>>11832234McMahon, Russo, Cornette all just overcomplicated the Invasion. But then none of them wanted to actually book an Invasion angle. McMahon just went full vanity and took the opportunity to bury WCW instead and wasn't willing to pay the money for the top star's contracts, Russo just wanted NWO, Cornette wanted an NWA invasion.
In the end the Invasion was a very simple idea to do. It's just a bunch of dream matches. Stone Cold vs Hogan, Undertaker vs Sting, Rock vs Hulk Hogan (which we eventually got at least), yet the end result was just another McMahon vs McMahon angle with some WCW and ECW midcarders on one side. However eventually it didn't even become that, so many people switched sides that it became generic babyfaces vs heels, WCW ended up becoming "The Alliance" anyways and then it stopped being a WCW Invasion.
