No Way Out 2001 was really good though, in my opinion. Fun hardcore bullshit opener, really strong four-way for the IC, that shockingly good Trish/Steph match, Austin/HHH Three Stages of Hell and Rock/Angle in a very good main event.

I’m with you if you’re listing that as a selling point, I really enjoyed it, but do I recall correctly it’s the most divisive match since Mania XII? Got a feeling that plenty of people thought it was terrible, for some reason.

 … Hunter. Hunter is the reason.

It's 40 minutes long and mostly boring is the usual reason. The feud around it being absolutely terrible definitely doesn't help.

Bret vs Shawn at Mania 12 is “divisive”? Everyone thinks it’s a shit boring match!

All I remember about it is after where some complete idiot throws a full can of drink into the ring and it beans Austin right on the crown of his head where he's also been bleeding. Makes me wince how much that much have ragged.

Shit ending as well, I know they had Hunter winning for when they were to eventually feud that summer but winning on a fluke did nothing for him and Austin looked shite from losing a month before Mania
