>>16216943WCW failed because after 6+ years of spending infinity dollars they never once ever posted a profit.
Eric thought that pushing '80s talent to the moon would work despite it never working once.
Hogan would rather tank a company then put anyone over ever (and did, at least twice), and him leaving WWF was the best move that ever happened to Vince McMahon.
Russo was a great booker and writer that got wrestling during the 90's but his style is very dated in hindsight.
Corny is a dinosaur that has never once made anyone any money but he knows so much about wrestling that everyone thinks he SHOULD make money so he keeps getting work. And then he eventually gets fired because he's a violent, crazy, maniac that will ruin your business.
Russo is being vindicated now because once the audience realizes wrestling is actually a TV show, and not some kind of scam/con/work, then anyone that's willing to talk about wrestling like a TV show starts to make sense, and Carnies all sound like old losers.
Smarks are and have always been the worst possible audience for anything ever and I'm including AEW fans and Funkopop Reddit Star Wars people.
