11 Awesome WWE Title Moments That Became FORGOTTEN

The WWE Vault YouTube channel recently uploaded this gem, and you need to see it.

At No Mercy 2001, the company put on a Triple Threat pitting reigning champ Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle vs. Rob Van Dam. It was bell to bell magic. Van Dam’s selling was top notch, Austin was at his brawling best, Angle was over as a babyface, and the Vince vs. Shane stuff around ringside added to the bout instead of distracting from it.

Consider this one of the invasion angle’s best title moments by far. Granted, there weren't too many of them from Austin's heel run amidst all of the WCW/ECW vs. WWF stuff, but No Mercy '01 stands proudly as an example of everything right from that year. It was pulsating to say the least.

Back to Rob's sell jobs. He sold the pain of Austin and Angle's knee attacks like the rent was due. Maybe that was a hangover from the ECW days under Paul Heyman when payoffs were never guaranteed.

Yes, yes it was impossible to resist that little dig at the original 'little promotion that could'. ECW had some monumental moments and created countless memories, but things did get a tad shady here or there before the end.

There was nothing suspect or shady about No Mercy's Triple Threat, that's for sure. RVD proved that be belonged next to the WWF's brightest stars, and his selling logically provided a reason for some 1v1 skirmishes between Kurt and 'Stone Cold' as he recovered on the apron/on mats outside the ring.
