amanwhorocks 1. WWF Tag Team TItle Match: Dudley Boyz Vs. Champs: Edge & Christian - New tag champs. Buh Buh, s*it his pants after they won, when he screamed. 7/10 2. WWF Intercontinental Title Match: Chris Jericho Vs. Champ:Chris Benoit - Octopus on the ladder by Jericho was awesome! Benoit's head butt from the top of the ladder! Jericho then graped the belt. 9.5/10 3. WWF Women's Title Match: Chyna Vs. Champ-Ivory - Great, on standards of women matches. Chyna "hurt" her neck and Ivory give hand over her and got the pin. 7.5/10 4. WWF World Heavyweight Title Match: Triple H Vs. Champ-Kurt Angle - Angle one more time retained, cuz Austin ruined the Game with Stunner. 8/10 5. Royal Rumble Match - Stone cold was the winner and I have no problem with that, but that booking held under the midcarders, like Raven/Saturn and the others that deserved more place there. :-/ And Drew Berryshouldn't be there for sure. 7/10

ricky_says_hi 2001 definitely was the best year for WWF and its first PPV starts things off nicely.TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Dudleys against Edge and Christian a pretty good opener, the Dudleys are always great to watch but there wasn't much coming from Edge and Christian. there didn't seem to be any real threat but it was still pretty solid. lol when the two canucks try to hit D-Von on either side of the head with two steel chairs, he ducks and they bash off each other. Dudleys get a 3-D for the win. 7/10 INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH - LADDER: Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit most action packed match of the night with both men using the ladder and other weapons. i think it was the longest match, Benoit tried a suicide dive but got whacked with a chair from Y2J, Jericho put him in the walls of Jericho while they were both on top of the ladder. Benoit tried a diving headbutt but missed and bounced his head off the mat. Jericho hit him in the back with a steel chair and caused him to flop out of the ring. Jericho climbs the ladder and gets the title belt. 9/10 WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Ivory vs Chyna this goes to prove that Chyna shouldn't wrestle women. it's a pretty one sided match with Chyna tossing Ivory around the ring like a rag doll and having fun with her outside the ring. she goes back inside and tries a handspring back elbow but injures her neck, allowing Ivory to climb on top of her and get the pin. 5/10 WWF CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Kurt Angle w/Trish Stratus vs Triple H w/Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley pretty good bout between two good wrestlers. Triple H of course can't stick to the rules for long and has Stephanie distract the referee so he can hit Kurt's ankle with a steel chair. Kurt gets the upper hand in the middle of the match and Stephanie's voice as she cheers on her husband is like nails on a blackboard. The game cheats again by using the ropes for leverage as he puts Kurt in an Indian deathlock. Trish breaks the hold and Stephanie slaps her. the two have a catfight and Vince comes down to separate them and has to carry Trish over his shoulder while Stephanie chases after them. the ref gets knocked out so he can't count to 3 when Triple H lands the pedigree. Stone Cold comes out and attacks Triple H. Kurt and the referee come round and Kurt gets the pin. 8/10 ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH: It started with the Hardy Boyz double teaming Bull Buchanan and Farooq but eliminating each other with a surprise appearance from Drew Carey. Kane dominates the match but it becomes hardcore as Raven, Al Snow and Steve Blackman bring weapons. The Honky Tonk Man shows up, sings his song and gets whacked over the head with his guitar by Kane. The Rock shows up and so does Big Show and gets eliminated early, he chokeslams Rock through the announce table in revenge. Undertaker comes in and him and Kane clear house. poor Scotty 2 Hotty has to enter alone with both of them. Stone Cold arrives but gets ambushed by Triple H before he can enter the ring. The One Billy Gunn, Haku and Rikishi enter and the final 4 is Stone Cold, Rock, Billy and Kane. Stone Cold wins and celebrates with beer. it would have been better if Billy or the Rock had won because Stone Cold was way overrated at this time. 8/10

evilman574 Royal Rumble 2001 was my first PPV event. I ordered it for the Ladder Match and Rumble match only. And those were the only matches that impressed me.SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!Tag Team Titles: Dudley Boyz def Edge and Christian. Good match to start things off.Ladder Match for the Interconitnental Championship: Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit. Best match of the night. I was surprised that Jericho won. Watch the part where Benoit does a suicide dive out of the ring and Jericho puts a steel chair right into his head. Ouch!Womens Championship: Ivory def Chyna. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Bad acting by ChynaWWF Championship: Kurt Angle def Triple H. Lots of people thought Hunter could pull this off for some reason. Stone Cold interferes and Angle retains his title.Royal Rumble Match: Stone Cold wins by last eliminating Kane. I had my money on Stone Cold and he won it for the 3rd time. Which has not been beaten. Great match with strong performances by. Kane, The Rock, Undertaker, and Rikishi. Drew Carey was pretty funny getting his ass saved by Raven from Kane. Returns of the Big Show and Haku. All of this made this a pretty good Rumble match.8 out of 10.

Xophianic Along with Backlash, Fully Loaded and Summerslam (all year 2000), this was is one of my favorite WWF pay-per-views. Aside from Ivory vs Chyna (which was inexcusable crap), every match was solid and excellent. The Dudley Boyz vs Edge & Christian for the Tag Team Titles was very exciting and a good starter for the great pay-per-view. Kurt Angle vs Triple H for the WWF Title was very good, though it ended differently than I expected. Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Title was the best match of the night and definitely the best of the year so far.And of course there was the main event, the Royal Rumble itself. It was very exciting and entertaining, with great action moments and very funny moments too. It featured the returns of the Big Show, Al Snow and Haku. It included funny moments from Drew Carey and the Honky Tonk Man. The overall Rumble was very good, with Stone Cold Steve Austin winning, of course.Everybody knew Stone Cold was going to win, but the most impressive of the night was obviously Kane. Kane, who has always been one of my favorite wrestlers, was in the Royal Rumble for over an hour. He outlasted everybody and took out more wrestlers than anybody else did. Though he was one of the first ones out, he was also the last one eliminated, and it was almost disappointing to see Austin beat him. You've got to be impressed with Kane. It was truly his night.
