Rants

Russo

By Scott Keith on 6 February 2016

> Something just occurred to me.

> One of the major factors of Russo leaving WWF for WCW was the extra two hours a week of writing due to Smackdown with no extra money.
>
> 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?

> Mission accomplished I guess.

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.
