    This article about Christian Wrestling is appearing on the front page of the Buffalo News today. I find it funny that with the WWF appearing tonight, that they chose to write about this.

    Article on The Undertaker's wife Sara: "Fun while it lasts". The article says Sara is 24 years old, so when The Undertaker made his WWF debut Sara was like 14? That's kinda weird.

    The "TV" link on WCW.com originally linked to a non-working page that had "Nitro" in the address, it now links to Smackdown! results.

    There were no injuries at Invasion last night.

    Steve Austin is expected to work a very light schedule this week. Expect minimum physical action out of him.

    Rob Van Dam is over more in the locker room after last night although there are still a few critics who are not accepting him.

    Judging from last night at Invasion it appears that Kurt Angle and Booker T will work a feud that will culminate at Summer Slam.

    I attended Invasion last night and all I can say is, what a show! This was my
    first ever live wrestling show, and I enjoyed it a lot. My seats were on the
    floor, 14 rows back from the ring. You could see clear as day if no one was
    standing up in front of you. The people behind me went up and talked to Ellis
    Burkes, which was pretty cool. They said he was a nice guy. When my friend
    and I arrived, we got on Sunday Night Heat along with about 20 other people
    and had a HUGE "ECW" chant going.

    Match of the Night:
    Rob Van Dam vs Jeff Hardy

    Best Heat:
    1.) X-Pac. (People were shouting "X-Pac Sucks!" during his match, as well as
    after it.)
    2.) Pretty much every ECWCW guy
    3.) Stone Cold (after he swerved)

    Biggest Pop:
    1.) Stone Cold (before he swerved)
    2.) Angle
    3.) RVD

    Show, Gunn, & Albert vs Kanyon, Stasiak, & Morrus was the worst match with
    crowd heat. We were so dead during that match. The person next to me started
    yelling "Goldberg" which was pretty funny.

    Funniest Thing Heard:
    "Undertaker bumps like Darryl!" (From tough enough)

    After Invasion went off air:
    Nothing much happened. After Paul, Steph, Shane, and Austin drank beer they
    walked up the ramp. Stephanie, Shane, and Paul went through ECWCW's door, and
    Austin headed to WWF's. He stopped, and then went through ECWCW's. The WWF
    boys got up and left to Angle's music.

    All in all, a great show! I'm very glad I went.

    I was at Invasion last night and the crowd was pretty
    hot the whole night. It seemed like everyone got great
    pops or boos. It said it was sold out but I saw a lot
    of empty seats. I'm not sure when the ppv stopped for
    those ordering it, but when Heyman, Stephanie, and
    Shane went to the WCW entrance, Austin started to go
    to the WWF one but went back to ECWCW. After they left
    everyone laid in the ring, then when Angle got up the
    crowd cheered and his music played. When Christian
    tried to jump over the ropes and got caught, the crowd
    started a "You f'd up" chant. Everyone was hot for the
    RVD vs. Jeff Hardy match, but no one I was with knew
    about the six-man tag with Billy Gunn, the Big Show,
    and everyone.

    It is strongly rumored that The Rock may return tonight and side with Vince McMahon to counter Steve Austin. Other rumors are if Rock does not return tonight that he will return at Smackdown or next week's Raw. It is widely known that Rock is done with his work on the Skorpion King and is just waiting for the perfect return. Most are in agreement that now is the perfect time. This would also be the reason that Austin turned, so it could set up for a possible Rock vs Austin main event at Summer Slam.
