WWF Rebellion 2000 Review

 

Wrestling fans we over here in the UK very freaking rarely get to have any WWE PPV's held over here which is a shame because the UK has some of the best wrestling in the entire world and well to help to prove my point I thought that i'd do a review of another UK exclusive PPV. So join me as I review the PPV that with recent news is going to be hard to watch with the PPV in question being 2000 version of the PPV that is called simply just "Rebellion" enjoy.

Any wrestling fan that's worth there sault will tell you that any of these UK exclusive shows have to no story to tell whatsoever and the same thing is true for this show as well. Yes some storylines are being advanced but not in a major way that would effect the mainstream WWE canon which is a good thing since it means that these shows aren't really required viewing but at the same time they are there if you guys want to freaking watch them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

The set for this show is just one big screen with two slightly smaller screens at either side of the big screen. Which means that we do indeed get alot of dead space which very easily could have been filled with all of the usual England stuff that the WWE has and that the WWE likes to bring out whenever they do a show that's set or even freaking taped in England / the UK in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then they even could have created a UK set that they use whenever they are putting on either a Rebellion or an Insurrextion. Since it would make those shows look a big more different from any of the usual WWE / WWF shows and heck given that all of thse shows were being produced when the WWE / WWF was at its most popular they very could have afforded to have one or two UK exclusive PPV sets in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then I have to very full admit that I completely forgot that Debra was even the Lieutenant Commissioner of the WWE / WWF. Heck i dont know why Debra was even in this role since she does nothing of note in this role and she does nothing of note in this actual she's literally only there just to be a piece of eye candy and nothing more then that and heck she gets only one sentence of dialog where as Mick Foley gets several paragraphs worth of dialog all of which leads me to believe that Debra really wasn't needed for this show at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then since Jeff Hardy is featured in a match on this show I have to mention the situation that is currently unfolding regarding Jeff Hardy. Since after seeing both the match in question and his entrance to / for the match in question it's quite clear to me that the reason why Jeff Hardy was sent home from the WWE tour was / is because he's / he was as high as a freaking kite in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So then knowing that Jeff Hardy is presently going through alot of personal troubles it made his match on this show very hard for me to watch. Not because it's a bad match because it's not but it's because knowing what Jeff Hardy puts his body through by doing all of those dives that he's famous for it makes his matches now alot harder for me personally to watch because you know the path that he's going down or even about to go down and it's not a good path to be whatsoever and it's one that the WWE / WWF really should help him to get of that path that's currently / presently on in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then if there's one thing that I personally really didn't like about this particular PPV it's that the main event has alot and I really do mean alot of outside interference. Which is something that really did take me out of the match and plus I also hated the ending to the Chyna and Billy Gunn vs Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero match simply just because I personally felt that it should be Chyna who got scored the pinfall over Eddie Guerrero and not Billy Gunn who ultimately scored the pinfall over Dean Malenko in my personal freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this particular / very WWE / WWF PPV has / had an exact grant total running time of exactly two hours and twenty minuets and six seconds. Which was in all honesty the perfect amount of running time for this PPV since it means that none of the matches ran to long nor ran to short either and as such every single match was allowed to to come to it's more naturel conclusion all of which is really freaking helped by this PPV's running time in freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then since is a wrestling show after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show and well in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was really good. This is something which really shouldn't come as a surprise to absolutely anybody since the main event for this show is Kurt Angle vs Stone Cold Steve Austin , Rikishi vs The Rock and all four men really do deliver some really freaking good performances in this freaking match in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall for an event that is basically just a glorified house show there was alot more effort that went into this show then that went into this years Survivor Series simply because there was actual effort thrown into this show where as the same thing simply cannot be said for this years Survivor Series in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good as as well as all of the bad things that are in his particular PPV in this very review and as such this means that this very particular WWE / WWF PPV earns itself a freaking grand old score of exactly a freaking 7,5 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 the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.

WWE / WWF Insurrextion 2002 Review

 

Wrestling fans when a posted my review of No Mercy 2002 I had secretly planned another wrestling based review for today. Honestly the show that i'm reviewing today is one that I have very fond memories watching since I used to watch both this show and Rebellion every single year and just like with alot of the classic WWF / WWE shows and pay per views this show wasn't easy to come as I don't have the WWE Network and so I had to use "other methods" to watch both this show and "No Mercy 2002" and so join me as I review what is actually a historic WWF / WWE show the 2002 pay per view simply known as "Insurrextion 2002" enjoy.

