I think Hammy hit the nail on the head. It should of been a 3 way thing. First Bischoff (maybe with shane too) leading the WCW invasion saying they want to win their company back from Vince as they don't want to work for him.... then just when that got stale.... announce that Vince has bought out ECW (without Heyman's knowledge) so ECW enters the fray looking for the same thing.

Initaillay ECW & WCW want to the same thing so have a mini alliance (to help with the numbers) but then Vince sees whats happening and states that only one of WCW or ECW will get their show back, but only if they can defeat "The Greatest Power In Wrestling" WWE.

If WCW had guys like Flair, Hogan, DDP, Sting, Booker T, Goldberg, Outsiders, Eddie, Rey, Billy Kidman & He who we do not speak.

vs ECW with the likes of Rhino, RVD, Tajiri, Jerry Lynn, Dreamer, Mick Foley, Taz, Sabu, Raven, Sandman, Mike Awesome, Kid Kash, Impact Players & The Dudleys

and then you had WWE with Austin, Rock, DX, Bros of Destruction, Jericho, Angle, Edge & The Hardys

Over a sustained period of time Vince could hang the "you'll get your show back" over everyone and you could deal with all the internal issues of each team i.e. Austin hating Vince but having to work together for WWE or Rhino & RVD rivalry or Goldberg vs Old nWo.

Seeing as Vince had all the old shows he could come out and use the footage to try and cause tension in the teams. Like he could say look when Raven tied dreamer up and beat him with a chair or Look when Hogan made Nash lie down for the pin.

You could also have some of the guys who have represented more than one brand come under scrutiny for their loyalty. Guys like Big Show, Taz, Dudleys even guys like Austin & Hogan could all be part of the mind games.

As well as all the great potential matches there would be some fantastic angles and mic work.

The more i think about it the more they definatly dropped the ball big time.

You laugh until you cry, You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe, Until their dying breath
