SummerSlam 2003

1. La Resistance defeated The Dudleyz by pinfall

I seem to be one of the few that liked the Dudleyz. Their matches were all pretty similar, but they always gave a good effort. This was no different.

Rating: 2.5 (out of 5)

2. Undertaker defeated A-Train by pinfall

This was very similar to Undertakers match at SummerSlam 2002, not horrible, but certainly not great.

Rating: 1.5

3. Shane McMahon defeated Eric Bischoff by pinfall

This was more of a storyline than a match. Add in the fact that involved guys who aren't wrestlers and you have yourself the low point of the show.

Rating: .5

4. Eddie Guerrero defeated Rhyno, Chris Benoit, and Tajiri by pinfall

I am very surprised that more people don't like this match. This was non-stop action from bell to bell and had four of the hottest performers of this time period in WWE.

Rating: 3.75

5. Kurt Angle defeated Brock Lesnar by pinfall

***Match Of The Night***

This is another underrated match, even if it was overbooked. The first half is better than any part of their WrestleMania match and only the finish brings it down a little.

Rating: 4

6. Kane defeated Rob Van Dam by pinfall

This was a match that I actually was curious to watch again and unfortnately it was even more sloppy than I remembered.

Rating: 1.75

7. Triple H defeated Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, and Shawn Michaels by pinfall

This was not nearly as good as the Survivor Series 2002 Elimination Chamber, but it was still a solid main event. Triple H was limited here and they decided to keep the strap on him, rather than give it to Goldberg. This may have been Goldberg's best match in WWE, which isn't saying much.

Rating: 3.5

This is a good example of a solid show. It wasn't a huge show that SummerSlam often is, but it was still good enough to live up to the legacy of the August show. The Lesnar/Angle match and the US Championship match are both extremely entertaining and worth a watch.

Overall Rating: 78%
