I am not gonna throw stones over Russo, if someone hires him in tyool 2024, they get what they deserve But the sheer unmitigated gall to think JDfromNY would add anything to any company that employs him, that deserves remarking upon IMO

I forget whether it was this thread or the GBS thread, but someone posted something Russo said on his podcast about how he would book WM40 and he said something like "Rock can't end Roman's run yet and is too old to be champion so Rock will challenge Roman for the title of 'Head of the Table'" Because that's what WM main events have always been about. Gimmick nicknames It shows that he still doesn't understand the value of belts and championships. He still thinks they're worthless props and if AEW hired him he'd have Samoa Joe lose to DarkSydePhil or some other youtuber he thinks would drum up controversy

A Fancy Hat posted:Vince Russo convinced a lot of people that he's actually good if he has someone to filter his ideas a little bit. I don't know how exactly that happened, but he's now seen as this creative genius who just needs a good editor. I thought we viewed him as a deeply disturbed man that lives in his wife's attic?

Dire Even more dire: Spending your life doing movie reviews or something with a puppet (if his username is any indication of what his content used to be), getting no traction doing that. THEN making Tony Khan parody songs with a puppet once you realize there's a grift for it and still getting no traction.

If you ever in your life find yourself writing a post about how any wrestling promotion on any level could be "saved" and one of your suggestions "Hire some Youtuber to book it for you" you should just delete the post and hope nobody ever finds out about it.

I also had a TEW save where I saved AEW by exploiting the fact that making your own streaming service basically guarantees you infinite exponentially multiplying income forever so clearly Tony Khan should just do that.

Fiasco posted:It's extremely weird that despite years of every single source imaginable, even WWE itself, slamming Vince Russo, these people have somehow convinced themselves he's worth anything, and yet they'll also believe the High School Gyms And Bingo Halls narrative. It's nuts. At this point Tony Khan's successes in professional wrestling have far eclipsed Vince Russo's accomplishments.

that's like saying tony has been more successful than bruce prichard and michael hayes and kevin sullivan. russo can gently caress off from being a thought in anyone's head i am wrong. it isn't like those things since those people did credible or near-credible things besides write dumb crap on some level. but russo really is nothing and did not do anything valuable even at his peak except for making sure something else was happening every 2 minutes, and is very weirdly probably the only person who does not like wrestling to become successful in the business without coming in from above a company with a large amount of money. maybe the weirdos who like him and similarly do not actually like in-ring wrestling feel kinship and envy that he was able to do that Cavauro fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Feb 17, 2024 |
