The day saw a handful of terrorist attacks that rocked the country and caused many casualties. The United States came to a stand-still as many businesses closed operations over the next few days. WWE SmackDown was supposed to tape on the 11th, but the company couldn't hold the show due to the tragedies that transpired.

The World Wrestling Federation rode high during the Attitude Era, by this point soundly defeating its rival WCW in both general business and in ratings. Still, the quality of the show was chaotic and left a lot to be desired to many purists.
