Do you think the Invasion angle was enjoyable or a failure? Let us know in the comments below!
It failed because all of the big stars in WCW weren't part of it. Pretty simple.
That and Vince burring most of the few they have at the time for the sake of WWF>WCW
And, we all knew what the endgame was. Vince would have never had WCW win anything.
I think even if they had gotten them it wouldn’t have made any difference because when the big names were eventually brought in they didn’t do a great job with their booking then.
Vince would never put anything he didn't create, over. Even if it was what was best for business.
Vince had no idea to book The Invasion pay-per-view it should have done WrestleMania numbers
The invasion failed because #1 they didn't have the big stars #2 they treated the wcw guys and ecw talent as a joke and none threat. If vince was smart he could of waited a bit to get the big names and make 3 ppv with wcw winning one wwe winning another and having wwe and wcw challenge the nwo that has been a threat and secretly recruiting wwe guys with dx heavily with nwo and have stone cold team with the rock and sting, luger against them
Failure for sure but it was to be expected. Especially, w/o Sting, Goldberg, NWO, Flair, etc. Most of the top invasion guys were WWE guys in the end. Mainly Austin and Angle.
If Vince McMahon were able to buy every roster out contract through Time Warner. The build-up of the invasion could have been similar to both Hall & Nash emerging from the crowd and entering the ring invading the WWF. Each following week revealed a big surprise with Eric Bischoff, Ric Flair as allies against Vince McMahon. The following week between Monday and Friday. Every big name from WCW emerged from the crowd and attack every WWF roster; Hogan with NWO, Booker T, Goldberg, lex luger, Sid Vicious, Diamond Dallas Page, Bam Bam Bigelow, and shocking debut of Sting and return of Bret Hart. Return with a Vengeance.
nWo shouldve came in to WWE earlier. they feud with the Undertaker. Undertaker gets buried alive by the nWo. he disappears for a few months. nWo begins taking over. Undertaker returns as the Ministry … destroys the nWo. then after Taker destroys the nWo, he wants to take over the WWF. Vince needs a hero to save WWF… enter STING!!!!!
@@newjerseyballerno stone cold was the real hero of the WWF not sting
@@omarlopes5762 that he was, but it wouldve been a great debut for the Sting character.
@@newjerseyballer you make no sense 🤡
@@vampirascoffin870 a lot of things dont make sense in wrestling, sometimes Lol.
He's such a boring interview
With Vince what i heard about him he was not the sort of person to push talent that was not created in house so anyone coming in like the WCW wrestlers it was always going to be a problem....if done well it could have lasted for so long
If it had been Shane O Mac to resurrect Eric Bischoff into
Stephanie McMahon pushes ECW with Paul Heyman.
Problem is; it was Shane McMahon's touted
Shane O Mac could have teased the possibility of the bigger names churning at ANY MOMENT to FUCK UP WWF
I did enjoy most of it, i did wish HHH wasn't injured at the time, i wonder whos side he would have been on, they should of never retired the European title even the light heavyweight championship should of been used beter and kept going
Also it's a shame the likes of sting and Goldberg and various other wcw stars didn't want to be involved
@@moorzzy3 Yeah I think Sting's involvement as a sort of wild card anti-hero for both sides could've been the perfect thing to elevate the story. Sad that we'll never know.
would have interesting to see where the "POWER TRIP" Tag team storyline would have played out
hhh would have buried most of the wcw guys have y'all seen what he did to booker t , Goldberg & Steiner???
To be fair they did manage to sign some big stars like DDP & Booker T in 2001
WWE ruined DDP. That stalker angle should have went to Steiner. DDP should have had a People's Champ vs People's Champ feud.
@@FathersUnited-fu DDP should have beaten the rock.
Booker T was midcard in WCW. They had him as the leader 🤷♂️ Then they had DDP sideline with stupid storylines
WRONG. WCW turned Booker into a main-event star by the year 2000.
@@ivanfranceschi9139 WCW made Booker in a main eventer, that is true, but the word "star" is reaching.
No Sting no Luger no Goldberg no Steiner Brothers no Stevie Ray and a bunch of others guys left off the list. No wonder it failed.
It was a box-office flop
It failed. The obvious reasons are WCW mega stars were not brought in. Those from WCW and ECW who were brought in were treated like a Joke with only RVD really doing good being Hardcore champion and being loved by the fans. Most of the big names on the WCW/ECW side were with WWE then defected again like Dudley Boyz, Tazz, William Regal, Stone Cold, Kurt Angle, Christian, Shane/Stephanie, Molly Holly, Ivory, etc…
Some of the highlights we did get though was Rock vs Jericho feud, Edge vs Christian feud, Trish Stratus beginning her first of many title reigns, Shane vs Angle at KOTR, Hardy’s vs Dudley’s at Survivor Series.
Despite this it doesn’t outweigh how bad the overall angle was. Most of the women’s matches from Invasion to No Mercy were Bra & Panties/Lingerie matches always involving Stacy Kiebler and Torrie Wilson where possible… we didn’t start getting more normal women’s matches until the Six Pack Challenge with Trish, Jaqueline, Lita, Ivory, Molly and Jazz at survivor series onwards. Generally many of the PPV/Matches were just not worth watching…
All about timing. No Hogan, Sting, Goldberg, Steiner, Hall, Nash, Flair, Mysterio. Also, HHH, Benoit, Guerrero were all injured.
It failed because they didn't have the big stars
But…….he signed them.
Booker T was one of the guys who foregoed the guaranteed money to join WWE.... then injured Stone Cold Steve Austin on his first night!
Zack Hample made it happen
JR is such a boring story teller
Wrestling need heels and babyfaces, WCW had to be heels so they had to be booked weaker.
