No, it was just made to seem like they said it was the first time ever. They didn't. I was bored and felt the need to clarify. You're absolutely right, it doesn't matter.
On July 9 on Raw, Kane was scheduled to face Mike Awesome and Lance Storm in a handicap match.Chris Jericho came out and offered to be Kane's partner, thus turning it into a tag team match.Near the end of the match, Jericho applied the Walls of Jericho on Lance Storm. As the move was being applied, however, Rob Van Dam and Tommy Dreamer ran through the audience and into the ring and started to beat on Kane and Jericho. In response, WWF wrestlers consisting of The Dudley Boyz, Tazz, Justin Credible, Rhyno, and Raven (all former ECW wrestlers) ran to the ring. After a brief stand-off, the WWF cavalry turned around and attacked Kane and Jericho. This prompted Paul Heyman to leave the announce table and enter the ring. After high-fiving the wrestlers, he announced that ECW has been brought into the Invasion. Heyman talked about how tired he was sitting beside Jim Ross and discussing WCW vs. WWF, stating that he felt that everyone had forgotten about ECW and announced, "This Invasion just got taken to the extreme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As we were filming, I realized that we were doing something very special. Something that had never been done before. It felt empowering.
