It's interesting when I go back to look at the WWF vs Alliance period.
It's full of moments of booking that watching now as a joyless smarky fella I'd immediately hate.
Really the entire Rock and Booker T feud is Book looking like a chump as Rocky overcomes the odds, the alliance is general is basically a bunch of mooks that even with corrupt refs and a bevy of interference always come up short.
You've got the Booker T midget segment and Heyman's commentary is perfectly encapsulating why none of it is actually amusing yet back at the time I lapped this up and heavily disliked Heyman on commentary.
At this moment I realise that if I was a young'un again watching modern WWE I'd almost certainly be on the Reigns train buying into the storyline where he's being screwed on the regular despite being given more chances and a push further than anyone on the roster.
I WAS HAPPY THAT DDP JOBBED TO TAKER'S WIFE, WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME?!
AHHHHHH!
This is a cruel trip down memory lane.
All that said Austin/Angle is still a dope feud, completely forget about Angle acting like he was gonna push Austin off a bridge only for it to be a paddling pool, even at the time I thought that was grim, enough for me to feel sorry for Stone Cold.
