RYAN HALL: Thank God they killed the 'Debra managing Rock' thing.

EDDIE BURKETT: Triple H's superhuman powers should have made him the
superhero, not Molly.  Molly should have cared more for Spike, at least
enough to give us some sort of feud between Spike and Hurricane.  Booker
auditioning for a movie was stupid, and the skits sucked to boot.

SCOTT CRAWFORD: Again, too many bad angles to possibly vote for them all.

SCOTT WORDEN: Worst angle was Kronik attacking taker..  UGH oh, Chyna and
her neck getting hurt and then hurting it again at the rumble.  double
ugh.

F-MAN: Just like the whole Invasion angle, the WWF really dropped the ball
on this one. To introduce the first major WCW player in the WWF as a
perverted stalker is beyond me. DDP not only had to feud and job to the
WWF's #4 face, he also had to job to the guy's wife.

CHRIS BIRD: The DDP-as-stalker angle was simply one of the worst angles
EVER. People have wondered how they could have saved it (make DDP less
obsessive, let DDP maybe beat up the Undertaker once to show a bit of
dominance, whatever). The answer is simple: they couldn't. The stalker
angle was being rightly mocked from the get-go for being lame AND
offensive AND boring. To think that taking two respected names in the
sport and feuding them would be so misdone. (Also bad: Road Warrior Animal
as the Mystery Man at WCW Sin. Oh, that was laughable, indeed.)

SHOCKER 2K: What a steaming pile of crap the Invasion turned out to be,
eh?

DONNY L: Goldberg winning streak version 2.0 was a desperate move to get a
talentless musclehead over again..Vince making Trish bark like a dog was
the one time I actally question why I watch this..Trips being dropped from
a car, What? WrestleCrap where are you.

JOHN C.: DDP as Sara's stalker was the wrong choice. Triple H coming back
from the car dropping in eight days was way too soon. Chyna feuding with
Lita over spankings was dead before it started.

CHRIS GRIMM: Man, I wish that asskissing stuff happened a few months
sooner...

BLAZEJ SZPAKOWICZ: That ridiculous Triple
H-getting-stuck-in-a-car-and-falling-to-his-untimely-not-death thing,
hands down. I mean, it was a thoroughly idiotic angle in the first place,
but having the guy come back a week later with nary a scratch made it just
that li'l bit worse. The Linda/Vince divorce and nervous breakdown saga
gets second. It also gets extra marks for kicking off the magnificent
McMahon vs. McMahon vs. McMahon vs. McMahon storyline. Third is Kurt Angle
turning alliance. Sure, they salvaged it by having him be the mole, but it
still had plot holes you could drive Jupiter through.

YNAE316: Talk about Wrestlecrap....

MATT SPAULDING: Goldberg's "new" winning streak wasn't going to get
interesting until around the 160 mark anyway, and then to have him
actually lose is a hole WCW wouldn't have been able to dig out of had it
stayed in business.  Animal was the big surprise?  And Debra as Rock's
manager never got off the ground, and she was pulled from the role before
the match.  What?
