WWE Armageddon 2002 (12/15/2002)- Sunrise, FL
FOUR WAY ELIMINATION MATCH FOR THE WWE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES: Chris Jericho & Christian(c) vs. the Dudley Boyz vs. Booker t & Goldust vs. Lance Storm & William Regal- 7.25/10
The first two eliminations, particularly Storm & Regal's looked slightly weak, but after that this was great. Awesome nearfalls here! A great opener.
A-TRAIN vs. EDGE- 4.75/10
Was going well until the DQ. The aftermath was decent.
CHRIS BENOIT vs. EDDIE GUERRERO- 7.75/10
Some great technical wrestling in the beginning and great nearfalls, but Eddie tapped a bit too quickly for my liking.
KANE vs. BATISTA (w/Ric Flair)- 5.75/10
Should have been longer, IMO, but it did a good job of putting Batista over. Flair was absolute gold here. He played his roll in the story perfectly
WWE WOMEN'S TITLE MATCH: Victoria(c) vs. Trish Stratus vs. Jacqueline- 5.5/10
For a five minute match, this was pretty awesome.
WWE TITLE MATCH: The Big Show(c) (w/Paul Heyman) vs. Kurt Angle- 6.75/10
Had some great nearfalls. A-Train's interference was meant to help make Kurt look strong (so it didn't look like Kurt needed Brock's help to beat Big Show), but I think that Kurt using the chair kind of killed that already.
RVD PROMO- pretty good
THREE STAGES OF HELL FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: Triple H(c) (w/Ric Flair) vs. Shawn Michaels- 9.25/10
WOW! Lots of hatred and lots of violence here. The only real misstep in this match was the flaming barbed-wire 2x4. It was a great spot right when it happened, but after it they just continued as if it had just been any other weapon shot, which really made it seem much less important than it should have been.
Overall, a very good show from WWE.
