WWF: Rebellion 2001 VHS

Just in case if you do not know, Rebellion along with Insurrextion are WWF's PPV events for England. This is another good PPV from the Ivasion period. It carried over some storylines and feuds from No Mercy to the Survivor Series event. The two World Title matches are very good and the under-card isn't so bad either.Steel Cage Match for the IC TitleEdge (C) vs. ChristianThis feud played off pretty well. But this match certainly didn't live up to their Ladder Match from No Mercy. Some good spots with the cage. No blood in this one but still good. And the ending is something we haven't seen yet since. 4/5Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Hurricane HelmsI was really impressed with this match. It started out slow but picked up as the match progressed. Some very good counters and reversals towards the end and this match played out to be pretty decent. 3/5Big Show vs. DDPA very short match. DDP's run after the Invasion and Summerslam PPVs went really bad in my opinion. And this match was really weak. These two had better in their old WCW days. 2/5Elimination Tag Team Match for the WCW Tag Team TitlesHardy Boyz vs. Dudley Boyz (C) vs. APAThe PPV picks up again here. After the APA got eliminated, the Hardys and Dudleys put on a very good tag match. A table gets introduced but doesn't get used. Still a pretty good tag team match up. 3.5/5William Regal vs. TajiriA very good mat based and ground based match up. Regal looked to be in very good shape here. A very good match. 4/5WCW Heavyweight TitleChris Jericho (C) vs. Kurt AngleThis match came about after Angle defected just a week earlier. This match went very good with both men suplexing and slamming each other. To include a little nice brawl on the outside. Angle is very good as a heel and him and Jericho meshed in very well with each other. Just a solid wrestling match. 5/5Divas Tag Team Match with Trish Stratus as the Special RefereeLita and Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Keibler and Mighty MollyI found this match not good at all. Even with Trish as the special ref. This match just didn't do it for me. 1.5/5WWF TitleThe Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (C)Great match but doesn't quite equal to their classic from Wrestlemania earlier in the year. This match got taken almost everywhere. It would even get a little brutal. This was a good back and forth confrontation from these two great rivals. A very good match showing for the WWF Title. 5/5The Extra's arent so bad either. They hold two very good matches and also Kurt Angle defecting to the Alliance.WCW Heavyweight Title From RAW 11.5.01The Rock vs. Chris Jericho (C)Another good match showing from these two for the WCW Title. Not as good as from their No Mercy encounter but still very good nevertheless. This match seemed very personal. It has a good table spot and some blood too. And the after match assault to The Rock added more as well. 4.5/5Smackdown 11.8.01Undertaker vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kurt AngleAnother good match right here. Austin and Angle had just previously took out Kane the past RAW. And Taker was here for revenge and he gave Austin and Angle a run for their money. Good match and watch out for Austin stunning Angle. 3.5/5I recommend purchasing Rebellion '01. The two World Title matches are great and the extra's make up for the decent mid-card.

During the WWF era, they were going thru the whole Invasion angle. The WWF rooster was stacked with talent. However, WWF didnt really know how to manage this talent. This PPV is more like a epsiode of Raw rather then a PPV.Edge VS Christian in a Cage Match: I hate Edge but will give credit to him, this is probably the best ending to any cage match ive ever seen. A short match, alot of this matches were short.Hurricane VS Scotty 2 Hotty: I cannot believe Hurricane lost to the worm.DDP cuts a promo in his motivational phase. DDP was a excellent worker and was just one of many wrestlers who had talent but WWF didn't know how to handle them. Call me crazy but DDP would have been a excellent world champion in WWF but they still had Rock and Austin, so DDP could second hand titles.DDP VS Big Show: A good match but way to short. Big Show wins even though DDP could have easily won.The Hardys VS Dudleys VS APA: A pretty good match.William Regal VS Tajiri: A good but anther short match. I dont know why these matches were so short.Jeez, Kurt Angle use to cut a hell of a promo. I miss these phase of Angle's career. Of course, WWF had alot of wrestlers could cut funny promos in this era.Chris Jericho VS Kurt Angle: An alright match. Endings to England PPV's world title matches seem to be different then Ameircan endings.Rock cuts a promo. I miss this guy, he is what WWF needs. Damn Hollywood.Not his best promo though.Lita @ Torrie Wilson VS Mighty Molly @ Stacy Keibler: I dont know why England ppv's have these matches towards the end. Skip for an ale.Steve Austin VS The Rock: Liked the back story, these two never disappoint. Too bad the ending sucked.Extra matches are pretty good: Rock VS Jericho for the WCW title in a match that was better then the whole PPV. Rock won the title but I dont think the WCW title meant much at this time. Sould have given DDP a run with it. At least for a few weeks.Undertaker VS Anfle and Austin: A short match that ends with a roll up. I hate when matches end that way, sometimes its good but most, its bad.The also have a promo of Rock-Austin from WrestleMania X7 and Angle defecting to the alliance.Overall, its worth getting. Rock VS Jericho match is well worth it and thats an extra!

Wow our grandson like wwe wrestling. But he can't get enough wwf wrestling from that time & era. Ty again for carrying that type of wrestling.

The WWF had a prominent presence in the UK with their pay-per-view events until 2003 when they elected to do international tours instead. Rebellion 2001 was a pretty strong event considering the UK events were widely known to be low priority for the WWF as it features several strong matches and very few filler superstars or matches.The undercard does feature several low profile matches, but DDP/Big Show and Tajiri/Regal are short, modestly entertaining encounters that at least aren't offensively bad. The meat of the event boils down to three matches, all of which delivered and made this show worth watching.Edge and Christian continued their rivalry in a Steel Cage match that got the crowd pumped for he rest of the card. Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle tussled over the WCW Title in a strong, athletic match with Jericho getting a lot of deserved attention as one of the top two guys at the time. The Rock and Steve Austin delivered an even more impressive main event considering how many times they've clashed before; they kept things fresh and still fulfilled all the requirements for a WWF style classic.Rebellion isn't a great event, but it stacks up rather well to events from, say, 2005 or 2006 where there were a lot of filler matches on the undercard. It may not have been great in 2001, but it stands up well looking back in 2014.

Came in good time and was in great condition also. A classic DVD that is rare to find today and goes for a bit of money. Back when WWF was huge and had big stars. Glad I got this and Real happy with purchase thanks

Underrated ppv.
