So gutted that the Invasion was so botched. Little did Vince know that buying the competition was one of the worst things that could have happened creatively. WWE never had the same sense of urgency and risk taking as they did during the Monday Night War era.
To be fair to WWF the rebellion UK only PPV was just 2 months after the tragic events of 9/11 , superstars & others where obviously anxious with the travelling
The highlights of 2001 was not just x-seven. The Royal rumble and No way out building up to it were both excellent shows and combined possibly the strongest consecutive trio of PPVs WWE has ever had.
The only thing I really remember from 2001 No Way Out was being absolutely burnt out by the end of the Three Stages of Hell match, inexplicably placed in the middle of the card. The 2001 Royal Rumble on the other hand, I absolutely loved. Well... that is to say, I loved the Jericho-Benoit Ladder Match, and probably the best booked Royal Rumble match since 1992. The Championship Match left something to be desired (as it was really the Trish and Stephanie show), and then there's the Chyna v Ivory match... yeah
Nah, Capitalism did that. Soon as they started looking exclusively at merch sales and network contracts, rather than actual storyline content, that is when everything went tits-up.
Another big problem with the WCW championship match was the announcers. They had Scott Hudson(who worked for WCW but isn’t even the fifth WCW announcer I would think of, much less the first) and Arn Anderson( who is absolutely a big WCW name but not known for his announcing). Where was Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay, or even Dusty Rhodes? But the main guy they needed for this was The Brain. Bobby Heenan would have made it entertaining even if the match sucked
Where were you guys at WM 19? That show didn't suck, but the crowd was dead and it hurt the show. Comparing it to 18 in Toronto is like night and day. Do you guys only get vocal when something sucks?
@@Legend_1nsanity I thought it was a great show, and I love Seattle. I was disappointed in the crowd though. Back to the topic, I thought the match between Booker and Bagwell was decent. I figured the crowd didn't care for it because WCW was never big in the Northwest.
Props to Adam for admitting he was part of the horny male audience who enjoyed watching the women "wrestle" back then, most other wrestling channels and even wrestling fans try to act all righteous like they weren't eating all that stuff up as well.
I actually agree with Buff that it would have gone better in somewhere like Atlanta or Charlotte but the biggest problem was …well Buff. He was never in the world title picture in WCW. It should have been DDP or maybe one of the talent that left WCW because they never got that opportunity like Eddie Guerrero or Chris Jericho.
Either DDP or Chris Jericho would've been awesome to see going against Booker T on that night of Raw Is War.. Eddie would've been good as well but was sent to rehab for an addiction with painkillers in May of 2001, two months before the Invasion storyline was officially given the green light. Also his contract expired later in the year, November to be exact, and didn't sign with the WWF again until April of 2002.
The way WWE buried DDP was so sad to watch. It was such a stupid, petty, and needless move. Undertaker was GARBAGE around this time as well. Poor Ivory, she got stuck having to drop the Women’s Belt in truly crap ways repeatedly. Why WWE thought that Bagwell vs. Booker T was a good watch to “showcase” WCW is beyond me? And they didn’t even wait a week till they would have been in WCW’s home turf either. 🤦♂️ Seeing Taker lose his cool during that tag match was at least funny.
I still can't believe Buff mom start calling WWE. All the wrestlers and they chose the momma boy not known for 5 star matches but being hated. They should have used a ex WCW star like Benoit instead vs Booker
@@michaelsinger4638 she was genuinely one of if not THE worst people in industry history and that’s saying a LOT about pro wrestling! She’s a sex trafficking sexual assailant who monopolized the entire women’s division of pro wrestling in The US for decades while preventing any development of or progress within the form. I absolutely despise that women and it blew my mind when I found out how truly dark, twisted and disgusting she was.
The biggest killer of Buff & Booker's match was the WWF/E loyalists had been conditioned to believe WCW guys were second rate workers, so they had no reason to want to watch the event
That torrie v stacy match is actually listed on the top 10 best of wwf 2001 lol. I remember having that DVD back in the day. Funny how at the time it was an absolute MONEY MAKER but 20 years later people complain about it.
I agree in hindsight, but I have to admit that I was so pumped for the invasion to start that I was feeling disappointed with the Backlash and Judgment Day PPVs. I couldn't imagine waiting another year.
@@tohomaster4664 if they would have just waited another year they had Flair, Steiner, Nash, Hall and Hogan. Another year after that and they had Goldberg.
Let us not forget that Nick Patrick totally carried Earl Hebner in that short bit. Didn't have much to work with. Patrick was, a long time ago, a very good Enhancement Talent.
ok, I find it a little difficult to believe that before the invasion angle that every match was good or better. There had to be something in the WWF at the time that was awful.
The funny thing is Taker actually brought Kronik in because they were friends of his. Given how pissed he was at them the entire unwatchable match, that friendship likely ended.
