It's also a bit harder to find definitive confirmation to find exactly who was booking and when. WCW was mum a lot of the time when creative changed hands behind the scenes. Sullivan specifically left and rejoined creative a few times between 1994 and 2000.
I think producers and supervisors would count because each head of WCW demanded something different from their bookers that changed the product. Like the things you just described here and Watts rule changes, though, the product was good for the time.
He probably would, but there are so many worse people. Nobody asks for Herd's era to come back like they do for Russo's Attitude Era. Even the biggest AE hater in that thread didn't think anything after Russo left should be considered Attitude Era (though I disagree). :side:
Even then I love 1996-1998 WCW more than most, but Russo's 1999 booking is vastly better than the Bischoff/Nash booking that Spring to fall. Some of that stuff done just before Russo got there is much worse. At least Russo started getting young guys more screen time and gave other acts legit...
That's more the booking than gimmick, though, imo.
TBF I would also use the same booking that worked for me in the other company.
That said, he should have known WCW wasn't the WWF. Though, Bischoff was the evil boss first. :side:
I still don't see how a gimmick that's basically just the GMs not showing their faces is somehow worse than wrestling Ninja Turtles and Ultimate Warriors ripoffs.
