WWE Insurrextion
Insurrextion was an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event that ran from 2000 to 2003. It was produced by the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/E) exclusively for the United Kingdom. Insurrextion was also aired on Viewers Choice pay-per-view in Canada as well, only the 2002 event was aired in the United States. From 2002 it was a Raw brand exclusive show. After the 2003 show, all-UK exclusive pay-per-view shows were stopped as WWE started to stage Raw and Smackdown in the UK in 2004. Triple H was featured in the main event of all four versions of the event. Insurrextion's theme song was "Burning Tree", a WWF Production Theme.
