Check out The Death of WCW at Amazon.com!

- After WWE bought WCW, the brand was booked to look weak from the start of the invasion storyline. Rather than go after top talent with top talent, WCW's invasion began with the likes of Lance Storm and Hugh Morrus attacking the likes of Bradshaw and Goldust. In the initial weeks, Kurt Angle was the only top star that was attacked by someone from WCW. Was it Goldberg? Scott Steiner? No, it was Shane McMahon.

- The first WCW sanctioned match on RAW was described by Arn Anderson as being "bigger than the moon landing." It was Booker T defending the WCW Title against Buff Bagwell. Scott Hudson advertised the match as "history in the making" as Booker and Bagwell would compete for the "WWF Title." The crowd hated the match and a lot of people actually left. When heels Steve Austin and Kurt Angle ran out, the crowd cheered loudly. The night ended with the focus being on Vince McMahon backstage in his boxers. McMahon immediately canceled the plans for a section of RAW to be dedicated to WCW every week.

- DDP wanted to be part of the angle so badly that he approached Vince McMahon and agreed to allow McMahon to buy his contract out for 50% of its total worth. He was thanked by being put into a ridiculous storyline where he stalked the Undertaker's wife. He was made to look incredibly weak in their matches.

- The first WWF Champion vs WCW Champion match took place in September 2001... Steve Austin and The Rock. The most historically significant wrestling match unimaginable in North America was fought by two WWE guys.

- Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Scott Steiner, and Goldberg were all signed by WWE AFTER the Invasion storyline was over.
