understand what's going on in my opinion anyways / at least.
The stage for this show is in my opinion anyways / at least a little bit uninteresting this is simply because the set for this show is plain and boring to look at. This is a shame because WWF PPV around this same time period always had some really interesting set and yet for some reason even tho the rebellion brand name had been a well established name as a UK PPV at this point in time the WWF still chose to give us a rather uninspired PPV set in my opinion anyways / at least.
This PPV is just basically one giant screen with two very smaller LED screens next to it with what looks like the 2001 raw Is War entrance way underneath the giant screen. This leaves us with a shockingly high amount of dead space since there's alot of room above the two smaller screens for you to at least put on the British / English or even the United Kingdom flag heck given that this show takes / took place in Manchester England you could have done something with that fact and incorporated that into the set / stage design for this particular UK based WWF PPV in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then I will very freaking fully admit that I straight up forgot that DDP (Diamond Dallas Page) was even apart of the WWF at during this time period and as such I completely forgot about his creepy just straight up weird as all heck motivational speaker gimmick that they had do for some time and well this gimmick is just so freaking bad. Like it's a wonder that this guy who was an unstoppable main eventer in WCW because just based of this gimmick you'd be forgiven for thinking that this guy was a jobber in WCW instead of being a main eventer in WCW in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then there is one thing that really did bug me about the The Dudley Boyz v The Hardy Boyz v The APA match and that's the fact that Matt Hardy wasn't even the legal man when he got the pinfall none of the The Hardy Boyz were the legal man. It was i think D-Von Dudley and Faarooq that were the legal men and so as such The APA shouldn't have been eliminated because Faarooq was being pinned and thus defeated by somebody who isn't the legal man in that particular at that particular time but the overall match was fairly solid tho so there's that at lest in my opinion anyways / at least.
So now then like alot of you i'm assuming at least I forgot about Edges "Never Gonna Stop Me" theme song and well all that I can say is that that song is amazing. Like I honestly forgot how good that that song was and all throughout Edge's entrance for his steel cage match against Christian I just kept on singing alot to Edge's theme song an the same thing is also true for Christians for epic and very awesome theme song as well since yeah like I just said Christians theme song that he used around this time period is just awesome and both theme just totally reek of awesomeness in my opinion anyways / at least.
As entertaining and as funny as these segments are I could've done without seeing Chavo Guerrero and Hugh Morrus trying and failing to interview the WWF women / divas / female superstars. Simply because it was a one joke segment which somehow lasted three whole segments but tho I will admit that the final of these three segments which was with Mighty Molly Holly did have a really funny Mighty Molly Holly ending which i'm not going to spoil because it did get a genuine laugh out of me personally in my personal and very humble opinion anyways / at least.
Now then this particular show / PPV has / had a grand total running time of exactly two hours and fifteen minuets and twelve seconds. Which in my opinion this running time was bit on the long side for a show that's essentially none canon but at the same time this PPV event really did fly by and alot of that is due to how well timed everything is and as such I cannot think of a single thing should cut out of this show since pretty much everything that's in this show is entertaining to watch on some level in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then since this show is a WWF wrestling show after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this very show and well in my opinion anyways / at least the actual wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this very show is very mixed bag of affairs. Since while there are indeed some good matches like for example The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin there also some bad matches like the Torrie Wilson and Lita vs Mighty Molly and Stacy Keibler match is just plain bad in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
Overall this was a rather solid and as well as being a rather entertaining show and it's in my opinion anyways / at least one of if not the best classic WWF UK based PPV that i've seen in a very freaking long time but that doesn't mean that this is perfect show because it's not but what makes this show entertaining is just how much fun every one is quite clearly having in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this show in this very review and as such this show / WWF PPV / UK based WWF PPV gets a great and old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and lastly from Google Images. With my personally favourite website to use to get images from this episode being the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page actually has alot of images from this episode and plus all of the of the images that are currently up and featured and on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being fairly high definition and since this is my first Pro Wrestling review / post since the passing of the now very late Shannon Claire Spruill AKA Daffney I would just like to say rest in piece Daffney and if any of you who are reading this review are having mental health problems and even or shall we say deadly thoughts then please do get some help , remember that it's OK to feel sad and to feel exactly how you personally exactly feel and more importantly remember that you are all not alone in the freaking slightest.
