Wrestlespective: WWE Backlash 2001

[Jason Mann]

I'm joined by Trey Irby for a discussion of Steve Austin & Triple H vs. Undertaker & Kane at WWE Backlash 2001. We talk about about the fascinating period between WrestleMania 17 and the WCW/ECW Invasion, rising talents like the Hardys, Edge & Christian, Chris Benoit, and Chris Jericho getting cameos in main events, the intense effort it took to get Austin to be booed, the merits of putting all the titles on the line at once, whether Undertaker and Kane were good choices as Austin and Triple H's first foils, and how this is an interesting meld of Southern-style tag and Attitude Era antics.
