Shawn Staziak ruined the original Wrestlemania X7 plans

[Kidd Dibiase]

Spoiler: Dont feel like watching

He told the angle a day before in an interview and mentioned ALL 11 names that was gonna be involved and almost got them all fired

 

[NYChase718]

John Laurinitis, Hugh Morrus, Mark Jindrak, Lance Storm, Mike Awesome, Chavo Guerrero Jr, Stacy Keibler, Shawn Stasiak, Mike Sanders

 

[Da King]

The angle was trash from the jump because the "invasion" was WCW D-list

Imagine if Steiner, Flair, Hall, Nash, Goldberg, Hoegan, Stank were stupid enough to NOT sit out and collect the millions doing nothing, then we end up with the GOAT play fighting angle but it wasn't meant to be

the classics that could have been as opposed to a hogan, flair, stink

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

No wonder they all looked miserable sitting up there. Bet they all wanted to murder PerfectShawn.

 

[Kinguno]

Looking back they should have not done the invasion at all at all (Carl Thomas voice)

Yup, even tho the only one to not sit on his contract (DDP) got massively shafted by WWE. Rock v DDP was a fukkin layup, and just go listen to the reaction he got when he debuted, all killed to be a "stalker" and "positive speaker".

:_dallas::_dallas::_dallas::_dallas:

But yeah, alot of enormous stuff could have been done. You would never have to have Austin join Alliance, and he could abandon his character killing comedy heel persona. You wouldn't need to turn Angle, even though the payoff gave him a huge rub, they could have built him as the hero of the War staying on WWE's side the whole time. There wouldn't even need to be an ECW alliance because WCW would have had enough star power. Goldberg could have been this unstoppable weapon for WCW. Nash front and center as the cool mic guy for WCW would have been great to get them over with WWF fans. When Triple H returns, you have all these stars with decent buzz for him to work with.

It's sad because WWE was willing to buy out all of the contracts, but almost all of them across the board would rather sit on their huge paydays that would be no where near would they would make in WWE. So it's a "c'mon man, but can't blame ya" situation. :_danawhite:

you can thank that hoe Mark For Himself Calaway for killing DDP's WWE run, he was the only huge star out of that group, peak DDP was a popular as anyone in play fighting

No lie there.

Should have found a way to keep a separate fed

 

[R=G]

I keep forgetting they were at Mania 17

Think this would’ve been a good idea and have cross overs every so often

 

[Grifter]

Think this would’ve been a good idea and have cross overs every so often

Imagine the draft done for each company instead of shows.

 

[Heelish]

Legit one of the few wrestlers during the late 90s wrestling boom that has ZERO fans.

 

[TobiOT]

That why they had this dude look like a complete buffoon





Whooped his ass with the shades on
