WWE - Global Warning Tour Melbourne Reviews:
IT WASN'T A PPV...But A Pretty Enjoyable Card 
2007-06-17 - This tour marked the first time WWE visited the country of Austraila in close to 20 years and this was one of the shows on that tour that mixed the RAW & SmackDown athletes together for a good card. Keep in mind that this WAS NOT a PPV or a card ment for television, it was a normal house show with the catch that it was in Austraila who didn't have a house show in almost 20 years unlike other counties like the U.S. & Canada. Also on here inbetween the matches were footage of the WWE superstars thoughout Australia such as Torrie Wilson shopping, Kurt Angle visiting the zoo, and Jamie Noble & Nidia surfing.
Kiss My Ass Match: Rikishi vs. Rico - Just an average opener here that got the crowd warmed up & involved a little humorous site with Rico's reaction to the stinkface.
Crusierweight Champion Jamie Noble vs. The Hurricane - Good crusierweight action that had some high flyin', mat wrestling, and given enough time to develop into a good match up. One of the better crusierweight matches during this year.
Tag Team Champions Un-Americans vs. Billy Kidman & Rey Mysterio - Kidman & Mysterio knew each other so well here that they actually meshed well here into a good team & held their own against Storm & Christian here in a match that was highly better than expected knowing that Kidman & Mysterio were not a regular tag team.
Edge vs. Chris Jericho - Two of the best "young talent" in WWE at this time clashed in what was a great match with Jericho doing a funny promo before the match as well. This was one of the best matches of the night as they give you their all & told a nice story here as well.
Bra & Panties Match: Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Keibler - The T&A (and "L" for legs whenever it includes Ms. Keibler) segment of the night. There isn't really much more to stay besides the fact that this match was actually decent & watchable.
WWE Undisputed Champion The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H - This was Triple H's first match back since taking some time off for an injury after King Of The Ring earlier in the year. What a match here & was the match of the night here. They meshed well together concidering the facts that I believe this was the only time Brock & Triple H wrestled against each other and the only other time besides SummerSlam that I believe Rock & Brock fought each other. There was never a boring moment here & Brock didn't look out of place once between these two veterans. The only disappointment is that you knew who was going to win the match (this happened right before SummerSlam) but it still doesn't take away from a good triple threat match.
Overall, this was a good event in my eyes. It wasn't suppost to be a PPV or television, it was a basically a house show they put on DVD so if your looking for storylines & high profile fueds then this won't appeal to you but if your looking for just good wrestling action then I recommend.
awesome show!

Global Warning Tour Melbourne Review 
2003-11-08 - This wasn't a bad pay per view but could have been better
Here are the matches:
Match 1)Kis My A** match Rikishi vs. Rico
Match 2)Cruiserweight Title (c)Jamie Nobel vs. Hurricane
Match 3)Tag Team Title (c's)Lance Storm&Christian vs. Rey Mysterio&Billy Kidman
Match 4)Chris Jericho vs. Edge
Match 5)Bra and Panties match Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Kiebler
Match 6)Triple Threat match for the WWE Title (c)The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H
Not many matches but here are the results with a small review:
Match 1)Kiss my A** match: Rikishi def. Rico
Very Short!!! The only thing that was exciting was the samoan drop by Rikishi when Rico missed the moonsault. Because of the celebration I'll give it **
Match 2)Cruiserweight Champion Jamie Nobel def. Hurricane
A good Cruiserweight match! A cheap ending but the rest of the match was great! Not too long but definatly not too short! ****
Match 3)Tag Team Champions Christian & Lance Storm def. Rey Mysterio & Billy Kidman
Another great match! It was long and highflying! Exciting, but still another cheap ending. It had the perfect timing and the perfect match! **** 1/2
Match 4)Edge def. Chris Jericho
The 2nd best match on the card! Very Long from Jerichgo taking 5 minutes to get to tye ring! Another good role up ending and Jericho throws a sissy fit after the match! CRYBABY! *****
Match 5)Bra and panties match Torrie Wilson derf. Stacy Kiebler
Well..... at least thy did a lue thez press. The bra and panties was just a gimmick to entertain. *
Match 6)Triple Threat match for the WWE Title:WWE Champion The Rock def. Brock Lesnar and Triple H
GREAT GREAT GREAT MATCH!!! These three men sure know how to put on a fight! Still, no new champions. Great ending, great moves, and great timing! That's all I need to say *****
It was an average ppv but I think it is pretty cool that this is the first time in 18 years that the wwe has came to Melbourne.
