Good

While this PPV was the return of D-X, it did feature a few other good matches. It was the only time to see RVD wrestle a PPV as the champion. The only problem I had was too many backstage skits ran too long and made the show kind of like Raw in a way.

Kurt Angle VS Randy Orton: A very good opening match. I love how Orton can pull the RKO out of nowheres.

Eugene VS Umaga: Hate Eugene and its a damn shame Umaga didnt destory Eugene.

Mick Foley vs Ric Flair: This was in Flair's hometown. If that doesnt give the match away, then I dont know what will. The match itself was a bore and they'd go onto have a better match at Summerslam.

Shelton Benjamin VS Johnny Nitro VS Carlito: Best match on the whole card. Its too bad Benjamin and Carlito arent doing anything important in the WWE right now. The only downside to this match was the ending sucked.

RVD VS Edge: A good match but nothing speical. Oh wait, its the only WWE ppv you'll ever see RVD as a champion. Like one reviewer said, this match was stuck in the middle? I know D-X was the seller of the show but the other two matches sucked.

Kane VS Imposter Kane: A storyline that disappeared. Imposter Kane wins a very boring match. Imposter Kane is not Festus Dalton on Smackdown if anyone really cared.

Sabu VS John Cena: ECW is made to look like fools for the WWE crowd. If this was the real ECW, Sabu would have won. Sabu does his usual stuff but its always fun to watch. Very good moments in this match but Cena won of course.

DX VS Sprirt Squad: The Squad won this match...yea right. DX returns and destorys the Squad. A decent match but I wouldnt say it was the best of the reunion tour.

Overall, this PPV was good. A few matches stunk. The extras are on disc 2 are alright but nothing new if you own the New and Improved D-X dvd.

I want vengeance for booking such a weak ppv

This ppv was very disappointing to me for a lot of reasons. And the truth is the more I've watched it. The more I really hate it and my rating just drops even more.

Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton
The opening match and one of the best. This was the rematch after ONS. Except this time the crowd isn't all over Randy. A groundbase match with lots of wrestling. And a sudden ending. Not a bad match from these two, but they've had better. 3.5/5

Eugene vs. Umaga
A squash match that never should have made it to ppv. I like seeing Eugene being destroyed, but not when I buy a ppv. Save this crap for RAW. 1/5

2 out of 3 falls
Mick Foley vs. Ric Flair
I still remember all the build up to this match. It had classic written all over it. Man I don't know if it was the booking or I fell victim to my own made up expectations. I didn't see a "wrestling" match. I saw Mick apply a hold, Flair counter, and Mick grab the ropes. Then I saw a brief slugfest, followed by a quick pin. Then an even quicker DQ. Then Mick beatin the he11 out of Flair hardcore style. I was so disappointed. I actually had to pause the dvd and ask myself, what just happened. Luckily next month they went on to have a better match. But I can't forget this one. 1/5

Triple Threat Match for the IC Title
Shelton Benjamin vs. Johnny Nitro vs. Carlito
The best match of the night right here. Fast paced lots of moves but Carlito deserves the most credit for making this match entertaining. Too bad the wrong man won though. 3.5/5

WWE Championship Match
RVD vs. Edge
This is no typo. The title match is before three more matches, that don't even come close to this one. RVD takes some heavy punishment in this match. It was a pretty good match up with a decent ending. But it consist of the usual stuff whenever its Edge with Lita at ringside. 3.5/5

Kane vs. Imposter Kane
WWE blowin air into the lungs of a decade old storyline. The only problems is this; The match wasn't as good, and the "fake" won. The crowd was in total shock. It seemed that the entire mood just died suddenly. That was the impact of this weak match. 1/5

Extreme Rules Lumber Jack Match
John Cena vs. Sabu
This match was a bit aggravating but it wasn't all that bad. Sabu did his usual thing, to include Cena. Nothing really special about this match. Except the ECW originals made pretty good whipping boys for the wwe's career jobbers. 2/5

5 on 2 Non Title Match
DX vs. Sprirt Squad
This was DX's reunion and the beginning of the Mcmahon and DX feud. The match pulled of some bits of comedy, but I just don't like the spirit squad. I just wish this match was a bit shorter. Nothing really special here. It was just the beginning of a renewed DX's dominance. 2/5

I truly didn't like this ppv at all. But I find it weird that it almost averages 5 stars, when its not even close that. Buy this only if your a diehard fan of wrestling. If not rent this at the most or just skip it altogether. July 12, 2007

Did we see the same Pay-Per-View?

