I missed it by a day, but still wanted to post this.
15 years ago! For the longest while, that was my fave moment in WWE history(topped coincidentally by Rock returning in 2011).

Was real special for me back in 2001 cause I had only just started watching WWE regularly, earlier that year, but despite that, actually had a Rock poster in my room for years before that. Since Raw aired 9-11pm on "school nights", I wasn't able to really get to watch it live unless it was something special like Christmas break,march break,summer vacation and so on.

So of course, being summer 2001, I got to watch it, so this was one of the first Raws I ever got to watch live. Got to watch it with some of my family too, and I remember we were celebrating too during the end of that entire thing. Rock Bottom on Vince, went crazy. Rock Bottom on Shane, went crazy. Then he says he's coming back to the WWF,and we started celebrating lol.

One of the reasons the Invasion was special to me. Despite so many people hating it, I never knew WCW(again,ironically,I had a WCW video game since the 90s,but never knew what WCW or wrestling really was lol). But it was the first real angle in wrestling I remembered, so it became real special to me for that reason. I think my first ever time watching wrestling was early 2000(Hardys-Dudleyz,table match)

I did too. Amazing.

On related note I'm watching Raw last night from July 5 1999. Dude in the crowd has a sign that says Jericho is WWF bound. It cracked me up to think some dude was cruising the dirt sheets from his AOL connection on a Compaq Presario somewhere.

Ha
