World Wrestling Federation: When Worlds Collide - The Night AFTER InVasion!


Recommended Posts

The Invasion was a professional wrestling storyline in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) that began shortly after the WWF's purchase of World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It involved the WCW wrestlers "invading" WWF television in an attempt to "take over" the WWF.

 

The idea of a supercard featuring the two top promotions of the Monday Night Wars was considered to be a "dream match" scenario in the eyes of many fans, as it would allow the fans to see which promotion would be kayfabe superior. The angle began when Vince McMahon's son, Shane McMahon, announced on Raw that he bought WCW from under his father's nose. This led to several run-in appearances of WCW wrestlers during Raw and SmackDown! over the months after WrestleMania X-Seven.

 

In June 2001, the angle grew in intensity as the WWF storylines somewhat abated to make room for the central Invasion storyline. WCW and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) merged to form The Alliance and challenged the WWF's control over the wrestling industry. An Inaugural Brawl took place at the WWF Invasion pay-per-view, where Stone Cold Steve Austin defected and joined the Alliance. Many inter-promotional matches occurred after the Invasion between The Alliance and the WWF, leading up to the climax of the angle at Survivor Series, when Team WWF (The Rock, Chris Jericho, Big Show, The Undertaker, and Kane) defeated Team Alliance (Stone Cold, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, and Shane McMahon) in a Winner-Take-All match.

 

A very large storyline that spanned eight months from March 2001 to November 2001, it has been met with heavy criticism.

 

So...what if things were a little different? What if the InVasion WASN'T met with heavy criticism? What if it was met with heaps of praise and adoration from the fans as The McMahons delivered an epic storyline? That's where this diary begins, just 24 hours after the InVasion 2001 Pay Per View...

 

Background to WWF InVasion 2001...

Invasion was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It took place on July 22, 2001 at the Gund Arena in Cleveland, Ohio and it was the first pay-per-view to feature the ongoing Invasion storyline, which featured wrestlers from the WWF taking on a combined force of wrestlers from World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), later known as The Alliance. The event featured WWF wrestlers facing WCW and ECW wrestlers. The main event, dubbed the "Inaugural Brawl," was a five-on-five tag team match between Team WWF and Team WCW/ECW.

 

On March 23, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) bought out its long-time rival, World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The last episode of WCW Monday Nitro aired on March 26, dubbed the "Night of Champions". Nitro started with WWF Owner Vince McMahon announcing a simulcast with WWF Raw is War later that night to address the future of WCW, during which it was revealed that Shane McMahon had bought WCW. During May and June, WCW wrestlers interfered in matches on WWF programming. At the 2001 King of the Ring, Booker T interfered during a Triple Threat match for the WWF Championship and suplexed Steve Austin through the announcers table, nearly costing him the title.

 

On the following night, the June 25 edition of Raw is War, Shane declared his intention to invade the WWF, and the Invasion storyline started with Booker T performing a Scissors Kick to Vince. On the June 28 edition of WWF SmackDown!, it was decided that Fully Loaded was to be changed to Invasion, and would feature matches between WWF and WCW. On the July 9 edition of Raw is War, Paul Heyman declared that Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) had joined the invasion, and some WWF and WCW wrestlers defected to ECW. Shane appeared to co-operate with Vince against ECW, but later that night, it was revealed that WCW and ECW have merged, and that Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley now owned ECW.

 

Earlier in the year, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin had a change in character, becoming more emotional, and friendly with Vince. On the June 12 edition of SmackDown!, Vince said he needed the "old" Austin, an anti-hero tough character, to lead the WWF at Invasion. After Vince pleaded with him, Austin shook his head and left. During the July 16 edition of Raw is War, Austin was shown drinking in a bar. Later that night, a fight started between many WWF wrestlers, and WCW and ECW wrestlers. As WWF seemed to be disadvantaged, Austin arrived, and returned to his old character, fighting off the WCW and ECW wrestlers. The WWF wrestlers cleaned out the ring, and were left standing tall.

 

The Results of the Show...

 

Before the event officially began, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (WCW) defeated Scotty 2 Hotty (WWF) in a match taped for Sunday Night HEAT. The first match of the event was between Lance Storm and Mike Awesome (ECW), and Edge and Christian (WWF). The match went back and forth until Awesome attempted a cheap shot at Edge from the apron. Edge avoided it, performed a dropkick, and sent Storm on top of him with a back body drop. Christian then leaped off Edge over the top rope onto Storm and Awesome. As Christian was on the top turnbuckle, Awesome tripped Christian, and attacked his back outside. Back in the ring, Storm and Awesome dominated Christian after Storm threw Christian's gut into the ringpost.

