Some of the poo poo Russo says does make perfect sense. I listened to a recent podcast where he explained how WWE needs to do serialized programming, that there's no reason they can't tell stories like every other show in the world.

But then again sometimes he goes off on huge rants about how what WWE REALLY needs is more half naked chicks and swearing, or how no one wants to watch a long match so you should split your 10 minute segment up into 3 minute chunks featuring 20 guys so you can get them all over.

Ask me about moons
Fact #1 The Moon is really cool
I don't think the idea that WWE will be back to its old self in 3-4 weeks is really that ground breaking a thought when I feel like this has been a purveying feeling for a while now.

I still think the Deadly Game twist was brilliant and if Russo is responsible for that he's cool no matter how many bra and panties matches he forklifts

there's nowhere else to really bitch about WWE merch but man im pissed as hell that they brought back the ugly sweaters thing, and even added new ones to the roster, but didn't loving bother to bring back the Stone Cold ones. You know, the only ones that loving sold out last year??? MAN, WOULDN'T WANNA RESTOCK THOSE!!!

I've been saying for years that when Glen Jacobs retires he'll need someone to take up the mantle under the mask, and it should be Kane Dewey. Now there's a slight chance it could happen someday.
