The Invasion - The Invasion was a professional wrestling storyline in the WWF that began shortly after the WWF's purchase of WCW. The only major WCW talents willing to wrestle for less money were Diamond Dallas Page (who was put into an unpopular storyline with The Undertaker that irked many of his longtime fans) and Booker T (who more or less retained his previous gimmick and remains with WWE to this day). Through developments such as the nWo and the Montreal Screwjob, fans would continually compare the two promotions against each other, and the Internet Wrestling Community was full of debate as to which of the two was superior. psychcentral.com /psypsych/The_Invasion   (2068 words)

[slash] Wrestling [slash] Awards [slash] General Comments MATT SPAULDING: Well, 2001 began with the end of the wrestling boom, continued with the fadeout of ECW and the purchase of WCW by the WWF, and ended with a disappointing invasion angle being brought to a close. JEREMY SORIA: The year 2001 was a very significant year for wrestling.

ECW Gets Chance At New Life - from TBO.com It was a classic moment in the history of professional wrestling that night in March 2001 when World Wrestling Federation owner Vince McMahon appeared on TV at the opening of WCW Monday Nitro to announce he had bought the Atlanta-based World Championship Wrestling, then his major competition. An ''invasion'' angle - which pitted wrestling talent from WCW and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), another dead-in-the-water wrestling franchise, against the WWF - had gotten off to a good start but was fast dying on the vine. But within a few months, what had appeared to be a steady ship for the McMahons, as the dominant leaders in professional wrestling promotion, began to veer off course. sports.tbo.com /sports/MGBRABVIR9E.html   (978 words)

World Wrestling Entertainment Information Professional wrestling is "simulated" in the sense that the outcomes are predetermined, the maneuvers rehearsed and executed cooperatively, and their effects upon the opponent exaggerated. While professional wrestling moved increasingly to fixed matches during the late-1800s and early 1900s, for most of the 20th century professional wrestling was promoted as a legitimate sport. While general knowledge to most wrestling fans, this admission broke the final taboo of the old ways of wrestling, and earned McMahon much ire among old-school fans, wrestlers, and promoters, who were already incensed at McMahon for his invasion into long-held NWA territories. world.wrestling.entertainment.en.ogarnij.net   (11871 words)

The Wrestling Follower ATLANTA (AP) -- Former professional wrestling executive Eric Bischoff testified Tuesday that he and his wife once left the Gold Club with a stripper and he later watched while the two women had sex in a hotel room.

World Almanac for Kids While the Continental Congress in Philadelphia began to think seriously of declaring the independence of the colonies from Great Britain, Washington in New York was wrestling with the problems of preparing to resist a British invasion, which this time was sure to be made in great force.
