Booker/Storm was supposedly initially figured at the "WCW relaunch" at the end of that one RAW instead of the shitty mach between Booker and Buff Bagwell we got instead. Supposedly because of the pop Bagwell would get/did get when Vince name dropped him in the first place.

Got the whole thing off on the wrong foot for the ensuing Invasion angle. About the only redeemable part was Buff getting thrown out the building at the end, as it made sense character wise, but the match itself was strike one at the top of the first.

Could have changed some trajectories. Namely, Lance Storm being relegated to tag team partner extrodinare and eventual dancing comedy jobber, and also possibly having people wanting to see more of how the company would handle WCW going foward instead of the "ugh, nevermind on this idea" feeling most folks got left with after said match.
