The Invasion was awful

I imagine like the majority of WWF fans in 2001 I had barely watched WCW ever

I didnt know who any of these guys were - DDP, who? The guys I did know - Sting, Hogan, NWO - they werent there

So we got a bunch of midcarders who were never promoted in anyway appear - why would we have cared about them? From day one WCW = Jobber, so u started out not caring about them and by the end u actually wanted them buried

I remember being horrified when they turned the last hour of RAW over to NITRO - I couldnt believe it, why were they wasting time on this inferior product?

Then we had WCW fighting for ''control'' - but it was never explained how they could possibly get it, or what they'd do if they had it!

Feud was just pointless - why the hell did it matter if Booker T or the Rock held the WCW title?

Then they must have realised the whole thing was a mess so they started unifying titles - which only made things worse, every WCW title vanished (conveniently)

It was a total mess from start to finish - Vince had no real idea what to do and certainly wasnt intrested in WCW stars, the Invasion angle seemed more like a transitional period while WWF re-adjusted - a period that ended with WWE

The fued was bad - and with it ending with Ric Flair and WWE it has to be the most depressing chapter i can remember
