>>10638951Because his entire schtick was talking about how wrestling needs to move beyond being a carnival sideshow and be "real" and respectable and cool to mainstream america and yet here are some of the gimmicks he came up with as a booker
>A porn star who wrestles on the side>An alcoholic drug addict who wants to kill himself>A fat ass nymphomaniac black guy who has sex with senior citizens and trannys>A southern good ol' boy misogynist who beats women for fun>A construction worker who is secretly gayAnd this isn't even getting into his "character development" like Goldust going from a bisexua spousal abuser, to a misunderstood mentally ill tortured soul, to a born again christian, and then into an eccentric weirdo again all in the span of like 4 months.
The fact is that Russo is actually a giant fucking nerd who watches trash tv, and shitty sci-fi movies, unironically wears trenchcoats and shades and thinks he looks badass, and still has the mentality of a 14 year old who thinks saying fuck and jerking off is the peak of human existence. His actual personality is the "Hello fellow kids" guy who still despite being 50 fucking years old desperately tries to appeal to the same teenagers who used to beat him up in high school so he can pretend he's cool and hip now
