Overview

The 2002 Rebellion was the fourth annual and final Rebellion professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the American promotion, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's SmackDown! brand division, which made it WWE's first-ever SmackDown!-exclusive PPV. The event took place on October 26, 2002, at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England and was broadcast exclusively in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. It was the first Rebellion held under the WWE name, after the promotion had been renamed from World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to WWE in May earlier that year. Rebellion was discontinued after this 2002 event due to the promotion's discontinuation of UK-exclusive PPVs in 2003. Production Background Rebellion was an annual United Kingdom-exclusive pay-per-view (PPV) produced by the American professional wrestling promotion, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), since 1999. The 2002 event was the fourth event in the Rebellion chronology. It was scheduled to be held on October 26, 2002, at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. It was also the first Rebellion produced under the WWE name, as the company was renamed from World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to WWE in May earlier that year. It was also the first Rebellion produced under the brand extension that was introduced in March, which divided the roster into two separate brands, Raw and SmackDown!, where wrestlers were exclusively assigned to perform. The 2002 event was in turn held exclusively for wrestlers from the SmackDown! brand, which was the promotion's first SmackDown!-exclusive PPV produced. Storylines The event featured nine professional wrestling matches and two pre-show matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WWE's writers on the SmackDown! brand. Storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television show SmackDown!.

Notable quotes

“Rebellion presupposes the existence of oppression and, on the psychological plane, deification of rebellion creates an affective compact with oppression.”
— Giovanni Baldelli, Social Anarchism (1971), p. 7
“They have been told that their dissent from violent measures is an encouragement to rebellion. Men of great presumption and little knowledge will hold a language which is contradicted by the whole course of history. General rebellions and revolts of an whole people never were encouraged, now or at any time. They are always provoked.”
— Edmund Burke, Letter to the Sheriffs of Bristol (3 April 1777)
“When the sword of rebellion is drawn, the sheath should be thrown away.”
— John Singleton Copley, letter on the subject of the American Revolution (Aug. 6, 1775).
“No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.”
— Barbara Ehrenreich, "Family Values," The Worst Years of Our Lives (1991).
“Marxism comprises many principles, but in the final analysis they can all be brought back to a single sentence: It is right to rebel.”
— Mao Zedong, Speech marking the 60th birthday of Stalin (20 December 1939), later revised as "It is right to rebel against reactionaries."
“Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.”
— Inscription on a Cannon near which the ashes of President John Bradshaw were lodged, on the top of hill near Martha Bay in Jamaica. See Stiles—History of the Three Judges of Charles I. Attributed also to Franklin in Randall's Life of Jefferson, Volume III. P. 585. Motto on Jefferson's seal.
