What if Russo Never Left?

Although I believe Russo didn’t kill WCW (he does help kill it quicker though) as it was doomed anyway, what do you think would happen if he and Ed never left the WWF?

I’ve always believed the best era of the WWF was from January 2000 to Wrestlemania X7, but it was because they moved past all the Russo inspired bullshit of the late 98(post Survivor Series which is arguably the best of Russo’s work) thru 99 period. I can’t see them hitting that creative and successful peak if Russo was still there.

Russo has said that he was so incredibly burned out that he was trying to quit anyway, so either way he might have been gone by the end of 1999. But he might be lying, because Russo. I think that either way, Vince McMahon was still smart enough about business trends to figure out the wind was changing, and Russo would have been left behind by that. More importantly, Vince wanted to put Stephanie in charge and Russo was never going to win that argument.
