WWF Rebellion 2001 (UK) - November 2001


WWF Rebellion 2001 (UK) - November 3rd 2001 - Manchester, England

Matches
Edge defeated Christian {WWF Intercontinental Title Steel Cage Match} (7/10)
Scotty 2 Hotty defeated The Hurricane (6/10)
Big Show defeated Diamond Dallas Page (7/10)
Dudley Boyz defeated Hardy Boyz and The APA {WWF Tag Team Titles Triangle Match} (7/10)

Torrie Willson and Lita defeated Stacey Kiebler and Molly Holly (5/10)
Steve Austin defeated The Rock {WWF World Heavyweight Title Match} (8/10)

Moments - Positives
A solid PPV event for a UK event made by two fantastic matches which were really worth of a proper PPV rather than just a UK based one. This was Austin and Rock's first match since Austin's heel turn in Wrestlemania and they gave it a lot of time. It was a very well worked match and it lasted for a long time. Truly great. Angle / Jericho was also very good and it was a shame those two did not have a proper feud at any point for the WCW title. The Regal/Tajiri match was also entertaining mainly made by the feud itself and the opening match was very solid for the IC title.

Moments - Negatives
Some random matches such as Hotty vs Hurricane which were there to fill the time. I was also disappointed with the Women's match and thought the Hugh Morrus and Chavo skits backstage with the divas were awful. They were poorly acted and really devalued the PPV.

Overall
This was a very solid UK PPV and they have been in this period of time. It did a good job at continuing feuds between No Mercy and Survivor Series and actually we got treated to some entertaining matches - particularly a classic main event match up between two legends. Certainly better than the No Mercy show in the previous month!

SCORE = 8.0
