7 Positive Things About WWE's 'Invasion' Angle

7. JR-Heyman Commentary Pairing

WWE fans were truly spoilt by the commentary pairings either side of the millennium.

The announce desk for the duration of this angle boasted the greatest play-by-play man in the history of the business, Jim Ross, with a promoter of unrivalled verbiage and wrestling intellect, Paul Heyman.

They needed every ounce of their talent to make this phoney Invasion appear high stakes to the fans who were wondering why Mike Awesome and not Goldberg was leading the WCW charge.

Although the two have a great respect for each other behind the curtain, their on-screen rivalry felt genuine even before Heyman’s recreation of ECW as part of The Alliance.

The passion, the knowledge, the animosity; JR and Heyman worked beautifully together acting as the voices of their respective entities.
