2001 was filled with bad decisions by WWE.
The Angle-Austin fued was awesome right through Summerslam, but then they blew it.
I always thought the Austin heel turn was a mistake that they made twice in 2001, but they had a chance to make good of it with Angle coming off Summerslam. 9/11 happening as sad as this sounds could have been a huge break for the company, but they didn't use it.
Instead of making Angle the bad ass babyface that Austin used to be, they had him spray himself and a bunch of other men with white liquid. They also tried to make him be funny, which he is great at, but it doesn't help him draw money.
The Austin-Ange fued was awesome, but I think it could have been used like Hart0-Austin was in 96/97 and could have created the hier apparant to Austin, but of course it didn't. Sad.
