I've been watching the Invasion angle from 2001 lately, and it's some of the only stuff that has kept me hooked from my random picking of the WWE Network. There's been some really good stuff so far, with matches between guys that you wouldn't have thought about before Vince bought WCW.
With Summerslam coming up next on the PPV calendar, I started watching Summerslam 2001. This was in the middle of the Invasion era and had WWF playing catch up due to them losing the Inaugural Brawl (thanks to Stone Cold turning on them in favour of the Alliance).
Edge was first up, challenging Lance Storm for the Intercontinental Championship, hoping to bring the title back 'home' to the WWF. After hearing Storm on a few podcasts lately, and having a much bigger appreciation for his work, I was eager to get immersed in one of his matches. The tag match that he and Mike Awesome had with Edge and Christian at the Invasion PPV was decent, but the one-on-one match between he and Edge was pleasing just to see him do his thing on his own.
