Trivia:

This event marked the first time the WCW World Heavyweight (referred to at the time only as the "World Title") and WWF championships were officially unified. Although it was called the "Undisputed championship," this name was dubious because there were several other international wrestling organizations at the time with world champions (such as the National Wrestling Alliance, New Japan and All-Japan).

WWE Vengeance 2001

This was a decent PPV, but WWE had to change the name to Vengeance from Armageddon because of what happened on 9/11. Some of the matches were boring, but some were still good.

Results from the PPV: - Scotty 2 Hotty and Albert beat Test and Christian in a fair opener.

- Edge defeated William Regal in a passable match.

- Jeff Hardy defeated Matt Hardy with Lita as referee. Actually Matt still had his foot on the rope when Lita counted to 3.

- The Dudley Boyz defeated Kane and The Big Show to retain the WWE tag team titles in a decent match.

- The Undertaker defeated RVD to win the Hardcore title in a very good match.

- 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin defeated Kurt Angle.

- Chris Jericho defeated The Rock.

- Chris Jericho defeated Austin in a boring match to become the Undisputed Champion.

Overall Grade - B-
