What went wrong?

>>1747359
Vince's all out determination to bury WCW regardless of logic.

>>1747359
No Sting or Goldberg

Vince picked feeding his ego over makin' dollars.

>>1747378
Pretty much this. Vince went out of his way to bury WCW talent, just because he could.

The saddest thing is that despite this, Invasion is the highest selling PPV outside of WrestleMania in WWF/E history

Imagine how huge it would have been if they actually gave a shit and tried.

>>1747359
Vince's ego and the eternal proof that along money is not his priority

All of the WCW guys got heat because they would sell after taking big moves rather than getting right up for the next one. This is why DDP went from trying to fuck with Undertaker to just trying to fuck Undertaker's ugly wife, and Kanyon was made to dress as Boy George and take stiff chair shots.

>WCW's biggest stars i.e. nWo, goldberg, sting etc. not even involved
>wcw team was lead WWE guys anyway
>wcw guys were constantly cheating and shown to be weaker than WWE
>vince caring more about burying an already dead company that he literally owns instead of potentially making the most money wrestling has ever made

That episode where ECW joined and turned on the WWF guys was fucking awesome I marked the fuck out only for them to ruin it at the very end when they annouced Steph as the owner

>>1747646

when ECW joined WCW it became less about WWF vs WCW and more about WWF vs "The Alliance" which was just another heel stable led by WWF guys Shane and Austin

>>1747359
No Goldberg
No Sting
No HHH
No nWo

No Sting
No nWo
No Goldberg
No Rock
No HBK
No HHH

>>1747462
>got heat for selling

Kek fucking vince

Which 5 vs 5 should it have really been?

>Hogan, Nash, Hall, Sting, Goldberg
vs
>Austin, Rock, Triple H, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels

>>1748483
If you really want to draw you probably drop Hall (alcohol problems whatever) and shove Bret Hart in there especially after the screwjob.

>>1748483
you do a 5 way and then Austin vs Goldberg main event

1 million++++ buys

>>1748525
Maybe,
But he was barely a WCW guy
Just went there for a paycheck, got buried by Hogan, was a literal nobody the entire time.

The legend of Bret Hart is all WWF.

>>1748551
Yeah but from a storyline perspective it makes complete sense for Bret Hart to help WCW destroy WWE after the screwjob

>>1747359

Why are Trish Stratus, Stacy Keibler, and Torrie Wilson's names trademarked when those are their legal names?

>>1747359
Most of the top WCW guys not being there.
and heel Austin.

>>1747646
yeah stephanie walking out was pretty much the end of wrestling for me for a decade and a half

>>1748681
Their names are probably trademarked to the comoany for the duration of their contract or something. Like right now it's not like any company could use name of John Cena in any manner without express permission of WWE despite that being his legit name.

>>1747359
>TM

Fucken hell.

This PPV did huge numbers. Biggest non-big four PPV ever.

Also had a great backstage segment where Torrie Wilson squeezed her huge tits.

>>1747359
No Sting, Goldberg, nWo, Triple H, Shawn Michaels. The Alliance basically just got burried at every opportunity and was led by fucking WWF wrestlers. The Invasion was b-listers from both companies in a feud.

>>1748558
Bret wanted nothing to do with WWF(or wrestling really) at that point as it was only a few years removed from Owen dying and taking the kick from Goldberg which led to his stroke. Bret's career ended in Montreal.

>>1750681
He was milking his insurance and ''couldn't'' wrestle, like Rick Rude before him.
