What Did Russo Get RIGHT?

By Scott Keith on 12 August 2018



Scott,

I've personally picked up on some faintly positive comments in Vince Russo's direction online recently, seemingly centred on how he "got" that TV matches don't always have to be ten minutes long and need to be booked to play to/cover up the talent involved.

Also,he definitely for me was great at repackaging midcard guys and giving them a fresh paint of coat with mic time to boot,Hardcore Holly and the JOB Squad jump to mind.

Do you agree? What else would you give him credit for?
He wasn't bound by the laws of things like "storytelling" and "drawing money" and always presented a product that, at the very least, was always something different and always presented something interesting to talk about. Speaking strictly as someone who reviews wrestling, I appreciate that.
