10 Best WWE Pay-Per-Views: 2000 - 2002

#5 No Mercy 2001

Not a bad performance in sight

I think WWE had a great streak of solid pay-per-views in 2001. This show did not feature a single bad performance.

The Hardy Boyz opened up the show with a win over Lance Storm and The Hurricane. It was short but nicely paced.

Test pinned Kane in a satisfactory match. It was a win that should have elevated Test up the card.

Torrie Wilson beat Stacy Kiebler in a Lingerie match. Again, something the Women's Revolution is nothing about, but the live audience was high on it.

Edge defeated Christian in a very exciting Ladder match to reclaim the WWE Intercontinental Championship. A little long-winded, but overall, a very exciting match and full of high spots.

The Dudley Boyz beat the Big Show and Tajiri to retain the WWE World Tag Team Championships next. It was decent considering Show and Tajiri were just thrown together.

The Undertaker pinned Booker T in a fair match. At this point of the year, Taker was doing no favors for new WWE stars, so it is pretty amazing he allowed Booker to look as good as he did here before taking his selfish win.

The main event saw Stone Cold Steve Austin retain the WWE Championship over Kurt Angle and Rob Van Dam in a red hot three-way. This was action packed and another highly underrated main event.

The best match of the night came from the WCW Championship match between The Rock and Chris Jericho. Both men had one of the finest matches of both of their careers here, it was simply excellent. Jericho pinned The Rock to win 'the big one'.
