Whats your point? If his ego hadnt gotten in the way the Invasion angle could have been the greatest wrestling feud ever but no, all WCW guys aside from the ones who had already jumped ship a few years earlier were made to look like jobbers, theres been plenty of times when Vinces ego has made him make bad business and creative decisions
You're still banging on about this? I had this one out with you last year. It had nothing to do with Vince's ego, Vince got who he could get for that invasion angle who weren't sitting out contracts. Hogan was working for XWF, Nash and Hall were still under contract until 2002 being paid to do jack sh*t (something you'd do yourself in the same situation). Same for Goldberg.
The only WCW guys who were made to look like jobbers, were Lance Storm because he was a boring bastard, and Kronik because they were bloody terrible and had a disasterous match with Undertaker and Kane on PPV.
F*ck all to do with Vince's ego pal, but ignorance is bliss, i guess.
VR!
Edit - one more thing, You never mentioned the ECW side of the Invasion angle, i guess Vince's ego ruined that too. Nothing to do with the fact that the ECW guys were fairly talentless to begin with and that the Invasion angle was an abortion from day one and was done far too early.0 -

Chris Kanyon and Dallas Page were also left looking like complete tools, following their cage match with Taker/Kane, Mike Awesome was wasted, Booker T was clearly made to look inferior to The Rock, despite being their best shot at being a legitimate main eventer, and in general, they weren't taken seriously as threats.
Kanyon was bloody awful to begin with! DDP, much as i liked him then, he really only got over by being good friends with Bischoff in WCW, and Awesome had already been wasted in WCW prior to joining WWE, And there's no way you can blame Vince for "That 70's guy"! And Booker was nowhere near main event level at that stage. They weren't taken seriously as threats because they uh, weren't actually threats.At Summerslam, the Invasion side was almost completely quashed... as the WWE were clearly portrayed as vastly superior.
And rightfully so because most of the WCW guys weren't exactly main eventers in WCW to begin with, Would you have had Angle or Austin job to DDP, Kanyon or Storm back in 2001? And why?By October, the hottest storyline going was the rivalry between Jericho and the Rock, two WWE guys!
To be fair, Jericho was only in WWE a little over two years at that point, two years less than the time he had spent in WCW, i'd have called Jericho more of a WCW guy at that timeBut yeah, obviously it wasn't all creative's fault, it would have helped immensely if they had access to the biggest stars.. from both sides.
My point exactly, Vince's ego didn't kill the Invasion storyline, lousy storylines being one (Steph running ECW? c'mon!), and a severe lack of star power on the WCW/ECW side were probably two of the biggest contributors of that, throw in the fact that it was far too soon to use it as a storyline. It didn't stand a chance.

Pity it does not have more of his early Mexican and Japanese stuff there. Might be a decent buy all the same.
What I am more interested in is his tribute night but cannot find it on region 0 or 2.Once in a lifetime a performer comes along who touches the hearts of MILLIONS worldwide. Eddie Guerrero was one of thos performers. Decimating the "glass ceiling" which had held back dozens of other talented Hispanic and light heavyweight wrestlers - Eddie became one of the most beloved wrestling champions of all time before his unexpected death in 2005. On one special night, the biggest names in Mexican wrestling joined with Eddie's legendary family to pay tribute to a true superstar who was taken before his time.

That's Vive Guerrero, i know i had a copy of that floating somewhere as i got that bundle in with a trade about 2 years ago. I never watched it.
gimmick, you should do a google search for a remote control hack for your DVD player, nearly every player can be made region free these days.
