You're talking as if 2001 didn't have any duds. The entire Invasion Angle was a bloody dud, and on average the 2000s PPVs are better than the 2001 PPVs apart from the first three of the year. Backlash, Judgement Day, Fully Loaded, Summerslam and No Mercy in 2000 were better than their 2001 counterparts, whilst also having a great Rumble and No Way Out.

[@lordtrigon1733]

Wrestlemania X-7, Backlash, Invasion, SummerSlam, No Mercy and Vengeance make this easily the best year for the Hardcore title imo. I watch these matches and feel like the really could’ve meant more than what it is remembered for. I particularly loved Raven vs Rhyno.

We all know how stone cold Steve Austin won at wrestlemania but can we just take a moment to appreciate The Rock's performance in that match? Cuz he did his best to survive in that match. I haven't seen many people appreciating his performance in that match cuz mostly people talk about Austin shaking hands with McMahon. Of course that moment was shocking but we need to appreciate the Great One

I think the Invasion mess overshadows it in a lot of fans’ minds, but if you take away the hate goggles 2001 is just 2000 but with better match quality. Austin and Angle alone had their all-time best years, and you had Jericho and Benoit also tearing it up with the arrival of new guys like RVD, Booker T and Rhyno to spice things up.
