Russo has been right about everything. People crap on him, but he’s dead on right.
Agreed. Vince gets to much hate. He seems like a nice and laid back guy
Long story short, HHH and Steph are the main reason WWE ratings are sinking. Vince Mcmahon should of followed his own instincts and kept Russo.
I agree with you 100%. The problem is hearing that banshee screeching day in and day out would be grating after a while. Personally I would’ve said yes. Look I’m bringing Vince Russo back. Either you’re going to deal with it or I’m going to replace you with him. The choice is yours
@@ef7558 Most definitely. But like Russo said, Vince Mcmahon didnt want to leave egg on Steph's face. He sealed the deal when he put her head of creative....there was no turning back for him.
Everyone forgetting how woke steph is and how her decisions haven't really ended in any up tick in ratings or anything tbh
@@lrc2k8 It is his daughter can't really knock him for it but yea she was the wrong choice.
Stephanie McMahon thinks she's such a creative genius and yet WWF/E since 2001 has had such a gigantic drop in ratings.
Dixie Carter ran an rampant ego and testosterone drug addicts business much better than Steph could ever dream of.. and that's considering Steph has the business all over her veins and DNA
The ruthless agression era was great but if vince was there imagine the amazing storylines he would have wrote wwe would have probably had another boom period for wwe probably
@@antiheroandy9109 David Lagana and Paul heyman really were the mvps back then.
@sonu malik Agreed!!! And if they had the financially backing that Gay-EW had back in 01, they definitely would've saved wrestling especially with Russo in charge.
Alot of people would say russo wrote too much comedy and gaga but i remember wwf well around 2000-2003 and that era made russo's writing look like the AWA in comparision everybody had to be funny including the top star stone cold
Kreski era was full of that or dull wrestling, they had to rely on spots during that time
Everything was goofy in that era, The Rock coming back as the Hollywood Heel and feuding with Shane Helms. Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels interacting like they were acting out a scene in Friends when he tried to recruit him on his team to feud with Bischoff at Survivor Series. Stone Cold's goofy heel run as the leader of the Alliance, no wonder this guy had enough in 2002.
Austin started complaining about creative in 2002. Notice you never heard him complaining of creative with Russo writing.
They made the attitude era badass into joke
@@BeaterCar The change in the product was evident. Lower-card and mid-card acts were reduced back to being nobodies with no stories like it was in the mid 90s. To me that is truly what made it clear of Russo's effect on the WWE product.
@@kevinlee9929 yep, that’s what I liked most about Russo, you could sit there & watch the show for 3 hours and be entertained the whole time. I remember going to Raw in 99 and being excited about the pre-show
Lmfao just because russo was there doesn't mean shit infact Austin likes Russo and his issue was not a specific writer it was having to do a job for Hogan.. Those that tried putting them out of a job lol
@@kevinlee9929 Yes lower card talent tend to be the nobodies untill they move up or move down further lmfao
You are 100 percent right Vince I really wish you were still working for WWE makes me upset that Stephanie talked down to you if I had my own company you yourself would be my writer
Alyssa Owens on a pole match
James in a box match, or put you under a sheet for a surprise like Jim Cornette.
Vince Russo = Best Booker of all time Aggre to disagree I agree!
Any of the major promotions would benefit from Russo, especially at the moment. I wasn't always a fan of his work (I'm more of a purist and didn't like all the title changes and chair use in matches without wrestlers being DQd), but some of his stuff was pure, top quality gold that endures to this day. Bring him back, replace the frankly awful writers that WWE have at the moment, they're really the pits, nobody's enjoying their work (unless you're four years old and slightly backward).
Vince Russo is telling the truth, it's not BS at all for alot who believe.
Vince was right! The Company completely hurt themselves in the long run. The RAW Ratings in 2021 are horrendous!
This was around the time that Raw would become the Triple H show for 3 straight years (2002-5). Of course Triple H and Steph didn’t want Russo to return. They wanted to make sure that Triple H would stay on top!
2002-2005 Was The Reign Of Terror Era.
@@Wrestling316 Yep, I stopped watching Raw doing this time. I would only watch Smackdown and that was definitely the better show!
I got to be honest.....aew needs russo
I can actually believe this about Russo. Hell, he, Mcmahon, and Ed mostly wrote the Attitude Era. I can see a lot of writers burying one guy who wrote a year's worth of tv. And the writers/McMahon today STILL suck. The shows are horrible with few bright spots🤷🏾♂️ Just my opinion.
McMahon was the final edit that's all, he didn't write anything
@@KoolKumasi I know he didn't write anything. I meant they were the main force behind the Attitude Era. They've always said Mcmahon was the filter. Russo has said he'd put touch ups on stuff but it was mostly He and Ed. Sorry I didn't state it that way.
@@Adrian-X1
Indeed my bad for taking it that way brotha if you was close I would buy you a beer!!! And shit on today's product.
Vince McMahon was the one that had the final say. He was Russo and Ed's filler.
@@theshakter
And what is Vince McMahon doing today???? Seems like he needs a younger more hip version of Russo and Ferrara!
What could have been. With the talent WWE had at that time and Russo's creativity what did WWE have to lose? 18 years later and the product has been in steady decline since. People can hate on Russo all they want there's no way in hell he could be any worse at the job than Prichard. Prichard being awful at creative is what got Russo hired in the first place.
