| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | For the morons and the mentally retarded, here is a little help.quote: I personally don't think he is that bad, within reason as Vince gives the final ok. Who would you rather have Heyman and Russo as the writers or Stephanie. When he worked for the WWF, he was a good writer. It is only when he went to WCW he became shit and gave himself and David Arquette the title. Betcha the Hulkster has to be happy about this one, since Russo's shoot interview on Hogan. BTW: Hell would have frozen over if Bret hart returns.  This message was edited by TeenWeek on 6-20-02 @ 11:33 AM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | quote:That's who I initially thought it was before I read the second reply. I don't know, I mean at this point, can he really take anything away from the current creative writing they've got going on? I say let him loose and see what he does. Right now the WWE needs all the help it can get - and The Rock can't be the answer to everything.  You can reach me through AIM or email. I really don't give a fuck as to which one you use.

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | You know, Leaking Nipples, I'm starting to get the impression here that you're being sarcastic and you actually think Vince Russo sucks. Just a hunch. That said, your attempts at sarcasm are rather lame. You need to work on your smartassedness, cuz one Beaver Cleavage line just ain't smartassy enough. Oh, and, on the topic of his return, at least the other Vince can control him, because we've all seen him when he's not under control, and that ain't pretty. Just please, no more Mark Henry feeling up transvestites, ok? 1. 94 Wins and the NL East title 2. Hate the Braves with a passion. 3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year 4. Mets win the World Series | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | On estoryline, I hope they bring up his hatred for HUlk Hogan. That was the most talked about things at the end of WCW. It would make for a good angle and storyline. He should show up at King of the Ring during the Angle and Hogan match. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | Now I finish typing the things I don't want Vince Russo to do, and TW just pointed out the other thing: NO VINCE RUSSO AS A CHARACTER. PLEASE! DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES MAKE THIS IDIOT BECOME AN ON SCREEN CHARACTER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!! And, TW, seeing as two people watched WCW when that instance happened, I think that'd be a terrible storyline, IMO, because none of the fans would know what the hell they're talking about. Hell, 95% of the audience has little or no idea what really happened with Austin, never mind about this. Plus, it inevitably would have to lead to a Hogan v. Russo match. No, really. Read that sentence back. Ok? Now take that thought out of your mind, you're too bright to come up with foolish ideas as such. 1. 94 Wins and the NL East title 2. Hate the Braves with a passion. 3.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | He can manage Angle and not have to wrestle. he can say how Angle is a real wrestler. he is what wrestling is all about. He can say what a joke Hogan is and he shold just die. There is someway he will show up on camera and if he does, this would be the only angle that would work for him and has a chance at being entertaining. If the fans don't remember, they have the footage, just replay clips of it. Yes, I agree he should not be on camera, but if he does and look how stephanie booked herself on tv all the time, can you think of a better storyline for him.

