BRM Reviews WWE King Of The Ring 2002

[Big Red Machine]

WWE King Of The Ring 2002 (6/23/2002)- Columbus, OH

KING OF THE RING TOURNAMENT SEMIFINAL MATCH: Rob Van Dam vs Chris Jericho- 7/10
Great opener, but the aftermath seemed a bit unnecessary. RVD doesn't need an injured back to be an underdog in the finals. He will be facing BROCK FREAKIN' LESNAR

KING OF THE RING TOURNAMENT SEMIFINAL MATCH: Test vs. Brock Lesnar (w/Paul Heyman)- 6.25/10
Good power match.

WWE CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: The Hurricane(c) vs. Jamie Noble (w/Nidia)- 6.5/10

EDDIE GUERRERO PROMO- decent

RIC FLAIR vs. EDDIE GUERRERO- 5.75/10
How in the world did the referee not see that low blow? Anyway, this wasn't bad until the dumb finish.

WWE WOMEN'S TITLE MATCH: Trish Stratus(c) vs. Molly Holly- 5.75/10
Great storytelling here. These two definitely brought the hate.

KURT ANGLE vs. HULK HOGAN- 6/10

KING OF THE RING TOURNAMENT FINALS: Rob Van Dam vs. Brock Lesnar (w/Paul Heyman)- 6.5/10
Disappointing for a King Of The Ring Final, especially between these two guys, but the fault truly lies with the person who thought it was a good idea to only give them nine minutes.

WWE UNDISPUTED TITLE MATCH: The Undertaker(c) vs. Triple H- 7.5/10

Overall, a disappointing show from the WWE. The wrestling was mediocre, with nothing being bad, but nothing worth going out of your way to see, either. The tournament final was disappointing, and Flair and Eddie should have been much better considering both the time and talent involved.
