You Know, watching the Invasion Era wasn't that Bad

[Loose Cannon]

Yea, looking back, I think if it wasn't about WWF vs WCW/ECW and you just look at the feuds without that background, there were some great feuds. Getting back to the stuff:

Austin vs Angle

Dam, Angle was so over as a babyface here. The crowd was really into him vs Austin. The milk truck thing was hillarious, the time where Angle tied Austin up and pretended he was going to throw him in the river, but pushed him in a kididie pool was LMAO. I really have no clue why they turned him heel. My guess was to make Rock top face, but I think Angle was just so dam over, that they killed him turning heel.


RVD and Austin

My god, watching this last night just made me sick. Danny mentioned it up there already. But here we are in San Antonio Texas, Austin's home state, and the crowd was going ape shit for RVD standing up to Austin. I don't think I've heard that loud a chant against Austin in Texas before.

I guess this was when RVD was late to the interview. Not sure cause I didn't tape the Beg. But Austin goes "I don't like you." Then RVD grabs the mic and says "I don't like you eathier." CROWD JUST POPPED HUGE. The crowd was waiting to explode for RVD to hit Austin, but instead Austin hugged him and nothing.


Austin Celebration/Taz

This was classic. Just seeing all the Alliance signing in ring was hillarious. Austin's face through this was great as he was smiling and singing too. Then he thanks everyone and says it's great to see everyone with a WCW/ECW/Austin T-shirt on.

Then he sees Taz has his own shirt on and Once Again the crowd starts popping for Taz. Austin started doing the WHAT thing here. Crowd wanted Taz to hit him, but it never happened as Angle came out.

Then a few weeks later, when it seemed Taz had turned babyface, he joined Austin again by putting the Tazmission on Angle.


I'll have some more fav's of mine later.

Not to be insensitve but if you look back at that time, 9/11 was handed to them on a silver platter. How they didn't make Angle one of the all time great babyfaces during that time period is beyond my comprehension.

But yeah, it was a great program.

Yea, I know. Saw the heel turn segment again before and it was like the air was pulled out of everyone when that happened. It was so counter productive.

Anyway, after completing all my footage, I think these 5 guys were the guys that could of been semi-major - major superstars for the company. In order

5)Kanyon
4)Rhyno
3) Taz
2) Booker T
1) RVD

DDP would be #6
