- Apparently, the WCW/ECW faction was referred to as “The Alliance” on Smackdown, because the WWF is worried about losing the rights to the ECW name after next week’s TV.

- One of the main reasons why the WWF decided to involve ECW in the Invasion angle is due to the crowded roster the WWF had. The WWF transferred some of their established wrestlers, who didn’t get much TV time to ECW. As for the moment, the WWF is not thinking about hiring any more wrestlers for “The Alliance” faction.
