With This Ring #77: No Way Out 2001

Cindy and Ryan have rumbled onto the road to WrestleMania, but first, No Way Out 2001! One of the all-time well regarded B-shows. We look at the main event scene and what we will get as we continue towards WrestleMania. Topics include:

• We look at even more between Vince/Trish and Stephanie leading to a very surprising match at the PPV.
• Big Show coming back to be put right back in the hardcore division.
• A highly athletic Intercontinental Title forgotten classic (because of one of the competitors.)
• We go into the long and winding Triple H/Stone Cold rivalry and their classic Three Stages of Hell match.
• We look at the King feuding with the RTC and wanting to see the Kat naked…and how this would soon lead to the King leaving, Paul Heyman showing up on Raw and basically confirming ECW is dead.
• Another classic in Rock/Kurt Angle, even with a pointless Big Show appearance,
• The slow build to Austin/Rock, although the confusing point where they decided to put in Debra.
• Vince McMahon embarrassing Trish on numerous shows, including the infamous bark like a dog segment and Paul Heyman’s classic line during that segment.

Enjoy the show!