GOOD PAY PER VIEW!
WWE GLOBAL WARNING 
2003-10-17 - This dvd is for anyone who is a wrestling fan!!!
10 Augast 2003 you better run cause the wwe invades Melbourne
Australia. A crowd of 54 742 superstars like The Rock, Tripple hhh,Brock Lesner,Rey Misterio,Rikishy,and much more and many dvd
extra it is the best.
oof 
2003-04-05 - Rikishi VS Rico - This was a nothing match. Rico has quite a bit of talent, but it has been quite some time since I've seen Rikishi in a good match. Since the stipulation for this match was that the loser had to kiss the rear end of the winner, you can guess how this one ended.
Cruiserweight Championship : Jamie Noble (C) VS The Hurricane - This match wasn't too bad. Hurricane hit a swinging neckbreaker off the top rope (impressive), and while it wasn't as high flying as I might expect from the cruiserweights, it wasn't a bad match. It also wasn't any different than what we see on Smackdown every Thursday. This was early in the rivalry between these two.
Tag Team Championship: The UnAmericans (Lance Storm and Christian) (C) VS Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio - This match gave the feel of being thrown together at the last minute. The UnAmericans had already jumped to RAW and we had never seen Kidman and Mysterio team up. Considering the talent of the champions and how exciting Mysterio is.....this match was boring.
Chris Jericho VS Edge - The best match on the card. I'm a big fan of Jericho as it is, and he plays to the opponent and the crowd so well. Good match.
Bra and Panties: Stacy Keibler VS Torrie Wilson - Is this wrestling or a watered down Girls Gone Wild? I don't know, but if the WWE expects us to take the women's division seriously, they have to stop making the women a joke. As it stands, I'm a wrestling fan and would rather see actual wrestling matches when I watch the programming. The Big Valbowski introduces the women (the most entertaining part) and Nidia gets involved. Nobody cares.
Undisputed Championship: Rock (C) VS Triple H VS Brock Lesnar - Remember that this is before Summerslam, so Brock had not yet won the title nor had he faced Rock (as far as I can remember). This match was somewhat of a letdown. The Rock worked really hard, but the match was somewhat uninspired. I wonder if this is because we know who will win (as if they are going to change the main event two weeks before Summerslam) or just because the Triple Threat match was just a mess.
Bonus Matches from 1986 (the last time the WWE came to Australia
The Rougeaus Vs The Moondogs - The commentary for this match said that it was the WWF debut of the Rougeaus (later known as the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers). While I was always entertained by the Rougeaus when I watched in the 80's, this match didn't have anything special. Maybe it was the Moondogs that killed the match.
Don Muraco & Mr Fuji Vs S.D Jones & King Tonga - I honestly skipped this one. I've only seen Muraco wrestle Dino Bravo in 1988, but I didn't care enough to watch it. It was sad to see Mr. Fuji in the ring. He was fairly old at the time and should have realized that his time in the ring was done.
Andre the Giant VS Big John Studd - Always nice to see Andre in the ring, but this was a lumbering match. Slow, boring, and the only reason you should watch it is just to see Andre wrestle.
Honestly, this DVD is not worth your money. Had this been a Smackdown show, it might not have been too bad. However, this was a PPV. This wasn't a good PPV at all. The matches weren't very interesting and there was nothing else to help move it along. No promos, nothing. If you have to own every WWE DVD, then buy it. If you only want the good ones, leave this one alone.