The eighth match was between Rob Van Dam (RVD) (ECW) and Jeff Hardy (WWF) for the WWF Hardcore Championship. Before the match began, RVD attacked Matt Hardy from behind with a steel chair. The match started back and forth with a quick pace. Hardy gained the advantage after a dropkick to the back. After Hardy missed a crossbody, RVD performed a standing moonsault, a lifting double underhook facebuster, and a rolling thunder. RVD then climbed the turnbuckles, but Hardy shoved him outside. Outside, Hardy walked the barricade, but RVD sent him into the crowd. After a moonsault from the barricade, Hardy was placed over the barricade, and RVD performed a spinning heel kick off the apron. Hardy fought back with a sunset flip powerbomb from the apron, took out a ladder, and climbed it. However, RVD tipped the ladder, causing Hardy to fall. RVD attempted to use a chair, but Hardy used the ladder. After Hardy hit RVD with the chair, RVD came back with a Van Daminator, sending Hardy off the stage. Back in the ring, RVD performed a Chair Surf, and attempted a split-legged moonsault, but Hardy blocked it with his knees. Hardy followed with a DDT, a German suplex, and a sitout jawbreaker. RVD then avoided a Swanton Bomb, placed the title belt on Hardy, and performed a Five-Star Frog Splash. RVD then pinned Hardy to win the title.

 

The ninth match was a Bra and Panties match between Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler, and Trish Stratus and Lita with Mick Foley as the special guest referee.

A Cold Night in Hell - WWF RAW is WAR Preview!

Monday, Week 1, August 2001

 

Just 24 hours removed from a Pay-Per-View that has already gone down in history, so many questions demand answers on RAW is WAR this week, specifically the question "WHY AUSTIN WHY?" 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin last night defected to WCW/ECW and God only knows why. In a statement released by Shane and Stephanie McMahon, they have promised that Austin will be at RAW and WILL explain his actions! What will Austin have to say, and will any WWF Superstars take offense to his comments?

 

In the current Main Event, the pride of the WWF - The Undertaker will take on WCW World Heavyweight Champion Booker T. Thankfully for Booker T, his Championship will not be on the line, but after last night, Undertaker is out for revenge on WCW/ECW and would love to get in the title picture in order to bring a World Title back to the camp of the WWF!

 

Plus, in a 6-Man Tag Team Match, the WCW Tag Team Champions Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo will team up with the WWF Intercontinental Champion Lance Storm to battle the team of Crash, Hardcore Holly & Al Snow. Which team will emerge victorious in what is sure to be a fierce war?

 

Also confirmed for RAW, it's handbags at dawn...well...more like fists at dawn as Mighty Molly from WCW/ECW takes on quite possibly the WWF's toughest diva - Jacqueline. Molly is sure to have her stooge Hurricane Helms at ringside,can we expect any interference from him?

 

Find out the answers to these questions and so much more on RAW is WAR!

 

Confirmed Matches

- Non-Title - Booker T© versus The Undertaker

- 6-Man Tag Team Match - Sean O'Haire, Chuck Palumbo© & Lance Storm© versus The Holly Cousins & Al Snow

- Women's Match - Jacqueline versus Mighty Molly

Apologies for the style of results for this show, I've had laptop issues which involved the results I'd written getting deleted so I wrote it like this because I really didn't wanna write the show twice. Smackdown will be in the style I actually want it to be, unless people prefer this style better? Lemme know what you think!

A Cold Night in Hell - WWF RAW is WAR Results!

Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illnois - Monday, Week 1, August 2001

 

Sunday Night Heat Taping Results

- WCW Cruiserweight Championship - X-Pac© defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr.

- Big Show defeated Justin Credible with a Chokeslam.

- Raven defeated 'The One' Billy Gunn after the Raven Effect.

 

On RAW is WAR, we were promised an explanation, and an explanation we got as the man of the moment - 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin explained his actions at the InVasion pay-per view. Austin explained that with Vince McMahon, you can go very quickly from being his enemy where he will do everything in his power to remove you from the company, and then you can be his best friend just like that. Austin said that McMahon used WWF Superstars in order to get McMahon wants. Austin told the audience that The McMahons and Paul Heyman offered him a considerable amount of money to get him on their side because after all, he is both a former WCW and ECW Star. This prompted particular outrage fromWWF Superstar Chris Jericho who walked out to the ring and told Austin that all he is to The McMahons and Heyman is a puppet. They pull the strings and Austin dances. Jericho said that he is also a former WCW and ECW Star but he stayed with the WWF because not only have they been good to him, that's where he got his biggest break - nobody held him down and he went to the top. After the argument ended, Chris Jericho challenged Austin to a WWF Championship Match at Summerslam which has yet to be confirmed.

