Forgot about checking on this, hence my late arrival. I can add a few cents on a couple things, first with 2001 and Wrestlecrap's Hall of Fame.
Amazingly enough (I think), not a single event in the final 3 months of WCW got inducted into the Wrestlecrap Hall of Fame. However, the Worst (or ****er) of the Year award went to the entire InVasion angle from beginning to end! Most notable thing I remember the article saying is how Survivor Series was basically...
Alliance
Austin: While he was a WCW star, it was WWF that made him who he is
Angle: Never wrestled in WCW
Booker T: Big WCW star
Rob Van Dam: Big ECW star
Shane McMahon: Duh
And of course the WWF, which had 3 guys who were never in WCW, and 2 guys who might have had halfway decent careers in WCW, but their big time came in the WWF. And there's still the fact that hardly anyone that came over from WCW/ECW was made to look legit.
Other 2001 inductees into the WrestleCrap Hall of Fame include...
- Stalker DDP, the DDP that ignored his super-hot wife Kimberly in favor of stalking Undertaker's below-average wife
- Attitude Era Christmas Party. Basically the end-of-year X-Mas shenanigans, which involved two separate parties (a face party hosted by Flair and a heel party hosted by Vince), Bubba Claus vs. Tajiri Claus, Stacy and Torrie dressed in hot Santa clothes and wrestling in mud, Austin and Kane playing guitar together for a split second, and Mae Young sabotaging Vince's party. Somehow they crammed all this into two hours, along with a solid WWF title match between Rock, Jericho, and Angle.
- Drew Carey in the Royal Rumble. (Best quote: "You can tell this is done in 2001, cause if Drew Carey was looking for the master of ppvs now, he'd have Dana White's number on speed-dial")
- WWE superstars on The Weakest Link, where Booker T thought Thanksgiving was in October, and (like everything else) Triple H wins in the end when the final two are him and Stephanie!
- Moppy, Perry Saturn's final companion in the WWF
- The XFL, Vince's sports league that completely flopped in its first and only year.
