Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Moments before the event started, a group of Hell's Angels on Harley Davidson motorcycles managed to get past Madison Square Garden security, entering the backstage area through the loading dock, determined to see the show. Despite the event being completely sold out, WWF management accommodated their request, and brought in a few extra chairs for them. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The match between King Kong Bundy and S.D. Jones is said to have set a record of 9 seconds for the shortest match in WWF history. However, the match, in real time, actually runs for at least 20 seconds. more

The First One=One of the Worst, 5 March 2002
2/10
Author: jimjam20-2 from Dallas, OR

Ya know, just because it is the first one, does not make it good! This show is pretty bad. Boring and bad matches litter the card & absolutly nothing is worth seeing on this show. If you are a die hard WWF fan & you haven't seen this yet, you should. If you are just a casual fan, stay away from this crappy card.
