Should've gotten Mark Madden to do commentary with Hudson for the WCW matches. Just the way he yelled "SPINAROONY!" would've probably made people more interested in this and the Booker-Bagwell match, lol.
The good days of wrestling are gone for those who refuse to accept that life continues. God, what's the point of overrating everything just because it happened "long time ago". The whole Invasion angle was crap.
@Smarkitude It had good promise but I thought they ended the angle to soon and didn't put the ECW/WCW guys over as much as they should have plus not all the ECW/WCW originals were around so guys like Stone Cold and later Angle had to go to the Alliance to boost up their side.
@alexangel3030 actually jackass, WWE did best for DDP, he was injury prone near the end of his career when he went to WWE. that's why he was brought down the card after his feud with Taker(because if he was gone, you would have cried and bitched even more)..if DDP would have been a main eventer, he would have done more damage to his body and all of a sudden retire like edge..did u ever think of that?
@JacktheDragon10 fuck off cock head you know nathing about wrestling if you think wcw sucked it was at one stage better than wwf true it lost its battle but it was great and epic
man I love 90's earily 2000's wrestling it was so exciting the matchs felt realer and the storys were always back to back the commintary made it even better i just wanna say I like the old school
Booker got no pop, no pop at all, and he was the WCW champion. Goes to show how ruthless Attitude era fans were back then against WCW, half of them had no idea who these guys were, lol.
@krazygreen What?everybody knew who they were...most wwf/wwe fans just hated them because WCW was kicking their ass in ratings before Vince bought them out? if you didn't know who was on both sides during the Monday Night Wars than your just not a true fan of professional Wrestling
@krazygreen lol How am I a mark for a company that no longer exist ? i watched Both ... but WCW was beating WWE in The ratings before they were bought out...you Don't know what a mark is...if anyone was a mark it would be you considering the comment you made is so one sided ..I liked Both ..
@FireKracker44 Scott Hudson and Arn Anderson. Scott was an announcer for WCW and Arn Anderson is a wrestling hall of famer member of the original 4 horsemen. I guess you are not a real wrestling fan.
hahahaha.....just because i know nothing about WCW? I got into wrestling during the alliance saga in WWF. scott Hudson I've never heard of, and Anderson I didn't know he ever announced, so excuse me for not knowing that little tidbit of information right there.
I was interested in WCW and I got the Monday Night Wars DVD years ago. Strictly speaking as a generic rule, Pre-90's doesn't interest me as much as say, the attitude era. WCW is OK, i lost some interest after finding out David Arquette became world champion....need i say more?
In other words, I know some from WCW because I am interested in it. But Pre-90's in ANY wrestling promotion I don't have as much interest in....much like this Cena-Era. Just a personal thing. I can appreciate and respect it, (and I DO know who AA is) but the 80's was so much different.
One thing I'll admit I know 0% about at all is this - Video for example....I can't find any more info online about WCW becoming its own brand on Smackdown...this is intriguing.
@thedocumentarian Oh you're so cool, I wish I was just like you, the biggest most hardcore wrestling fan of them all! I bet you get all the ladies when they find out about your most excellent fanship.
@FireKracker44 WCW back then would have a segement on both RAW and Smackdown! i liked it when i was young because it showed that vince was trying to give WCW a chance to start new under a new company but it didn't work back then as he thought. In soon to be 2011 with the hall of fame coming up and his plan to be a wcw event from what i heard it would be great to be bring back wcw with its own brand
i remember when the invasion happend it was really weird seeing wCw wrestlers in wwf made wrestling a hole lot more surprising back then didnt own a computer back then so everything that happend shocked me
Hearing Scott Hudson announce this match gave us a little glimpse of the real WCW. Kudos to Michael Cole and Taz for stepping aside for Scott and Arn that night.
DDP's heel stalker gimmick was an EPIC FAIL. The WWF should have let him be a face, with his WCW face gimmick, instead of being placed in a lame feud with the Undertaker, when DDP would stalk 'Taker's wife, Sara.
@DDowdy87 Yes, but to be fair, if WCW had bought WWF and showcased WWF matches on Nitro or Thunder, the WCW fanboys would've booed Austin VS. Triple H.
IT's a shame this wasn't successful. From what I read, WWF originally wanted to have the RAW brand have all WWF matches and replace the Smackdown brand with a "WCW" brand. It would've been interesting.
REALLY? I've never heard of this. Was this before the invasion survivor series part? I thought that was the extent they did with it. Just bringin' em in for the WWF vs WCW Survivor series.
Also, look at what WWE did with ECW brand...they would have ruined WCW too...oh wait, they didn't need to...Arquette winning the title did that already.
@matt4lyfe That would've made the Invasion angle SO much better if Smackdown had become the Alliance show. It would've made them seem like much more of a threat to the WWF than as just a stable.
@matt4lyfe Well if you think about it, Around the second half of 2005, Smackdown kinda DID become sort of an re-incarnate of WCW. It had the World, U.S., and Cruiserweight Titles, and had guys like Benoit, Mysterio, the Guerreros, and Booker T at the time. XP
