9. Simple Video Packages Detailing History Of WCW

If nothing else, World Championship Wrestling had a whirlwind history. 

Tracing lineage back to the National Wrestling Alliance, the company had genuinely been able to provide wrestling fans with something truly different to Vince McMahon and the WWF. For years, WCW was considered more wrestling-centric than the 'Sports Entertainment' that viewers could witness in McMahon land. 

Of course, that idea had softened as the years progressed. By 2001, WCW was closer to being a low-rent alternative to the WWF, even though the promotion still housed major stars who were instantly recognisable. Knowing he now owned the company, Vince should have been looking to preserve what aura WCW had left, talking up the history of the organisation and making it appeal to the loyalty of those who had watched it longest.

There was a short (very short) video package on the final Nitro, but it wasn't enough. WCW deserved much more than that, and McMahon should have ensured there was much more of an emphasis on exploring WCW's history. Then, the WWF could have capitalised on that tradition for use in the 'Invasion'.
