Had Trips not been injured during that tag title match with Y2J/Benoit in 2001, would the whole Invasion angle have still happened? And if it did, would he had sided with the WWE? I would thing since he was still "married" to Stephanie he would have sided with her. Thoughts?

Invasion was happening no matter what. The rumour is that HHH would turn on Austin and Steph and side with the WWF, turning face. I could have easily seen him joining the Alliance with Austin though.

I could see Trips taking Kurt Angle's spot as the "second big defection to the alliance when we totally shit the bed making them look effective". guy was too effective a heel at the time for an extended face run.

Yeah, as has been said, the whole idea would've been Austin heading the Alliance and HHH heading the WWF, which makes no sense to me considering HHH is the big fan of the old school NWA and WCW, so it'd make more sense the other way around, but then again, nothing about that angle was the right way around.

The Invasion would of been pushed back, not until after summerslam, as The Rock was meant to get his revenge on the two man power trip in some form at Summerslam. They moved the Invasion forward since there was no summer program anymore with Trips injured. And maybe KOTR would of had Hunter Vs Benoit, and Jericho face Austin for the title, or maybe 4 way for the title. There is no way HHH would not be in a big match at KOTR.

Being the "unpredictable" character that he was, I have no doubt he joined the Alliance for absolutely no reason. Booker T gets bumped off Survivor Series.

It would've built to Austin vs Triple H at Summerslam, with the WCW invasion starting the following night.

He would have gotten Kane's spot on team WWF, most likely.

If you look at WM X8, there's a lot of WCW/ECW vs. WWF matches on that card, so I'm assuming that the Invasion was intended to start and end much later than it actually did, encompassing the nWo along the way.

Would have sided with the WWF and obliterated the Alliance even quicker than the WWF already did.

If they moved the Invasion back to August it could have been a bit better. I mean they could have started out with the WCW roster they used anyway then they would have had Flair join in November which would extend the length of the storyline well in to the next year, then in Febuary the NWO would come in then they could either end it at Mania (the logical point) or keep it running till April and have the brand split with WCW being one of the brands. |
