To me, this movie is perfection.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This PPV was a mild bore to me, 3 titles were on the line, all matches were single matches & most of the matches were boring.FIRST MATCH- ROB VAN DAM VS. CHRIS JERICHO IN THE SEMIFINALS OF THE KING OF THE RING This was a nice & long match to start the show with. Both these wrestlers have great chemistry when it comes to facing each other in the ring. RVD nails the Five Star Frog Splash on Jericho for the win & to advance in the finals of the King Of The Ring. 5/10SECOND MATCH- BROCK LESNAR W/ PAUL HEYMAN VS. TEST IN THE SEMIFINALS OF THE KING OF THE RING It was an okay match, but then it started to turn out more of a brawl rather than a wrestling match. Brock Lesnar hits the F-5 to advance in the finals of the King Of The Ring & will face RVD. 4/10THIRD MATCH- JAMIE NOBLE W/ NIDIA VS. HURRICANE FOR THE WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Come on, Cruiserweights do way better than this, it took Nidia to try & interfere to make the match more paced. Jamie Noble hits his special called Tiger Driver for the win & to become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion. 4/10FOURTH MATCH- TRISH STRATUS VS. MOLLY HOLLY FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP Bad & boring match. These women did not put up a fight. Molly Holly reversed a roll-up into her own for the win & to become the new WWE Women's Champion. 3/10FIFTH MATCH- RIC FLAIR VS. EDDIE GUERRERO Another boring match, these two men had no chemistry in the ring, & also they did not even try to put up a fight. Chris Benoit & Bubba Ray Dudley had to interfere to make the match a bit more interesting. Chris Benoit interferes & puts Ric Flair in a Crossface on the outside, while the referee is distracted, Bubba Ray Dudley comes in the ring & nails Eddie with a Bubba Bomb, Ric Flair covers him for the 3 count & the win. 4/10SIXTH MATCH- KURT ANGLE VS. Hollywood HULK HOGAN These two can do way better, this match again, turned more of a sort of submission match, rather than a wrestling match. Angle makes Hollywood Hulk Hogan tap out for the win. 4/10SEVENTH MATCH- ROB VAN DAM VS. BROCK LESNAR W/ PAUL HEYMAN IN THE FINALS OF THE KING OF THE RING TOURNAMENT WINNER FACES WWE CHAMPION AT SUMMERSLAM Great match, nothing bad & nothing special, it was an okay plain match. But I do wish they had more time to fight in the ring. Paul Heyman's interferences are seriously funny. Brock Lesnar overcomes the agility of RVD & nails him with the F-5 for the win as he is the 2002 King Of The Ring & will face the WWE Champion at Summerslam. 5/10EIGHT MATCH- TRIPLE H VS. UNDERTAKER FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP This was a really good main event, I thought that it was going to be a bore like the other matches, but this was an excellent match. Both HHH & Taker gave it all they got, even a longer match than they had at Wrestlemania X7. Rock interferes during the match, & 2 referees get knocked out. Undertaker nails a low blow then a roll-up on HHH for the win & to retain his WWE Championship. 6/10So 3 out of 8 mathes are good. Seriously this could have been a lot better, but the mainevent sort of saved this PPV. This whole event was pretty much a mild bore.Overall I'll give it 5/10 & a C

It's a terrible main event with Undertaker/HHH stuffing their match with arm holds that women in a mud wrestling school could do. Mediocre matches all around with Angle/Hogan, Test/Lesnar, Guerrero/Flair, and RVD/Lesnar. Molly/Trish is overrated and below average in terms of quality and Hurricane/Noble has no high spots. Guerrero/Flair was put together at the last minute with Flair taking Stone Cold Steve Austin's place due to his problems with Vince McMahon behind the scenes. But it has nothing of great value from either men. I'm sorry but this is an awful PPV led by the main event hogging Undertaker/HHH match. Even The Rock couldn't do that much to make the match interesting in commentary. In case you've heard about the Booker/Goldust/Rock scene, don't buy this for it. Buy The Rock's "Just Bring It" collector's DVD for it and other great moments in The Rock's career. But to summarize, this is an iceberg of a PPV that showed that the old guys were keeping the young guys down and a PPV split should have happened a long time ago. I apologize to Undertaker and HHH fans, these two guys can still do something good for the business just never have them work together again.

SPOILERSKing of the Ring 2002 was one of the better PPV events of 2002 which has turned out to be a decent enough year for the WWE.In the opener, Rob Van Dam beat Chris Jericho in a very good match to advance to the final of the King of the Ring tournament. A great match but these past few years the tournament itself has meant very little. When it started as a PPV event in 1993, the tournament was the main event and everything else was undercard. These past few years, the tournament has been the undercard and other matches have been main events.The still green Brock Lesnar beat Test in another decent match to advance to the finals.Jamie Noble beat the Hurricane to win the Cruiserweight Title. A great match and Nidia is just beautiful.Ric Flair beat Eddie Guerrero in an exciting match. They had a match on WCW Nitro around 1996 but this bout knocked spots off that bout and was perhaps the match of the card.Molly Holly beat Trish Stratus to win the Women's Championship. Nothing special but who needs a good match when you have two beautiful younger women in front of your eyes.Kurt Angle had a match with Hulk Hogan. It was quite mediocre although it was a convincing match in the sense that Hogan and Angle did really wrestle as though they were enemies. It was also a shock to see Hogan submit. The last time he submitted before this match took place was when he was with the NWO in WCW. He submitted to Lex Luger three times in 1997 but I never thought I'd see a babyface Hogan submit. Hogan has been selfless this year.Brock Lesnar then beat Rob Van Dam to win the King of the Ring tournament. It was an okay match.The final pitted 'undisputed' champion Undertaker against Triple H. This match was no good and not a good way to end King of the Ring. I found nothing redeeming in this match.All in all, I think King of the Ring was the second best WWE PPV of 2002 after the Survivor Series.

King of the Ring disappointed again right from the start. Let's be honest it had a lot to live up to after last year's Angle vs Shane McMahon match. The first match was RVD vs Y2J which had a lot of missed spots and some bad selling. RVD won as Y2J jobbed again much to my disgust...** The second match was Brock Lesnar vs Test which saw the 'Next Big Thing' continue his meteoric rise to the top and beat the dreadful Test. Not a great match...** Third was the match of the night - Hurricane vs Jamie Noble for the Cruiserweight title. Two solid performances and an awesome top-rope neck breaker from Hurricane ensured this was a great match...**** Next was Eddie Guerrero vs Ric Flair which was a waste of Eddie's talents and was quite crap. Overall...* Next was Trish vs Molly Holly...DUD Next was the KotR final between RVD and Lesnar which was a mismatch of styles but a good match with Lesnar crowned King and rightly so...*** Main event: HHH vs Undertaker. This could have been awesome (see WM16) but was not great at all. The end saw a lot of stalling as if something (nWo anyone?) was supposed to happen but didn't and to end the main event with a schoolboy roll-up was cheap. Poor stuff...** So, get it together WWE cos people who aren't big fans are not gonna hang around to watch much longer.....
