WWF Invasion 2001 Promo

[AVFCsi02]

This was Steph McMahon at her hottest lol.

I miss the Attitude Era and the return of the Rock was so epic.

[babyhotcrush]

the only wrestle in the alliance i ever cheered for are raven and RVD!

[Kidz24]

One of the greatest storylines EVER

[DonGenerico88]

Goldberg, Sting, Ric Flair, Hogan, Scott Hall, Nash, DDP, Scoot Steiner, Konnan, Rey Mysterio needed to be part of this PPV.

[DonGenerico88]

This time was so huge in the world of Pro-Wrestling 3 of the biggest companies in the USA in one BIG feud. Fun times.

[TheMack1987]

back where wrestling was good

[ezekialjackson1]

These were the golden days of wwe. Attitude Era 4 live.

[dalesm]

You know what I need? You know who I need? I NEED THE OLD STONE COLD!!!

[zoneali101]

The attitude era will never come back that's a era that's gone. The closes thing we're going to get to the wildness of this will be a revamped ruthless aggression era which is what I think their planning on doing this year

[semajenahs314]

who are they attacking at 4:30?

[SRPC21]

@semajenahs314 The Undertaker

[darulm]

My top fave storyline from the wwe i was only 14 then.damn

[fonzychannel19]

Hxdjrjejejehxhriridhdhehrjfjrj­rjehrkfjdjdjdhhehhdhehhxjsjjde­

[wwex2j57]

Invasion 2012 Tna vs Wwe

[thegamexxx1234]

music at 3:54? anybody know?

[DonGenerico88]

@thegamexxx1234 I always hum that song. And when I watched this I realized it was from this promo.

[Dimitri0809]

WWF have better wrestlers imo, wwf has always had the better wrestlers alot of people tell me that wcw is better but wwf always had the better wrestlers, wwf also introduced the attitide era first so.. it still beats wcw.

[W3Kill2Thrill]

The Invasion was great, but imagine if Sting, and someone like Goldberg joined WCW/ECW team, That'de be insane.

[3737jak]

where was hhh at this time, was he out with his torn quad?

[neptuneniq]

@3737jak yehp. he torn his quad when he formed an alliance with Austin right after wrestlemania 17

[aaaaaagg2a]

@neptuneniq

No he didn't. The Invasion didn't even begin until like 3 months after Wrestlemania X-Seven.

[3737jak]

why did stephanie always yell into the microphone

[Theawesome1rumiz]

raw > wcw nitro¨

smackdown > wcw thunder

[imakickass]

This storyline was the shits but good match

[hockeyplaya0021]

No goldberg, sting, flair....disappointment

[StInG268]

One of the only fuck ups over the story was having Steph 'own' ECW you know right then the alliance was screwed...(she hated ECW)

[3737jak]

am i the only one that got a boner when stepanie said dirty....

[bublez411]

shock, austin at a bar drinking.

BEST PROMO EVER!

[DenGual10]

team wwf was stacked, the alliance team was terrible

[Squirrelloverfan3]

One day hopefully the Attitude Era comes back

[ezekialjackson1]

@Squirrelloverfan3 I miss it

[Mattinho7]

@Squirrelloverfan3 I doubt it will, i think the attitude era came about because of the competition from WCW. Soon as WCW was bought out they had no competition so they could dial it down sadly.... This was the golden age!

[letsgetbanging69]

@Mattinho7 lets hope TNA sends something then we'll get them to!

[Mattinho7]

@letsgetbanging69 Would be nice to see Mr. Anderson/Kennedy back. He was so fuckin under-used in WWE.

[letsgetbanging69]

@Mattinho7 yer ns he coulda been world champ!

[thegoodboysize1]

@Squirrelloverfan3

The Attitude Era was unique it just couldn't happen again.

[3737jak]

@Squirrelloverfan3 every monday night i pray that it will be that day...hopefully this shit happens soon

[HolldtheyToungue]

@3737jak Once wwe has its own network I assure you it will be alot better with cursing,blood,etc etc.....

[AttitudeEra4life459]

@Squirrelloverfan3

This was post Attitude Era, but I agree. I hope so too.

[XshadowkageX]

FEEL THIS MOMENT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!

[sergiohalaby]

I just feel bad for everyone who didn't experience that era....

[RuvaDoll]

@sergiohalaby i was only 4 when this was going on, seems like i missed out,huh? :(

[XshadowkageX]

This was a once in a lifetime era after this there was no one else. All the best gathered together into one wwf.

[thebest82able]

DEAT TO DA W W EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[1010GingerNinja]

@thebest82able ??????

