Yeah I heard about the Tank Abbott thing.
That’s how Russo lost his head writer gig the first time.
After Hart had to vacate the belt cause of Goldberg’s clumsy ass kicking his head off, Russo wanted to have some kind of battle royal type match where Abbott would be the last entrant and taking out Sid with one punch.
After hearing that, the real powers that be Turner sports asked him to take a demotion. He refused so they sent him packing before bringing him back later for him to put the title on himself and David Arquette.
Imagine bringing an idea to your bosses that was so bad they asked you to take a demotion.
