Some key moments: The signing of Vader by WWF The introduction of The Ringmaster Steve Austin Goldust going into overdrive with his "androgynous" character The introduction of Billionaire Ted's Wrasslin' War Room Vince Russo's influence on the product All while WCW continues to march out a lineup of hall of famers the 1927 New York Yankees would be in awe of!
