Well what they wanted to do, I believe, was first bring in a slow invasion, and use the Vince/Linda divorce angle to divide the assets in kayfabe. Then they'd have her turn Smackdown or Raw into Nitro and there'd be a war between promotions.
Personally, I think they should have just had Bischoff and a crew of 10 or 12 WCW guys invade. And I mean WCW guys, not Austin Angle and midcarders.
It shouldn't have been done until Bischoff, Goldberg, Steiner, Nash and others (ie Rey) were signed. They should have been given Big Show, and DDP and Booker T should have been more important.
This is a whole other can of worms that can be discussed but I'd rather not get into the weekly Invasion rebooking convo.
