#3. Buff Bagwell Vs. Booker T: Monday Night RAW: July 2, 2001

A stinker of a match sunk any chance of WCW being revived.

There has perhaps been no bigger event in WWE history, than when Vince McMahon bought WCW.

For the first time, the WWF had no competition in North America, leaving them free to do what they want.

And though WCW were gone, they weren't fully gone, as the company seemingly planned on bringing them back as it's own brand.

Wondering whether fans would still watch a WCW contest, the July 2, 2001 edition of RAW had Booker T defend the WCW Title against Buff Bagwell.

In Buff's only WWF match, the contest was a stinker, regarded by many as the worst main event in RAW history.

After the match, any plans of reviving WCW died, and the Alliance angle began, which ended months later at Survivor Series.
