2001 Backlash was a very up and down event. Benoit/Angle was awesome and the main event pretty decent, but that Jericho/Regal match was a bad idea...

Wasn't that Jerry Lynn title win on Heat or something?

Don't remember Vince winning the ECW Title but then maybe I had stopped watching by them. All he needs to do now is revive WCW so that he can win that title!:
