Customer Reviews of WWE - Invasion 2001 [Region 2]

WWE vs. ECW & WCW
I was excited when this angle first kicked off. I had nothin but high hopes for the dream matches soon to come. But I was disappointed with this angle for the most part. Even more disappointed when I seen some of the real talent barely pushed then just later released.<
><
>Mike Awesome & Lance Storm vs. Edge & Christian<
>Being that Awesome and Storm blended well together in WCW, I wasn't surprised this match would be pretty good. Especially matched up against Edge and Christian. Pretty good opener. 4/5<
><
>Nick Patrick vs. Earl Hebner<
>This was referee vs. referee. I didn't care for this match all. They could have added anything but this. 1/5<
><
>WWE Tag team Championship vs. WCW championship<
>Sean O Haire & Chuck Palumbo vs. APA<
>Decent match. But I expected more from these 2 teams. Especially Palumbo and O' Haire. 3/5<
><
>Cruiserweight vs. Light Heavyweight<
>Billy Kidman vs. X-Pac<
>Another good match. These two mixed very well together. One of the better ones on the card. 4/5<
><
>William Regal vs. Raven<
>Boring match is all I got to say. I was very disappointed with the way Raven had been used in wwe. 2/5<
><
>Big Show, Billy Gunn, & Albert vs. Kanyon, Shawn Stasiak, & Hugh Morrus<
>Short match. A couple of cool spots to me. Especially Big Show chokeslammin' the he11 out of everyone. 3/5<
><
>Tajiri vs. Tazz<
>Man I seen much better from these two. In fact this a big step down from these two. Still it was ok at best. 2.5/5<
><
>Hardcore Championship<
>Jeff Hardy vs. RVD<
>Match of the night without a doubt. These two have never disappointed from what I've ever seen. This match even left the ring for some cool spots. 5/5<
><
>Tag Team Bra & Panties<
>Trish Stratus & Lita vs. Stacy Keibler & Torrie Wilson<
>I really dont care for these matches at all on ppv. They should have kept this on RAW. They are fine though, I'll say that much. 1.5/5<
><
>The Inaugural Brawl<
>WWE vs. WCW& ECW<
>Stone Cold, Undertaker, Kane, Kurt Angle, Y2J vs. Dudleyz, Booker T, DDP, & Rhyno <
>Cool match that got out of control early. Brawling outside the ring. Some good wrestlin' and fightin' inside the ring. All he11 breaks loose. Then a surprise ending. You really couldn't ask for much more, except it should have been elimination. 5/5<
><
>This feud would go on to around November. It definitly did deliver some memorable matches on ppv and both raw & smackdown. Too bad they suffered so many injuries. It could have been a whole lot better.

Not great but not bad either.
I personally liked the fact that Invasion was the beginning of the storyline between WWF VS WCW & ECW but this one was not that great. Most of the matches on this card are just fillers and features wrestlers that we don't really care about; and with good reason. There are two matches that stand out in those possiblities and they are the Jeff Hardy vs Rob Van Dam Hardcore Title Match and the Inaugural Brawl, with a shocking ending. The bra & panties tag team match is always enjoyable and the first match between Edge and Christian against Lance Storm and Mike Awesome was good as well.<
><
>Not recommended viewing if your not a fan of the Alliance storyline but great if you are an old WWF collector.

The Beginning Of The Invasion
Before I get stated, why are most of you people writing reviews about a fantasy WWE vs. TNA event that isn't going to happen! Take that crap to a fantasy league or something but it doesn't belong here wasting space for the ACTUAL DVD REVIEWS!<
><
><
><
>Now that I got that rant out the way, this was the beginning of the WWF vs. WCW/ECW "Invasion" storyline that would consume the WWF for most of 2001. This PPV kicked it off & it actually was a good start to the storyline as we got some fantasy matchups here that people wanted to see. The only problems here were that half the PPV was filled with "filler" matches that people could really care less about and only put on here to get as much of the current "WCW" roster & old ECW alumni on the card.<
><
><
><
>Edge & Christian vs Mike Awesome & Lance Storm - This was a good opener at Awesome & Storm made a good combination in WCW while E&C were one of WWF's best (if not THE BEST) tag teams at that time. Good & fasted paced which as a good way to kick off the PPV.<
><
><
><
>WWF Referee Earl Hebner vs. WCW Referee Nick Patrick with Mick Foley as the special referee - Suppost to be a comedic match but was really just crap.<
><
><
><
>WWF Tag Team Champions APA vs WCW Tag Team Champions Sean'O Haire & Chuck Palumbo - The first of "champions vs. champions" matches but nothing really memorable here but it was a good match to watch.<
><
><
><
>WWF Light Heavyweight Champion X-Pac vs WCW Champion Billy Kidman - The match itself didn't go real long but it was an average match between the two but they would go on to have better later in the year.<
><
><
><
>William Regal vs Raven - This was a filler match that was really just there & boring for the most part.<
><
><
><
>Big Show, Albert, Billy Gunn vs Kanyon, Hugh Morris, Shawn Stasiack - Another filler match that was just there like the previous match, again nothing special here.<
><
><
><
>Tajiri vs Tazz - If your expecting the type of match they had at "Heatwave '99" then look elsewhere because you won't get it here as this was real quick & again, nothing memorable.<
><
><
><
>WWF Hardcore Champion Jeff Hardy vs RVD - It's ironic that RVD's first WWE match was against Jeff Hardy & his return match is against Hardy once again. Hardy & RVD have similar styles so this match stole the show and was one of top matches of the year. Hardcore match except they were high flyin' & everything instead of bashing each other's heads in with weapons. Great match. <
><
><
><
>Bra & Panties Match: Torrie Wilson & Stacy Keibler vs Trish Stratus & Lita - This is exactly what you would expect it to be...the T&A segment of the night.<
><
><
><
>Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kane, Undertaker, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle vs. Booker T, DDP, Dudley Boyz, Rhino - This resembled just about every other multiman main event at a PPV in which it was well paced brawl for everyone involved to get their moments along with cool spots at the end before the finish happens. A fun main event.<
><
><
><
>In the end, there were only three matches worth talking about and the match of the night is available on a better DVD worth the money you would pay for it (RVD's "One Of A Kind" DVD) so I would suggest that if you can get this cheap or used, then go head but otherwise it's passable.