Exactly I like Bruce’s podcast, well lately it’s been boring due to him going back. But him & especially Cornette would’ve never beat Bischoff
Geweritz era can't hold a candle to Russo era.
Definitely can't neither could the Kreski era.
They killed ALL the top stars of the attitude era except hhh
I wouldn’t say that
2001 was the best year of WWE in my opinion and that was due to Geweritz
@@Rommie26
That's your opinion and we respectfully disagree
@@Rommie26 2001 is the year when fans started stepping away from the product. Austin's heel turn was so bad a mistake that even says he wish he could go back and change it.
Russo would of brought it back, things would be so much different now, that whole era where everybody that has a life stopped watching the bigger show (everybody with a life stopped with Smackdown in '04, right when Lesnar left and the show went to shit with JBL) Raw in '07 - 2010s decade, even mostly pretty much now, Russo would of killed it in the Ruthless Aggression era. It was great up until early '04, Russo would of had it on another level.
Always wondered about this Russo stint in 2002. Always wondered why it was something that didn't really materialize. There was a video somewhere that said Russo had the idea of having a new invasion angle with the real WCW stars whose contracts where now up, and that it was so bad that he got "fired". That video was obviously fake, but it would have been interesting to have seen an evolution of the attitude era with Russo in 2002. I never really watched TNA during his S.E.X storyline, but I wonder how big it would have been had that storyline format would have been done in WWE, with that roster that they still had at the time. Anyways, glad to have a video finally talking about this.
1:53 12-15 people, young people, in that creative room
2:59 1 Year of Creative
4:49 She was talkin down to me
5:27 “Vince, this is not going to work out”
6:14 “All I saw in that room that day were Yes Men.”
8:07 Consulting, open about going to TNA, dropped WWE FOR TNA
Russo joining NWA-TNA in Late December 2002 gave the company a purpose, than RAVEN, THE FRANCHISE, STING, VAMPIRO, DLO BROWN And pretty much NWA-TNA on Wednesday PPV in 2003 on directv was definitely SUPERIOR to TNA when they were rough around the edges at first compared to june 2002
Kinda ironic that Russo didn’t like how many people are in creative now when he is likely one of the key reasons it is that way. Vince was never going to be in a scenario again where one creative guy just ups and leaves with Vince now being in a bind.
Xpac said it best. Russo gives himself too much credit but the rest of the industry does not give Russo nearly enough credit for the attitude era. All wrestling has to show for its legacy since Ruso left is John Cena smiling to children and an undertaker streak ruined by a part timer that did nothing but make that part timer truck loads of money.
I really don't see how Russo gives himself too much credit though? What does he take credit for?
Contrary to popular belief, he has never once taken credit for the Rock or Austin's characters. In addition, that he and Ed Ferrara were the only writers is just a fact.
That Russo also produced most of our favourite segments up until his departure is also just a simple fact.
So what are some concrete examples of Russo taking too much credit?
Oh shit, it's Vince Russo.
I want Vince Russo in AEW.please Tony Khan bring him as creative writer one last time.
He would do AEW good
Cody hates him and his crew. Once went full indie mark on Disco Inferno for criticizing him, saying Disco had "drawn zero dollars" in WCW. Hates Russo, too.
So unless Tony Khan stops being a fan of Cody and puts a leash on his bullshit, Russo's never going to AEW. They don't deserve him.
@@ronaldsprowal9978
AEW sucks when will people get that, they have to revamp the whole roster.
Never gonna happen. Cody is a SJW. I’m betting they all hate the Attitude era...BTW, one of my nephews in college watches the Attitude Era and loves it
As long as he stays off tv and just writes the show
Russo came unprepared and under armoured
I wasnt aware he went back to work for wwe in 2002
Russo's Brand! Where are PROS are BROS!
When vince says vince he's talking about vince russo
WWE would have had better storylines and higher ratings if Vince stayed
This interview is hilarious if u imagine he's referring to himself
He was brought back to clean the potatoes and carrots.
Vince shouldve hired russo and cornette and got rid of the 15 writers.
Vince Wrote for EVERYONE! From the Main Event to the Undercard Guys ... So, There's That ...
would have been nice
5:50 😂😂😂😂😂😂there's no way he spoke to Vince McMahon like this, Russo hasn't got the balls to talk to Vince like that
HHH is Good with creative when comes WWE He knows how To get creative good in WWE .......Vince Russo Is Really good with TNA creative TNA/Impact Wrestling should hire him back
NXT's numbers vs. TNA's numbers says your view on Triple H's creative force is incorrect.
Trip only pushes his favourite indie midgets
NXT is garbage
NXT is So boring 😴
Somebody's hitting the crack pipe
Wow crazy that why wwe is in the toilet
binod
Fresh this guy is full of himself. I was surprised Vince even considered Russo for a second chance. He buried WCW then he buried TNA around this time.
Russo had creative control for 3 months at WCW, and during those 3 months the ratings went up.
TNA was also getting high ratings when Russo was writing for it.
Dude, TNA just started around that time, what are you on About?
@@Wrestling316 don't listen to this idiot 😂😂
This guy is delusional. For some reason he still thinks he made the wrestling business better.
the ratings dont lie
