Cornette is just a hack who does what he does to cater to brain dead retards who want drama driven shows. I doubt Jim even hates Russo.

>>19851486
Didn't Cornette go on a diet to stop eating so many cheeseburgers so he could outlive Russo to piss on his grave?
That sounds like shoot hate

>>19849664
This was a time throwing everything to the wall to see what stuck was the law of the land.

Vince booked himself to become WWE Champion and then vacated.
People were champ for like weeks at a time. The most hot potato era in wrestling history.

>>19851429
>>19851486
People who support Russo include Stone Cold, Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Mick Foley, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Shane McMahon, The Rock, Billy Corgan, Raven, Al Snow, X Pac etc. Most people who talk shit are either unhappy the way Russo booked them or are Cornette fans.

>>19851486
>Chris Jericho
Russo was the one who got him a job in WWF, fought to sign him when the good ole boys didn't care to, and booked his big debut against The Rock with the countdown clock.

Jerichode repaid him by parroting the "one good idea and a ten bad ones glorious filter McMahon" in his book and in the Monday Night Wars series as if he'd know after working with him for three whole months.

Shawn Michaels is a much better example. Kevin Nash too. They praise him whenever he comes up.

>>19851517
Cornette is assblasted because Russo came in to save WWF and TNA ratings after Cornette's booking had their ratings in the toilet for years.

Because that's reality, Vince.

>>19851724
And yet the ratings tanked within a year after he left. Why did The Great Filter fail have to milk what Russo did in 3 years for the next 1/4 of a century instead of replicating it 8 times over?

Jim works for himself and makes enough money to thrive, Russo is stuck writing a clown show and still feels the need to insert himself into segments

>>19852191
they're both making money, and I would guess that russo is making more because JCW is growing while cornette's little podcast continues to shrink. cornette is just another boomer who complains but never helps.

luv Russo,
Simple as

>>19852284
not at all accurate. he failed to pull WCW out of the gutter that it was already in, but I'm not sure anyone could have saved it by that point. TNA was literally always a shitshow. Russo actually did manage to improve TNA' s ratings a bit, but nothing can help the eternal black hole of failure that is TNA. as for JCW he has already improved viewership by a significant amount so I have no complaints.

>>19852299
What brand of copium are you on right now Vinnyru?

>>19852305
Jim, I'm holding back because I'm one of the rare modern fans who actually liked SMW. do I really need to start dredging up every KWAB you ever took? because I can think of quite a few.

I don't really care about this fight but I enjoy JCW. For better or worse, he also gave everyone something to do and get on shows.

>>19852313
>KWAB
Vince Russo's entire career in wrestling outside of 1998-1999, which itself was carried heavily by the circumstances and wrestlers themselves

>>19852363
KWAB would be what happens every time some unwise soul decides that they want jim cornette as their booker.

>>19849664
its just cornette and bischoff that constantly drone about him. Guess what they have in common? They both got replaced by russo.
It's just seethe, especially from cornette because in every case russo replaced him, the product got better and more successful.

That's enough from him.

No fucking shit the people that Russo pushed like him.

>>19851978
>Why did ratings tank within a year of Russo leaving?
Simply not true, they continued to be high after 1999 and only began to drop towards the end of 2000. If you actually think the sole reason for the Attitude Era was Vinnyru and not Austin, Rock, Mr. McMahon, Montreal, DX, and interest from the Monday Night War then you are simply delusional.

>Why did the company continue to milk the angles and characters he created for the next 25+ years?
Give one example

>Why were they unable to ever replicate that level of success again without him?
Because wrestling has been declining ever since because of the business being exposed.

Vince Russo had a SINGLE good contribution to the WWF which was making it more relatable and contemporary by giving McMahon ideas. He accelerated the death of WCW and held TNA back for years after JJ wasn't filtering him. He has been successful for maybe 4 years over the past 30. Everybody who actually knows about the business and isn't a self-mark (Rock) says that he's a clueless dipshit who knows nothing about wrestling. He has only done good for the business when McMahon and JJ were making sure that he didn't stink shit up.

>>19851947

Oh really?

ROH survived due to Cornette's booking

>>19852625
if i wanted to listen to cornettes opinions id just go to his youtube.

>>19852632
WCW did flop but it was because the damage was already done by the time he came in, not to say he didnt make bad choices in booking too like booknig himself as champion but it was never going to beat wwf again.
TNA is just your subjective opinion, it drew its highest ratings when he was there.

That doesn't fit the narrative though does it Vinnyru?

>>19852719
Above

>>19852284
People don't realize Russo was with TNA for every year from 02-2011 (excluding 2005). Ratings steadily went up during that time and things only started going downhill was Hogan and Bischoff came in. Russo didn't really have anything to do with the downfall of TNA. I don't like his WCW run much, he deserves criticism there, but his TNA run was very solid and 2009 was the most potable year TJA ever had, and that's when he had most writing control. I'm not attributing that to Russo, I'm just saying you can't attribute the downfall of TNA to Russo when he actually did a solid job until Hogan arrived and TNA was doing OK

>>19852758
Read the texts maybe

>>19849664
I'd like Russo more if he didn't shove himself into the show like a mark

>>19852826
I did and I just debunked it, assuming the numbers and dates are even accurate.

>>19852262
Cornette has spent years hating on the WWE product. He likes guys like Cody, Gunther and some others, but overall it doesn't resemble the old time wrestling he likes. He also doesn't like their connection to Trump, etc.

