-Buff Bagwell vs. Booker T on "WCW RAW". I remember WCW got the second half of the show. They changed the ring apron, and they even had the WCW logo at the bottom corner of the TV screen

-The Undertaker and Kane vs. Kronik. Also I think they faced DDP and Kanyon in a steel cage match for the WCW Tag Team Championships. Or was it a unification thing. God only knows

-Originally Booker T played the face against Austin (King of The Ring)

I remember Taker (or Kane) lifted up Kanyon up in a powerbomb, slammed him into the side of the cage, and his head hit a pole making a loud noise.

I remember the WCW guys all suddenly becoming heels for no good reason at all. Diamond Dallas Page revealed himself as The Undertaker's stalker to a great reaction from the crowd, but instead of making him sort of an anti-hero saying "Here I am, Taker!" he seemed to become more and more of a generic cowardly heel by the week.

Booker T turning heel was silly, too. Especially given how Austin was a heel WWF Champion at the time he debuted, and Booker was a face WCW Champion.

I remember Rhyno and Kanyon being pure awesome during the Invasion stuff. The "Alliance MVP" was absolutely great, and I loved his entrance music. Rhyno could have been huge if he didn't return to the WWE after his neck surgery as just another guy.

Buff Bagwell killed the Alliance before it had a chance to get off the ground.

Also, DDP jobbing to Sarah Taker... :nono:

I didn't mind DDP jobbing to Sara Callaway, to be honest. What really bothered me about it was that DDP and Kanyon were bitched at every angle. DDP should have gotten revenge against Taker, and been made to look like someone who could hang with him.

The crowd turned Booker heel after his terrible match with Buff.

DDP is the greatest ever! So so so so so so dissapointed with his WWF run.

Tazz got pretty over during the Invasion stuff. I mean, behind Rob Van Dam and Rhyno, I think he was the only Alliance guy that people cheered. A Tazzmission on Stone Cold Steve Austin would have indeed been a mark-out moment.

I remember Kanyon scoring a cheap pin on Invasion and wearing an "mvp" shirt to the ring.
