    I loved the "NWA Invasion" in WWF angle of 1998. I couldn't get enough of it. I even had my buddy tape "Shotgun Saturday Night" so that I could see it. I had been done watching the WWF's programming (for years) until the NWA Invasion angle made me a regular viewer again. I stopped watching the WWF again after the NWA and Severn left, and I have never started watching that promotion's new material again. I also thought that the New Midnight Express were good NWA World tag team champions.

BTW I never said corny was a perfect booker. Every booker ever had had bad ideas but Russo was the drizzling shits. I used to be hardcore rasslin fan but it's LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to watch whole episodes of WCW from October 99 to October 2000. And I didn't think it was possible but TNA in 2003 was worst.

    I didn’t mind the NWA angle that much at the time, as honestly, the presentation sounds about as competent as a Crash TV era WWF angle can be when you break it down and analyze it. Even then you basically knew they weren’t trying to present the group as a threat to Austin, but like a lot of Attitude era stuff, it sounds like something that if you took it out of the context of that loaded show and put on TV in today’s climate would probably have a better result because of the way the show is structured. Back then, it was all short matches and onto the next angle.
    Agreed they totally dropped the ball on Severn. I could see him and Corny working in a Brock/Heyman like way if they showed a bit of restraint with him.

Cornette and Midnight Express were cool heels, Cornette did his all to help his team win, and that horrific looking fall off the scaffold against the Road Warriors (in 96 I believe, so I was 10 or 11) REALLY made me respect Cornette even more at such a young age. Aside from The Brain, Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart, the Grand Wizard and Captain Lou which were in the WWF/WWE, Cornette was the VERY FIRST performer/manager that DIDN'T work with WWE that I ABSOLUTELY looked forward to see on EVERY show EVERY week... His intensity, mic skills, tenacity, and overall aura, has made me a fan of Cornette's since the first time I saw him, which was the early 80's since I was born in 75... Long live Cornette.... BTW, IF Russo outlives you, Cornette, I WILL PISS/SHIT on Russo's grave for you, as long as I'M still alive!!! I give you my word!!!! I'm embarrassed to know he's from NYC, we're not ALL Cornette!!! Lol idc how old i am, if I'm able to EVEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR start a wrestling company, Cornette (and Heyman) would be the guys I leave in charge, mostly Corvette considering how he and I agree on so many things about today's product!!!
