    Revisionist History surrounding Chris Kreski

    It definitely was. Contrary to popular opinion, the WWF loved Russo as their head writer, and made a lot of money before he left. They were not looking to change up everything that he did. They did focus a little bit more on the matches than Russo did but otherwise, the storytelling was very...

    No worries bud. And yeah, the IWC definitely hates Russo but what I mean though is they give Kresky the credit of continuing Russo’s booking philosophy. So they wouldn’t be propping him up to hate on Russo though.

    The gentleman you’re replying to hasn’t been a member of this forum in like a year and a half. That being said, I don’t think the IWC conjured this up because they hate Russo because if anything it’s the exact opposite.

    When the 2010s stared I had no idea how that was gonna be the last kinda good stretch and end in 2015. I yearned for the attitude era back then and now I’d happily go back to the reality era or whatever it’s called.

    I don’t agree with your entire premise, but Lesnar should be squashing Ricochet in a minute. Right @Shania Twain

    I don’t enjoy today’s matches because I don’t cate for the product right now, but take me back to 2011-2014. Then I could enjoy a modern match with good angles.

    I can very much agree with this. Russo’s one thing that he didn’t really get was pay-per-view but not that he never made a good pay-per-view because I still stand by that Fully Loaded 1999 being pure perfection.

    So agree with this I think when it comes to like peak Peak attitude era I think 1999 is it that’s when you get everything you want out of that era. I am one of the few people that also prefers 2001 to 2000. Not that the entire three-year period isn’t just perfection though.

    If he was broken down, I didn’t see any evidence for. He must have put his all into the gas tank, said fuck it. His matches with Angle alone I’d put up to anyone.

    Austin’s heel turn both when he was with Triple H and when he was being Vince’s best friend, all great stuff. They just didn’t have enough top tier babyfaces.

    First and foremost you and I agree there. The Attitude Era merch, slogans, crew shirts for production staff, banners and etc all stayed until G the F Out started.

    Russo does claim he left Kreski and co with a year’s worth of the book, but didn’t think you’d back him. :ortonout

    Austin’s 2001 run is probably my favorite run ever.

    Revisionist History surrounding Chris Kreski

    I don’t think Stephanie was writing in 2000, but I think Kreski was reporting under after November. From everything that I’ve read that’s when she got her promotion and I can see a slight change from 2000 to 2001. Especially because I’m a rare gem that prefers 2001, but that’s mostly the awesome...

    Kreski definitely lucked out getting them not long after he got the book. A gift horse just falls right in your lap.

    Revisionist History surrounding Chris Kreski

    December would be when you’d feel Stephanie’s influence as November was probably mostly plotted out before he promotion to the head of creative. I think Austin being worked in helped the transition. I have to say Kreski and Stephanie did a hell of a job if they were the two driving forces of...

    Revisionist History surrounding Chris Kreski

    From everything I’ve ever read he did. He was a protégée under Russo and got the book when he left. There is some dispute about how long he retained head writer status, though, as some say he lost some of his power in November of 2000 when Stephanie became head of creative as the formula does...
