Pretty much every single one of the guys who came over from WCW for the "Invasion" was buried from day 1. Backstage polictics came into play as estabilshed mid-card WWE guys didn't want to lose their spots to the new guys. So all the BS started about how this guy is a bad worker or that guy is dangerous or those guys have a bad attitude.
Add to that you've none of WCW's star names ie guys fans associated with WCW (Sting, Flair, Bischoff etc) were nowhere to be seen and that every WCW guy was jobbed out to guys at the bottom of the WWE chain effectivly killed the angle before it started.
DDP was a prime example of this. The stalker angle could really have worked. The night it was revealed to be DDP the roof came off the building (check a certain video sharing site). But as taker wouldn't job to DDP(as he should have to make the story line work ie DDP wins early in the feud and it builds up to a climax where taker beats him clean and everyone lives happily ever after). So DDP got his ass kicked every time they met. Hell he even got pinned by takers wife!!
And just a subnote to that. Have you seen DDP's wife? Why he'd stalker taker's bird when he's got her is one of wrestling's great mysteries
