Jim Cornette & The NWA - WWF 1998 Invasion

[@JeromeDoyle]

Met Severn at a local wrestling show in the early 2000's. Absolute legend of a man. Chatted with me for hours about wrestling, mma, and life. He changed my life and helped set me down a good path. I owe the Dan "The Beast" Severn a lot.

[@monarched]

Met him too...awesome guy, one of my friends actually got to team up with him in a tag match, he called it the greatest moment of his life, let alone his career.

The only way for an invasion angle to work is the invading force needs to get some wins....and Vince never lets that happens

[@benkernow280]

It also showed that there should be a way of the WWF telling the wwf fans who they are and didn’t let people do that and didn’t learn from there mistakes as the alliance and nexus proves

[@FallicIdol]

They need to win a lot early on for it to work. An invasion needs to rock the federation to its core a s create an existential crisis

[@patriceaqa288]

M Rowley I think pro wrestling is such a fast food rapid spaced sport that what IS and is NOT relevant changes on not a yearly or even monthly but often weekly basis. Even when WCW top names came into the WWF they had a tiny window of oppurtunity to make an impact because WCW was barely gone. It never happened and then the predominant big drawers of crowds and PPV buys went back to dominating. What's wrong with wrestling? There's just too much of it and the more WWF has now expanded its television products it's become less and less important. No one can keep up with the product anymore. I think the WWF having four PPV's per year with wrestlemania as its main event, backed by one weekly addition of RAW would be ENOUGH, and also not soooo much to keep fans anticipating the events. You get those special moments in wrestling when a feud between two stars culminates in a huge match after being built so cleverly. They are RARE though. The more disposable WWF television suffocating audiences the ever more rare they will be

[@dandamanwastaken1200]

That is true but the NWA invasion was gonna fail from the start just because it was the attitude era and almost no fan cared or knew about the NWA by that time.

[@williamthompson5504]

Daniel Paula I was out of high school, but I was still watching wrestling. I enjoyed seeing some old wrestlers, but it was a mess. Everything was DQ and beat downs. Both done quickly. NWA didn’t get a match long enough for a commercial break. It could have worked. The NWA would have needed to get dirty. What I mean is messing up faces and heels + going after bigger talent. The NWO got over and they were an all new stable.

[@Stefan8u]

Yeah due to several events after I think this might be the best modern invasion angle out there.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

@@Stefan8u I'd give it to the NWO, which began as a WWF invasion of WCW before the lawyers got involved, and then invaded the WWF long enough to give us Rock vs. Hogan. Or the recent NXT invasion, which at least saved a Survivor Series before WWE figured out how to sabotage itself again. Also, Flair's invasion as "the real world champion" gave us a great Rumble and a great Mania match. Really, though, the best was probably New Japan vs. UWF. Apparently, they got years of main events out of it.

The last gasp of the NWA in the 90s and until the creation of TNA in 2002, the NWA might as well have been out of business. The NWA stuff, especially trying to recreate the Midnight Express or bringing back the Rock N Roll Express just seemed really out of place in late 90s wrestling; only person who should've been more featured was Dan Severn.

[@JM1993951]

[@MrBeardsley]

I remember when all of this was going down, and all I could think at the time was how weird the whole thing was. After the split from WCW, the NWA was such a non-factor in the national wrestling scene that better booking wouldn’t have even saved the angle.

[@ellismarquez8410]

The NWA did have a resurgence in TNA, which would be the most interesting years for TNA.

[@MrBeardsley]

@@ellismarquez8410 That wasn’t really the NWA though, they were basically just a loose affiliation of indie feds and even though TNA had creative control over their world and tag team titles they were never actually a member. Besides, by the time TNA landed a steady TV deal with Spike and started signing more established names it was at the tail end of their association with the NWA.

[@freddiejohnson6137]

I always found this an odd fit at the time since Vince was really starting to push everything as counter culture and history and then you had him agree to have his former biggest rival get time on the show. Ok it wasn't the NWA of old but it was still odd for him to give them any kind of promotion. At least when he did the same with ECW it was because him and Paul Heyman were on very good terms and had a beneficial agreement.

[@martynodonnell8467]

I believe and I’ve heard through another source, at some point in the past, I’m sure. Vince wanted to do a crossover with NWA as WCW liked to talk about their heritage and talk about how they were the NWA old. However the story they told was fabricated and they didn’t come from the NWA of old. As Vince tried to prove with his cross promotional showings of “the real” NWA on Raw. I’m a little sketchy of the details, but it was to try and stick it to WCW.

[@saucers79]

@@martynodonnell8467 Sounds like Vince.

[@freddiejohnson6137]

@@martynodonnell8467 that is very possible although the NWA was basically just a name at that point with a bunch of affiliated small promotions. The problem is those running it still thought if they picked a promotion to be the flagship one it would be like the old days but ECW just used them for some buzz at the time and once TNA was done with getting more will known they dropped them like how WCW did. Even by this point in 1997 most people considered that most of the NWA's history to be a part of WCW regardless of certain details anyway so I don't think too many wrestling fans at the time cared.

Also Double-J wearing a gimmick costume after mocking gimmicks in his shoot. -Nobody cared about the NWA titles or their wrestlers -It didn't seem like an invasion, more like McMahon willingly giving them air time -The whole thing made WWF look like they were so desperate for ratings, they begged NWA to join them As boring as all this was, McMahon then made the Brawl for All, which was even worse.
