I just remembered another big moment that WWE royally fucked up immediately after it happened. When Undertaker's wife had a stalker and they kept airing the stalker segments week after week to build it up... and then... the stalker comes to the ring and removes his mask! It's DDP!!! HUGE MARK OUT MOMENT!!!!!!

I wasn't the biggest DDP fan but I saw this as something huge. They could have made this a great feud but instead they had DDP job to Taker and Kane several times in a variety of matches, completely burying DDP and killing off the creepy stalker gimmick they had started out so strongly with. Don't get me wrong... I'm a MUCH bigger Undertaker and Kane fan than I ever was of DDP but there's no way in hell they should have brought DDP in, done that much build up, and then had him fucking jobbing to Taker and Kane endlessly. I think the biggest "blow" DDP was ever allowed to land against them was when he gave Taker's wife the diamond cutter. The rest was pretty much DDP being destroyed week after week.

It's kind of how they really fucked up what COULD have been an interesting clash between The Rock and Booker T. For those who know the similarities there and how Booker T even was calling himself "The Peoples Champion" for a while in WCW, this match could have been huge. Booker T and Rock finally in the same company! What did they do instead? They had Rock ask Booker "who in the blue hell are you?" and proceed to bury him endlessly.

So basically WWE showed us that Booker T and DDP suck and are in NO WAY even a slight match for somebody WWE-grown like Rock or Taker. I think the "invasion" days could have been a lot better if they didn't have such a hard on for making WCW grown talent look weaker and more pathetic as they came through the door against the WWE-grown talent. Booker and DDP should have been the head of the invasion, but instead didn't they make Steve Austin and Kurt Angle the head of the invasion? Wow... two of their own home-grown guys leading the invasion side. I don't think they could have made it more clear that they wanted to humiliate and humble even the MEMORY some people had of WCW being better. It wasn't enough that WWE had bought them out... now they had to enforce that all of the WCW talent was inferior. Guys like Sting, Goldberg, etc... are so lucky they weren't a part of that. They would have had Sting jobbing to somebody like Billy Gun or something. Goldberg would have been brought in to lose to Steve Austin 40 times in a row.

Even as somebody who always preferred WWE over WCW, I felt robbed by how shitty they painted the WCW invasion and how inferior they made them all look.
