Although billed as the ultimate clash between the rival promotions, the climactic 'Invasion' angle must occupy a low position on this due to its watered-down nature. Unlike Sting, a wrestler unquestionably seen as WCW through-and-through, the invading roster featured few true icons of the Georgia company. Notable absences included Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Ric Flair and Hollywood Hogan, forcing the booking team to bolster WCW's ranks with ECW allies and turncoat WWF superstars. The final battle at Survivor Series 2001 was promoted as a winner-takes-all match between the five prime workers of either side. While Team WWF genuinely did feature a star-powered collection of talent (The Rock, Kane, Undertaker, Chris Jericho and Big Show), the Alliance was disappointingly thin on the ground. Although Booker T can rightly be recognised as a crucial part of WCW's history, the rest of the team consisted of Shane McMahon, ECW star Rob Van Dam, the defecting Kurt Angle, and Austin. Although admittedly a WCW wrestler long before his legendary rise with Vince, Stone Cold must surely be considered WWF to the core, so closely is his own success tied to that of the company. The match was decent, but the booking of the entire angle left fans deflated. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xcqpa_team-wwf-vs-the-alliance_sport
