Rewatching the Monday Night Wars series

[JerseyBoy23]

So much rewriting of history in that show. I hope people who weren't watching at the time don't take that series as gospel.

If you really go back and check out the Raw shows during Russo it was some god awful overbooked shyt. Alot of the time the show was worse than Nitro and winning the ratings.

Russo gets credit for pushing the characters to be more edgy, but as a weekly television booker he was always shyt.

The other half of the credit goes to the talent, namely Rock, Vince, and Austin.

That shyt was revisionist propaganda at its finest

History basically shows that he got lucky. He did have some good ideas but look at his WCW & TNA runs and ask yourself if he was a genius.

Also the fact that he had Vince to check his bullshyt in WWE. Dixie and TNT/TBS let this dude have too much power.

The problem now is that no one will check Vince's bullshyt. I think the reason they worked so well together was because they had nothing to lose. WCW was the king and the WWE was facing bankruptcy, Russo himself doesn't even take all the credit for the success. He said plenty of times that SCSA & Rock deserve the credit for their success.
