For years, the WWF and WCW were rivals and fans would discuss what would happen if guys like the WWF’s Undertaker faced off with WCW’s Sting, what if DX had a match with the nWo, the possibilities were endless. In 2001, Vince McMahon was able to purchase WCW when the higher ups at AOL Time Warner decided they did not want wrestling on their television networks, and so these dream matches could now be a real possibility.
Plans were put in place for a WCW invasion. This storyline would take over the WWF’s programming for nearly half a year, and when all was said and done, some fans were left scratching their heads. Many of WCW’s biggest superstars like Ric Flair, Goldberg and the nWo had lucrative contracts with WCW’s former parent company Time Warner, and many of these top stars did not make the jump over to the WWF. Instead, the bigger stars of WCW decided to collect a paycheck for sitting at home. The WWF still went ahead with the WCW invasion storyline, however they had to use somewhat “lesser” superstars. To compensate, wrestlers from ECW were also brought in to give the WCW roster a boost, and so the WCW invasion became “The Alliance” invasion.
