Synopsis

Vengeance (2001) was the first annual Vengeance PPV. It was presented by Lugz and took place on December 9, 2001 at the San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego, California. The main feature of the event was a three-match tournament to unify the WWF Championship and the unbranded former WCW Championship into what became known as the Undisputed Championship. Stone Cold Steve Austin competed against kurt Angle in the first match for the WWF Championship. Chris Jericho then competed against the Rock for the World Championship. The winners of those two matches then fought for the Undisputed Championship title. In the undercard, The Hardcore Championship was defended by Rob Van Dam against The Undertaker, Edge defended the Intercontinental Championship against William Regal, Big Show and Kane challenged The Dudley Boyz for the Tag team Championship belts, and Trish Stratus fought Jacqueline for the Women's Championship.

Reviews

bljonathan Christian and Test v Scotty 2 Hotty and Albert:The ending got a big pop with Scotty 2 Hotty and the Worm. Rather short and forgettable to rate highly. Edge v Regal (IC title): You could tell WWE really wanted to make Edge strong, here. Another forgettable match. The fans wanted blood. They got none. Flair and Angle have a really good back stage segment. Matt v Jeff (Lita special guest ref):Really good package promo for this, summing up the rivalry.You know what? I am with Matt's side on this one. As for the match? Just like how Edge v Christian was a surprising dud so was this. For some reason neither Matt nor Jeff got a good pop to their entrance. The crowd was dead. Jeff definitely got more cheers than Matt and he got the baby face comeback routine, whereas Matt got the heel working on the limb routine. I point that out because both guys careers would go different directions with Jeff being far more popular. Not a great match at all but not as bad as people make it out. It was a solid wrestling match and with some good psychology, which the Hardys are often accused of being deficient, but the crowd just weren't into it. I guess the fans just didn't want to see them fight. It's better than the Edge v Christian matches but a bad start.Dudleys v Kane and Big Show (Tag titles):The audience sucks. They don't care for this one either although to be fair the Dudleys at this point were getting a bit tiring and the Big Show and Kane were rather aimless with little to do. Big Show spanking Stacy got the fans into this. This was a better match than a match with Kane and Bigshow should have been but nothing special so far. Undertaker v RVD (hardcore title):Just going to say it. Undertaker is the opposite of cool. He comes off like an old man trying to stay "hip" by riding a bike to the ring and wearing glasses, whilst calling himself a "bad ass". Not a good match. It goes into the crowd which is a trope common at this time but it sucks. It slows the match down and is boring. Not a good match at all and I blame Undertaker. RVD has had a really good year, especially on PPV. His matches against Jeff Hardy and Y2J were some of the best of the year. This was slow, boring and safe for the most part. DUD. Crowd enjoyed it though.Jacqueline v Trish (womens title):Botchfest but Jacqueline is really stiff which is nice to see. Really bad PPV so far. Its up to the main event to save the show. Angle v Austin (WWF title):Fans looked bored. This match was a lot like the Taker/Austin match at Judgement Day. Lots of stomps and lacking in energy and creativity. Match just kinda ends. Rock v Jericho (WCW title):Much like the last match, albeit maybe more energy. Jericho put Rock in a head lock for what felt like 5 minutes. Rock did well to give Jericho offense but the match gets lost on the outside of the ring, so the match never really gets much momentum, until the end where it gets over booked from this point.Main event (WWF and WCW title):Much like Austin v Angle but with much over booking. Overall:Bad PPV but with historic significance. My only explanation is that the guys were jaded but not a single memorable match on the card makes this the worst of the year, despite the significance. Crowd was dead for most of it. Poor effort.
amanwhorocks 1. Test/Christian Vs. Albert/Scotty 2 Hotty - Albert beat Christian - surprise of the evening! Perfect opener 8/10 2. Intercontinental Title Match: Champ-Test Vs. William Regal - Edge scored. Regal has advantage all the match. 7/10 3. Matt Hardy Vs. Jeff Hardy - Decent one with Jeff's victory. What a shame. 7.5/10 4. WWF Tag Team Title Championship: Champs-Dudley Boyz Vs. Kane/Big Show - Lol Dudleyz defeated those power monsters. Show and Kane both "accidentally" hit each other. 7/10 5. WWF Hardcore Championship: Champ-RVD Vs. The Undertaker - In this bout RVD put a solid effort. Taker did nothing special, but is superstar and has new hair cut so he simply took the Hardcore belt from far better wrestler. 6/10 6. WWF Women's Championships: Champ-Trish Stratus Vs. Jacqueline - Match full of bumps and screwed moves. I love Jacqueline's hair. 6/10 Undisputed Champion Matches: 7. Kurt Angle Vs. Stone Cold - Austin cleanly defeated Angle by Stunner. 7.5/10 8. The Rock Vs. Chris Jericho - Simply perfect. Jericho over Rock by Rock Bottom. 9/10 9. Chris Jericho Vs. Stone Cold - Yes, this is the match. Chris Jericho became Undisputed Champion. 9/10 I hope this PPV saw Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan, immortal legends that choke young talent in WCW like Jericho was. I imagined them green from Envy. Ha.
wrestlingsitewebmaster This was a decent PPV, but WWE had to change the name to Vengeance from Armageddon because of what happened on 9/11. Some of the matches were boring, but some were still good.Results from the PPV: - Scotty 2 Hotty and Albert beat Test and Christian in a fair opener.Edge defeated William Regal in a passable match.Jeff Hardy defeated Matt Hardy with Lita as referee. Actually Matt still had his foot on the rope when Lita counted to 3.The Dudley Boyz defeated Kane and The Big Show to retain the WWE tag team titles in a decent match.The Undertaker defeated RVD to win the Hardcore title in a very good match.'Stone Cold' Steve Austin defeated Kurt Angle.Chris Jericho defeated The Rock.Chris Jericho defeated Austin in a boring match to become the Undisputed Champion.Overall Grade - B-
metalhed73 It's almost been a year since the the Vengeance pay-per view that I first watched this when I bought the DVD. I'll tell you, that it was worth the money because the matches did not disappoint me. The best part of this PPV is that the WWE (or the WWF at the time) broke away from it's predictable nature by having the Undisputed Championship won by Chris Jericho`and not by Stone Cold or the Rock (the flagships of the WWF). Last year, no one expected Jericho to win, but after the matches he put on in this PPV, he is more than worthy to wear those straps.
