Jarrett was hitting his peak by this point while Christopher still was serviceable, and they had good chemistry despite the late replacement and Jarrett gets a solid title defense.

We see highlights from the Revolution as we go off the air.
 
Final Analysis: Overall, the second PPV for WWA was a much better outing than their first one though there were still some flaws here. It seemed like there was more balance on this show as they were wanting to showcase new guys while also bringing in the veterans, and they seemed to have a better flow for this show than the previous show last year. Jarrett is still the man while Guerrero now rules the Cruiserweight Division and Nova, Funkster, Kronik, Puppet, Storm, Rick, and Miller get big wins, and in terms of the matches Storm/Sabu was the best with the Cruiserweight matches right behind it and the rest were solid to slightly below average. After their first outing in 2001, it seemed like WWA was poised to gain some momentum as the year continues, but we will see how things play out with guys coming and going throughout the year. As for this show, it is a solid show that was better than Inception and looks to build WWA as the year continues. Final Grade: B-
