Grapple City Rewind

Wrestling, on Meth - WWF No Way Out 2001


Listen Later

WWF No Way Out 2001 is where the Attitude Era officially flies off the rails.

We’re talking shopping carts, stop signs, barbed wire, blood everywhere, and a level of sleaze and chaos that feels less like wrestling and more like a bad decision made at 3 a.m. This show exists in that weird space between WrestleMania hype and total creative insanity—and somehow manages to be both fascinating and exhausting.

Brad and Aaron break down a night that includes:

  • A hardcore match that immediately asks “what am I signing up for?”
  • Vince McMahon being aggressively gross
  • Jerry Springer–level storytelling disguised as wrestling
  • A brutally violent Three Stages of Hell match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H that absolutely did not need anything to follow it
  • One of the most unhinged vibes we’ve covered on the show so far

Is this peak Attitude Era madness? A cautionary tale? Or just wrestling on meth?

We sort it out so you don’t have to.
