IIRC, you couldn't counter the wrath once the instant is played (at least as of say 1998-ish rules interpretation).

I play Wrath. I can counter now, or let it resolve. You play instant effect. I can counter, but can't counter the wrath anymore. I'm pretty sure that's how it worked.

This is how messy it was. That could have been correct at some point. Instants and Interrupts, batches and windows were all way too much of a mess.