[ItsDefOver9000]

ATTITUDE ERA - This was the peak of pro wrestling.

When it was the most entertaining, thrilling thing on TV bar none.

It'll never get better than that.

Now its been downhill ever since, to the point where its pathetic to even watch anymore.

[Srky6P]

I've found out about Atittude era on youtube and still everything from WWF gives me chills...

[ricekrispyplayer]

if you think about it ecw/wcw could of beat the wwf if it wasnt a storyline. they had goldberg big show sting and a bunch of others

[liljeromebettis]

I miss the attitude era

[rayjay5002]

What if shane mcmahon bought TNA? That would kick ass

[chinanl02]

the best days of being a Wrestling fan.........i will never forgett that day, Shane went on live on raw from the WCW arena and said, I OWN IT....

i never thought i would see WCW guys in WWF shows, fighting each other...it was the best months of wrestling, after the Attitude Era...i grew up and still am a Loyal WWF guy, some of those WCW guys, i had no idea who they where..

i think this feud would of been better, if the TOP wcw guys were to Participate in the storyline ex Sting, nWo, Goldberg

[NissanGTR07]

Best promo ever.^^

[kewa86]

OMG I miss the old WWF - I think CM Punk has a point, we need the old wrestling back,

[Nolanfan2001]

The Invasion angle is the Star Wars Episode 1of pro wrestling

[alfiecaygill]

@hammett89 Same here mate, reliving the good old days, i get shill watching this still 10 years later

[masterplans1]

you know what i just remember about this, where was hhh, mankind, and some other people i notice not every body was in the invasion

[kingmula2]

epic promo

[3737jak]

i wanna cry because i kno it will never be the same again

[sikokiller12]

for the past 10 years this promo has gave me goosebumps...

[aaaaaagg2a]

The only Alliance members cheered during the Invasion storyline were Rob Van Dam, Torrie Wilson and Stacy Kiebler.

[CactusG26]

@aaaaaagg2a wrong... there was another one... Shane Helms was also cheered because X-Pack was booed out of the damn building in their match for the Light heavyweight tile...

[aaaaaagg2a]

@CactusG26

No you idiot. I mean the only faces in the alliance. Im not just talking about one or two matches. Im talking about every night.

[SRPC21]

@aaaaaagg2a Kidman got a few cheers. It's a shame Torrie defected to the wwf which made the already bleak wcw cast even weaker.

I think even Vince knows this was a wasted opportunity. It would be done so differently now

[ReaperEmpireProphecy]

@RawisCain

ROH is better than TNA.

[DUBtheTIGER]

@ReaperEmpireProphecy Thannnnnk you! Fuck TNA!

[ReaperEmpireProphecy]

@DUBtheTIGER WWE kicks TNA's ass even with a PG rated show. What an embarrassment that is.. And ROH has REAL competitors & some of the best future talents in the WWE like Cm Punk, Sin Cara1 and Sin Cara 2 and Daniel Bryan..

TNA can suck it!

[DUBtheTIGER]

@ReaperEmpireProphecy Idk THAT much about ROH but Im impressed so far. Its funny, EVERY TNA mark has the same "arguement", saying Im 12 yrs old. Wrestling DOES matter, TNA doesnt. The young guys try WAY too hard to do "innovative" moves (wwe too, see John Morrison)...all flash, no bang ya kno? None of it is believable. Not that it matters, they only push guys like Sting and the worst excuse for a champion ever Jeff Jarrett. How about Arquette while ur at it TNA! In 5 yrs theyll be gone. WWE wins

[DUBtheTIGER]

@ReaperEmpireProphecy I almost forgot to insult the aweful stolen/recyled gimmicks and storylines. Abyss? you mean Kane-Kind? MEM/immortal? nWo rips. Fourtune? insult to the Horsemen legacy. Anything w. Jeff Jarret? TRASH. No wonder Sting thinks he still matters. And thx for ruining Kurt Angle TNA! He was awesome in WWE

Theres a reason the iMPACT zone is free admission, no one will pay for that shit! PPV buyrates? Merch sales? Non-existant. THIS is the company thats gonna run vince down? LMAO

[ReaperEmpireProphecy]

@DUBtheTIGER You forgot about the pathetic "Montreal screwjob" storyline ripoff that TNA did, Or more like a parody. Sadly Kurt Angle renewed his TNA contract which was suppose to expire last month. I don't blame WWE for listing Kurt Angle as #33 as one of their greatest wrestlers of all time (even though he should be in the top 10). He isn't making any "impact" if you know what I mean. Vince will continue ignoring them, No treat and the reason for the same ripoff storyline is Vince Russo.

