    Summerslam 2002

    This was a cracker of a PPV. The first match putting Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio blew the roof off the arena! Next up Eddie Guerrero tries to settle the score with Edge, but 'Latino Heat' lost in a good match. The only real disappointment in my opinion was the match putting Ric Flair against Chris Jericho. It was pointless and did nothing for me.

    The Booker T and Goldust battled Christian and Lance Storm in a good contest, which saw the fans go bonkers for Booker and Goldie! Next up The Undertaker defends the glory of the good US of A and battles Un American member Test in a solid affair. The Shawn Michaels made his return to a WWE ring and battles Triple H one on one. This was HBK's first match in the WWE or anywhere else for that matter, and he did an excellent of making Triple H being a bully! The The Rock battles Brock Lesnar, which sees The Rock getting booed and Lesnar getting cheered!

    Overall Grade - A

    Awesome PPV

    I would have to say that Summerslam 2002 was one of the best PPV the WWE has ever put on. Being one of the many fans in attendence that night I could say that the crowd for this was electric. The best match of the night (and possibly the year) was HBK vs. HHH. This was HBK's first match back in 4 years and he proved that he hasn't lost his touch!

    this is the best pay per view I have ever seen

    The pay per view starts off with Rey Mysterio jr. vs. Kurt Angle. I thought it was an excellent match. There were several near falls and a lot of amazing moves. This match showed why Kurt Angle is such a great wrestler. Even though he and Rey Mysterio jr. have two completely different styles he and Mysterio put on an amazing match. Another match I loved was Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels. because it was a street fight they could use any weapon they wanted. It was the first match that i seen Shawn Michaels in and I instantly became a fan. even though he had been out of the ring for over four years he still had a great match. that match should have been the main event,because it was the best match of the pay per view. The match between the Rock and Brock Lesnar was descent but not as good as the matches between Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio jr. or the match between Shawn Michaels and Triple H. overall I give it an 8.

    Welcome Back Shawn

    Probebly a Lot Of People Will Say This, but it was a bad night to put on a good match, cos you knew HBK HHH would steal the show. Im Not Going To Give The Results, But I Have To Say, Angle/Misterio, Edge/Eddie Brock/rock, were all great matches, but if you have this on video, put the HHH/HBK on straight away. Its Worth It
