Russo or Kreski: who had a better impact?

**scatterbrain28** · 10-28-2013, 09:25 AM

Vince Russo came aboard as a writer in 1996 and became head writer the following year. He was more of an idea man that fed his ideas to McMahon who shaped his ideas into various storylines. He created the Attitude Era and created such storylines and ideas as:

Austin vs. McMahon

Mankind vs. the Rock

Sable taking her top off

DX vs. the Nation

Austin and Undertaker moments (McMahon getting sprayed with beer by Austin, Taker kidnapping Stephanie) that would make today's WWE look like Sesame Street

Chris Kreski, a nearly unknown name, took over for Russo when he left for WCW in October 1999. He used storyboards and created more textured storylines. Stephanie took his job in November of 2000 but he remained with the company until 2002. His storylines and ideas under his tenure include:

Austin getting run over by a car (and getting revenge on HHH)

McMahon-Helmsley era

Hardcore title defended 24/7

E&C, Hardys, and Dudleys squaring off in various hardcore matches

The rise of Benoit and Jericho

What I'm asking is: Who had more of a positive impact on the WWF.