 

In the Main Event of Raw, WCW World Heavyweight Champion Booker T took on The Undertaker in a non-title bout with the hope that a win for Undertaker would earn him a title shot against Booker. The match was a nice back and forth encounter with Booker T escaping moves such as Old-Skool and the Chokeslam, and Undertaker managing to counter out of the Bookend and avoid a Missile Dropkick. In the end though, Undertaker got a hold of Booker T and lifted him up into the air for what he calls 'The Last Ride' but out of nowhere, Rhyno hit the ring and blasted The Undertaker with a Gore! Earlier in the night we had heard Stephanie McMahon talking to Rhyno about making an impact by taking out a certain WWF Star, this must've been who she meant. After the referee called for the bell, Rhyno's assault continued as he and Booker T started to take advantage of a fallen Undertaker, until the crowd erupted as Kurt Angle sprinted to the ring and cleaned house.

 

Rob Van Dam's roll continued on Raw, just 24 hours after becoming Hardcore Champion, he was able to pin Matt Hardy after the Five Star Frog Splash. Prior to the match, Jeff Hardy challenged RVD to a rematch at Summerslam in which the title would be hung above the ring and the only way to reach it is to climb a Ladder. Hardy also mentioned that there would be Tables and Chairs in the match. After RVD won the match, he accepted Jeff Hardy's challenge. Also in the show, Matt Hardy had a confrontation with Diamond Dallas Page, where it was revealed that William Regal had granted DDP a European Championship Match next week on Raw!

 

The Dudley Boyz were hoping to have an easy night tonight as they came out to the ring and called themselves the best tag team in the world and mentioned their win at InVasion (not that either of them got the pin) and called out The APA for a World Tag Team Championship Match, but instead they got Edge and Christian. Edge and Christian began to mock The Dudleyz and then argued with them about who actually deserves the title shot more. The conclusion of the argument saw a match made for next week on Raw - Edge and Christian vs The Dudleyz and the winners go onto Summerslam to challenge The APA.

 

In other news, Chris Kanyon managed to successfully defend his United States Championship in an Open Challenge against Scotty 2 Hotty. The US Champion dominated the match and eventually beat Scotty with the Flatliner. After the match, Kanyon went to walk up the ramp which exploded into flames. Is Kane the next challenger for Kanyon?

 

Plus, 'Mighty' Molly pinned Jacqueline after using the ropes to her advantage and after the match, Jackie looked for some payback until Ivory, Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson joined Molly in a beatdown on the tough Texan. However, Jacqueline wasn't alone either as Trish Stratus and Lita hit the ring and the 3 WWF women were able to drive off the women of the Alliance.

 

In the Opening Contest, Al Snow and The Holly Cousins got somewhat of an upset over WCW Tag Team Champions Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo and WWF Intercontinental Champion Lance Storm. The finish saw Crash Holly get a surprise roll-up on Chuck Palumbo to win the match. Where does this put Al Snow and The Holly Cousins in terms of title shots? Time will only tell! Tazz was also able to notch up a win as he choked out Tajiri with the Tazzmission in an InVasion rematch.

 

Quick Results

- The Undertaker def. Booker T by disqualification after Rhyno interfered

- Tazz def. Tajiri by submission with the Tazmission

- Rob Van Dam def. Matt Hardy after the Five Star Frog Splash.

- Chris Kanyon© def. Scotty 2 Hotty to retain the WCW United States Championship

- 'Mighty' Molly def. Jacqueline via illegally using the ropes

- Al Snow & The Holly Cousins def. Lance Storm©, Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire©

STONE COLD TARGET?

WWF Smackdown Preview - Thursday, Week 1, August 2001

 

Tonight on WWF Smackdown, both Chris Jericho and the WWF Champion 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin will be at the arena, neither of them are currently scheduled for in-ring competition but things could change at the drop of a hat. Jericho took offense to comments made by Austin on Raw this past Monday night, will we find out anymore about Jericho's pursuit for the WWE Championship? Will he be granted a title shot against Austin?

 

The Main Event scheduled for Smackdown is sure to be a blockbuster as Rhyno teams up with the WCW Champion Booker T to face Kurt Angle and The Undertaker. Rhyno took out Undertaker with a Gore on Raw on Monday as per orders from Stephanie McMahon, but will he regret those moves when he gets into the ring with Undertaker? What business does Kurt Angle have with Booker T?

 

In another Tag Team Match signed for Smackdown, Diamond Dallas Page teams with the WCW United States Champion Chris Kanyon to battle The Hardy Boyz consisting of European Champion Matt Hardy, and Jeff Hardy who will face Rob Van Dam at Summerslam in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match for the Hardcore Championship. Will RVD be watching this to scout his future opponent?

 

Confirmed Matches

Tag Team Match - Booker T© & Rhyno versus The Undertaker & Kurt Angle

Tag Team Match - Chris Kanyon© & DDP versus The Hardy Boyz
