411's Other WWE Grade Reports [1st Half of 2002]

WWE's Handling of the Steve Austin Situation | A
This is a no-brainer. The WWE lost Stone Cold early in June, and never really lost a step. The first show without him, The Rock showed up and proved that the WWE will live without Austin, and the next week we saw new stars being made like Brock Lesnar, RVD and Jeff Hardy. Simple fact is nobody is larger then the business, and no matter what, WWE will go on. .::.PK

The "Get The 'F' Out" Campaign | B+
When WWF turned WWE in May, a lot of people, myself included, thought it would be a while until it caught on. Truth be told, on Internet searches alone, WWE has taken over WWF. More then less, the normal wrestling audience has accepted the change, and it will slowly take over the non-wrestling fans. .::.PK

Handling competition | A
Well, it's not too hard to handle the competition when there really isn't any. WWA really had no chance in hell, and while NWA: TNA has a good product going, being on PPV may ultimately be the end of them. WWE has no competition, and it looks like they won't for a while. .::.PK
