I had no idea they teamed up. And since when was Haku part of the WCW Invasion? I know they were doing an 'Invasion' in their developmental territories, but they couldn't have done that on WWE TV at the time? Haku being part of the Alliance would have been gold, maybe as Austin's enforcer to the Alliance. And a shame we didn't get Steve Blackman vs Haku here, they only encountered each other but not in a fight.

I remember seeing Haku as one of the WWF guys who were chasing after Booker T on his first couple of appearances but didn't know he was part of the Alliance.

Haku's 2001 run was odd.

He wins the WCW Hardcore Title at Sin and bails to the WWF a week later still champion. He then tags with Rikishi to face The Undertaker and Kane and actually gets a cage match with them on Raw. I think he just got sent to development because he just turned 42 and I felt like they didn't think he could go on the same level as a Rock, Austin, or Triple H, and so after Rikishi gets injured, he just became another guy and its understandable given the WWF's inclination to youth.

Today he would be on the active roster, 40 really was a death sentence in wrestling.
