WWF had an option to buy those contracts, Vince just chose not to.

According to Bruce it was up to the superstars

Shit, they jumped straight from the Buff match to the invasion before over.

Yep. And he knew since he no longer had any competition, that he can wait on those guys until their contracts ended. They had nowhere else to go.

To take lesser deals. DDP and Booker and I believe Buff exercised their right to collect the AOL money and signed to WWE for deals Vince was comfortable with, like 30% of what they'd have gotten for sitting at home. McMahon though could have bought the actual AOL contracts and taken up their burden to pay the talent the money that was left on those contracts. Vince didn't want to do that, Bruce even just said that in this doc. He said they didn't think it was reasonable to pay that kind of money. Which is a dumb point when Vince bought WCW for like 2 million dollars.

Exactly. He figured they'd eventually come to WWF and he'd be able to pay them less and he was right.

I did like the nWo in WWE, but I do wish they won one of their Mania matches and didn't fizzle out after that.

WWE purposely trying to shit on their edginess in retrospect to make their decision to go PG more acceptable.

Look Billy and Chuck was GOAT lol

The OG Draft was amazing.

Billy and Chuck were goats.

Well the crowd completely fell in love with Hogan again

And Scott Hall kept drinking

And Kevin Nash injured himself 68434 times.

The OG split was great until the PG Era and not because of the rating, but that's when they stopped making the brands seem different. For 6 years though, Raw and SD actually felt like separate shows.
