Looking back at it today though and comparing it to today's product, it really wasn't bad at all. I'd take the Invasion as a whole over anything of the last 10 years to be honest. We got some amazing matches and tons of interesting characters. The roster was ridiculous.

People, including myself, were always pissed that guys like Nash, Hall, Hogan, Goldberg, Flair etc.. weren't involved during that time and we'd later learn they had contracts that basically paid them more to sit at home. But I'd almost argue would they of made the product worse? I look at 2002-2003 when they were added to the WWE Roster and i didn't enjoy the product as much.


So what are your thoughts? does 2001 still suck in your mind or have you come to appreciate it more?

it sucks that those guys had those contracts, but to be honest... Invasion wasnt going anywhere. Vince already announced on TV that he bought the company. Any Invasion storyline was killed right there, And Vince apparently did not realize that.
