#2 The Invasion

One of the landmark moments in WWE's history was when Vince McMahon managed to buy his competition, WCW. For years the two companies battled for ratings supremacy during the Monday Night War, and in March of 2001, WCW officially lost that war.

One of the things that meant was an influx of WCW Superstars into WWE. Fans were excited to see the likes of Sting and Goldberg finally come to WWE, plus the return of wrestlers like Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash.

That isn't how it went. WWE ran an invasion angle but because of the above stars' guaranteed contracts, none of them came until after the invasion was over. It ran for a number of months but was never what fans had envisioned it would be.
