March 26, 2001
This was the night that Vince McMahon announced the purchase of World Championship Wrestling.. Vince opened up Monday Night Raw, looking gleefully into the camera, and proudly announced that he had done the impossible, and purchased his competition. As Vince, for the first time ever, appeared on both Monday Night Raw, and Monday Night Nitro, the entire world of professional wrestling changed as we knew it. What soon followed was the beginning of the most heavily anticipated storyline, in recent history. The idea of World Championship Wrestling versus the World Wrestling Federation became a reality when Shane McMahon made a surprise appearance in Florida, at Monday Night Nitro. Shane soon told the world that he had in fact purchased WCW, not his father. Shane then promised his father that just like in the past WCW was going to kick WWF’s ass. However, in the weeks following things died down. The excitement of the whole situation, although still high, remained lackluster at best. Soon ECW came into the picture, and the wrestling world was buzzing at the idea of ECW versus WCW versus WWF. However, that ended while on the same show where ECW was re-birthed, The Alliance was born. This faction consisted of both ECW and WCW stars, being led by Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, and Paul Heyman. Soon Stone Cold was turned heel and put into the faction, Christian joined the Alliance, and The Rock was WCW champion. Things began to dwindle, and the reality of the failed storyline soon began to show. It was known that Vince McMahon had completely dropped the ball with most potentially filled storyline ever, and people weren’t about to let him forget it. However… what if things were to have happened differently? Could it have all worked out for the better in the end?

February 2001 --------- Rumors begin to circulate that Ted Turner is looking to sell off the assets of WCW. Fusient shows interest, but soon bails out at the last minute. This soon leads to Vince McMahon and his team to come on in and buy WCW from Ted Turner, along with all of WCW exclusive contracts.
1Wrestling.com-Apparently with the new purchasing of WCW, Vince McMahon is looking to also buy out the contracts of some of the Time-Warner exclusive talent. It's no secret who some of those talents are. It'll be interesting to see if McMahon goes through with this, to bring in some of the big names to WWF.
Extreme Warfare BattlegroundHeelTurn - "So, I'm supposed to believe that Shane McMahon is about to feud with his father, thus starting WCW versus WWF? Does Vince seriously think fans are dumb enough to believe that the two companies will really be feuding?"
Vince Russo - "Don't get hyped. After weeks of seeing Sean O'Haire vesus Steve Richards, this thing will flop. Sure, it has the ability to entertaining, and quite successful, but this IS the WWF we're talking about."
Small Blue: "Woooooooo! Sting in WWF? AWESOME!~@ We finially get to see Goldberg versus Steve Austin! WOOOOOOOO!"

Yes, but Hollywood demands sequels and thus it got one or in this case two. And Beatnik, at least we all remember Ms. Wilson as the teacher from Billy Madison.
I'm an idiot.
