I liked Russos first shot at WCW, and I mean liked it better than the WWF of the time.
Everyone had a purpose and no-one was a bonafide face or heel, especially the factions that evolved out of it. I remember posting here when I re-watched it years ago and had a chart showing who was feuding with who. The Filthy Animals were heels against the 4 Horseman, but faces against the Revolution. In one PPV, David Flair lays out DDP with a crowbar because he just snaps, then later that night, the Filthy Animals brutally attack Ric Flair which leads to David Flair coming out later in the night to take out Eddie with a crowbar and let the Revolution win leading to David Flair along with Crowbar being a couple of my favourite characters of the time. 3 Count came onto the scene along with Tank Abbot. The Cat found a really good groove. nWo 2000 would have been great if it wasn't for Halls problems, Bret getting injured and Goldberg thinking he could punch a non-gimmicked window (and Jeff being held out of the main event because of Goldberg/Bret). SID'S FUCKING STREAK, he just pranced out and power bombed people to call it a victory and at one point was even coming out dancing to the Maestro playing piano. Then the "legends" other than Flair had stuff to do for the first time in years. Hacksaw had an angle, Russo's lackeys in Henig & La Parka were ready for shenanigans and the Jung Drangons feud with 3 count capped off an awesome roster that was booked well. Every single thing in that brief run had me wanting more and it wasn't until the Radicalz left for WWF that ended that for me. It's a shame, I wish he at least managed to have a year at it solo. It's not like they recovered after firing him then bringing him back with Bischoff. |
