>>10739567I also don't want to defend Russo. But, WCW was going down before he even got there. Sure, he probably put the final nails in the coffin, but the Turner Warner merger officially killed WCW. It wasn't Russo.
Tony on the other hand started a company with unlimited funds, caters to a small audience of super smarks who desperately wanted an alternative to WWE, and never has to worry about drawing money. Ever. It's all a vanity project. He's able to grab every single non WWE star because he pays them so much. Russo was just a writer, he couldn't go and hire whoever the fuck he wanted like Tony can.
They're both completely dogshit in their own ways, but nothing Tony has done has been impressive. Russo has done more harm to wrestling than maybe anyone else, but Tony really could have made a difference and he failed tremendously. Now we're just sitting here waiting until his dad gets sick of him burning his money.
