Has anything actually been confirmed to have been a Vince Russo idea that wasn't complete fucking trash?

Sorry I meant to say July because:
>that's when the attitude era finale happened (pic related)
>Triple H's megapush, while obnoxious, had not started to ruin the show until September
(Sorry Rockfans)

He was unironically kino in TNA. He was at his most greasiest and sleazy as a character, his promos with Mike Tenay were dimes

I’ve heard various wrestlers praise him because he will include every wrestler on the roster in some sort of storyline or angle. Whether those storylines are good or not is a different matter though but he at least makes an attempt to use everyone so they have something.

I’m still waiting for someone to list a “bad” Russo storyline. He knew how to get people talking, he played to the strength of talent, and we are STILL discussing my ideas decades later, so I think he knew what he was doing.

Vince McMahon was paying him a lot of money to be head writer. What the fuck do you think he was paying him for? I know Alvarez likes to make up literal headcanon like all of the bad ideas were Russo's, and all of the good ideas were McMahon's, but that's not reality

The Rock/Foley "This Is Your Life" segment was Russo's idea, and it earned an 8.4 rating, the highest rated RAW segment when head-to-head against WCW Nitro.

He was the right guy in the right place at the right time. He can't do it outside of the context of late 90s trash TV, but in that context, there was nobody better, baby.
