It seems to me a criminally underlooked decisive year in the history of the Company. Felt like two whole different eras were stuck in the same solar year>Started in january with still all the core AE legends (Rocky, Austin) and most WCW legends too (Hogan, NWO) still under the WWF name>Ended in december under the WWE, with the brand split, a rookie and a returned Shawn Michaels as champs, many of the legends of the 90s replaced months after month with newcoming Mysterio, Batista, Orton, CenaWhat does /vp/ think of the year 2002 in Wrestling?
soulless when they got the F out
>>20567447The last good year in WWE until 2012.PPVs and weekly TV was great, just very different to the previous few years.2003 started to get rough and by 2004 it became unwatchable.
>>20567461RA was very soulfull, more than the whole 2001's invasion angle at least
>>20567447Pretty good but they could've done way better without triple gaych as champion
Hilarious how you could pay a decent price to see these guys on a random raw or smackdown. Now you have to pay 10x that amount and all you get to see is womeme matches and a bunch of other shitters
>>20567447You will never convince me that 1st half of WWE in 2002 was the weirdest most bizarre period in the company history. I call it the lost files period because it feels like a fever dream looking back at it. Immediately after the invasion there was no fucking law and order, no hierarchy of stars. It felt like everyone had a reset button because what do you mean tag team specialists like Hardy's or APA suddenly going singles for no reason and tag teaming with the most established main eventers like Austin or Rock for absolutely no reason not building up to any feud and then the very next week go back right down the midcards fighting in hardcore matches. It wasn't until the brand split that we got speration of the midcarders from the main eventers again with clear hierarchial order
>>20567616Yea 2002 it was also the only time where Hogan bothered to work almost full time in his whole career, having random matches on SmackDown (booked like the average 80s Hogan squash most of the times) and even somehow found himself in a tag team champ run with Edge of all people feuding against a couple of faggots. Really bizzarre timeframe
>>20567607edrones have no rebuttal for this
>>205674632004 Raw was still good. If you think that was unwatchable, the fuck has WWE been ever since? Kek
>>20567839>with Edge of all peopleThem winning the tag belts on the fourth of July was gigabased though
