You knew Vince had no intention or seriously rebooting WCW when

To be fair, Rock did that with everybody at that time, but typically he'd have a good back and forth match with the guy he did it to or he'd outright put the guy over in the match, that didn't happen with Booker though. It's actually kind of amazing that Booker came back from most of that shyt and became as popular as he did.

that Rock promo at Booker was the main reason Sting opted not to go to the WWE too. I don't like it because we got robbed of potential dream match ups (Rock actually was hoping to work with Sting) but I can understand why Sting was like :whoa: given Vince's track record with guys who have deep NWA/WCW ties.

Like you said, the invasion coulda worked out if they'd used the players they got better. The :krs: factor was there from the sheer fact of seeing so many guys you only saw on TNT/TBS on USA/TNN now

What's the deal with the tophat though? Is it that big an issue. I understand not following an order is disrespect regardless but that still seems like some petty ass shyt.

prolly just vince and them checking his ego, like when they made dusty wear polka dots

Again, yall got bad memories. DDP came over during that time too.

Raven is another guy that was a bigger star than you guys are giving him credit for being.

The Invasion angle could have worked if WWE had simply not jobbed out the entire WCW/ECW roster.

Booker T
DDP
Raven
Rob Van Dam
Rhyno

At the time they should have been more than enough to have a solid feud, but like I said Vince was preoccupied with jobbing all of them out (The exception being RVD).
DDP was booked like shyt.

Im STILL mad at the way he was instantly jobbed out.
