Wwf King Of The Ring 2001 Highlights

Remember King of the Ring 2001? Oh, the Memories!

Okay, let's be real. King of the Ring 2001. It's a wrestling time capsule, isn't it? Some call it a disaster. I'm here to say... it's complicated.

Let's dive into the good, the bad, and the "what were they thinking?" moments. Get ready for some 2001 nostalgia!

The Good (Or, At Least, The Nostalgic)

Kurt Angle was there! Always a plus. He was feuding with Edge and Christian then. Classic stuff.

And let's not forget the tag team turmoil. Hardy Boyz, Dudley Boyz, and Edge & Christian always delivered. Tables, ladders, and chairs! Oh my!

That Intercontinental Championship match between Kane and Albert? It was... a match. Okay, maybe "good" is a strong word. It existed!

The Bad (And the Questionable Fashion Choices)

Speaking of existing... remember the KOTR tournament itself? It wasn't the strongest lineup. Sorry not sorry!

And don't even get me started on the main event. Shane McMahon versus Kurt Angle in a Street Fight. Now, I love a good Shane O'Mac stunt. But this was... brutal. In a "maybe dial it back a notch" kind of way.

Angle took a beating. A serious beating. Was it entertaining? Parts of it, sure. Was it slightly uncomfortable to watch? Absolutely!

The "Seriously, What Were They Thinking?" Moments

Edge winning the King of the Ring? Here's my hot take: It was fine. But did it elevate him to the next level immediately? Debatable.

It felt more like a stepping stone than a coronation. A sparkly, slightly awkward stepping stone.

And let's not forget the overall vibe of the show. It felt... off. A little too serious, a little too violent, a little too much 2001 angst. Someone needed a hug.

Unpopular Opinion Time!

Okay, here's where I might lose some of you. Ready? King of the Ring 2001 wasn't *entirely* terrible. It was a product of its time. And sometimes, those products are wonderfully, hilariously flawed.

It had its moments of entertainment, even if they were sandwiched between moments of head-scratching bewilderment. Think of it as a wrestling rollercoaster – full of ups, downs, and occasional projectile vomiting (metaphorically speaking, of course!).

It was certainly memorable. And in the world of wrestling, sometimes that's all that matters. Right?

Final Thoughts (and a Plea for Forgiveness)

So, next time you're feeling nostalgic and want to revisit some early 2000s wrestling, give King of the Ring 2001 a watch. Just don't expect a masterpiece. Expect a... journey. A bizarre, slightly painful, but ultimately unforgettable journey.

And if you disagree with me? That's okay! Wrestling opinions are like belly buttons. Everyone's got one. And some are just a little bit...weird.

Just promise me you'll smile while you're yelling at your screen. Because that's what wrestling is all about, isn't it? Pure, unadulterated, slightly ridiculous fun.
