WWF SummerSlam 2001 (8/19/2001)- San Jose, CA

WWF INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Lance Storm(c) vs. Edge- 6.25/10
A good opener. I also have to complement Christian on what he did with the title belt. Good storyline stuff that Christian got over PERFECTLY!

THE DUDLEY BOYZ & TEST vs. THE APA & SPIKE DUDLEY (w/Molly Holly)- 5.75/10

TITLE VS. TITLE MATCH FOR THE WWF LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AND THE WCW CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE: Tajiri(c) vs. X-Pac(c)- 6.5/10

CHRIS JERICHO vs. RHYNO (w/Stephanie McMahon)- 7.25/10

LADDER MATCH FOR THE WWF HARDCORE TITLE: Jeff Hardy(c) Rob Van Dam- 8.5/10
AMAZING! Tons of awesome spots in this match.

TITLES VS. TITLES STEEL CAGE MATCH FOR THE WWF & WCW WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES: Diamond Dallas Page & Kanyon(c) vs. Kane & The Undertaker(c) (w/Sara)- 5.25/10

WWF TITLE MATCH: “Stone Cold” Steve Austin(c) vs. Kurt Angle- 9.5/10
AMAZING match! Heyman did a good job of explaining why Hebner didn’t count both guys out. I don’t think it is a good reason, but it makes kayfabe sense. One touch I absolutely LOVED was Nick Patrick counting to one before getting up and deciding to DQ Austin. It really gave you the sense that the WCW referee was calling for the DQ for the sake of screwing Kurt Angle, rather than for the sake of upholding the rules.

WCW WORLD TITLE MATCH: Booker T(c) (w/Shane McMahon) vs. The Rock- 7.5/10

Overall, an awesome show from the WWF with awesome wrestling and closing off the show with a big moment in The Rock winning the WCW Title.
