[Hulk With A Mustache]

SummerSlam wins the 2000 poll. Now, for the year of the InVasion, 2001:

Royal Rumble: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble_(2001)

No Way Out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Way_Out_(2001)
Stone Cold and Triple H fight in 3 Stages Of Hell. The Rock wins the WWE Title from Kurt Angle. Stephanie McMahon and Trish Stratus have a surprisingly good match. And, The Kat is forced to join Right To Censor after Jerry Lawler loses to Steven Richards. (Funny sidenote: the angle was quickly dropped after The Kat got fired, leading to Lawler, her husband, to quit in protest. The Kat repaid this kindness by divorcing him because she was sleeping with another man.)

King Of The Ring: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_Ring_(2001)
Kurt Angle tries to be the only 2-time KOTR winner during the PPV years but loses to Edge. He then goes on to nearly kill Shane McMahon in a brutal Street Fight. Also, the InVasion begins when The Undertaker confronts DDP for stalking his wife Sara and Booker T attacks Stone Cold during his WWE Title Triple Threat against The Chrises.

InVasion: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWF_Invasion
The PPV every wrestling fan wanted to see finally happens! With the largest buyrate for a non-WrestleMania PPV (770,000), we get the WWE VS WCW War we always wanted! Nick Patrick VS Earl Hebner!

The UK get to see The Rock and Stone Cold one-on-one on PPV for the 1st time since WrestleMania X-Seven. Also, Angle and Jericho have a really good WCW Title match. And, Chavo Guerrero and Hugh Morrus spend the PPV walking in on the ladies changing in the locker room.

Survivor Series: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series_(2001)
The InVasion ends with a whimper as The Rock pins Stone Cold to end The Alliance. Also, Test has his best match, against Edge. And, The Hardys and Dudleys fight in a Steel Cage.

WrestleMania X-Seven, easily.

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

x-7 but I'm throwing Royal Rumble a bone, it's my favourite one and it shouldn't come away with nothing.

No votes for SummerSlam?

[Tiffany Stratton's Daddy]

I was late to the party but clear winner with Mania 17. In my humble opinion, the second-best PPV of the year was King of the Ring. Angle versus Shane McMahon stole the show.

Invasion could have been a good show. Key word, could have been. I still find the show disappointed.
