Insurrextion (2002)


Insurrextion was the third Insurrextion professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation. It took place on May 4, 2002 at the Wembley Arena in London, England, and was the WWF's first pay-per-view event promoted under the Raw brand, with Rebellion that October become the SmackDown! brand event.
The event was also the last televised event to run under the WWF name; due to a lawsuit by the World Wildlife Fund, the Federation changed its name to World Wrestling Entertainment over the next two days and started to use the WWE name on the May 6 episode of Raw. In addition, Scott Hall and Curt Hennig were fired following the event for their involvement on a series of incidents on the return flight to the United States, referred to as the "plane ride from hell".

Storylines

The event featured nine professional wrestling matches and two pre-show matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Results

Crash Holly pinned Booker to win the Hardcore Title, Booker pinned Crash to win the Hardcore Title, and Richards pinned Booker to win the Hardcore Title.
