10 Times You Were Right To Worry About WWE Feuds
8. WWF Vs. The Alliance
It should've been the biggest storyline in the history of wrestling. Instead, it was a battle in the war between the McMahons.
When World Championship Wrestling was purchased by WWE in 2001, the possibilities were endless. Starting off with the simulcast and Shane McMahon walking out on WCW Monday Nitro, it really should've been so much more. It's painful to look back on.
The biggest problem was that WWE had always encouraged fans to look down on other wrestling companies. Plus, it wasn't the peak of the Monday Night Wars anymore; by the turn of the millennium WWE was miles ahead of the competition. Nobody thought the wrasslers from down south stood a chance: they were right.
WCW still had Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Ric Flair, Goldberg, and more on their books. The list of possible dream matches was endless. Instead, Lance Storm and Hugh Morrus were the first invaders from down south. Booker T arrived not long later, which was big deal; he held the WCW World and United States titles at the time. Diamond Dallas Page should've been a star, but instead he was made into the stalker of The Undertaker's wife. See, there was issues from the start. You were right to worry!
Fans had been encouraged to think WCW was the enemy, so why would anybody cheer for the invaders?
WWE won, order was restored, and slowly the stars that stayed home started to debut. If they'd waited for a year this could've been gold.