Unforgiven ‘01 was the first WWE/F ppv i ever watched after picking it up on DVD along with Survivor Series ‘04 and Wrestlemania 19. I remember feeling like Undertaker and Kane might not have been as good as I thought they were as a team because it took them so long to beat those jabroni’s. Had ZERO clue I was just watching the literal worst match of that entire year 😂
I mean, Kronik was probably the biggest tag team (size wise) the BOD ever faced in the ring.. They were almost identical height and weight as Taker and Kane.. They were super over near the end of WCW.. I think their problem was the ring.. WCW used an 18x18 ring, WWF used a 20x20.. That will throw a wrestler's timing off if they haven't gotten some matches in said ring beforehand.
I just watched the Bros of Destruction vs Kronik match and it didn't seem that bad to me, the crowd were into it and Undertaker/Kane/commentary did a good job of covering for how bad the other two guys were. Undertaker's grouchy face by the end is pretty funny and probably does the most damage to the quality of the match.
There's always that tag match between D-X and the Brothers of Destruction at Crown Jewel 2018 and the Undertaker/Goldberg match at Super Showdown 2019.
After how she was pushed as competing with, beating and even dominating men at times, along with how women were still pushed in early 2000’s WWE, it just wasn’t believable that any of the women on the roster would put up a fight against her. It would be like Stacey Keibler came out of retirement and put up a legit fight against Rhea Ripley or something. So they almost booked themselves into a corner with her in that they’d either have to keep pushing her up the card or do nothing with her.
2001 despite having two of the greatest ppv’s ever was a step down from 2000. Bad booking and storylines killed of what could have been another classic year for WWE. The Invasion storyline was botched. There were so many great matches and they killed 01. It was the beginning of WWE’s downfall.
Torrie Wilson Vs Stacy Keibler Lingerie Match from WWF No Mercy 2001 was amazing they had such great chemistry together that was awesome it's one of the best women's matches of that year in my Honest opinion glad Stacy Keibler and Torrie wilson are in the WWE Hall Of Fame they deserve it.
I gotta disagree about 3/agree with The Stuff... the match was fine. As someone who lives about 30 minutes north of Tacoma, Washington, I can attest that the average local wrestling fan had very little admiration for Dubya see Dubya.
I didn't know who to root for in the Hebner vs Patrick match. Patrick was the evil nWo referee and Earl was the man who had his face surgically changed to look like Dave's in order to screw HH out of the title. Heel vs heel, nobody wins.
WWE should be sued by "Diamond" Dallas Page for career malpractice. That 2001 booking was so godawful. As for re-booting WCW, why wouldn't they make "Smackdown" the WCW show? "Raw" is the companies flagship program.
I always hated that the kats career ended the way it did with her forced to join right to censor only for it to go nowhere after she got fired, I imagine that they would’ve done a plot line of Jerry trying to set Kat free from the right to censor
You know it's actually nice for one of these wrestling channels to admit that they were ogling the divas back in the day as well. Not saying it was right but we were boys going through puberty.
2001 was the worst year in wrestling history. There are no other contenders that come close. The sale of WCW was a complete disaster for the industry and was a massive mistake on AOL TimeWarner's behalf.
Dude, I watched that Booker T-Bagwell match. There’s really nothing wrong with it. Maybe a little mild for a title bout, but the audience was so negative and I don’t know why.
Wanna know why Chyna was put in the women's division? Because she was objectively bad in men's matches. Her skills were almost non existent. Her opponents had to carry her and they could only do so much.
If only someone backstage was close to her more would have told her that this is a good thing and that she would become a tool and women's wrestling revolution. But unfortunately her ego did not want to hear that.
Biker Taker was great honestly he showed he was better than ppl thought he was in the Ring and cut better promos but he wasn't in great shape the first half his Big Evil run from 02 to 04 is more fondly remembered
@@Kalel2.0 can’t agree. His matches were awful if you actually go back and watch them. No nostalgia glasses, he buried talent that didn’t deserve it, especially the WCW talent.
@@Bman32x As the American Badass yeah but as Big Evil I disagree he got in better shape,got better in the Ring by having bangers with RVD,Naitch,Brock,Benoit etc plus his whole unstable douchebag demand for respect sctchick was cool and his segments made u feel uncomfortable by giving of a sense of realism plus the Deadman character towards the end of 99 was growing kinda stale
God Invasion Undertaker was awful, he was one of the worst part of the storyline; everyone he faced was made to look like a joke unless it was a WWF defector like Austin or Angle; he just refused to make any “outsiders” look good. I love me some Undertaker, but 2001 Taker was horrid.
I will agree that the match with the Bros Of Destruction & Kronik was awful. And I was there to watch it in Pittsburgh. Definitely the worst match I’ve ever seen in person. Second would be Booker T & Heidenreich at No Way Out 2005.
