INVASION RESULTS

Heat: The night kicked off with WCW Cruiserweight Champion Sugar Shane Helms pinning WWF Lightweight Champion Dean Malenko after hitting the Vertebreaker. ***1/4, 78% Overall
WWF: 0, WCW: 1

WWF European Championship: Eddie Guerrero cheated his way against champion Chris Benoit to win back the European Championship. Not only did this win bring WCW to a 2-0 lead, but the European Championship was now property of WCW. ****, 87% Overall
WWF: 0, WCW: 2

WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships: The Hardy Boyz answered right back with a huge win, bringing a WCW title over to the WWF. Jeff Hardy hit Billy Kidman with a Swanton Bomb for the win, putting WWF on the board in the process. ****1/4, 86% Overall
WWF: 1, WCW: 2

Champion vs. Champion: Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho squared off against United States Champion Chris Kanyon. It was a back and forth bout, but Jericho eventually got the nod with the Lionsault. And just like that, WWF tied things up. ***1/4, 86% Overall
WWF: 2, WCW: 2

Team ECK vs. ???: Shane McMahon came out to introduce Team ECK's opponents. For WWF Tag Team Champions Edge and Christian, Shane introduced a set of brothers they'd never faced before: The Steiner Brothers. And to address Angle calling himself the greatest of all time, Shane introduced a man who begged to differ: WOOOOOOOO. So yeah, it was Team ECK vs. The Steiners and Ric Flair (bet everyone thought it'd be the nWo). Flair ended up sticking it to Angle, making him tap out to the Figure Four Leglock. ***, 82% Overall
WWF: 2, WCW: 3

HHH vs. DDP: The crowd was certainly red-hot for this one, most of them pulling for DDP, the fan favorite. Unfortunately for them it didn't end that way, as Triple H ended up getting the victory for the WWF, knotting things up once again. ***1/4, 88% Overall
WWF: 3, WCW: 3

WCW Tag Team Championships: The Brothers of Destruction seemed to have Palumbo and O'Haire's number in this one. It seemed all but certain that they'd pick up the victory, until the rest of the Natural Born Thrillers hit the ring and started beating the shit out of them. WWF got the win in this one because of a DQ through interference, but the NBT seem to only care that Palumbo and O'Haire hold onto the belts. The NBT did a number on the Brothers, but WWF took its first lead of the night. ***1/4, 83% Overall
WWF: 4, WCW: 3

WCW Championship: This was a dream match of sorts, with The Rock taking on Booker T. This was about as evenly matched as a match can get. All of the signature moves were broke out, from the People's Elbow to the Scissor Kick. Ending came when The Rock set up for a Rock Bottom...Booker muscled out, planted him with the Bookend, and 3 seconds later he retained his title. They shook hands after, and the scorecard was tied heading into the final match (what a surprise!) ***1/2, 86% Overall

WWF Championship: This was the dream match everyone was waiting for: Austin vs. Goldberg. The crowd was the hottest it had been all night (picture it being sorta like Rock vs. Hogan.....which hasn't happened yet ). The ref eventually got laid out as Goldberg was prepared to nail Austin with a Spear. But then all of a sudden, as Goldberg charged...Hardcore Champion Rhyno snuck into the ring and laid Goldberg out with a Gore.

Austin recovered, saw what Rhyno did, and acknowledged him with a thumbs up. But then GORE GORE GORE!!! Austin gets Gored as well. The ref gets up, sees Rhyno standing over both men, and calls for a no contest. ***1/4, 88% Overall

Rhyno administers a continued beatdown to both guys as everyone wonders what the hell is going on, except one man: Paul Heyman. Heyman gets up from the commentary table and explains to the world what is happening. He says that he doesn't feel right talking about WWF vs. WCW. He mentions that Rhyno was the last ever ECW Champion...and he felt completely left out of this whole WWF vs. WCW rivalry.

Heyman continued by saying there are a lot of WWF AND WCW guys who feel the same way. And the bottom line is, they are all gonna join Heyman and Rhyno in E......C......W.

So yeah, its now become a 3-way feud...the way it should have been all along. If you'll notice, most of the ECW alumni were absent from this card...and they will all be joining this new entity.
