Excellent product. It was purchased to add to my son's wrestling collection of dvds and products. It is always fun to watch the ones from years back to see how they have changed over the years.

KING OF THE RING SEMIFINALS
ROB VAN DAM VS. CHRIS JERICHO
A VERY GOOD OPENER, AND IN MY MIND THE MATCH OF THE NIGHT. THESE TWO WORK VERY WELL TOGETHER, AND CAN ALWAYS MAKE A GOOD BOUT. LIKE THEIR PREVIOUS MATCHES, IT REALY SHINED ON THE CARD. EASIER TO RATE THAN THE USUAL MATCH, BECAUSE IT EASILY GETS A GOOD RATING.
WINNER: ROB VAN DAM
RATING: 7
KING OF THE RING SEMIFINALS
TEST VS. BROCK LESNAR
THIS WAS A DECENT BIG MAN MATCH, AND ONCE AGAIN THESE TWO BIG GUYS WORK WELL TOGETHER. I WAS ACTUALLY SUPRISED WITH THIS ONE, AS I FOGOT HOW WELL TEST WORKED TO PUT ON GOOD MATCHES IN THE PAST. COOL HOW BROCK ALWAYS TRYS TO AVOID THE BIG BOOT, BUT CAN STILL USE HIS POWER MOVES. BOTH MEN DO WELL HERE, AND OVERALL MAKES A DECENT MATCH.
WINNER: BROCK LESNAR
RATING: 6
CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
THE HURRICANE VS. JAMIE NOBLE
I WAS SUPRISED, OR MAYBE DISSAPOINTED WITH THIS MATCH. THEY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE A GREAT CRUISERWEIGHT CONTEST, BUT IT WAS NOT HIGHFLYING LIKE WE ALL EXPECTED. WHAT WE GOT WAS MORE OF A SLOWER PACED TECHNICAL MATCH, BUT NOTHING LIKE ANGLE VS. BENOIT. IT WAS NOT A BAD MATCH AT ALL, BUT JUST MORE DISSAPOINTING.
WINNER & STILL CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION: JAMIE NOBLE
RATING: 6
WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
MOLLY HOLLY VS. TRISH STRATUS
JUST AN AVERAGE WOMENS MATCH IN MY MIND. PROBABLY COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. MOLLY HOLLY'S IN RING SKILLS ARE PRETTY GOOD, BUT I DONT THINK SHE IS THE BEST 'DIVA', AS TRISH STRATUS WOULD BE. NOTHING TERRIBLE THAT I WOULD FAIL BUT NOTHING SPECIAL.
WINNER & NEW WOMEN'S CHAMPION: MOLLY HOLLY
RATING: 5
EDDIE GUERRERO VS. RIC FLAIR
I WAS DISSAPOINTED TO SEE NO STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN HERE, BUT RIC FLAIR TOOK HIS PLACE AND STARTED HIS LAST BIG PUSH AS IT IS CALLED, BUT THATS NOT TRUE. STILL A SOLID AND WELL DONE OLD SCHOOL VS. NEW SCHOOL MATCH. NOT GREAT BUT IT IS STILL A PRETTY GOOD MATCHUP. NOTHING SPECIAL THAT WOULD MAKE YOU JUMP OUT OF YOUR SEAT BUT IT WAS PRETTY GOOD.
WINNER: RIC FLAIR
RATING: 6
KURT ANGLE VS. HULK HOGAN
THIS WAS ANOTHER SOLID/GOOD MATCHUP. NOT AS GOOD AS THE OPENER, BUT IT WAS ENTERTAINING. SINCE THIS WAS THE PAY PER VIEW AFTER JUDGMENT DAY, WHERE ANGLE LOST TO EDGE TO GET HIS HEAD SHAVED, HE IS WEARING HIS WIG AND HEAD GEAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HOGAN EVER TAPS OUT IN A MATCH, SO THIS MATCH IS SPECIAL. STILL NOTHING GREAT, BUT IT WAS A PRETTY DECENT MATCH.
WINNER: KURT ANGLE
RATING: 6
KING OF THE RING FINALS
ROB VAN DAM VS. BROCK LESNAR
ANOTHER MATCH ON THE CARD THAT WAS QUITE A DISSAPOINTMENT. ONE, IT WAS JUST A 5 MINUTE SQUASH. VAN DAM DID GET A FEW MOVES IN, BUT THE REST WAS JUST LESNAR DOMINATING WITH HIS POWER MOVES. THOUGH THE ENDING IS IMPRESSIVE, THE MATCH WAS NOTHING SPECIAL.
WINNER: BROCK LESNAR
RATING: 5
WWE UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP
UNDERTAKER VS. TRIPLE H
IF YOU THOUGHT THE LAST MATCH WAS A DISSAPOINTMENT, YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS ONE. THE REMATCH AT WRESTLEMANIA DIDNT LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR TO ITS EXPECTATIONS. PRETTY MUCH SIMILAR TO THE BATISTA VS. JBL MATCH AT G.A.B. 2005. JUST A BORING BRAWL, AND I TRUELY MEAN BORING. THIS ONE WAS JUST HARD TO SIT THROUGH. ONLY WATCH THIS MATCH FOR THE ROCK.
