Rate the PPV is Back: WWF Royal Rumble 2002

[Travis40]

Spike Dudley and Tazz defeated The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von) (w/Stacy Keibler) to retain the WWF Tag Team Championship (5:06)
Tazz forced D-Von to submit with the Tazzmission.

An okay match to get the crowd pumped going into the other part of the PPV. My Rating: 2/5

William Regal defeated Edge to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship (9:45)
Regal pinned Edge after hitting him with brass knuckles.

Pretty good match and I think it ended well, the only thing that sucks is that Edge didn't go on to win the IC Title, and RVD did My Rating: 3/5

Trish Stratus defeated Jazz (w/Jacqueline as Special Guest Referee) to retain the WWF Women's Championship (3:43)
Trish pinned Jazz after a bulldog.

Why am I rating this match again??? My Rating: ???/5 ???=0

Ric Flair defeated Vince McMahon in a Street Fight (14:55)
Flair forced McMahon to submit with the Figure Four Leglock.

An "entertaining" match...I kind of liked this match, in a weird way, because both of these guys in a Street Fight was just too funny not to watch. My Rating 2.5/5


Chris Jericho defeated The Rock to retain the "Undisputed" WWF Championship (18:48)
Jericho pinned The Rock after a low blow, sending him face first into an exposed turnbuckle, and a roll-up with both feet on the ropes.

I liked the match, and I'm happy that Jericho retained, but we knew that Jericho was holding it for HHH at WM, which kind of sucked. My Rating: 3.5/5

Triple H won the 2002 Royal Rumble (1:09:22)
The final two participants were Triple H and Kurt Angle. Angle gave Triple H a back drop over the top rope and assumed he won. However, Triple H hung on and came back into the ring to tip Angle out from behind to win the Rumble.

An AWESOME match...and of course I'm a mark for the RR match. My Rating: 5/5

A pretty shitty PPV with the exception of the Rumble Match and Jericho/Rock. The final total in my mind is 16/30 53%, F

The tag match was better then I figured it was going to be. Was surprised at the time to see Spike/Tazz going over.

Regal/Edge was boring. As were almost all of their battles.

I don't remember the chick match, so I can't say.

Flair vs Vince was decent, but I've seen better.

Decent rumble, but it was so obvious who was going to win.

So so card, I can't really reccomend it.

I ordered it live, and bought the tape, because I'm huge HHH fan. I liked the rumble, liked Y2J/Rock, and I thought the McMahon/Flair match was good too. Anytime you have Flair in a match its good, and anytime you have McMahon in a Street Fight its good. So I liked it. You can only do so much with the Royal Rumble because theres 30 men in one match. And this was still in the time when they had 6 main stars. (Austin, Taker, Rock, Y2J, HHH, Angle)

8/10.
