I think all of those were beuing used as submission finishers in WCW at the time (before it went under).
As to why the match sucked, it's been said- they needed something truly specail, and instead we got a snoozefest. And instead of building up WCW, the WWE guys beat the shit out of the WCW guys at the end.
Vince should have spent the money to buy out the big names and get them on the show. Instead, Flair shows up THE DAY AFTER the invasion storyline ends, th nWo shortly thereafter, then a few years later came Steiner, then Goldberg, and now a lot of the old WCW big names are under the WWE Legends deal, like Dusty Rhodes.
