>>6591814WCW was doing this thing where some of the contracts were being paid for by the parent company as part of a cost shell game back when Ted Turner had actual power before the merger. When Vince bought WCW those were all separate. A bunch of guys making the big money just sat on their asses as their contracts ran out getting paid the whole way. Vince could have bought them out but there was no fucking way he was going to pay Hall, Nash and Hogan what it would have cost to get them. That's why the invasion angle was so lackluster and that's why those names eventually showed up much later.
DDP could have sat on his ass as his Time Warner contract ran out getting paid the entire time but he wanted to make a good impression so he went to work right away. It didn't go well for him for a couple of reasons.
