The WWF in February 2001 was on another level. Just a month later, Vince McMahon would purchase WCW and that’s all she wrote for the modern-day wrestling wars.
This week, we deep dive into the last WWF pay-per-view before their purchase of WCW, what things were like in the company then, how things were firing on all cylinders, what wasn’t so great, and a lot more.
The card:
- WWF Hardcore Title: Raven (c) vs. Big Show
- WWF Intercontinental Title Fatal 4-Way: Chris Jericho (c) vs. X-Pac vs. Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit
- Stephanie McMahon vs. Trish Stratus
- Three Stages of Hell: Triple H vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
- Steven Richards vs. Jerry Lawler
- WWF Tag Team Titles Table Match: Dudleyz (c) vs. Edge/Christian vs. Undertaker/Kane
- WWF Title: Kurt Angle (c) vs. The Rock
BUT FIRST! Some post-Royal Rumble thoughts, especially on Bad Bunny and wrestling fans … and why wrestling fans who want wrestling to be cool again will never allow wrestling to be cool again. And what happened to snow shoveling etiquette in this world!?
