[QUOTE=KayfabeMan]There could have been a million things there.

I believe if WWF were smart, they would have taken DDP then. They should have took him out of his WCW contract (they did have interest in him back then as well - as did he) and brought him in for the angle. It would have been perfect. Page and Austin had a history with each other going back quite a while, and it would have been cool to let Page play off an angle where he was tired of hearing so much about Austin being the top wrestler in the world, Austin being so great, etc.. - while he was a Champion over in WCW.

Ever since the Monday Night Wars began, I had wanted to see Page vs. Austin---mainly because they had (and still have) two of the hottest finishers in wrestling. During the invasion storyline, it almost looked like the then-WWF was going in that direction. On the Smackdown! before the Invasion PPV, there was a closing segment that had DDP grabbing Debra.
