I feel like this is the match where you could properly see Trish's potential to be a fantastic wrestler. There were flashes of it before in matches and that Trish was willing to take big bumps like the Dudley's table moment. But this match with Stephanie is so entertaining and they go all out on each other. I'm glad that Trish went into proper training with Finlay later in the year and really discovered herself. It was fantastic seeing her growth at the start of her career to truly becoming a legend who earned her excuse my pun, stratus.
The crowd were super into this match too. Most of the current female wrestlers can only dream of getting a reaction like that. Trish and Stephanie were incredibly over back them.
@@Rocket1377 Yeah! I mean if this was 10 years later it could've been viewed as that bathroom break match which how the WWE were handling the women around 2011. The story they had going with Stephainie and Trish was just that enticing that even if you didn't like it, you were still invested. I am glad now that the women are being taken seriously now though and they are producing absolute stellar matches. It was around 2016 with Charlotte, Becky and Sasha making headlines that brought me back into wrestling after about 8 years of falling out of it.
Even before she was a “good worker”, she was bumping around like an angry toddler at nap time and could sell. The women of today could definitely learn a thing or two from that. you don’t have to be Charlotte Flair athlete/worker if you can take good bumps and sell convincingly.
@@Rocket1377 Honestly, it didn't take much for the Divas to get over back then. Especially if the match involved spankings & wetness. I remember the Lingerie match between Stacy & Torrie at No Mercy 2001 and it even got voted by the viewers as the 6th best match of the year. But then there's also the classic Bayley vs Sasha at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn (2015) where the crowd was very hyped.

Seems like he was already doing the random interference gimmick years before he did it in 2013 with Daniel Bryan/Randy Orton match lol. At least this one had a finish though lol.

12:05 - random trivia, the big "3" sign in the audience in this shot of Austin giving Stephanie the Stunner is because that RAW was taped on February 19, 2001 - the day after NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt's death at the 2001 Daytona 500.
Zane has No Mercy when it comes to reviews. Though he knows if he misses one he’ll go Unfirgiven by his fanbase. We would take our Vengeance out on him. We’d show up at his house Fully Loaded. Our Backlash would be his Judgment Day. You might even say it would be the Armageddon of his channel.
Honestly, despite the fact that Trish was still really green, and Steph wasn't a trained wrestler, I really enjoyed that match, it was wild and entertaining, and as Brian said, they definitely didn't shit the bed.
@@enigmaskull3495 the three stages of Hell match needs to come back as a permanent match type and not just a part of a WWE Showcase mode (WWE 2K15 and 2K16 had three stages of hell matches in its Showcase mode and they happen to feature HHH)
I'm still surprised that Austin didn't catch the can, squeeze it till it pops and catch the contents in his mouth like Popeye to power him up to win the match.

Stevie Richards is such an underrated heel. Even in TNA. Imagine if he eliminated the RTC members one by one before going on a singles run for a mid-card title.
Woah Kane booking was a bit strange in 2001 From being the runner up at the royal rumble to competing for the tag team titles in this PPV to be in the triple treath match at mania for the hardcore title
Followed by the Tag Titles again for Backlash, IC Title at Judgement Day, MEing InVasion, Tag Titles at Summerslam/Unforgiven, random match with Test at No Mercy, MEing Survivor Series, Tag Titles with Big Show at Vengeance. Quite the versatile year!
No, this was not part of his reign of terror (2003 - ). Trips was so hot in late 2000 he briefly became a face (against Benoit), until revealing himself of to be Stone Colds car attack nenemis. As for winning everything, not the case: he won this but lost a month later to Taker at X-7. You're off.
I guess the idea is that these losses would feed into Austin's heel turn later, but it is AMAZING that the two went through this entire program without Austin scoring a single real win over Triple H. Simply amazing.
I'd say so, remember in the build up to Mania after this, Austin told Rock he needed to beat him and would do anything to do so (which he did course in siding with McMahon), so this match especially woulda been definite foreshadowing for that.
Started in a backstage segment on Smackdown in 2002 where Edge ribbed Kurt with some 8x10s that had some jokes written on the back like "I'm a loser!", "And a dork.", And "P.S I have no testicles.", Before topping off with a segment in the ring where Kurt reveals his new shirt which read "Angle Sucks", prompting Edge to say "Kurt, that is you." Good stuff.
Damn Benoit was so good, even a clothesline was executed perfect. Such a tragedy, it's so hard to not think how his legacy ended. RIP to his wife and kid

