"We hate money" - suits

WWF does feel more like Southern Rasslin' than WCW in the late 90s tbh

Tell me about it. Until WWF beat it in 2000. WCW was the most profitable wrestling company ever in 1998.

 

[Smart Marx]

That sounds like a division they needed to micromanage.

Imagine if WCW was allowed to bring the attitude era in? Russo certainly thinks it was the start of the downfall when he came in because of his work in the WWF, but then was told he couldn’t do any of those things he did in the WWF to make them money.

 

[Smart Marx]

Not sure it would have been much better because I don’t think Russo and WCW was a good fit and I like Russo usually, but let Eric do what he was doing in 1998 to actually have his b shows out buy wrestlemania.

Seems like a no brainer to me.

At least Time Warner is letting AEW do its thing now.

Goidnight?!

 

[Smart Marx]

No matter how Russo would have done without restraints on him, I’ll always love that he named the Harris Twins standards and practices to mock WB.

Goodnight!
