1. Who in your view was the driving creative force during the Attitude Era?

2. Do you hate Paul Heyman?

3. Why do you continually compare Sheamus to the Renegade?

4. What is your opinion of John Cena? Is he or WWE Creative responsible for his perceived stagnation?

I never saw this.

One...
Mick Foley was the lenchpin for the attitude era's highest drawing points.
Creatively I do not think it was one person.
Just a culmination of three talents, rock, Mick and scsa.
All hitting an apex at the most critical time to bring wwf out of the dark ages.

Two. Paul heyman is gawd!!!

Three. Sheamus is continually compared to the renegade because he sucks, as bad as the renegade.
Plus his push is all from connections which have muffin to do with actually being a great talent.

Four. I like John cena. I just do not like the hogun template grafted erroneously on to him.
When he is infinitely a better actual performer than hogun.

So Vince Russo gets no credit whatsoever. Makes me sick how people constantly ignore his positive contributions during that era.

Vince Russo actually was awful.
Everything that was high quality in the attitude era.
Featured Mick,.....
Mick was the MVP of the attitude era.

Without Mick non of the characters would have had quality matches, angles or a foil to bounce off of.

Every five star engagement and the definitive attitude era style match.
Was because of Mick, pulling out all the stops.

Vince russo made the attitude era outside of Mick. Nothing but low assinine quality.

Mick was a wrestler. He wasnt involved in any of the creative thinking at the time with regards to either the angles or the character of wrestlers.

Im not saying Vince Russo was behind everything but the way people act like he deserves no zero credit is laughable.

What were his best ideas outside of mick amplifying them?
That is why I give him no credit.
If he was great he would have done something outside of his time in wwe.
Most of his shyt was juvenile.
Plus aided by people lifting from.ecw.
Or being former heyman guys who amplified the anemiac talent in wwf.

Preciate it,....handshake!!


To expand on your posting,..
I think if more people went back and really observed Mick's work.
They would see how influential he was to more than just hardcore wrasslin.
From awa, uwf, smw, wcw to ecw, to wwf.
Mick provided the quality a lot of guys and promotions made their name off of.

if you look at Vader,.. There is mick.
If you look at sting, there is mick in two promotions.
If you look at heyman,...there is mick.
If you look at the undertaker being over as a babyface.
There is mick.
If you look at Kane being credible.
There is Mick.

If you look at the domestic explosion and interest into pureso.
There is mick.
If you look at cornette being viewed past a manger and running a promotion.
There is mick.
If you look at every five star wwf sports entertainment finish match.
There is mick.
If you look at whom exactly made vkm a hated heel.
It was Mick being hazed by vkm. That made vkm a hated heel.
Before that vkm was just the clown we looked forward to Austin giving the stunner to for sheer slapstick.
Mick gave value to vkm getting the stunner. So, vkm could have some formidability when opposite Austin.

Mick is completely unheralded on the level he should really be given props on.
shyt the entire clique pretty much owe him their draw.
Kevin Nash was recreated as a draw from Mick just recently.
As Mick hid all of Nash's shortcomings in tna.
Which enabled Nash another wwf opportunity on paper which could be deemed justified past good ole boi-ism.



Mick is gawd!!