WINNER & STILL WWE UNDISPUTED CHAMPION: THE UNDERTAKER
RATING: 4
PAY PER VIEW RATING (46/80) 57.5
KING OF THE RING 2002 GETS A (C) RATING, MEANING IT WAS JUST AN AVERAGE PAY PER VIEW. THAT IS TRUE, THE CARD ITSELF LOOKS IMPRESSIVE, BUT SOME OF THE MATCHES JUST DIDNT LIVE UP TO THEIR EXPECTATIONS. A FEW DISSAPOINTMENTS BUT ONLY ONE FAILING MATCH. STILL, I ONLY RECCOMEND TO COLLECTERS LIKE MYSELF.

This is the last of the King Of The Ring series and it was aired live from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross provide the play-by-play and color. Here are my ratings of the matches based out of 5 *****:
King Of The Ring Semi-Finals:
Match #1: Rob Van Dam (Intercontinental Champion) vs. Chris Jericho - RVD gets a huge "pop" from the crowd as chants of "Rob Van Dam" and "ECW" fill the arena. Chris Jericho plays the role of heel to perfection. RVD lands multiple kicks to Y2J's head, a somersault plancha to the outside of the ring, rolling thunder splash and a split-legged top-of-the-rope moonsault onto Jericho. But, Y2J is able to execute a double-armed top-of-the-rope suplex and a lion-sault onto "Mr. Pay-Per-View". This wasn't enough for Y2J as RVD hits a top-rope 5-star frog-splash and pins Jericho. Check the ending. Rating - ***1/2 (15 minutes)
Match #2: Test vs Brock Lesner (w/ Paul Heyman) - This was a pretty decent big man match as both guys really belt each other pretty hard. The beginning goes back and forth with both guys pounding on the other. Brock lands a spine-buster, back-breaker and power slam on Test. Test is able to connect with a sidewalk slam, a full-nelson slam and a pumphandle slam. But with some interference from Paul E., Brock connects with a F5 and pins Test. This was a pretty decent match and I wish Test would get more of a push as he is a very good wrestler. Overall rating - ***1/2 (8min 30sec)
Cruiserweight Championship: The Hurricane(C) vs Jamie Noble (w/ Nidia) - This was another decent match as both guys are decent wrestlers. Hurricane Helmsly has a grudge to settle with Noble, as he stole his girl Nidia from him. Hurricane is able to land a couple of big-time moves such as: suplex from inside to outside the ring, a top-rope cross-body block to the outside, a top-rope swinging neck breaker and a power-bomb choke slam. But Noble is very resilient and tough as nails. Is The Hurricane able to get his revenge and keep his belt? A pretty good match. Rating- ***1/2 (12min)
Ric Flair vs Eddie Guerrero - The "Nature Boy" is gunning for one more big push, but "Latino Heat" is his first obstacle. This was the "stiffest" match on the card as both men really chop each other with ferocity. Ouch! Eddie does some great mocking of Flair, and as well as tremendous ring psychology on Flair. Eddie and Flair both execute their "finishers" on each other. There was outside interfence from Chris Benoit and also from Bubba Ray Dudley. Who benefited the most from the interference? Another decent match. Rating - ***1/2 (18min)
Hulk Hogan vs Kurt Angle - Hulk gets a huge "pop" and Angle gets a heels welcome. The crowd was super pumped for this match and was into this from the start. Angle is able to "Angle slam" the Hulkster, but the crowd helps Hogan to "Hulk up"! Hogan connects with the big boot to Angle's head, and rips off Angle's head gear exposing Angle's bald head. Angle gets pissed and introduces a chair to the ring. Is the Hulkster able to take Angle out of his game plan and score the pin? This was the most exciting match on the card. Rating - **** (12min)
King Of The Ring Final: Rob Van Dam(Intercontinental Champion) vs Brock Lesnar (w/ Paul Heyman) - Rob Van Dam has the crowd behind him but Brock has his strength. Brock lands a standing power-slam with back-to-back backbreakers on RVD. RVD connects with his rolling thunder splash as well as his 5-star top-rope frog-splash onto Lesnar. Is it enough for "Mr Pay-Per-View"? Who is the new and last King Of The Ring? Rating - *** (5min)
WWE Undisputed Championship - The Undertaker(C) vs Triple H - This was also a decent match as both guys landed big shots on the other. The match flowed from in the ring to outside of the ring as the Undertaker was very methodical and precise with his moves. Paul E. is initially at ringside providing color for the match, but the Rock cames down and chases Paul E. away. As the match flowed to the outside of the ring, The Undertaker suddenly attacks The Rock. How does this effect the outcome of the match? Who is the Undisputed Cahmpion? Rating - ***1/2 (23min)
This disc has added bonus features of King Of The Ring Preliminary and Quarterfinal match highlights as well as interviews with Kurt Angle, Test and Jamie Noble. The best part of this disc was the backstage shoot with Goldust, Booker T and The Rock. Goldust does a great mimick of The Rock, and The Rock is hilarious with his repartee. That being said, I guess you can figure out that this wasn't the best pay-per-view WWE has done. I would rent it first or tape it if possible.
