WrestleTalk Podcast

Recorded: July 2019 It's finally happened! It was the first time that WWF clashed head to head with WCW and ECW in direct competition! There's classic WWF vs. WCW/ECW matches like... umm... Raven vs. William Regal and... um... X-Pac vs. Billy Kidman... and... uhh... Nick Patrick vs. Earl Hebner. The craziest thing about that joke is the final match on that list is legit one of the matches of the night. Yep, it's the ill-advised WWF InVasion. A rushed together hodge-podge of a PPV where plans changed on a dime, random matches happened for no reason, and the biggest babyface on the planet who was trying to recover from one of the worst heel turns in history, turned heel again. You voted for it, we reviewed it, it's WWF InVasion 2001.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
