Russo

By Scott Keith on 4 September 2018


Hello, hope all is well. I know we all bash Vince Russo, but what do you think is his greatest contribution? Pure storyline I would say the Kane/Undertaker story as it rejuvenated the Undertaker's career and gave him different aves, such as being the face or heel at different points. It gave Paul Bearer a more vocal role, and introduced Kane.

I think stuff like focusing a show on Mark Henry wooing Chyna was a bigger contribution because it helped to build up a midcard that had been mostly a lot of "here's two guys wrestling for whatever reason while we plug Pacific Blue". I mean, it's not like Vince McMahon wasn't going to devote 100% of his time to getting Undertaker v. Kane over anyway, ya know?
