Russo is a dumb f*&%.
He is so dilusional about what he did and didn't do.
Did he write some TV for WCW that led to higher ratings? Yes. But he also booked the characters on the show so that ratings would go lower than when he first got there and also make it so nobody would pay money to see WCW.
Thats the part he never talks about, he just likes to pick and choose certain numbers that he was resposible for, but what take heat for the fact that his booking style ultimately put the company out of business.
Yeah Arquette was in US Today, but what good did it do? And by having Arquette win the title, he made the title seem worthless, and then people stopped buying the PPVs and going to live events.
With WWE, its a well known FACT that McMahon dealt with the majority of the top angles, Russo was there for some ideas and the mid/lower card guys. If Russo was such a genius TV writer he would have done huge business in WCW when he took over in 99. But he didn't. The reason? He's a fraud.
The WWE moved on without Russo in '99 and went on to have their best years from a financial standpoint. So obviously Russo wasn't 'that' big of a deal.
Bottom line if you think making the company unporfitable is worth having a picture of David Arquette with the company's championship is a fair trade, you're probably a Vince Russo fan.
