Which is odd because Russo has demonstrated he's at his best when he has multiple people to make his ideas less shit

Imagine having Hul lose to the future at Mania, and then have him win the world title.

At the very next PPV

Russo has never booked by committee. He had one man above him who tweaked his booking and honestly if you watch WWF in 1999, the myth of the editor is overstated. Most of his idea went into the show pretty much unabated. Vince more or less just made his ideas better, but Russo's footprint is all over the show.

Russo was proven right too because the writers room hits peak insanity in 2009 when there's like 20 guys writing the shows. And the product became unbearable because of it.

I voted for a 2009 show for next week's classic PPV

Gross.]

"Two young lions going at it" -don't be silly, Taz, they clearly have gimmicks

 

[Chris]

What is Edge's gimmick exactly here, "Cool hair"

 

[Tremendez]

When I think future of the brands, I think Booker T vs RVD and Edge vs Angle, so kudos for a perfect first week.

 

[Tremendez]

Edge was the cooler rocker dude, but IDK about now. Pre-mania he started a crazy gimmick. He still doing that?

 

[Chris]

Angle doing the Andre spot

 

[Tremendez]

One man conchairto? Damn.
