Not to that level, and maybe not to the level of the big WWE names, but as someone who never watched WCW or ECW, RVD and Booker T were treated as several levels above every other new face in the Alliance and I saw them as the two worth caring about in that group. The writing was on the wall for Booker the moment they had Steve Austin lead WCW instead of him. By the time he started tagging with Test I knew they weren’t taking him serious any time soon. Van Dam was a different matter, he’d won at Invasion, he’d won at SummerSlam, he’d won at Unforgiven and genuinely just seemed pushed as a star immediately, and not just when wrestling midcarders. A few mates and I all thought there was a chance he might win the belt at No Mercy just to really shuffle the deck and delay the (seemingly obvious) Austin vs Rock match without having to rely on Angle too much and continue the Alliance dissent angle, but it wasn’t to be. Turning Kurt was daft in the manner they did which involved telling the story they wanted to but reverting him to his natural heel state by turning him three times in three weeks. Never forget kids, that the big Invasion of the WWF by WCW essentially boiled down to Rock & Jericho vs Austin & Angle, to determine whether Vince or his kids were the winners. Absolute bollocks.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 24, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 24, 2021 Halloween Havoc 2000 had one. The Boogie Knights Vs Rey & Kidman Vs Jindrak & O'Haire.
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 24, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 24, 2021 I'm pleased I don't remember.
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 24, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 24, 2021 It really is too many moving parts to keep track of, unless it was tornado rules.
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 24, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 24, 2021 It's not just that. Disco Inferno, Alex Wright and Jindrak and O'Haire. All crammed into no time at all I'd imagine. Poor old Rey and Kidman having to navigate around those bellends.
wordsfromlee Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 I remember him coming back for that awful apology match with Vince but I forgot this happened too.

Jackpot Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 I know his match with Booker T on RAW is wrestling folklore for all the wrong reasons but it amazes me that was the only match Bagwell had in the WWF.

He was also a commentator on nxt under the name Jason Alberts. I believe he might’ve been doing comms around the same time as Renee Young was with Tom Phillips.
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 25, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2021 I can't imagine it would have been good for business if your interviewer looks bigger than the guy he's interviewing though.

I knew that Regal commentated on NXT at one point, but Albert's spell as a commentator totally passed me by.
