Rants

Russo

> Entering WCW, he found himself in the exact same situation he quit WWF over. Live Monday Nitro and mostly taped Thunder, which brings me to this question:

> Was the money Russo left WWF for that much more significant or was really that hurt about Vince telling him to get a nanny for his kids?

> Also, the NWO’s goal was to destroy WCW correct?

Oh yeah, the money was definitely worth it. Russo made so much off his WCW contract that I’m surprised he ever bothered coming back with TNA.
