No reason to bring back Russo when they could swallow their pride and give the book to Heyman :ehh:

THIS.

Why bring some guy who just was in the right time at the right place, instead of giving the book to someone who has proven he can make stars at any period of time, and he's already in the payroll?

Fukk Russo.

He does have a track record of ratings going up while he has the book. Maybe the pair of him and McMahon works.

Facts:
WWE RAW has had a steady decline in ratings for 15 straight years since he left
WCW was dead before he got there yet he gets all the blame for it, Ric Flair recently came out and said the same thing that it's laughable he gets pinned for it all
WWE has only created 2-3 legit stars in the 15 years since he left, Cena, Brock, ?
TNA ratings even dropped when he got the booking taken away from him

People always say Russo is trash without the filter of Vince, well, Vince has been the filter of WWE for the last 15 years and has seen half his audience leave. Can't blame the TV market because NFL MNF ratings have gone up under same conditions.

Wrasslin will be doing numbers in the 1's this time next year

They need someone like Russo, who has out of the box ideas that we haven't seen before, that are more in line with current pop culture, that go against traditional ideas of what wrestling is, but they don't need Vince Russo himself. Not because his booking is stupid or whatever, it's just that he's like 50 now and we've probably seen all his good ideas.

Paul said on Austin and Jericho's podcasts that he's not interested in returning to the creative team because it'd cut into his time with his family and he'd end up getting too crazy and passionate about it. He's fine just advising the young talent.

Everybody says shyt like that until the opportunity is there. Herman could book better shyt than we're seeing in a few hours in his basement :heh: He'd be getting full time pay for part time work.

Yeah they need someone who is where he was 20 years ago; that young guy who looks at the product and realizes that the shyt is stale and outdated. They're in the exact same position they were in during the early to mid 90s but without someone breathing down their neck (WCW) I don't see what's going to force them to make a change. Maybe when the ratings hit rock bottom, USA will hit them with the :ufdup:

First of all, fire Dunn.

We've been saying this for close to a decade now. We are not gonna see major changes in WWE's product (storyline and look wise) unless that useless fukk is out of there.

They gotta do something. If not for my blind love of wrestling and tsc threads, I wouldn't watch the product at all.

I don't think there's anything they can do to give ratings a big boost in the short term - unless some off the wall shyt like Rock/Austin returning for a couple of months, giving a contract to Jeff Hardy and clearing Daniel Bryan happens at the same time :heh: - but what they should be doing is build some momentum and experiment a little bit during a time were the NFL is gonna rape them every week.

Give Dunn the boot and ratings wont go up instantly but we will see some changes that could payoff come Mania Season and beyond.

Specially now that Cena will be taking a couple of months off. It's the perfect time to throw shyt at the wall, see what sticks and run with it.

Wrestling media has effectively brainwashed the masses to hate Russo

WWE hiring him would result in too much negative publicity

we need what happened to star wars to happen to WWE.

get it out of vince's hands and make room for a new creative braintrust, preferably people that grew up as huge fans and know what it takes to restore the property to it's former glory.
