So it was highlights from the 2000 rumble if the Hardy's and Dudley's table match and bikini contest with a new interview of Stone Cold by JR. I mean compared to the year before this kinda feels lame which is weird cause the WWE is still smoking hot and Halftime Heat was at the time ( I forget if something beat it) one of if not the highest watched match ever on cable.... So why the lackluster follow up?

I imagine it would've had to be another empty-arena or backstage brawl match, since the logistics of having a live event with a crowd during the Super Bowl (and timing everything right) would be extremely challenging. Maybe they just didn't feel like they had the right feud/concept to pull it off again the way they did with Rock-Mankind.

Last time they tried running a house show here was during the Super Bowl…it was canceled because of “logistics” and not at all because they sold f*** all for tickets. They might have managed 1000 people had it not been the Super Bowl, and I live in a shitty Canadian city where no one ever comes and nothing ever happens and they still couldn’t sell tickets. |

Yes, I am aware it was pre-taped. There was no crowd. |

They acted like they were showing the match on the Titantron as it was happening to the crowd at the Heat/Raw taping, but that was just created in post-production. In reality, they simply told the crowd that the match happened during the day and Mankind had won shortly before he and Rock came out to tape their segment for Raw. |

My point is just that you can't actually do a live WWE show with fans during the Super Bowl. |
