June 23 2002.
It had been a tumultuous few weeks for WWE. Stone Cold Steve Austin, the biggest star in the history of the professional wrestling industry, had sensationally walked out on the company- and, seemingly, WWE had turned its back on him in response.

L. T. is joined by newLegacy Inc. fellow Slip for a look back at the first pay-per-view in a post-Austin wrestling landscape.
