John Pollock & Wai Ting review WWF Invasion from July 22, 2001, featuring a series of matches between WWF and the invading WCW-ECW Alliance.
They discuss their thoughts on what went wrong with the angle, Austin’s WMX7 heel turn and teased babyface reversion heading into this PPV, the late inclusion of ECW into the mix, stalker DDP and Sara Undertaker, Bra & Panties matches, and a deeper look into “X-Pac Heat”.
We hear an archived clip from an old interview John conducted with former commentator and WWF Head of Talent Relations, Jim Ross about his thoughts on where the Invasion angle went wrong.
This review was chosen by Espresso Executive Producer, Andrew MacDonald.
