>>19851429>The Rock: "Russo was a yes man to whatever I said so I like him!Wow groundbreaking
>Foley: "Some of Russo's ideas didn't work but he made my fatass a star so I like him"Wow groundbreaking
>Angle: "Dixie Carter was a great boss-"That's enough from him.
No fucking shit the people that Russo pushed like him.
>>19851978>Why did ratings tank within a year of Russo leaving?Simply not true, they continued to be high after 1999 and only began to drop towards the end of 2000. If you actually think the sole reason for the Attitude Era was Vinnyru and not Austin, Rock, Mr. McMahon, Montreal, DX, and interest from the Monday Night War then you are simply delusional.
>Why did the company continue to milk the angles and characters he created for the next 25+ years?Give one example
>Why were they unable to ever replicate that level of success again without him?Because wrestling has been declining ever since because of the business being exposed.
Vince Russo had a SINGLE good contribution to the WWF which was making it more relatable and contemporary by giving McMahon ideas. He accelerated the death of WCW and held TNA back for years after JJ wasn't filtering him. He has been successful for maybe 4 years over the past 30. Everybody who actually knows about the business and isn't a self-mark (Rock) says that he's a clueless dipshit who knows nothing about wrestling. He has only done good for the business when McMahon and JJ were making sure that he didn't stink shit up.
