Kurt Angle kidnaps Alliance-leader Steve Austin by stealing his new pickup truck and threatens to throw him off of various Don River bridges in search of a title opportunity. Meanwhile, Christian loses a WCW title match against The Rock before shockingly turning on his brother Edge in front of their home crowd.
John & Wai discuss the context of the Invasion during this period, how the product’s over-reliance on comedic storytelling affected its business, as well as the details of a rare technical error that prevented the show from its proper close.
Plus, news from the week involving the WrestleMania X8 announcement rally in Toronto.
In support of The Doe Fund, this event was chosen by Reel Digital Charity Auction Winner, Brad MacDonald.
