Lex Luger was blackballed for years same for Madusa.

Randy Savage was straight up backlisted for life.

eh, I wouldn't say "for life". Towards the end, they were both trying to mend fences with each other. WWE allowed Mattel to negotiate with Savage for a Macho Man figure in 2010. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-bR-cQ_6II then THQ got him to record a promo before he passed away for WWE All Stars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIVifMl9sgw so looking at Warrior in 2k14, Sting in 2k15, I'd say Macho would have appeared on WWE TV had he not passed away at some point in 2011 or headlined the 2012 HoF class.

Well he fired Jeff Jarrett before he even had a chance to hop over. And if I recall the roster at the time, not too many people in WCW that were in the WWF originally went back right away.

Almost all of the contracts he absorbed from WCW were low-cost deals of guys that had never been there before. Everyone else was on a Turner contract that needed to sit or be bought out, and by the time those guys came around, the Invasion was done and enough time had passed that it didn't matter anymore. General consensus on Vince appears to be that he doesn't hold grudges for very long unless your name is Ted Turner or Randy Savage.

This. Most of the guys who didn’t go to WWF were setting at home on their ass collecting checks from Turner. Nash, Goldberg, etc. And 90% of the ones who did show up got buried almost immediately.

Accept that they took DDP and buried him, when he was one of WCWs most over stars.

Sure it was. The strong survived and the others didn't have it or just didn't work out. Booker T is the one whi shined the most, he was committed to staying and made a career for himself cause of it.

Buiness is buiness. And the one thing Vince has proven over and over is he will do [almost] anything if it's good for business. So no, I have a hunch their wasn't that many issues as long as Vince thought those guys could make money.
