WWE Armageddon 2002 [DVD]

Armageddon return after a year absence due to 9/11 and it was a good return for the ppv Armageddon. Armageddon was a good ppv to end 2002.1. Four Team Elimination Match for the World Tag Team TitlesBooker t & Goldust vs. Chris Jericho & Christian vs. Dudley Boyz vs. Regal & StormA solid match to start things off. The team of Booker & Goldust with the Dudleyz performed some good double teaming with each other. The crowd really got behind the Dudley Boys. The first two eliminations came so near to each other, it was one after another. The last two teams put a on solid tag match. Y2J & Christian isolated Goldust from Booker here. Once Booker got the tag, he cleaned house. A lot of near falls. Certainly a crowning moment for Booker t & Goldust. A very good opener. 4.5/52. A-Train vs. EdgeThis was a match for Edge getting revenge for himself and Rey. A-Train used that big body of his to wear down Edge. Edge got in some good counters to A-Train's moves. A chair would get introduce which would cause a dq. Edge gave A-Train a very hard chair shot to the head after the match. A shockingly good match. 3.75/53. Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris BenoitA match that was very good but also could have been better. Both Eddie & Chris used some good submissions on each other & reversed each other moves. Eddie would do a number on Benoit's leg mid way in the match. There was many german suplexes from both men too. Eddie did get dirty at times. An exciting match to watch. I enjoyed watching this one. 4.25/54. Kane vs. Batista with Ric FlairI enjoyed this big man match. It seemed like Batista was overpowering Kane at times. Flair got involved of course. A match that wasn't really all that bad. 3.25/55. Women's TitleVictoria vs. Jacqueline vs. Trish StratusDecent women's match up. All the ladies looked pretty good. A women's match worth checking out. 3/56. WWE TitleKurt Angle vs. Big Show with Paul HeymanA good title match that did it's job. It seem in the beginning Kurt tryed everything he could to get the advantage but Big Show just used his strength to overpower Kurt. Angle would use his speed and his quickness to try and take down Show. Angle also did some stuff you hardly see him do on a daily basis. Kurt pulled off some impressive moves on the bigger Big Show. Brock Lesnar also got payback on Heyman & Big Show which would allow Angle to capitalize on it. Pretty awesome match. 4.5/57. 2 out of 3 Falls for the World Heavyweight TitleShawn Michaels vs. Triple H with Ric FlairThe first fall was a street fight. The second fall was a steel cage and the third fall was a ladder match.I have to say the best fall was the street fight. The street fight was very brutal. Maybe even more brutal than their match from summer slam. All kinds of weapons would get brought in such as a steel chair, trash cans, and even a barbed wire 2x4. Hunter really works on the knee of hbk for the better part and using all kinds of "toys" to punish the knee of hbk. Very good first fall. To me, best of the 3.Before the cage got lowered, Triple h would fill the ring with more weapons. This second fall felt a little slow at times but it did had some good usage with the cage. Flair would get himself involved in this fall. HBK would splash Triple H from the top of the cage through a table to tie things up.The ladder match was without of a doubt the slowest fall of the three. The ladder only came into play when needed. Both men took a few hard bumps on and off the ladder. Shawn would crash through four tables at the end and the game would become a seven time world champion. Overall a very brutal match. 5/5Armageddon was indeed that, Armageddon. A pretty good ppv to pick up.

When I saw this ppv I have to say I was hesitant to oder it. The only match I was really looking forward too was the Main Event. However once I saw this in its entirety I realized I did not waste my money. The extras on the DVD are okay, but could have been better, but several matches on the wrestling card made up for it.Fatal Four Way match for Raw tag team championships: This was good for an opener. The crowd was excellent since they were way in the corners of Booker T and Goldust or the Dudley Boyz. I was surprised to see the Dudleyz eliminated so soon, but at least Booker T and Goldust won. A good match. 8/10Edge vs. A-Train: This was a sort of dissapointment since Edge used a chair to get DQ. This is where Albert would formally become A-Trian, dont know why he changed it to that but anything is better than Albert for him I guess. Slow match. 7/10Kane vs. Batista: This was strength and power vs, strength and power. I can still not see Batista as strong as Kane, but somehow he keeps knocking him down. Flair makes his prescence known and causes Kane to lose. This was a good match, but only for RAW. 7.5/10Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero: A good match but slow in some spots. Benoit gets payback from Eddie after Eddie cost Benoit the title shot. The match was very back and forth and Benoit finally gets the win after making Eddie tap out to the crossface. A great match. 8/10Triple Threat Womens Match: Not very good, this was just a card filler in my opinion. Victoria wins. 6/10WWE Championship Match: This was good and suspenseful. When A-Train came out again and ran over Angle the entire crowd went into a confused state. Then Brock Lesnar comes out and ruins the match, not that I am a Big Show fan, its just Angle should have done the angle slam after the interference. The ending looked like Angle won just because of Brock. Still a good match between these two. 9/10Two out of Three falls match: Match of the night. The videotape at the beginning of the match is really awsome. HHH and Shawn's entrances are awsome in this one. Out of all three matches the best would be the cage match. Garbage cans, chairs, and even a table was used when shawn jumped off the top of the cage onto HHH through a table. The street fight was kinda slow but it does have Shawn hitting HHH in the face with a BURNING barbed wire bat. The ladder match also had Shawn falling off the top of a ladder through four tables. This was a great match. 10/10The extras have 5 interviews and the Fatal Four Way match for the #1 contendership for the Smackdown title. That was a good match and Angle gave an Angle slam to edge off the top rope!Also, too the guys, the torrie wilson and Dawn Marie footage is off the page also. The crowd and Al Wilson are kind of annoying though.

Second "Three Stages of Hell" clash...and what a clash: The Game once again steps through 3 stages of Hell..this time against long time pal HBK..but, when it comes to the Championship, not even friendship is sacred in Hell.Only about a month ago since the Heartbreak Kid won the Championship inside the first ever satanic structure Elimination Chamber, the two "on-and off" friends battle it out in what turns out to be a type of match so brutal, it will not happen again untill 2009 (The Bash).All matches leading up to this 3-in1 match are good, but the Main Event alone is worth the buy. Absolutely recommend this.Cheers
