In order for them to have another boom, they need to get someone like Russo or Bischoff pulling shit to get attention from the mainstream. A jackass like McMahon does good business, but his idea of cool is a WWE Diva competition.

I mentioned the whole notion of wrestling having to be percieved as cool for casual fans to get into it. I do not agree with the idea of Russo or Bischoff being the guys to pull the strings for the nest boom period. I liked Russo, even when he was with WCW. At that time, when he was with WCW, I thought the company had a great chance to compete with WWE, and they did with Russo in charge. However, he burnt out, and stayed out of the business until...TNA. I said liked Russo, but the garbage he conducted on TNA was just abyssmal. It was so sad to see him try to rehase old storylines and concepts. This is why I believe he can't be the person to get attention from mainstream, because he is just out of any "good" ideas. I really enjoy Bischoff as Raw Gm, so I'm hoping he stays with WWE. Anyways, I mentioned Tuner wanted to start a wrestlign promotion, so we will see how he runs it. Remember, he was the one that financed WCW, so he does have stroke to make a boom happen.
