That can't be the only reason? Bischoff and DDP were tight maybe thats why too. Maybe some bad blood with Vince from the past, no reason why DDP shouldnt of been better star.

That's really the only thing that I've heard over the years. I would put him being friends with Bischoff up there, but there was another guy who was close to Bischoff named Johnny Laurenitis and he eventually became WWE's director of talent so... :yeshrug: Someone had it out for DDP though.

They should have delayed the invasion. At the time the ECW trademark was tied up in bankruptcy court too, so they had to call them "The Alliance". What the fukk is the alliance? Invasion was supposed to be the biggest storyline of all time, should have given it a lot more thought but it was the beginning of Stephanie as head writer

Helms got him fired? :leon: I thought he faked an injury at a house show and had his momma call the offices to get him time off

Lance storm and just about everybody else said buff was an idiot and wore that tophat on his 1st night there when pat patterson specifically told him not to, apparently buff said something retarded like "oh pat i'm a star, people will cheer me"

Not to mention his momma is his goddamn agent, which is just..........

They need to bring back the Judy Bagwell on a porch match.

Could be a little off with this, but I vaguely remember something about Vince mentioning Buff's name during a promo and it got a cheer from the crowd, so Vince was impressed and figured Buff was a WCW dude worth pushing. It took one match to change his mind.

Yeah, terrible start to the angle. It was kinda dead from the jump.


Dudes got bad memories and trying to front like these WCW dudes weren't popular at the time. I hated Buff Bagwell but for whatever reason that dude caught on and became kind of popular. Buff Bagwell got over more than Jeff Jarrett did at any point in his career IMO.
