The Bullet Club branding did seem a lot less in your face during Invasion Attack than it has in the past. Though that might just be because of Gallows/Anderson not being there.

I don't think the Guerillas of Destiny wore any BC stuff out to the ring and Bucks/Omega had on their The Elite gear.

So is the 1997 ECW Invasion one of the best short angles WWE ever did?

The actual interaction with ECW on Raw was short, but they got so much mileage out of it.

WWE got RVD and ECW got plenty of work with Jerry Lawler.

It was a real win win.

Shame that backstage stuff apparently killed further ECW involvement on Raw.

Why did this Yoshiko jerk beat her up? (I googled Act.)

To this day no one outside of those two really knows. One of the creepiest mysteries left in wrestling tbh

This. Its a mystery. There was some real heat between them for some reason and Yoshiko just straight up crossed lines that everyone knows you dont. Act had suffered medical issues with her eye since she was a little girl and dreamed of being a samurai. She learned kendo and was crushed to find people could no long aspire to becoming samurai and somehow ended up near wrestling. Just to compete she had to take drugs for her health that guaranteed she would become infertile just to perform and she did it anyways to find a means to live out a samurai dream in the ring. She put everything out there despite her disability and even turned her blindness into part of her character. She had just received eye surgery when the Yoshiko stuff went down to finally get sight in her eye.

The eye was purposely targeted by Yoshiko and she crushed Act's face in the ring by beating her head until it shattered. Act had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery because Yoshiko literally seemed like she was attempting murder. Not just assault, but straight up trying to kill.

Yoshiko was banned from wrestling after this. Act Yasukawa eventually had to leave wrestling after only a few short years in which time she had become a top performer and champion. Her life story is one that will likely make a ton of money over the years in film and television dramas. She inspired a lot of people with how much she gave.

That reverse suplex that people thought injured AJ looked nasty. Looked like his boot snagged on the turnbuckle on the way over it.

The reports made it seem like they rushed to the ending roll-up right after that but they didn't.