>>19852857

Who are you referring to when you say "his"

>>19853045
Great to see other users that see through this nonsense

He and Cornette were eachother's greatest collaborators.

>>19853045
Sure there was other contributors, of course you need the talent too. But if the writing is subpar it can bring the talent down. But 98-99 was basically Russo & Ferrara who brought the script to McMahon.

>>19852625
>Why did ratings tank within a year of Russo leaving?
>Simply not true, they continued to be high after 1999 and only began to drop towards the end of 2000.

So ratings dropped within a year of him leaving?

It was well over a year dumbass

>>19853080
Cornette needs Russo a lot more than the other way around

>>19853230
When he plays the semantics bullshit you should already know he's a lost cause.

According to these people Vince Russo did nothing as head writer from March 1997 to October 1999. Everybody just did whatever they wanted and the show just formed out of thin air. The Ringmaster and Rocky Maivia just decided to do something different one day and the rest is history.

>>19853275
Russo left in October 1999. Ratings started tanking in Sept 2000.

TIME TO STOP THE COOOOOOPE

>>19853319
According to that Rock tweet that YOU posted, Russo did whatever Rocky said.

>>19853328
Nope, wasn't until early 2001. Therefore your claim is wrong.

>>19853337
Meanwhile they talked about on Austins podcasts how Russo would come to Austin every week with different ideas.

>>19853392
I saw him all over 2000 WCW

>>19853427
He was in full control only from mid 1999 to early January 2000, then it was mix of different committees.

>>19853436
Wow he really was terrible

>>19853427
>>19853436
Vince and Ed were the sole writers from late October 1999 to mid January 2000. 13 weeks. People blaming him for entirety of WCW 2000 are full of shit.

He wasn't even there from late January to late April. And when he came back it was as part of that Bischoff committee. He was gone for good in October 2000 after the Goldberg concussion.

>>19852262
Cornette has spent years educated tards on how much healthier and profitable the wrestling business used to be. You just have to ignore his political shit. Even his newer shit

>>19853537
national TV destroyed the monopoly lol

There's a stark difference between
>Vince Russo had ideas he'd bounce off talent and talent would use some
vs
>Vince Russo was the architect of everything good and nothing bad
There's a reason why the phrase LOLTNA came to be when Vince Russo was a driving force in the company

Oh Russotranny came back? For those of you who don't know, Russo's "producer" for his show is a shoot troon he employs and defends. Or used to, once he got some backlash he doesn't mention his producer is a tranny. He hosted a debate between Disco and the troon on "trans rights" and kept muting Disco and told him to use the correct pronouns. Lmao

Marks get worked about entertainment, they want clean long wrestling matches. Russo atleast had some storyline for most of the card and matches didn't overstay their welcome.

>>19853644
You never posted any proof of this

>>19851547
>Vince booked himself to become WWE Champion and then vacated.
He actually LOOKED like a wrestler, can work the mic, and was in a long-running feud with the company's babyface.
Russo booked himself to win the belt because he thought whatever worked in the WWF would work in WCW. But he doesn't even remotely look like a wrestler, he can't work the mic, and was in a feud with no-one.
This is on top of the fact that when he arrived in WCW, Russo appeared to think that he could just copy whatever happened in the WWF over the prior two years.

So this is comparing WCW numbers from July 1999 to July 2000. Average attendance is down 55%. Average gate down 53%. Monday night ratings are down 25% (although Dave points out that it's not a fair comparison because Nitro switched from 3 hours to 2. So if you account for that, it's even worse and would actually be about a 31% drop). PPV buyrates down 45%. In July 99, they sold out around 17% of their house shows. In July 2000, they sold out exactly 0% of them. A lot can change in a year. And while I'm pointing it out, it's worth noting that Vince Russo was in charge for probably 75% of that year.

Dave Lagana writes in, talking his experience working on "Friends" and talking about how most TV shows are written by writing teams and how stories are crafted in TV writing rooms and so on and so forth. Basically, it leads to the one big question every writer, booker, and performer should ask themselves: how will the audience react to the long-term story? Not how loud the momentary pop is or how much you were able to swerve the audience with a surprise that doesn't make any sense, etc. The point he's trying to make is that Vince Russo is doing literally everything wrong and he has no idea how to write television. He's also pretty fed up with Russo's constant everything-is-a-shoot booking, where they openly acknowledge scripts and bookers and shit in every segment. He's not the only one.
In regards to Russo blaming his failures on Turner's standards & practices department, Bischoff called it "a crock that Russo peddled" and said his excuses were "a load of crap."

Russo was added to that "committee" in mid 96 after Cornette gave them record low ratings after bankrupting his own mud show promotion SMW.

Russo was promoted to head writer in March 1997 when they rebranded to Raw is War. Cornette remained on the writing team until one of his chimpouts (he wanted to push The Patriot as the new face of the company) where starting making death threats at Kevin Dunn. After that he was removed from creative completely and started doing commentary and his shitty worked shoot rant segments.

Everybody knows Russo became head writer in March 1997. You're clearly mentally ill if you need to change reality to defend your shitty position.

But Raw's lowest-rated episode was in December of 1996. So Russo produced the lowest-rated Raw at the time by your logic.

Interesting thread, and not because of Russo

FURTHERMORE, the ratings barely budged until the beginning 1998, which was after the disastrous Starcade, the Montreal Incident, and the rise of Steve Austin. Doesn't seem like Russo's booking did much when the circumstances are analyzed.
