Vengeance 2002

JOHN CENA vs. CHRIS JERICHO- 5.5/10.

TABLES MATCH: Chris Benoit & Eddie Guerrero vs. Spike Dudley & Bubba Ray Dudley- 7/10. GREAT!

BISCHOFF-TRIPLE H SEGMENT- GREAT!

WWE CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Jamie Noble(c) (w/Nidia) vs. Billy Kidman- 5.25/10. Short but solid.


WWE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Rob Van Dam(c) vs. Brock Lesnar- 6.5/10. Great stuff. The problem is that it was never followed up on! RVD almost pinned the undefeated Brock Lesnar! Why was there no follow-up?!

TRIPLE H, STEPH, & BISCHOFF SEGMENT- Good swerve-

NO DQ’S, NO COUNT-OUTS MATCH: Booker T vs. Big Show- 6/10. Short but great!

WWE EUROPEAN TITLE MATCH: William Regal(c) vs. Jeff Hardy- 5.5/10

WWE Tag Team Title match: Edge & Hulk Hogan(c) vs. The Un Americans (Lance Storm & Christian)- 6.5/10

WWE UNDISPUTED TITLE MATCH: Undertaker(c) vs. The Rock vs. Kurt Angle- 8.75/10. Would have been a 9, but for some reason, the only babyface in the match decided to cheat, then be involved in a very forced-looking ref-bump.

Overall, a great show. Everything was at least solid, some of it was great, and it was all capped off by an awesome main event.

I could have used some backstory for some matches here, i can't remember half of the things that were going on. Like Booker vs Show

This was just a continuation of Booker T & Goldust vs. the nWo. After the nWo had disbanded, Show still wanted revenge on Booker, so he got a match with him, which Booker won by count-out after Van Daminatoring the ring stairs into Big Show's head (Show had been trying to use them), resulting in show getting counted out. Show wanted to get his win back so he asked Bischoff for a match where Booker couldn't get cheap wins.
