Well the double main event was amazing and with just those two matches the ppv gets an 8 from me, now add Benoit vs Eddie, Batista vs Kane, and the heat match of Dlo vs Jeff Hardy, not to mention the great build up of HBk vs HHH this gets a 9.5/10 from me.

7/10.. The HBK-HHH match and the Guerrero vs Benoit match were both great, but the rest of the card was... meh! Batista vs Kane was your typical big men affair and although Angle was on the card, he faced the Big Show so we couldn't expect a 5 star classic.

If you haven't seen this PPV, make sure to watch the two matches I mentioned above, you can just ignore the rest.

8/10 My bro just bought that on DVD, it was pretty sick. Brock Lesnar was there so I give it points for that one already. There is nothing like 3 stages of hell, that was one of the best matches I have ever seen

 

[Taker]

I am going to give Armageddon 2003 a 7/10, I only liked a few matches. The pay per view was alright but it got a bit boring with Benoit/Guerrero match my best matches from Armageddon 03 are:

Triple H Vs. Shawn Michaels - 3 Stages Of Hell
Big Show Vs. Kurt Angle
Kane Vs. Batista

Aramageddon 2003: 7/10

 

[Montana]

I didnt see it, but it looks like there was just one big main event, and Beniot vs Eddie.

Sounds like a 8/10

 

[03mnm]

This was a decent PPV could have been better. The three stages of hell was awesome I remember when HBK fell through 4 tables at the end that was sick. The Angle/Show match was decent and I liked how Lesnar screwed Show and Heyman. The Batista/Kane was also decent but was ruined by Flair who kept on Interfering. I also remember the Al Wilson segment which was exciting cause Torrie and Dawn kissed and John Cena came out and rapped.

 

[The Rated "R" Superstar]

Pretty good PPV...but not the greatest. I'll say 7.5/10. Michaels vs. Triple H in 3 stages of Hell is what bumps it up to that. The 4 way tag match was good, as was Benoit vs. Eddie. Angle vs. Show was alright.

-- Regarding Eric Young's contract holdout with TNA Wrestling last month, he indicated to friends that he believed WWE would show interest in signing him and thus he held out for a better deal than the Nashville based organization initially offered. There was apparently no interest on WWE's part in Young's services and he re-signed with TNA Wrestling for less money than he was looking for. He was, however, granted freedom to accept independent bookings without company approval.

So much for Eric's hold out plan, lol.

 

[OMR]

reading that made me lol hope he wasn't serious.

 

[PHIL DUNPHY'S MOUSTACHE]

when will TNA talent realise that WWE aren't sweating on them being released to sign them, like TNA are to WWE talent.

IMO the only talent WWE would consider are Kurt Angle, Sting, MCMG and Velvet Sky

 

[The Nicker]

I think Eric Young would bring a lot of greatness to the Smackdown brand, and he really does fit WWE's style. I'm actually surprised that they didn't want him, but still. He's getting used a lot on TNA so why would he want to bail out on them? Stupid move, but glad he's stayin'.

 

[PHX]

I don't think he wanted to leave but rather wanted to use WWE as a way to get more money. Thing is that strat only works for someone who is considered a draw or important to the company in some kind of way not somebody who is a career mid carder at best. Not to mention it's not like TNA values their original guys to the extent you'd think they would.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Eric Young....yeah, he's not anything the WWE would jump out of their pants for.

I'd add Morgan and Burke to the list as well simply because one is a big guy and one is a guy that they liked but just was too immature when they let him go.