[DUBtheTIGER]

@ReaperEmpireProphecy LMAO! We could do this alllll day my friend =). TNA marks are just desperate for something thats not WWE but TNA is such a poor substitute. I agree about Kurt too. He coulda came back, been funny yet intense again, and hell he'd probably have the belt within 2 months. If I was Vince I'd do the same. I don't quite agree with that list but who does? Still, I wouldn't back ANYONE who jumped ship. HBK, Taker, are WWE 4 Lyfers.

Cant say this enough tho... FUCK JEFF JARRETT!!!

[ReaperEmpireProphecy]

@DUBtheTIGER TNA is a WWF/WCW wannabe show that doesn't have any originality in storylines. And tell me what's Sting nowadays? Joker? If he's joker than maybe he needs a sidekick to go with his gimmick.. Maybe Abysss (Bane) However Sting was a childhood hero of mine lol!! Sting trying to act young and act like he's Edge. jeff jarrett's still crapping on Chyna like what he was doing with WWF. ECW invaded TNA, They can't use that name so they had to change it because WWE owns ECW since vince bough

[DUBtheTIGER]

@ReaperEmpireProphecy Next thing ya kno Abyss is gonna come out with Paul Bearer and start saying Have A Nice Day.

And if you havent figured it out my most hated of ALL TIME is.....*drumroll*.... you guessed it, Jeff Jarrett. This loser actually had to start his own promotion just to create the illusion he could ever be a champion

The IC belt NOW >>>>>>TNA championship at any moment in history

[ReaperEmpireProphecy]

@DUBtheTIGER Not to mention that Monday night wars that never happened when Hogan & Bishop sign to TNA. They lost !!!

[DUBtheTIGER]

@ReaperEmpireProphecy TNA vs WWE is MNWs is kinda like having Sting beat Jeff Hardy in a PPV main-event in 90 seconds, then having Hardy no-sell his finisher. Now where did I see that? Hmmm

Wow the more I think about it, I'm really proud of that analogy.

Sting was caught in his lie about being worried about WWE protecting his character the second he took on that stupid fucking gimmick. I was a Sting fan too but he's officially succeded in burying himself. Hogan turning face?!? OMG!!! =/

[masterplans1]

well we did asked for the old stone cold who was opposing vince and the wwf during the attitude era

[TheNo1gamer123]

ston cold is leading team WWF what happens in the match? he joins the alliance

[Dante3210]

Vinc McMahon: "I need the old Stone Cold!"

Stone Cold: "I'm from Winnipeg you idiot!"

[jot20]

What's the name of the song played at the end (when stone cold came out)

[HitmanEF]

They should release a dvd of this whole storyline

[MrAlvin714]

stone cold, rock, hhh, angle, undertaker vs Goldberg, hogan, sting, nash, booker t wouldve been EPIC!!!

[rnjblast773]

@MrAlvin714 yeah, the only problems were, nash, sting, hogan, and goldberg still had million dollar contracts that they could collect by just sitting around on there asses at home and triple h was out with the first of 2 or 3 quad injuries.

[wraggy1234]

this is the most epic promo ever.

[nagato113]

this was epic in dat time



[AliAmato01]

i wonder what would happened if HHH wasnt injured at this time... HHH = best team leader

[86Stooy]

@AliAmato01 Triple H was to turn face and face Austin for the title at Summerslam until he got injured

[AliAmato01]

@86Stooy Would've been AMAZING!

[blanchardstown1234]

I wudnt care if Stephanie McMahon was my sister wud bang her

[inthewakeofthebunt21]

miss these days

[LogWaft]

This era was unreal, gives me chills watching this.

[JMcauley211]

@LogWaft Chills? This is when wrestling died?Made wcw look like second rate company and fucked up the biggest angle in wrestling.

[Linklex7]

@JMcauley211 I agree with you that WWF fucked this storyline up big time, but that was after this match and ppv that they screwed it up. This is the highest grossing wrestling ppv of all time and WCW & ECW kicked WWF's ass in the main event. So they have that good memory before WCW was squashed afterwards.

[yoitsmeitsmeitsddp]

@JMcauley211 wrestling died when cena showed up

[realofficialuzumaki]

@LogWaft I KNOW RIGHT

[biggestwwefan88]

THE WORDS I THOUGHT VINCENT KENNEDY MCMAHON WOULD NEVER SAY AT THAT TIME!!! I NEED YOU AUSTIN!!

[jbw8907]

still gives me chills.. 10 years later.. one of the GREATEST promos ever.