In regards to the "You Suck" chants, I went to the Raw two weeks after No Way Out (aka Heyman's return). It was March 5th, 2001 at the arena fka the MCI Center and the main event was Austin/Rock Vs. Triple H/Angle. Earlier in the night, Triple H opened Raw after taking a two week vacation with a promo. Also, Scotty 2 Hotty had his ankle 'broken' by Kurt Angle, so Regal made the match. Before either heels came out, I think it was Vince who announced that Debra would be managing The Rock all the way up to WM X7. But, rumor has it that Vince didn't want any managers ringside during the main event matches since he thought this would take away from the spectacle of the main events, which is why Stephanie wasn't out in Triple He's corner and why Debra wasn't out there for The Rock. FINALLY, when I went to that Raw March 5th, 2001, there were some "You Suck" chants directed at Kurt Angle during his entrance and theme. Though, I'm not sure if it was loud enough to be picked up on TV. It was certainly loud enough for us in attendance that night. I was 15 yrs old at the time and this is all based off of memory. It was a very memorable Raw to say the least which also includes Trish barking like a dog and the Christian costing the Dudley Boyz the Tag titles to the Hardys and saying "Of course he'll accept the charges, you hosebeast!" to the the operator when 1-800-AT&T used to be a thing (I used to use it whenever I needed a ride back from bowling, but I'd cheat. When my mom would pick up and the operator would ask for my name, it would say to my Mom "Would you like to accept charges from... PICK ME UP" and she'd just hang up. Ahhh, simpler, good old times.
Man, I remember watching that Hebner F-up live when it happened and wasn't even surprised. It had to happen eventually, because for YEARS he would to this stupid body flop thing whenever a wrestler would kick out at 2. The problem was he would do the flop about a few beats BEFORE the wrestler would kick out, so he would ruin the shock of the kick out EVERY TIME. You can see it clearly at 23:26 when he "flops" BEFORE Angle kicks out, so it was just a matter of time before he flopped when the wrestler stayed down. lol

That can of beer that hit Austin was so on the nose you'd think it was intentional. I always thought Triple H getting the W was weird given Austin was going to Wrestlemania with the momentum but Trips going on to lose three ppv matches in a row would've been weird too I guess.
Tbf Trips wasn't pinned at Armageddon 2000 so that doesn't qualify as much of a loss. Austin cost him the Title at Royal Rumble and then Stone Cold himself had to have doubts going into WM17 to set up the Heel Turn and selling his soul to Vince McMahon hence why he was booked to lose against the Game at No Way Out.
One big memory from the Austin/HHH match was after the second or last fall the camera cuts to HHH and you can clearly see him blading again to keep the blood going.
Six WWE pay per views in a row.......Survivor Series and Armageddon 2000, Royal Rumble and No Way Out 2001, Wrestlemania X7 and Backlash 2001.....somebody loves WWE late 2000-early 2001
The 2 out of 3 falls is still my favourite match of all time. The build, the finish, the aftermath that lead to Austin doubting himself, he realises he too is mortal so sides with the devil himself at mania 17.
Triple Nose was a mid card nobody, Paul Roma type talent (Roma was actually a better athlete). Casual fans only know Triple Nose as “that weird big nosed awkward guy who follows Shawn Michaels around & is Chyna’s male valet”
Everything Rock and Angle did deserved at least 4 star, just a bit random from Big Show and Earl getting it wrong. Anyone who thinks Rock was just a promo guy, go back and watch his matches during this time.

Though, I'm not sure if it was loud enough to be picked up on TV. It was certainly loud enough for us in attendance that night. I was 15 yrs old at the time and this is all based off of memory. It was a very memorable Raw to say the least which also includes Trish barking like a dog and the Christian costing the Dudley Boyz the Tag titles to the Hardys and saying "Of course he'll accept the charges, you hosebeast!" to the the operator when 1-800-AT&T used to be a thing (I used to use it whenever I needed a ride back from bowling, but I'd cheat. When my mom would pick up and the operator would ask for my name, it would say to my Mom "Would you like to accept charges from... PICK ME UP" and she'd just hang up. Ahhh, simpler, good old times.
2001 No Way out is an underrated PPV and often forgotten about when looking back on WM X7 and that awful invasion storyline
Man, I remember watching that Hebner F-up live when it happened and wasn't even surprised. It had to happen eventually, because for YEARS he would to this stupid body flop thing whenever a wrestler would kick out at 2. The problem was he would do the flop about a few beats BEFORE the wrestler would kick out, so he would ruin the shock of the kick out EVERY TIME. You can see it clearly at 23:26 when he "flops" BEFORE Angle kicks out, so it was just a matter of time before he flopped when the wrestler stayed down. lol
Just what I needed this morning.

