Moments - Positives
Another solid PPV from the 2001 calendar which actually ended up being quite a momentous occasion as the Alliance/WWF storyline officially came to an end after over 6 months in running. The main event was one for the ages and was very well built up. I actually found it hugely enjoyable and the fantastic Raw which followed the PPV, made the event even more important. I also thoroughly enjoyed the tag team title match.

Moments - Negatives
When watching this PPV one cant help but think that the WWF could have done something so much more with the WCW / ECW brand then just this whole Alliance storyline. I think McMahon's ego took over at this stage and the other brands really were not given a fair shot! I also hated the overuse of Test during this PPV - he was a solid worker but this was not the time to push someone of his calibre when so many other quality workers were in the background!

Overall
It was a good event, a cracking main event and a fantastic story but I think somehow watching this PPV I am saddened that this was the last time we saw or heard the WCW brand mentioned in a PPV storyline. Still I wont base my score on that factor, and overall I enjoyed the show so the score is reflective of this fact.

SCORE = 8.0

  1. The whole WCW/ECW v WWE storyline was one of the best I can remember. The structure, the planning and the execution of the whole idea was 10/10. I remember the anticipation of that night and the wrestlers captured the audience better then any other event I can recall of
