I was completely happy with the WCW/ECW Invasion. They did the best with what they had, and it was WWF's mismanagement of what happened afterwards that taints people's memories of it.

Chris Benoit was probably the best in-ring performer I've seen, largely due to how reckless he was towards his overall health.

If/when WWE buy out TNA, it'll probably be more out of desperation to get themselves some well developed new TV talent than to get rid of the competition.

The main gripe is that Shane McMahon (babyface) was the leader of the heel Invasion team, and the WWF babyfaces were led by heel Vince McMahon. That goes beyond mismanagement that's just backwards booking.

Well it's rare but there are times when he does; Kane more than anyone else of course but also Brock Lesnar, Maven, Nexus, and probably would have put over Great Khali and Mohammed Hassan had certain circumstances not got in the way, they're the ones that come to my mind.

I hate sheamus and he is vastly over rated because he's Irish

[Stereomaniac]

I love Sheamus, and he will be immune from criticism from me purely because he is Irish, really.

But the Invasion resulted in a double turn. Shane turned heel and Vince turned face. In the Invasion PPV, sure, Shane got a good enough reaction from the crowd, but Vince got way more cheers.

Do you think people were just cheering for the WCW guys, and Shane by association? I mean, I know when I was younger, I was interested in Phineas Godwinn's matches due to Ministry.

Bret Hart isn't the best technical wrestler of all time.

I've watched a lot of his matches over the past couple of months and I just can't see how anyone can consider him to be THAT good.

Don't get me wrong, he was a great wrestler. He had fantastic ring psychology, was a great storyteller and lived up to his nickname the "Excellence of Execution" in terms of how he executed all of his moves.

As a technical wrestler though... I just didn't see it. Im my opinion, people like Angle, McGuinness and Danielson are far superior to him in that department.

I found the Ric Flair of later years in WWE and TNA more entertaining than Flair at his peak.

[Stereomaniac]

I can second that. I found him thoroughly entertaining as he almost entered into self-parody.

[Sonics2k]

Bret Hart is over-rated, and a complete gobshíte at the best of times.

[Stereomaniac]

I'd have to disagree with you there, in fairness, he hasn't had the easiest life the last few years.

[Sonics2k]

He honestly always came across as an arse to me really, even when I was a kid getting into the WWF.

I know the guy has had a hard time since the death of Owen especially, but his whole attitude about it and unrelenting blame for Vince has always annoyed me. That combined with his attitude to other wrestlers does my head in.

He was a fine wrestler in his day, but he seemed to become increasingly bitter as newer and better people came along.