[arcmov24]

@jbw8907 Hell Yeah !! It is indeed one of the GREATEST !! If they could only have redone last years SummerSlam promo like this !! Team WWE needed Austin not Daniel Bryan !!

[HAMMERWWE26]

@jbw8907 I cant believe people say this was bad today..the invasion was awesome

[round105]

wwe keep the name wwe but go back to this man you would go from a million dollar company to atrillion dollar company am i right fellas keep the superstars keep john cena but make him aggressive ad a heel more ratings and more money am i right fellas

[AmericanDadNow]

@round105 clearly not......

[chilangoexiliado]

this were the good old times...

[Richyung585]

man this was late 2001 to 2002 still great wrestling

[Knev]

So here we had:

Stone Cold

Kurt Angle

Undertaker

Kane

Christ Jericho

as the main faces, and now we have err..cena and orton?..ugh. christ that's depressing

[Orzbenny]

10 fuckin' years,WWF->WWE->SHIT

[LadeOnline]

he should of gotten the rock to Lead invasion.

[MrKing8050]

@LadeOnline Rock was suspended indefinitely ( in real life he took a break to film "Scorpion King), but he would be reinstated the night after this

[y2joct7]

@LadeOnline thats good but I stand by my original option. You see vince on the ppv talkin to someone in a locker room but u dont see the person. Stone Cold screws team WWF and technically wins the match for WCW/ECW. Vince comes out says "u screwed WWE, now ur screwed!" Stone Cold turns right into a spear & jack hammer from goldberg. Goldberg takes his Goldberg shirt off for WWE shirt.

[qoppot]

It was all so promising, until they botched it..........

[antsman88]

@qoppot lol yeah, only potentially the biggest angle ever

[erepnp]

thank you vince for turning stone cold back to face again hahahaha

[ThuqqNaStY2k11]

@erepnp he didnt turn face ..

[FCRaiders21]

they got freaking classy freddie blassie ofc wwf wins.

[AronHallan]

all i can say is "WWF"

[dmannouch]

This was broadcast on channel 4.. channel 4 would get royal rumble, backlash, fully loaded, armageddon, the invasion and of course the epicness that was sunday night heat!!

[Bazzer239]

@dmannouch Awww stop. Was it 5 or 6pm on a Sunday?! Those nights were epic leading up to a PPV like the Rumble, Backlash or Armageddon. Classic nights :-D

[TheMediaResistance]

Best WWE DAys

[Nacturl]

"I need the old WWF!"

[TimsVideos17]

I remember staying up to watch this on Channel 4, back in the days when WWF pay-per-views were free in the UK!

[DanCMoran]

@TimsVideos17 eh channel 4? dont ya mean sky sports? and they are still free apart from the ones shown on sky box office but i watch em online for free lol

[TimsVideos17]

@DanCMoran I think they used to alternate between Sky Sports and Channel 4 from month to month, but then Channel 4 dropped WWF shows sometime in 2001. We never had Sky Sports when I was growing up, so I could only watch PPVs when they were on Channel 4.

[MRcheese992]

WWE needs another story like this... TNA? ;)

[SuperMac2007]

This match made sense. It was actually ECW and WCW guys vs WWF guys. Why it couldn't happen like that at Survivor Series is beyond me...

[ridore9]

they made the old promos like mini movies

[shaun0103]

im not a person who complains all the time about how wwf was so much better then todays wwe, i like it non the less

but i really do miss epic promos like this, honestly the last good promo i saw was orton vs cena iron man match, or HBK vs taker

[MultiMasterflash]

The "Invasion" storyline was good but it would've been great if wwe just made it a little bit longer though

Damn.

[DJBlack909]

I miss the old Kurt Angle. They should have never made Angle shave his head.

[ELNENE000222]

NOW THATS A PROMO!!!

[stoffalicious]

3:44 MOPPY!

[Vallence999]

I miss WCW so much. That was MY fav brand

[dooom560]

Too bad WWF dropped the ball with this whole invasion angle. It could have been something historic.

[spadedaces]

@dooom560 no trolling, a very interesting point what did you have in mind?

[nriab23]

lol Rhyno was the best they could get for the other team? and the Dudley Boys pshh

[Richyung585]

yea i stopped watching after like 03 this was fire tho maybe 1 of the last great promos or rock vs hogan was good 2

[4Fist2Ax3Handles]

Awesome classic WWF promo

[morecowbell423]

Where was DX

[puertoricanguy999]

One thing I forgot to say, the PPV location of WWE Invasion Part 2 would be in the MSG arena in New York. Send me a reply on what you think about this.

