Notes:

This is the card I wanted to build to as the end of the "invasion" angle. I needed Jericho and Saturn on the card, but I couldn't find a good spot for them, so I let them open against Eddie and Chavo in what I feel was a good way to open the card.
Next I had Jeff Hardy defend his WWF Hardcore title (never lost it to RVD, it was non-title at my Invasion) against an ECW mainstay, Tazz. I wanted this card to END the angle, so Hardy retained. Any other day, Tazz would've chocked his ass out.
Next I wanted to bring TAKA back as a viable Light Heavyweight contender so I can rebuild that division, so I had him face Kidman in another great match. Kidman retained his WCW title, though (never lost it to X-Pac), so we could end this angle.
X-Pac DID, however, have the Light Heavyweight title when I started this, so I had to let him defend it against my favorite WCW cruiser, Shane Helms. Sadly, X-Pac never jobs, so he beat Helms and retained the WWF Light Heavyweight title.
Matt Hardy HAD to defend that Euro title, so I chose Awesome as his opponent to see what he could do against a cruiser. The match was pretty good, but sadly, Awesome was injured in it and couldn't compete for five months in ECW. Awwwww.
I didn't want Kane or Taker in ANY fed, so I had them get retired at the hands of the ECW titlists, The Dudley Boyz, so as to make it believable. Dudleyz also retained their ECW tag titles...I believe this would make them nine time champions?
I just HAD to display Sean O'Haire's abilities in the ring to see if I wanted to bring him into the WWF, and yes, he had a great match against Edge & Christian. He and Palumbo retained their WCW titles in great fashion with the Seanton Bomb.
Sadly I had to squash the Impact Players so as to keep the WWF tag titles in the WWF. The APA, however, I DO like, so I guess it wasn't that bad. Bradshaw and Faarooq, however, don't put out great matches as a team, so they won't keep `em for long.
And now I just HAD to bring the ECW TV Title back to ECW, and who better to give it to than Jerry Lynn, who was never able to capture the damn thing in ECW in the first place. The TV title has more prestigue than the World title, so it's NOT a step down.
Sadly, I had to give the WCW US title back to the WCW, so Rob Van Dam had to lose to Hugh Morrus. I forget why I didn't just keep it on Kanyon in the first place...I don't know. But, RVD had to job.
And so did Kanyon, as Albert had to retain the IC title (Lance Storm and Edge never won it). It MIGHT have been a good match had Albert not been involved. Oh well.
And now Triple H's return to the ring, two months before he will return in real life. Due to ECW turning against Steph, HHH stood up for her honor and thus the shot against ECW World champ, Rhyno. Triple H CAN'T lose his return match, so he won the ECW World title, but after the match threw it down saying he's too good for that title. When ECW breaks off, Tazz wins it in a tournament and quickly begins a feud with Rhyno.
I didn't want a crappy DQ win for Booker, and I didn't want TWO people throwing down titles, so The Rock had to win two PPV's in a row. Poor Booker. If you think I'm burying him, just wait until No Mercy and Survivor Series.
And finally, Austin and Angle. Austin IS WCW, so I had to give the title to Angle in a half-assed match that isn't like these two. Anyway, Angle is now a two time World champion! And Austin goes to WCW to feud with The Rock and the returning Scott Steiner.