| Psychopath Registered: May. 02 | quote: mmmmm hot mom incest. yum. Russo had some great storylines and some bad ones. its hit and miss, and with the shape wwE is in i wouldnt even mind if Russo came out and worked an angle with Angle vs Hogan. though his NY accent is annoying at times. i hope he reforms the coporate ministry with Bishoff as head figure next to Undertaker! and no thats not sarcasm | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01 | [sarcasm]If I was being sarcastic, I would have used the sarcasm tags.[/sarcasm] Seriously though, I can't wait until they bring back Oklahoma and the Maestro and form the NEW Hollywood Blondes. Then they could bring back SCSA and he could steal Jarrett's old women-beating gimmick since he's been practicing. And, of course, who could go one more minute without Booker T going back to his classic "GI Bro" gimmick. THAT was classic! And maybe, now that Russo is back, they can FINALLY finish up that GTV angle. See, ITS GONNA BE GREAT!!!!!! :) :-D :-p :) ;) :-p :) :-D :-p :) ;) :-p :) :-D :-p But, REALLY seriously. Is anyone else scared at the WWE's recent resmblance to old WCW? First, to fix struggling ratings, they bring in the NWO. Then, they turn Hulk face. Wrestlers backstage aren't happy. One actually walks out. And now, with their lowest ratings in quite awhile, they turn to Russo? The demise of WWE is imminent. This message was edited by Leaking Nipples on 6-20-02 @ 2:20 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | They are a long way from the demise of WCW. They have gotten flat for the most part but they are still the best out there and the NWA PPV proved that. WCW put jobbers in the NWO. The WWE put HBK in. The crowd was the reason Hogan turned face. Everyone wanted to cheer him and he does not have that much time left. Vince wanted to send Hogan out on his retirement tour wiht the fans on his side. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | God damn it, why couldn't they get Bischof instead of him. Bischof took a lousy company, and made it great. Russo screwed over the WWF, took over WCW and made it a freakin joke. Why the hell would you hire someone who dicked you over and drove another company into the ground instead of a guy who took water and made it into wine and has not done anything against you besides from running a competing company that hired him? | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01 | Looks like Ferret forgot his sarcasm tags. At least I hope so. As much as I'd love to see KISS and Master P in the WWE, as well as those lovely Tonight Show parodies, I just don't think Bischoff is right for WWE. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 02 | Here's the deal with Russo. He is a talented writer and booker who unfortunately lacks the ability to censor himself. For every great angle he came up with, there were some that sucked. Vince McMahon knew this, and kept a close eye on what he put out. He censored out alot of the shitty angles Russo came up with. The reason he failed in WCW? Two things. He had wrestlers in the company that were unwilling to do things his way and openly undermined his authority (see Hogan, Goldberg, ect...) He had nobody there to filter out the bad ideas for him. As great a writer as he can be, he is flawed in that he lacks the ability to take a step back from his own ideas and objectively evaluate them. That said, because he is biased towards his own ideas he fights tooth and nail for them, which is a good thing. BTW: Not all of Russo's ideas were awful. He is the man who put the belt on Booker T for the first time, after the public's desire for a main event push for him had been ignored for so long. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jun. 02 | i agree with diamond dust, making russo a character will really turn the wwf into wcw. Plus hogan would never work an angle with russo. i am really fuckin surprised hogan isnt at his throat, otherwise i think it's better to have an experienced writer like russo doing the writing than some billionaire princess cum dumpster i admire your honesty, hell i like you, you can come over to my house and fuck my sister | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 01 | quote: I'll take choice C - none of the above. quote: No, that's not entirely true. Russo was ALWAYS horrible. Unless you thought Crash TV was good. In which case you'd be wrong. And for all of you out there going, "Oh, but Vince will reign him in." Ahem. Mark Henry, Mae Young. Mae Young giving birth to a hand on TV. That was during Russo's era. Vince was supposedly "reigning" him in then, too. Russo's an embarassment to the business, a step in the WRONG direction, but it's the first of 4 Ultimate Steps of Desparation that the WWF has to go through. First step is to bring back Russo. 2nd is to hire Bishoff. Third is to bring in Goldberg, and the 4th would be the real "hell frozen over" moment when they hire Hart back. Personally, I think this speaks very badly of the management. If all they can think of to turn things around is to hire one of the worst writers in the business and rehash ideas that were popular 4 years ago, they're in even worse shape than I thought.

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 02 | I really think the WW_ will never be as great again as it was in the past. Since it's the only thing out there that can be seen, however, people will continue to watch it. They are no doubt losing money because of this. In the near future, Vince may have to make some financial decisions. The way I see it, there's two options: 1. He could attempt to ride out the lack of public interest in his product and wait for the next boom in popularity(If he lives that long. After all, he is starting to get up in years.), reap the profits, and then give or sell the company to someone who can take the WW_ in the right direction, whether or not that happens to be his son Shane. or 2. Look for a financial opening (the end of a fiscal or contract period), and settle up all his debts to whoever he owes money. He could then close up shop and live the high life for the rest of his life. The second one sounds extreme, I know, but that would be the best thing for him to do as far as his money is concerned. Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste. All right, children. Let's all point and laugh. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jun. 02 | i'll do you one better.. take option 2, keep a production team on hand and sell all the wwf-wcw footage thats locked away so you can just keep generating revenue without having to pay talent. give it a couple of years, if video sales skyrocket because people miss wrestling then start up the promotion again and ride the nostalgia. repeat cycle when business begins to fall. I know it's not an option the fans would appreciate but from vinces standpoint it's a surefire way to remain rich i admire your honesty, hell i like you, you can come over to my house and fuck my sister | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | WOW! He's already been demoted! Man, Scott Hall can't even pull THAT quick of a thorough pissing off of the entire organization if he was in one of those rare moments where he's had too much to drink! Ah shit, forgot the sarcasm tag. Anyway, I bet he's fired by next weekend! He's built quite a pace already.quote: So, in other words, they'll call Vince up and say, "Does this idea suck?" and when he says, "Yes!," they'll know it's a keeper. At least that's what "on-payroll advisor" sounds like to me. quote: You, my friend, don't know you're wrestling history. First off, Vince's ego won't allow him to pack up and leave, and second, whenever Vince is this close to going under, that's usually when he pulls something out of his ass and makes everyone look stupid. I think it's because he becomes more of an asshole in that state. He's probably too nice now, that's why the product sucks. We need Vince to start fucking over guys who've been in his company for 20 years and cutting chords on the harnesses of their brother just to fuck with their head like in the late 90s. We need the old SUPER asshole Vince. Oh wait, I thought I was Se7en there for a minute. 1. 94 Wins and the NL East title 2. Hate the Braves with a passion. 3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year 4. Mets win the World Series | ||||
