You might pull that off even at one of the other Big 4 PPVs, not Wrestlemania. The main event looked a little lacking as it was with HHH vs Jericho next to Rock vs Hogan and Austin vs Hall/Nash.
Personally I always thought that a heel Rock should have gone up against a face Jericho, coming out of the invasion angle.
Stone Cold vs Hogan would have also been opened.

As for the Outsiders, Nash couldn't wrestle. I'd like to have seen them vs HHH and HBM, if something could have been arranged. He was able to wrestle 5 months later

Would have loved monster heel Scott Steiner to have continued in 2001.

Stone Cold vs Hogan was the plan for WrestleMania x-8 as soon as Hogan signed. Austin nixed it (and was probably given a midcard match with Hall, the least valuable member of the nWo, as a punishment).

Also, Nash was fine to wrestle, they just didn't book him to.

The third factor is made a more bitter pill to swallow by the fact that when the Invasion angle was dead and buried, Vince proceeded to dip his hand in his pockets and bring in ALL the guys who would have made the angle white hot... Hogan, Bischoff, Hall, Nash, Flair, Steiner, Goldberg... squandered opportunity yes, but don't let that big disappointment detract from some of the great moments the Invasion angle did manage to muster up, plus hark back to a time in late 2001 when Rob Van Dam was the most over guy in the company, the Paranoid Rattlesnake's "What?" gimmick had yet to grow annoying, Vince/Austin/Angle were gold and great matches were taking place left, right and centre.
I agree that the Austin/Angle matches were fucking awesome.
As much as I disliked Austin's heel turn at the time, I still cheered for him.
I thought it was hilarious, but a little lame when Angle drove in the milk truck and sprayed everyone in the ring down. It was just a reminder that Austin was like that at one time. Hahaha.

I was actually in attendance when Austin beat Angle for his final WWE Championship on Raw.
Everyone in the crowd was disappointed, but I felt lucky not only to see Austin win the Championship, but to see him win it on Raw. Shit like that doesn't happen anymore.

And this was all near the end of the Invasion angle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't it end at the 2001 Survivor Series? I think they had a big WWF vs. Alliance Traditional SS match.

Here's another thing they should have had in addition to all the things that weren't, like bringing in all the big name players for WCW and stretching it out to be more epic and evenly matched....

War Games.

They had license to all the NWA/WCW traditions and gimmicks, and tape library to promote it.
I'm not even saying they should have kept it annually. Just once.
They had a ton of WCW vs WWF brawls and giant tag matches. One in a War Games would have been epic.

Steve Austin's work in 2001 is one of the biggest reasons why I feel that he is the greatest of all-time; bar none.
