DDP was new to the company, so whoever made the outcome he was just going to say yes, even how awful it was. Effectively, DDP was buried with the worse possible outcome. There was no point of having the one time non wrestling wife pin a veteran, as it took away any credibility of DDP being a threat. An Undertaker vs DDP match lost any value after that. The angle and story sucked. It went nowhere as evidently clear of it's failure. Edit: If people saw Kimberly compared to Sara, it wasn't believable either, why DDP would stalk UT's wife. 2nd Edit: One more thing, the DDP vs Sara match if I recall correctly the end of the feud, as it marked the idea the person stalked beat the stalker. No progression for DDP as he was buried.

I love The Undertaker, but it was so ridiculously lame how he was basically untouchable at the time during the Invasion.

[@Bubba__Sawyer]

Kind of. He sent Paul Wight to fat camp a little over a year after signing him, and he made Jericho work with Chyna and Bob Holly for a while before doing anything with him.

[@squarepickle]

@@Bubba__Sawyer This is gonna be a long one, but here it goes.. I don't think he really considered Jericho or Big Show WCW guys. They jumped ship before the war was over so he still have them big pushes and major title runs. Guys like DDP, Sting, the Outsiders, Scott Steiner, and I'd even argue Goldberg and Booker T (for most of their time with Vince) were absolutely buried and used to make WWE guys (mostly Triple H) look dominant. Even Goldberg and Booker who most would consider WCW success stories were booked to lose most of their major feuds and neither man was given the company's top title (the WWE Championship). The other guys I mentioned never got to hold ANY major titles after their post WCW careers. They were all fed to Triple H, they were all used as glorified enhancement talent, and they all had their gimmicks, music, and promo styles altered to be lesser versions of who they were in WCW. Despite the fact that Vince literally owned the rights to their music and gimmicks. Why was Nash being booked more like Diesel than Big Sexy? Why was he coming out to some boring generic music instead of his Wolfpack theme? Why were his promos blatantly overscripted and watered down despite it being in 2002-2003 almost a decade before that became the norm? Obviously because Nash had the persona and the mic skills and the entrance to be the top guy on RAW even at that point in his career. Same reason they instantly made Booker T a joke and fed him to The Rock. Same reason Goldberg's persona was changed entirely and he was booked to lose to every WWF Attitude Era star except his debut against The Rock. He even had to defeat Kane via a distraction in their one on one match in early 2004. Years later just to get Vince's point across, Goldberg had to put old man Taker over in 2019. DDP however got the worst end of Vince's wrath. He was instantly made into a coward heel, he was buried into oblivion, everything that was recognizable about his persona from WCW was gutted and repackaged, and he was only allowed to win the European Title, which he lost only a short time later. Very rarely will you see a case of Vince allowing a WCW guy to get one over on a WWF guy unless the WWF guy completely buries him later. Goldberg defeating The Rock maybe one of the very few cases where a WCW star was legitimately allowed to go over a WWF Attitude Era star. Even though it took 10,000 spears and jackhammers to put The Rock away, I guess it's still impressive it was allowed to happen.. So I don't think Vince ever considered Jericho or Big Show WCW guys. They were given clean wins over other "WWF guys" and they were multiple time WWE Champions. Also it never even crossed Vince's mind to have them join the Alliance during the Invasion angle (despite how bad the Alliance could have really used them). Same with Eddie, Benoit, and the Radicals. They came to Vince before the WCW buyout, so I think Vince seen them as WWF guys. They were safe from Vince's Anti-WCW wrath for the most part.

[@ADAMLFC92]

Holy shit that WCW team at invasion 2001 was... Something else to say the least.

[@Trymr]

This is from DDP’s own mouth about the reason why he left: DDP stopped after that Hardcore Holly match due to a concerning legit injury. Holly knocked him out on his feet from a boot in the corner earlier in the match. Then later when DDP went to superplex him, DDP was still concussed, so he rotated strangely & took all of the impact right on his neck & his body jackknifed & so he kicked Holly straight in the balls by accident. He lost feeing in his arms & legs right after the superplex & was still half knocked out. The feeling came mostly back but it was a concern that they couldn’t continue so they ended on Holly’s dropkick. He went to the doc afterwards & they told him he had a dangerous C1 congenital neck defect his whole life, the way he landed on the superplex bump was SO lucky because it should’ve paralyzed him, & they told him he needed to retire. He stopped wrestling immediately because he had lingering symptoms for months & took time off until doing a little for TNA. So that’s why he left WWE.

Having a script might've prevented that disaster of a match Taker and Kane had with Kronik at Unforgiven 2001. I mean, Randy Savage always meticulously laid out matches and never got any shit for it like Page did. Funny how heavily scripted WWE matches would become just a few years later anyway. I think Taker was less annoyed about a script and more annoyed about DDP wanting to actually have a competitive back and fourth match.

It was disappointing and disrespectful having him job out to Sara and doing this ridiculous pointless storyline they could have did a way better feud i know he wanted to feud with rock the problem with each way though is they would just make him and everyone else from wcw look bad the only one I thought did pretty good was Goldberg came in feuded with rock beat him beat Chris Jericho won the world title like he could have held it longer but that’s a lot better than most plus he came back and they pushed him well they just turned ddp and booker in to comedy joke storylines job out sting and had no real plan other than that and always liked to poke fun at him talking about he finally made it to the big leagues and had Steiner in that ridiculous feud with triple h than that long storyline with test and Stacy