[puertoricanguy999]

Matches I would love to see if there was another Invasion:John Cena vs. AJ Styles, Jack Swagger vs. Kurt Angle, R-Truth vs. The Pope, The Undertaker vs. Sting, Kane vs. Abyss, Ezekiel Jackson vs. "The Freak" Rob Terry, Layla vs. Mickie James, Sin Cara vs. Suicide, The Corre vs. Fortune, The "New" Nexus vs. Immortal, Randy Orton vs. Matt Morgan, Rey Mysterio vs. Hernandez, and, Mr. McMahon vs. Hulk Hogan(In a Last Man Standing match; If Hogan loses WWE buys TNA as a another roster).

[manlykscorpa]

@puertoricanguy999 and then kill it and turn it PG

[puertoricanguy999]

Anyone from the internet, who wants another INVASION? WWE vs. TNA. TNA sucks more than Justin Bieber. We just got to wait in a few years. When the PG-Era completely ends. I would love to see John Cena vs. AJ Styles, Jack Swagger vs. Kurt Angle, R-Truth vs. The Pope, The Undertaker vs. Sting, Kane vs. Abyss, and so much more. Send me a reply on what you think.

[puertoricanguy999]

This is good stuff. Now if only story could be repeating itself. I would love a second INVASION. WWE invading TNA (or TNA invading WWE). Non of that PG-Era bull crap.

WWE is no place for kids. Just for teenagers,like me,young adults, and adults.

[Skars4Lyfe]

Ar first, I thought this storyline was kinda wack but looking back at it, it was classic shit, fuck the PG-Era!

[mat2000100]

4:45

2001: Death to the WWF (world wrestling entertainment)

2011: Death to the WWF (world wildlife fund)

[DarkReapersGrim]

@mat2000100 What the hell are you talking about, World Wildlife Fund is still going.

[mat2000100]

@DarkReapersGrim u probably want to crush it (cause they made the wwf become wwe) just like how wcw wanted to crush wwe.

[DarkReapersGrim]

@mat2000100 Yea, back when I watched wrestling I was was kind of mad because they had to change their logo and all I knew was "WWF," but now that I've grown up over the years and am into the environment, I'm glad that the World Wildlife Fund has the name.

[nhthuan921]

i miss wwf

[finarrykahn13]

anyone else get chills from 1:46 to 2:06

[3737jak]

@finarrykahn13 it makes me sad knowing its all over

[3737jak]

@finarrykahn13 ive watched it over 20 times and it always does!

[Fatlancer8]

wrestling needs a promo like this with TNA

[jamille5150]

@Fatlancer8 but WWE Will Kill TNA Like it did WCW besides the alliance was full of WWE guys in Austin & Angle and countless others who never wrestled in WCW Or ECW

[acerza89]

this was the peak of wrestling, then it went downhill from there,

o thins is the best memories from a kid growing in suburban north London in 2001-02

[Aceofspades801]

@acerza89 why exactly ?i kinda wonder why people say this ?

[AJ36sXe]

As cool as this storyline seems at the time, it failed. It was booked horribly, it was far to predictible that the WWF would win, the Alliance only seemed like a threat at the very beginning and at the very end, and most of the Alliance members who were top stars in WCW or ECW were buried.

[jamille5150]

@AJ36sXe thats the point i mean WWE wanted Goldberg Mysterio and others but those were under time warner so those guys were still getting paid vince got ppl who were under contract to WCW for the alliance it was cool but it could have been much better booked like giving WCW/ECW its own show kinda like how wwe had WCW matches on Raw & SD

[AJ36sXe]

@jamille5150 The should've had The Alliance take over SD and rename it, then it would've seemed more realistic. They should've used DDP and a few others better also.

[braigus09]

Stephanie Mcmahon > Vickie guerrero

[rhynokav]

ignore the names, wcw and ecw and this is one of the best story lines wwe/f has ever produced. but think about, more so wcw, and it is one of the worst

[unknownborg]

whats the epic song at the end of the promo called?

[MrLMFA00]

@unknownborg wwe promo theme - adrenaline

[TheNutta45]

Booker T Goldberg Sting RVD Sabu VS Undertaker Kurt Angle Shawn Michaels The Rock Stone Cold Injuries/contracts aside that would of been a fucking quality match in 2001.

[Exfire27]

yeah its fake but the story is so cool and exciting unlike wrestling nowadays

[cliffo1878]

Steph and Shane should have had no-part in this storyline whats so ever

[jhardyrules13]

@cliffo1878 Are you kidding? They played their parts perfectly!