*Another rare f-bomb by Brian Zane*
I watch them all at least twice
I can't wait to see who's the dominate female of WWF is it Trish or Stephanie??
The keyboard edit of 'my time' in the background whilst Haitch promotes surfshark is f'n genius 😆 🤣
Finally. Omg I've been waiting forever. Loved this show as a kid. And still do
I just got home. After a long day of work. not being able to figure out one specific issue that several people were waiting on a resolution on.
This video made my night. Thanks for this one brian
13:10 There really should be a “Flying Nothing” compilation over the years
That can of beer that hit Austin was so on the nose you'd think it was intentional. I always thought Triple H getting the W was weird given Austin was going to Wrestlemania with the momentum but Trips going on to lose three ppv matches in a row would've been weird too I guess.
I wonder if the guy was trying to hit HHH.
Tbf Trips wasn't pinned at Armageddon 2000 so that doesn't qualify as much of a loss. Austin cost him the Title at Royal Rumble and then Stone Cold himself had to have doubts going into WM17 to set up the Heel Turn and selling his soul to Vince McMahon hence why he was booked to lose against the Game at No Way Out.
Connecticut blue blood is in full display here for HHH in this review
23:52 “Angle kicks his leg out from under his leg” Great stuff. Love this channel.
One big memory from the Austin/HHH match was after the second or last fall the camera cuts to HHH and you can clearly see him blading again to keep the blood going.
On the "You Suck" Angle chants, it was a famous Edge promo that got them over huge.
I can't imagine that Kaientai weren't told what the gimmick was supposed to be and that they, themselves, didn't find it funny.
Im sad that we never got Bret Hart vs Kurt angle could you imagine that match
Six WWE pay per views in a row.......Survivor Series and Armageddon 2000, Royal Rumble and No Way Out 2001, Wrestlemania X7 and Backlash 2001.....somebody loves WWE late 2000-early 2001
Too many people wanting to regirgitate
To be fair it was great during that period.
@@mathewbarrie9149 oh so true. I personally love this era of WWE. I was just saying
@@bryantrichardson7913 sure, it was great then and they've been milking it since then, too.
Something good to listen to on my way to work
The 2 out of 3 falls is still my favourite match of all time. The build, the finish, the aftermath that lead to Austin doubting himself, he realises he too is mortal so sides with the devil himself at mania 17.
I always wondered if a fan threw that beer can in the ring or if it was Austin's beer guy.
Three pairs of fake brothers 😂😂😂 Oh Brian had me dying at 19:04 😂😂
This had to have been filmed before Big Show to AEW was a thing, but it's all I could think about while watching this lol
I thought of the Bryan/Orton title match at Night of Champions 2013 personally.
I'm surprised Brian failed to mention that it was during the build-up to this show was when Kurt started using the ankle lock.
I don't think I've ever said this but some of the best commentary on this channel is Brian commentating on Taz's commentary.
Your impression of Test had me rolling lmfao great stuff
Love that match man! HHH and Austin actually looked like they hated each other one of the best feuds all time!
Sooner or later, Brian's going to get an actual cameo from Triple H.
Triple Nose was a mid card nobody, Paul Roma type talent (Roma was actually a better athlete). Casual fans only know Triple Nose as “that weird big nosed awkward guy who follows Shawn Michaels around & is Chyna’s male valet”
@@joemayo4078 Is that you, Paul Roma?
@@coreylineberry8557 what do u mean?
Copy & paste.
Normally I skip when TH-camrs advertise a sponsor, but this is the only channel where someone makes sponsorships creative and fun to watch.
I love 3W’s intro music. Just gets me pumped up for the video each time
Everything Rock and Angle did deserved at least 4 star, just a bit random from Big Show and Earl getting it wrong. Anyone who thinks Rock was just a promo guy, go back and watch his matches during this time.
"With Surfshark VPN, YOU are the shovel". Perfect 👌
Lol brian love the epic reference to "kicked his leg out from his leg" like owen said bout bret in their feud lol
