"This was better than I predictied. A nice ppv and just for you to know rebellion is a international ppv that takes place here in Manchester, England. Enjoy and please rate. Thanks!

Steel Cage Match-IC Championship
Edge vs. Christian
I thought this was a nice choice for the opener. I love the classic cage being used. I really enjoyed this one. It had some nice spots in the match. Not as good as thier ladder match at no mercy. This match is still good and had a nice ending to it. Match Rating:4.25/5

Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Hurricane Helms
I was really suprised with this match. It was a good, highflying criuserweight bout. Nice counters and reversals and the suprise match of the night. Match Rating:3/5

The Big Show vs. Diamond Dallas Page
Thank goodness this match was short. This was a total dud and really the only damper on the night. DDP's promos were better than the match itself. Match Rating:2/5 (for the ddp promos)

Elimination 3-way Tag Match For The WCW Tag Team Titles
The Dudleyz vs. The Hardyz vs. APA
This match was pretty good. APA kind of brought this match down at first, but when they got eliminated the match picked up. A good tag match here. I wish the Hardyz would have won. Match Rating:4/5

Tijiri vs. William Regal
This match is better than there survivor series bout later in the month. Regal wrestled well in this one. Match Rating:3.5/5

WCW Championship
Chris Jericho vs. Kurt Angle
This match was really a forgotten classic. These two guys meshed well with each other. Nice counters and submission moves in this one. Also had a good brawl outside the ring. Match Rating:4.5/5

Diva Tag Match
Not really all that good. Just didn't get it done. Match Rating:2/5

WWF Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock
This match was defiently awesome. Sadly, not alot of people know about this match. This bout got taken everywhere and they had a nice fight on the ramp. A good confrontation between two huge rivals. Nice main event. Match Rating:5/5

Rebellion was suprisingly good. Pick it up for your '01 collection. Great main event to a solid card."

The Invasion Got Taken To The UK!

"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 Title
Edge (C) vs. Christian
This 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. 4/5

Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Hurricane Helms
I 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. 3/5

Big Show vs. DDP
A 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. 2/5

Elimination Tag Team Match for the WCW Tag Team Titles
Hardy Boyz vs. Dudley Boyz (C) vs. APA
The 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. 3.5/5

William Regal vs. Tajiri
A very good mat based and ground based match up. Regal looked to be in very good shape here. A very good match. 4/5

WCW Heavyweight Title
Chris Jericho (C) vs. Kurt Angle
This 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. 5/5

Divas Tag Team Match with Trish Stratus as the Special Referee
Lita and Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Keibler and Mighty Molly
I found this match not good at all. Even with Trish as the special ref. This match just didn't do it for me. 1.5/5

WWF Title
The 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. 5/5

The 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 11.5.01
The 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. 4.5/5

Smackdown 11.8.01
Undertaker vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kurt Angle
Another 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. 3.5/5

I recommend purchasing Rebellion '01. The two World Title matches are great and the extra's make up for the decent mid-card."
