Who was the leader of the WCW/ECW Alliance? Steve Austin, the man who absolutely defined WWF. Who were the new owners of the dangerous factions? Vince McMahon's kids. The only major victories I can remember the Alliance getting were Rob Van Dam and Rhyno getting D-Q wins over the Rock when everyone started interfering. Top it all off with the fact that only two years after that abomination of an angle had finished, every single WCW star who would've made that storyline a success (except Sting) had joined up with WWE at one point or another, and you've got yourself a picture perfect example of how not to book a wrestling show.

We wanted to see it for years, but when we thought of WCW vs WWF, we thought Sting vs The Rock, Goldberg vs Austin, Flair vs Michaels... We weren't thinking Rikishi vs Shawn Stasiak!
