I like Jim, but that card is retarded beyond belief. A realistic, better Invasion WrestleMania X8:
>The Rock vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan
>Chris Jericho vs. Triple H vs. Rob Van Dam
>The Brothers of Destruction vs. The Outsiders
>Vince McMahon & Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Eric Bischoff & Ric Flair
>Kurt Angle vs. Booker T
>Trish Stratus & Lita vs. Stacy Keibler & Torrie Wilson
>The Hardy Boyz vs. The Dudley Boyz vs. Sean O'Haire & Chuck Palumbo (TLC)
>Goldust vs. DDP
>Edge vs. Christian vs. Test vs. Lance Storm

His logic was that he was leaving for hollywood anyways so he didn't care to lose.

Of all the people, The Rock wouldn't have given a shit, surely. Especially since The Rock laid down for almost everyone on the way out. I'd imagine he wouldn't care about losing to Sting.

Reminder that his entire Invasion idea is a worked shoot too where Vince demands the WCW guys "job" to the WWF guys and the WCW guys "go off the script" and refuse to get pinned and "go into business for themselves" Also WCW are the babyfaces in the whole thing and he expected that to work on WWF turf, and also he calls up Brock Lesnar only to send him back down to developmental after one match.

I too use to be ignorant of wrestling history and thought this was a bad card. But knowing his goal was to bring back lapsed fans of the territories and not give the attitude era fans, who were already leaving, a last hurrah it makes so much more sense.
Trading the attitude era fans, who were trained to have completely unrealistic standards for stunts and writing, for territory fans who would bring their families to shows and be happy to just have some emotional investment in the wrestlers is a no brainer.

What the fuck? That only makes it worse. The people who watched wrestling during the MNW outnumber the hicks who used to watch Wrestling at the Chase by 100-to-1 if not more. What the hell is he catering to those old farts for?

For me it's:
Austin vs Hogan
Rock vs Goldberg OR Sting
Undertaker vs Goldberg OR Sting
APA vs Hall and Nash
Angle vs Flair
Kane vs Big Show (who's defected back to WCW)
Hardyz vs RVD and Mysterio
Dudleyz vs Steiners
Edge and Christian vs 2 of the Radicalz (who've defected back to WCW)
Something involving the McMahons and Bischoff
Then a few matches to make use of your Jerichos, your Ravens, your DDPs, your Booker Ts, your remaining Radicalz, your Regals etc

I don't know what HHH would do, something Kliq related if HBK came back?

He's so out of touch. He basically booked late 80s to early 90s WCW against modern (at the time) WWF. Not paying attention at all to the fact that guys like the Road Warriors were getting crickets by then and the average fan at the time had no idea who Terry Funk was.

This was the most hilarious part of it, even more than the wrestlemania card.
He constantly shits on Russo, and the NWO, or DX exposing the business and doing worked shoot smark bullshit. And then his brilliant idea for the invasion is that "legit badasses" like Chris Benoit or Terry Funk shoot on people and make it clear they won't follow the script that they're supposed to job. It's a miracle he didn't book Dr. Death and Haku to shoot on Brock and Angle
