I'm a younger fan (20) so I didn't get to live through the Vince Russo Eras, was he just a meme or do people (besides mega autists like Jim Cornette) really fucking hate this dude?

Smarks will never give him the credit he is deserved and Cornette refused to fight him a few years ago

Made WCW unwatchable, made TNA unwatchable. Was a small part of a team when writing for WWF, which was also bad but was at least popular.

His track record speaks for itself.

Gave WWF and TNA their highest ratings ever.

WCW was a shitshow before and after him.

Russo was a God among fans during the attitude era and when he went to WCW, many of them thought WWE was finished. It was during his failure in WCW that he was exposed.

Russo was great when he had Vince McMahon around to filter out his bullshit and vice versa. They needed each other. It is no wonder that the creative side of wrestling went down the toilet when this dynamic duo broke up.

Cornette threatened to send his fans to Russos home. Russos brother loaned him a shotgun to protect himself from the sweatys and Russo ended up getting a prevention order on Cornette.

Because his booking was shit and dimeless and almost bankrupted WWF in 1996. Then Russo came in and actually produced dimes.

Then he did it again in TNA a decade later lmao.

Russo is not a mark and doesn't give a single shit about wrestling "history" or "tradition", so he was always hated for his trash-tv drama style of booking, however he saved WWF's from getting absolutely fucking destroyed by WCW in a time in which no one knew what to do because Vince kept doing retarded shit.

After that it gets cloudy but his impact in the industry is impossible to deny, without him there wouldn't have been a SCSA or a The Rock, but all the marks and small fry talk shit about him because it hurts their pride like nothing else than some failure tv booker made wrestling a national phenomena.

He was definitely part of the puzzle that made WWF popular but he was the main piece that destroyed WCW and later hurt TNA twice.

His WCW shows were absolutely terrible with constant run-in's, interference, hotshotting, intergender stuff, shoot terms and bad finishes.
