Vince Russo

By Scott Keith on 19 June 2024

I understand why many people criticize Vince Russo's booking but my question is was there anything that he did that was a good idea? Even though his philosophy seems to be 'throw a bunch of crap on a wall and see what sticks' there has to be something that he actually did to have a good impact on today's product (any company). Otherwise he was a glorified napkin booker. Your thoughts?

His philosophy of having something for everyone on the show to be doing was a good one and made for some memorable undercard moments in the WWF, where he had Vince McMahon to edit him down. In WCW it came off as an Adderall-crazed teenager throwing out a first draft of every stupid idea that came to his head.
