    20th Anniversary of Russo taking over WCW

    I’m trying some different things with my reviews especially since these Russo 3 hour nitro’s are like 6 months of content in one show I felt like I was writing an opus for that 1st one.

    20th Anniversary of Russo taking over WCW

    I agree totally there’s nothing out right awful its just pointless and boring.It’s amazing they had 2 hours in primetime on TBS and they didn’t even try. I can’t remember when thunder changes when I think back it was a few weeks after Russo shows up.

    Watching those 2 weeks before he showed up was making me excited for him to show up cause its some lame duck programming.I’ll be interested to see how long that excitement lasts.

    20th Anniversary of Russo taking over WCW

    With October 2019 being exactly 20 years since Russo went to WCW in October 1999 I figured I’d rewatch that and leave my thoughts here.I’ll start with the 1st week of October 99 to see how much the product changed.I can only assume this will be a highly enjoyable experience.
