X-Factor doesn't have their Uncle Kracker theme on WWE Network! That's a travesty, ladies and gentlemen.
You may remember this song. It charted in Australia:

edit - Shane jumping off the Titantron would have to be up there with Foley getting thrown off the Hell in a Cell.

This is The Kat's final appearance and Jerry Lawler's last until November 2001. In real life, next day she gets fired for some reason and Lawler quits because he's engaged/married to her.

Paul Heyman's first episode on commentary. Back when he was good, not repeating the same Brock Lesnar speech for 8 years.

I've got everything I wanted and I'll never get that back. I know you hate that fact X-Factor, but you ain't gotta look at me like that. I said you ain't gotta look at me like that!
Do they play the imitation D-Generation X/My Time hybrid theme on the WWE Network?
Apparently she had a bad attitude backstage and many people wanted her gone. Vince didn't want to get involved so he had JR do the firing instead.
Even though a lot of people knew that ECW was done as a promotion by February/March 2001, Heyman's appearance on Raw confirmed it.

WWF purchased WCW in real life the previous Friday. This episode has a simulcast/crossover with Vince at Raw at Ohio boasting in the ring about beating his competition. In a shock twist, Shane appears in the ring at Nitro in Florida (the final Nitro) announcing he bought WCW and it will kick Vince's ass again in the future! Remember watching this at the time and it was all very exciting.

Stone Cold Steve Austin likes this.
I still remember the Raw fans booing heavily when Lex Luger's name was mentioned by Vince.

Heat April 1 2001 (before WrestleMania X-Seven)
From memory we didn't get pre-PPV Heats in Australia. So, amusing to see its match years later.
X-Factor theme isn't Uncle Kracker on this old recording so mustn't have had that theme yet

WrestleMania X-Seven
"WrestleMania, a celebration of life" *dramatic music*
At the Houston Astrodome. First Attitude Era WrestleMania in a big, * off stadium. Wouldn't return to a normal arena until 2004.
This goes for 4 hours. Remember when only WrestleMania did that, and there was enough going on to justify 4 hours...

Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho vs William Regal opens the show. Jericho is Undisputed WWF Champion the following year, which if memory serves me correctly made him the first wrestler to go from curtain jerking to the main event in consecutive WrestleManias.

If you remember the fan from Brisbane in the crowd Jonathan Coachman interviews, she's still in the WWE Network version.

Chyna's final WrestleMania appearance. Defeats Ivory for the Women's Championship.

Make me an Admin!
Watched it for the 1st time since live a few weeks ago.
Still the pinnacle.
Still the pinnacle.
One of the greatest WrestleManias of all time and to many it's the greatest WrestleMania of all time. It really had that epic WrestleMania feel to it, especially when compared to the lacklustre multi-man-mania the year before. The hype packages leading up to this PPV were awesome and they even managed to make a Limp Bizkit song sound great.
I know Vince and co. will say that the Attitude Era ended when they had to change their name from WWF to WWE in May 2002 but in my opinion and for many others, this PPV signalled the end of the Attitude Era.
Le Champion was indeed the first. The closest that any other wrestler achieved that feat before Jericho was King Kong Bundy (2nd match on card at WrestleMania I, main event at WrestleMania II).
Even though she wasn't considered a great worker (her matches in New Japan are surprisingly good though), winning the Women's Championship was a major step down for Chyna.
