Look Russo is just the wrestling world's version of Mike Shanahan. Late 90s he was the man (coach) Writing the best shows with the biggest ratings (coaching the superbowl champs 2 years in a row). Then it started to get old. People got sick of the same formula, and adapted to it. So they took their business elsewhere with even less success. The rest of the world caught up to their act and it did nothing for no one no more. Go away for a while and come back recently and try the same tired formula only to find out that the rest of the world has passed them by and they are still stuck with the same ideas and thought processes on what worked in the late 90s. Neither could adapt their styles nor evolve, so instead of realizing the world had passed them buy they just blamed everyone else and burned it all to the ground on the way out. To further the Shanahan/Russo analogy: Mike didn't do shit without Elway, Russo didn't do shit without Rock/Austin etc. Exactly! No success is one man's achievement, sum is greater than its parts. Russo just like McMahon is not a genius, far away from it actually.

This is the greatest burial in the history of wrestling and it wasn't even someone from in the industry that said it.

Even in 2010 we saw Orlando Jordan squirting white substance on himself Zack Ryder did the same thing in 2009 but so far as I know Russo wasn't a writer for ECW. And somehow this moment also is never brought up as a sign of WWE's ECW being bad shock TV. Wonder why... This is not the hill you want to die on. I've said it before, I'll say it again: Orlando Jordan annihilated any positive image of bisexuals. I stopped watching for over a year after that shit went down. The whole gimmick was just shock value, derivative, and just reinforced stereotypes about bi people.