After taking a break from watching WWE that lasted roughly four years (2002 onwards), I recently bought a whole bunch of WWE PPVs to catch up a little. Now, I wasn't crazy about the ones I got (Summerslam 2005 especially), but boy oh boy was this Vengeance an eye- opener. WWE seems to be in really bad shape, but more later, let me have a little summary of the matches first.

The opener between Kurt Angle and Randy Orton was average. They don't seem to harmonise very well, their match seriously lacked coherence. There was one good spot where Angle pulled off eight German suplexes in a row. Apart from that, nothing memorable happened. The ending looked forced.
Then we are forced to watch Eugene vs. Umaga. Now there are 10 minutes of my life I won't get back. No hard feelings, I have nothing against some well- placed, senseless humor in a PPV, it lightens things up, but this was just stupid, pointless, embarassing. It was apparently meant to underline Umaga's power, but failed big way.
At this point, pause your DVD, close your eyes, and think about the great matches Ric Flair and Mick Foley gave us. Flair Vs. Savage, Flair Vs. Triple H, Flair Vs. Hogan, Foley Vs. The Rock, Foley Vs. The Undertaker ... then push "Play" and watch the next 5 minutes of gigantic dissapointment, known as Ric Flair Vs. Mick Foley. Oh, with 2 out of 3 ruling, by the way. Not that it matters. For god's sake, if you have such a ruling, USE IT! Everyone knows that after the 1-0, a 1-1 has to follow to create tension. This kind of match has created dozens of fantastic battles. But this is over literally after 5 minutes!
This is a pure waste of a fan's time and anticipation.
Shelton Benjamin Vs. Johnny Nitro Vs. Carlito for the IC title is by far the best match of the evening. Hands down. Good, fast, well- flowing match with a couple of really exciting moments. Nitro and Carlito are two promising newcomers.
RVD Vs Edge was ... well, let me put it this way: had it been for the IC title, it would have been good. The match itself was indeed nice, but seeing these two fighting for the WWE title doesn't sit well. What qualifies Edge to be a WWE champion? What qualifies RVD? That they have been in this sport for more than 10 years?
Kane vs. Importer Kane wasn't even a rehash of Undertaker Vs. Undertaker, it was the rehash of a rehash of a questionable idea. That being said, seeing these two going at each other was actually pretty freaky. And THAT being said, I wouldn't watch it again.
The John Cena Vs. Sabu Lumberjack Extreme Rules match was as much a disgrace to its origins as the 2 out of 3 falls match earlier. A crash through a table and some moves with a chair doesn't make a match ECW- style. Every TLC match between the Hardy Boys and Edge and Christian from earlier times (god bless them) was more ECW than this.
By the way, this charade also lasted merely 5 minutes.

Now to the main ev ... wait, already? But we haven't seen anything memorable so far, this better be good!
So, the DX is back, huh? I sure hope this doesn't turn out to be as much a parody of itself as the "2 out of 3 falls" and "Extreme Rules" matches.
But it does. Triple H and Shawn Michaels give a little speech before the actual match, but instead of saying anything really funny or witty, they just bellow out their usual catchphrases.
The Spirit Squad is really a damn stupid idea, but they are unquestionably funny. More funny than the DX itself in this match, actually.
Triple H and Michaels aren't the DX, they are playing the DX, and that does make one hell of a difference.

Where are we at with this PPV? What does it do, where is its place in the long, glorious history of WWE/WWF PPVs? I don't know, but it's got to be somewhere at the rock bottom. WWE needs ideas, and it needs them badly. SO badly. Not so long ago, I didn't like the way they treated Chris Jericho. Today I would kill to see him back in the ring.
This whole Vengeance PPV feels like watching some strange revival show.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Doink, Kamala, Mick Foley, Kane Vs. Kane ... and Ric Flair. He's the greatest performer who ever lived, but please! PLEASE, Ric, if you want to continue to wrestle, Get.In.Shape! It looks like Foley is beating up just a really old, wrinkly guy.

And the DX won't survive very long, believe me. It will suffer the fate of the nWo. It won't take very long until Triple H and Shawn Michaels will face each other.

The only consolation can be that after great lows, there are usually great heights.

Please, wrestling fans, open your eyes! I've never seen TNA, but it can't be any worse than *this*! January 6, 2007
