(Yokozuna retained the WWF World Title) Match observations: Severn beat Jarrett. Close match. VERY close match. It could conceivably gone either way, and Severn and Jarrett know it very well. Therefore, Jarrett will get a third chance, at King of the Ring. Big Daddy Cool is back and better than ever - for lack of a better term. His victory over Stan Hansen got him a title shot at Yokozuna to be held at the King of the Ring 2002. Speaking of Yokozuna, wasn't his victory over Japanese legend Riki Chosyu atrocious ? Someday he'll have to pay... Surprise, surprise. Who would have thought the 1-2-3 Kid would recruit none other the the Great Sasuke. You don't know who Great Sasuke is ? For one, he is one of the greatest high-flyers ever. Then he hates Hakushi. The only unknown in this equation is Sasaki San. Who is he ?
