2017 WWE: Ripping off "this is your life" promo, Goldust back to OG character, is topic on Network

You're actually perfectly proving my point about GOATsso. Who cares if that segment doesn't appeal to you? You're a mark who is still watching this trash product 17 years later, you're not going anywhere But to the CASUALS, it was an incredibly entertaining segment, ratings don't lie I remember watching it live thinking it was the best thing on television. It's 2017 and WWE doing TNA numbers because the casuals all left because creative is catering to the mark audience who will never leave

Blah blah blah

That's all fine. But the bell has to ring. This is wrestling, no matter how you try to slice it.

Casual fans are gone. They've nevrr been necessary to the success of the business bc they are fickle.

Vince Russo was plainly overrated once the shock value wore off.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Why won't they make amends with Russo?

Because he's batting 0-1,000,000 the last 17 years and is completely unapologetic about it.

 

[Silkk]

Could he make the E better though?

We watched an episode of nitro from december 99 a few weeks ago, the answer is a resounding fukk NO

That was some of the worst televsion I have ever seen period. Raw now is 2-3x as good as that shyt

Why won't they make amends with Russo?

We're still talking about his WCW run 17 years later

TNA went from 2 million viewers when he was writing to 200,000 now

He's had success everywhere

True and wrestling is all about creating moments. Sounds like this Russo guy knew how to do that consistently.

You're definitely one of the few bright posters on this board

He's had the olive branch extended for years now, his only character flaw was putting the product first instead of his own personal ego, he's paying for it now and so is the entire industry

Pretty sure you're mostly trolling, but what they need is the 2017 version of Vince Russo, not Vince Russo himself. Same with Heyman.

Their ideas were great in the 90s because they turned the business upside down. We've seen their ideas, and they dont get pop culture like some 25-35 year old guy out there probably does.

It wasnt that bad imo. Most of it didnt make a lot of sense. There was a good 30-40 minute stretch though , and it was always at least interesting to watch. I genuinely enjoyed it more than the last couple raws Ive seen, where nothing happens.

Russo didn't write the This Is Your Life segment. Bill Banks did

Id have no problem with Russo back under the thumb of Vinny Mac...his stuff only went off the rails when he had no one to answer to or filter his ideas.
