2002 was interesting. The end of the Attitude Era & the Birth of Ruthless Aggression Era. RAW & SmackDown were more watchable because of Roster Exclusivity.

What a year. The WWF becomes the WWE..Cena, Mysterio, Orton, Lesnar, and Batista all debut, brand split, Stone Cold leaves, great year for PPVs, strong roster, NWO and Hogan return, HBK returns...so much to speak of.

Just seeing the thumbnail makes me miss the Undisputed/WWE Championship belt. The last world title to actually look like a world title save for the Big Gold Belt.

Always great videos

IDC what anyone says. Hands down. 2002 was one of the greatest years in WWE history. Iconic matches, unique storylines, debuts, Brand split, PPVs, what a year. The Year the ruthless aggression era was born.

The tag match at No Mercy 2002 was very good. I know this because Adam told me to pause the video and go watch it, and I did.

Also not a Hogan fan but his short stint after Judgement Day between Vengeance and KOTR was fun.

I actually really liked Insurrextion that year plus it was interesting to see how the British crowd reacted to the wrestlers and wrestling.

I was in the third row at Royal Rumble 2002 (when the hard camera zooms out a little you can see the back of my blond hair in the middle of the bottom of the screen ;) ). Still have my commemorative folding chair. My first PPV and it's still the best one I've ever been to. It was a thrill to see my childhood favorites Undertaker, Mr Perfect, and Big Boss Man live. Of course I knew Perfect wouldn't win the Rumble, but seeing him make the final 3 and Perfect-Plex Kurt Angle was my biggest mark-out moment as a wrestling fan.

You know this was a good year when No Way Out 2002 is ranked 12 out of 14.

Before I finish watching this, Survivor series 2002 better be number 1 all I’m saying... I’ve watched that PPV on DVD at least 100 times and I notice something new every time

The biggest question is, given how much Vince loved humiliating Eric Bischoff, how he only ever took one stinkface. I'm amazed that he didn't start a third brand with a two hour weekly show, where every match was Rikshi vs. Eric Bischoff in a hog pen match.

What, no mention of Plane Ride from Hell in Insurrextion?

You have it backwards, in 1996 he lost in MSG to sid, altho he was supposed to lose to Vader

Interestingly enough, undertaker almost wasnt on the card for mania that year his match with flair was added last minute

nice i just finished watching the royal rumble of 2002

I said I'd be fine with Survivor Series being near the top, and I'll take the 2nd place. That was one of the first PPVs I watched when getting into WWE, and watching it back now... yeah what a way to start! XD

It’s funny How Much Things Changed From January-December. January: Rock, Austin, NWO, Ric Flair, Booker T, RVD, Mr Perfect, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, DDP, Triple H, Dudley Boyz, Hardy Boyz, Still Had the “WWF” Logo. December: Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Randy Orton, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Edge, Christian, Chris Benoit, The Brand Split, The “WWE Logo”. Royal Rumble: Still had that “Attitude Era Feel”. Survivor Series: Ruthless Agression Was in feel force. So 2002 was a Very Great year.

“Almost 40 minutes in fact”. Hey that match was amazing! In my top 15 maybe

18.04 Conrad Thompson special guest appearance

The Undisputed Championship was weird as no other wrestler other than Jericho held it for longer than a month.

I haven't watched it yet, I personally think Survivor Series was the best ppv that year, it was better than RR, NWO & WM X-8 imo, plus it truly felt like WWE finally put the Federation days behind them and embraced the future

"Just Wait Until You Meet Lucy Mate!" DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!

I love these lists, but if I had one critique it would be overuse of stock images/clips. They're unnecessary.

I think if you do a year of ppv reviews, you should consider doing them in chronological order. I know 'worst to best' is a common trope on yt, but for a year of ppvs it would much easier to follow.
