What a wonderful deal for Vince although. He brought in some nice talent (albeit no longer all of it used to be great), he got the chance to do the Invasion storyline
Ahh sure! The 'Invasion' storyline! Literally, probably the most screwed-up, botched perspective in the history of Professional Wrestling hands down! Factually correct protection of this (or any protection of it for that topic) has never and almost certainly will never appear on any WWE DVD unencumber!
At the time, seemingly it was all really easy for Vinnie Mac. The plan after the WCW buyout was once for WWFE to start out shooting new WCW TV on June ninth, 2001 somewhere in Viginia, USA (I need to say Fairfax, However being on the different facet of the arena, my wisdom of the region isn't what it may well be!)
Right from the get-go the attitude and the WCW undercard guys themselves had been being undermined by Kevin Dunn who loathes any Pro Wrestling product or performer that's not WWF/WWE. Without going too off matter, I'll simply say that Dunn was and is among the most robust other people in WWE and has been Vince McMahon's chief 'Yes' man since 1984.
Anyway, The Invasion perspective tanked for many causes together with the lack of true WCW headline skill, Guys like 'Taker who refused to agree to creative and have aggressive suits with the WCW team and as a substitute not handiest stiffed and sandbagged them within the ring, however refused to put any of them over and so on and so forth.
Goldberg will have to were introduced in to start with too. Unofficially, the explanation why Vinnie Mac did not buy out the contract is because it will have brought about unrest within the locker room signing Bill for a assured US$1M downside. However, Goldberg would have paid for his contract after just one WWF PPV appearence! Vince needed to know this but he did not bite. He and Bill played the ready game until 2003...By that time, the magic was long past.
Also, One of the one true headline WCW stars to just accept the buyout from his comfortable assured WCW/Turner contract and in the process take a massive pay-cut, Vince McMahon mega mark Diamond Dallas Page used to be senselessly massacred.
Firstly, they modified his personality, what was mistaken with him coming in and acting like DDP!? What used to be with that watered down entrance monitor!? And why was he pinned survive RAW through the Underweartakers' then Wife Sarah!?
By Mid-August 2001, the WCW Invasion had fallen flat. They just resembled yet another faction within the WWF and had been hardly "invaders". The addition of ECW and Stephanie McMahon`did nothing for the perspective.
No disrespect to guys like Raven and Rhyno, however they had been hardly threatening the WWF headline workforce prior to the transfer have been they? Austin joining allowed Austin to show heel and have one remaining hurrah, yes, however general the entire thing simply stunk. The TV scores show that.
This was once the beginning of the scores droop the WWF/E suffered that is ongoing as of late.
Anyway, there's a good deal more to this but the ones I feel are one of the main cases and the explanation why the Invasion by no means took off the way it will have to have and spawned the greatest dream-PPV ever.
