Matched only by the Montreal Screwjob for most over talked moment in wrestling history.
Anyway, I was watching the Monday Night Wars series on the WWE network, and they were basically bitching how the invasion sucked, because you didn't get all the really big names. No Nash, Hogan, Sting, etc.
So, one of the things they mentioned is how all those guys had guaranteed contracts from AOL Time Warner, and they chose to sit at home, because of those contracts. Then they had Paul Heyman basically say it's all their faults, for sitting at home with guaranteed contracts.
Well, gee, it's like WWE had no say in the manner. No sir, can't buy all those contracts out, that would be crazy talk.
The funny thing is, they all praise Vince for eventually swallowing his pride, and eventually bringing all these guys in later, because it was best for business.
Motherfucker. What would have been best for business would have to have bought out their contracts in the first place. Maybe if you did that, this Invasion angle wouldn't have sucked so badly. Maybe, instead of the B Squad, we could have had all the big names when it mattered.
