WWE had these from 1997-2003. Did anyone else see them? Looking back, they were just glorified house shows and nothing important really happened (unless you count the European title changing hands a few times). I always looked forward to them though. Jobber John Cena and Dawn Marie lost to Torrie Wilson and Billy Kidman one time. Sable and Christian beat Jacqueline and Marc Mero another time and Jacqueline's boobs popped out during the match. The Rock and HHH had a great cage match at Rebellion 99. That's the only match I really remember feeling like a US PPV match. Usually the wrestlers took it easy and really did treat these like house shows. British Bulldog once threw a trash can and knocked out Stephanie McMahon, which gave her amnesia. I think this was one of the few things that they ever acknowledged on RAW and continued for a few weeks after. Undertaker/HHH had a main event in 2002 and the ring ropes broke early on so the rest of the match was really awkward with them trying to work around it. I remember being excited when Rock vs. Austin was announced as the main event of Rebellion 2001 since they had mostly been kept apart since WM X7. Of course there was never any chance of the title changing hands though. Trish refereed a WWF vs. Alliance tag match on that show too which was weird since why wouldn't she just favour her fellow WWF Divas?

Rebellion 2002 with Edge substituting for an injured Undertaker to challenge Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman in a handicap match for the WWE Championship was pretty good, imo.
The best was Shawn Michaels defeating British Bulldog for the European Championship when Bulldog had dedicated the match to his sister who had cancer. That was ruthless 💀
