1. Trish Stratus
Many didn’t think she was worthy of the Women’s title. But she was a good champion and she’s proven that she’s actually a pretty good wrestler.
2. Edge
It was a breakout year for Edge. He became a singles wrestler again, won the IC title, and became the 2001 King of the Ring.
3. Rob Van Dam
A lot of people probably didn’t even know who he was a year ago. Now he’s one of the most popular stars in all of wrestling.
Runners up: Rhyno, Kurt Angle, Steve Austin, Tajiri, Albert
