Vengeance 2001

1. Scotty 2 Hotty + Albert defeated Test + Christian by pinfall

It seems as if they never could figure out what to do with Christian during this time period. This was your standard opener.

Rating: 2 (out of 5)

2. Edge defeated William Regal by pinfall

This match was essentially a squash match with a fluke win. I like that they made Regal look good, but it made Edge look like he was an underdog, which he shouldn't be.

Rating: 2

3. Jeff Hardy defeated Matt Hardy by pinfall

Since neither was truly a heel, although Matt tried to play the role, this was kind of a strange match. It wasn't boring, but not your typical Hardy match either.

Rating: 2

4. The Dudley Boyz defeated Big Show + Kane by pinfall

This wasn't as bad as one would expect, but essentially just a Raw match.

Rating: 1

5. Undertaker defeated Rob Van Dam by pinfall to win the Hardcore Championship

Okay, we know the Undertaker is as tough as they come. But did they really need to put the Hardcore belt on him to prove it? Really, that isn't all that important, but the fact that RVD didn't get the big win does bother me. He was one of the hottest attractions at this point and he could have really benefitted from a victory here.

Rating: 2.75

6. Trish Stratus defeated Jaqueline by pinfall

This was so short that there's no way they could have given us something that mattered.

Rating: .25

7. Steve Austin defeated Kurt Angle by pinfall

These two are incapable of a bad match, but given the fact that Austin knew he was going to have another match later on, he knew he had to pace himself.

Rating: 3

8. Chris Jericho defeated The Rock by pinfall to win the WCW Championship

***Match Of The Night***

This at the time was a huge shocker, as everyone was anticipating Austin/Rock. These two are another pair incapable of a bad match and this was a real good one.

Rating: 3.75

9. Chris Jericho defeated Steve Austin by pinfall to win the Unified Championship

There weren't a whole lot of people that thought Chris Jericho would be the first ever Unified Champion. As a diehard fan of Chris Jericho, this moment is right up there with his debut for favorite moments. The match itself wasn't as good as his match with The Rock, but it is still fun and a great ending to the show.

Rating: 3

Well, I'm torn here. The undercard is kind of blah and there is no match of the year type match on this show. But then again, my favorite wrestler made history and had two real solid matches. I can't say it's the best show, but one that everyone should see for history purposes.
