The only good thing I can say about Russo is that he tries hard to get everyone on the show with some kind of character or gimmick. A lot of undercard stars from WCW and TNA really appreciated that, but at the same time he has some of the worst booking for minorities or women in wrestling history. He would definitely be an okay guy with a filter, since he seems to have a million ideas but most of them are just really bad ideas.

Not coincidentally he was successful when Vince McMahon was throwing 90% of his ideas in the dumpster, and then terrible whenever he's actually had power.

Russo/Cornette in 1997 may have been one of the best booked years in WWF history.

I'm imagining a Russo/ Kurt Sutter collaboration for a tv show about wrestling and it's amazing.

I like how seemingly disparate wrestlers are friends in real life.

Like the Iron Sheik and Hacksaw Jim Duggan back in the day, and this here Seth with Breese and 'Dango.

Getting everyone on the show with a gimmick is actually one of the reasons his shows are so loving bad. You can't put everyone on TV at once it creates too many segments, too many short matches and too much crap going on.

Seeing the poo poo WWE put on since Russo left, I think we can say whoever was throwing his ideas into the dumpster, it certainly wasn't Vince. Patterson probably.

I think it was mostly Vince, but now Vince is 20 years older, probably 2 to 3 x more crazed, and has 20 writers sucking his dick instead of 1 or 2 yes men.

I'm sure that having people who actually understood wrestling like Patterson helped keep him in check though.

Sure, and Vince OKed all kinds of stupid poo poo during the Attitude era too. I'm not saying Vince ever had his pulse on what was 'sane and funny to a normal human.' But he was a good booker overall for a long time
