They could have added a stip to a PPVevent where if the Alliance won they would hold ownership of smackdown (WCW Smackdown). Then you could do the brand split a bit sooner, have some people jump to WCW and hold off for a stronger invasion next year.

That terrible branding. That's what everyone suggested, hell I probably suggested that on here in 2001. But it was a bad idea. Thankfully Vince had the foresight to see the importance in keeping his shows branding in tact. It's not just a flip of a switch to change SD to "WCW SD" only to change it back in 18 months. And then do you have a tour under the WCW banner? Is WWF coming to town? Oh its "WCW", they are shit, no thanks.

If you build a good product on TV then people will want to see WCW Smackdown. Put Hogan as a headliner of the show and people will want to go to the house show. Have Rock be "drafted" to WCW, people will show up to watch the Rock.

Might have been a possible idea had the WCW tryout match involving Buff Bagwell and Booker T not bombed badly a few weeks into the early Invasion period.

Ended up both killing the original plans for the brand split and the Invasion itself once Vince panicked. The original plans had WCW coming out well enough from the Invasion to setup the brand split era and their control of Smackdown. RAW still stays as the flagship show but Smackdown gets treated a lot better than just as an afterthought it was during most of that era.
