If there's one good thing that came from the Invasion, it took place on the final SmackDown before the Survivor Series.

With everything on the line, Paul Heyman, who had been the advocate for the Alliance called Vince McMahon to the ring.

In one of the greatest promos ever, Heyman lambasted the chairman, speaking about how Vince had betrayed everyone who had trusted him, to make money.

"You stole Bret Hart's dream... and bought yourself an airplane... you stole Shawn Michael's smile... and made yourself a billionaire."

The best part about the promo, which you can watch for yourself below, is that it was entirely a shoot, as Vince reportedly told Heyman to sell Survivor Series to the fans.

Whilst Heyman's side may have lost that Sunday, Paul E would be back months later, as the manager for a new rookie upstart: Brock Lesnar.