If you've seen any of these UK exclusive pay per views then you'll know these UK based pay per views dont follow any of the current storylines. To put it simply these UK based pay per views can best be described as house shows because none of the matches matter and nothing that happens in this show is referenced every again and nor do these matches have any impact on any of the storylines that were going on at this point.

Now unlike what I thought about the "No Mercy 2002" set I actually kind of like the set for this show just to describe the set for this shoe for you all in either side there are two large video screens with a giant X in the middle as well as a smaller video screen underneath the giant X. While this set does have alot of dead space for a show that's basically a house show the set does honestly look pretty good in my opinion.

If you know this card that you'll know that this event featured the late great Eddie Guerrero who has just started his second run with the company. I have to say that even Eddie Guerrero was a heel in this show it was still fun to see Eddie Guerrero again and it honestly reminded me of how good a wrestler Eddie Guerrero truly was since even tho he's a heel character in this show you can't help but be won over by him in his antics.

This event features future WWE Hall Of Famer Trish Stratus in a tag team with Trish Stratus teaming up with Jacqueline to take on Molly Holly and Jazz. I have to admit that they do a good job of protecting Trish Stratus in this match since she's paired up with three women who could and still can wrestle and it helps that the match itself honestly wasn't that bad in my opinion but I just that the match had a bit more time to fully develop since it does feel a bit rushed in some places.

What I found to be annoying is that for some reason Jerry "The King" Lawler uses a lot of British phrases at several times during this event. Not only where the phrases he used un need and unnecessary but alot of the time they were really unfunny as well which makes me wonder why they had Jerry "The King" Lawler say these phrases since he never did it for any other UK based pay per view as far as i'm a where.

Now believe it not this event is actually a historic pay per view since this was the last televised show to use the WWF name since the Raw before this event would use the WWF and the very next episode of Raw and the next pay per view would use the WWE name. That was a fact that I honestly didn't know and if you look at this show you can tell that some changes are about happen since the logo has been changed and the trademark has that thick black outline that was seen on alot of shows from around this same time period.

This event runs for a total running time of two hours and twenty minuets and thirty two seconds which for a show that's basically a house show but put on pay per view two hours and twenty minuets and thirty two seconds is a tad bit on the long side in my opinion. Since like i've said a few times in this review this show was is just basically a house show as such i don't feel that this event needed to be as long as it was if anything the event would have been just as could it was under two hours in my humble opinion.

What you might also be surprised to learn in you didn't watch Wrestling With Wregrets review of this show. Is that technically this show features the first loos of Brock Lesner since the match in question is The Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff hardy) vs Brock Lesner and Shawn Stasiak with the team of Brock Lesner and Shawn Stasiak being defeated by The Hardy Boyz , knowing that Brock Lesner picks up his first defeat on this show to me makes the show worth watching simply because it's something that the WWE will never officially recognise.

Honestly the matches on this card for me at least range from average to bad which is a shame because there are alot of solid wrestlers booked on this show. However to me what brings the wrestling down is the fact that there's no story behind each of the matches as such there's no reason for me to get invested in what i'm seeing because what i'm seeing in the end doesn't even matter in the official WWE canon but I will say that the wrestlers booked on this show do a good job in those wrestling matches but that's just what I think tho.

Overall this was honestly a pretty good show and while I cannot say that it's better then No Mercy 2002 for a show that's a glorified house show you get some pretty fun matches. That being said I did have some issues with this show all of which i've discussed in this review and there are some good things in this pay per view / show / event which i've also discussed in this review and as such this show (which incase you've forgotten is called "Insurrextion 2002" give me credit it's taken me to nearly the end of the review to write that even once) a 7 out of 10 from me, as for where I got the images that I used in this review from I got the images that I used in this review from either the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page or Google Images and i can't say which is the best website to use if you want to use images from this show / pay per view / event since the quality is the same on both the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and Google Images so I say use whichever website you guys want to use.
