I wasn't really arguing that it was a BAD thing, simply that in one of the most shocking moves in wrestling history, all we got out of it was Flair's legacy, RVD's history and the Brand Extension. (though I didn't know they would make the cost of purchase back by backlogged PPV sales alone, thanks for that bit of news
)
And for speculation sake, since we're near the topic, what would have happened if they didn't run an "Invasion" angle. Booker, DDP, and company simply gets brought into the fold, maybe have a bit of contention between "traditional WWF guys" and the "newbies" but not have it be an all out organized assault. I always thought that would have worked better for everyone...thoughts?
