Royal Rumble 2001

1. The Dudley Boyz defeated Edge and Christian by pinfall to win the Tag Team Championships

Things started off a little slowly, but the ending was what you would expect from these teams in this time period. Good stuff.

Rating: 3.5 (out of 5)

2. Chris Jericho defeated Chris Benoit in a Ladder Match to win the Intercontinental Championship

***Match Of The Night***

This is absolutely one of my all time favorite matches. Both wrestlers put in a gutty performance that had a different feel than most of the WWE ladder matches.

Rating: 5

3. Ivory defeated Chyna by pinfall

This was more of a storyline than a match. Short and inoffensive.

Rating: .25

4. Kurt Angle defeated Triple H by pinfall

This was very solid, even if it wasn't a classic. Angle was just getting comfortable at this point with the main event scene and proved that he belonged.

Rating: 3.5

5. Steve Austin won the Royal Rumble

The Royal Rumble is always more fun when it is live. It typically isn't a match that is one you crave to watch over and over. It's hard to really rate these matches. I would have to say this one is definitely in the top half of Rumble matches.

Rating: 3.5

This is a great show. This was really a high point for the WWF/E that led to a lot of great shows. This is definitely a must see.
