Pro wrestling wasn't even successful before Vince Russo came along, Hogan was like the only thing people gave a shit about before him. The pro wrestling literally just got lucky that someone with common sense like Vince Russo came along and got it record ratings.

Adding on to this Vince Russo simply appeals to the common denominator, people like Jim Cornette or Dave Meltzer or even Vince McMahon look at wrestling through a biased lens and want it done in a way that they personally like, whereas Vince Russo just knows that the average person likes to watch dramatic moments and controversial storylines, pro wrestling is literally just a type of medium to manifest those things through.

Yeah, that proves my point if anything, how many casual fans search for Vince Russo content on youtube? How many casual fans even fucking know who Vince Russo is? You people seriously live in your echo chambers, ask your average person who has watched wrestling if they know about the SCSA/Mr.McMahon rivalry, Kane/Undertaker story, DX, etc and they will all say yes, then ask them if they know who wrote that stuff and none of them will fucking know, because the average person doesn't give a shit about that.

Because, aside from TV dying year after year, Vince killed the business by making the product PG and then shoving Super Cena and babyface Roman down everyone's throat and cut the legs out from anyone who got too over. (Tribal Chief is dimes, though)
Russo was just copying what was popular at the time and completely shit the bed in WCW. He got lucky.

Dirtsheet headcanon.
Russo's run was only about three months and in that time the numbers went up a whole point, the old guard were being featured less and the younger talent were finally getting showcased.

Russo knows exactly what people want but his problem is his ability to actually deliver what people what want is hit and miss as fuck.

>another retard blaming Russo for WCW's failure
How does this narrative still exist? I don't get it. Hogan's ego, Nash's ego, Bischoff's ego, AOL Time-Warner merger, all of them were way worse than Russo's writing.
