Here comes the Money save
Recently finished my first yearwcw 2001 hctm and my 4 favorite storylines of 2001. (Please comment your favorites as well)
+ The rise of "The Threat" Lance Storm who won the US title and later ended Booker T's 220+ day run with the World Title winning the belt and defending in against all comers (face or heel) he is the hottest tweener in the company right now.
+ the rivalry of Rob Van Dam and Curt Henning that lasted most of the year. They had a very matt hardy/mvp anything you can do type of rivalry, they even won the WCW Tag Team Championships for a few months before ending in a 30 minute Ironman match at Starcade that RVD won.
+ Monty Brown's dominant streak leading to him winning the TV Title and holding an open challenge the whole year (except the one week where Shark Boy got him with a fast roll up but he won it back the next week in a squash) before losing the belt the 2nd time at Starcade to Rey Mysterio.
+ The Legacy (Dustin Rhodes, BG James and "The Prince" Brian Lawler) who decided to declare war on anyone not a 2nd generation star. They won the tag belts (James and Lawler, lost them to RVD and Henning) and Dustin won the US belt (from Billy Kidman) and still holds it walking into 2002.
