I hate JBL, but the idea that Russo created the entire tournament just to teach him a lesson is horseshit. It was designed to get Steve Williams over.
Not to mention that Russo is a bigoted scumbag too. He's no better than JBL. They are both shitbergs.

Not to mention that Russo is a bigoted scumbag too. He's no better than JBL. They are both shitbergs. I'm not sure. At this point, like, three different sources have confirmed the JBL story. And two of those were BEFORE all the "JBL bullying" stuff dropped, so it wasn't just a "hot topic" thing. Is Russo a scumbag using his one good deed to get attention? Sure, but I'm also willing to believe this is the real story after hearing it from multiple sources.

It was a complete and Utter omnishambles & Russo deserves every bit of criticism he gets for it (Besides death threats), BUT it did give us the glorious gift of JBL getting knocked the f*** out

I absolutely will never in my entire life believe that Bart Gunn managed to knock out three people in exactly the same way in the same tournament.
He knocked out Williams as a shoot, and then the tournament became about him winning.

Vince Russo is a dumb out-of-touch racist I feel like this recurring quote should really use 'bigot' instead of racist, because it doesn't give the man proper credit for his sexism and homophobia.

Lizuka has a point.
Back to the OP: Yeah I've heard Cornette say this whole thing was Russo's idea too for this exact reason if I remember right.

Bruce Pritchard said the same thing about the reasoning being Brawl for All, too.

Russo is just as bad a person as JBL, so okay Vinny Ru.
You go back to thinkin' about the ratings, bro.

Yeah I've heard Cornette say this whole thing was Russo's idea too for this exact reason if I remember right. Nothing out there says both reasons didn't happen. Russo could have thought up the idea after the Layfield encounter and then found a way to bring it up in creative when they needed a way to bring in Williams.

Maybe in his mind he figured the final round would be JBL vs Wlliams But from my understanding guys had to agree and sign up to be in it. He'd have to assume JBL would sign up as well.

WWE wanted a way to get Dr Death over, Russo wanted someone to knock Bradshaw on his ass.

There are easier ways to book JBL to get his head kicked in than a entire tournament which caused multiple injuries to different guys.
They could have just booked a Blackman vs Bradshaw angle and told Blackman to stiff him

He knocked out Williams as a shoot, and then the tournament became about him winning. I can buy it, after Williams, he was up against guys who'd only progressed because they'd whined to management to try and stack the deck in their favour, making the actual fighters withdraw, Bradshaw would have been murdered by Blackman and Godfather had already lost to Severn. Gunn, as a Toughman contest competitor was the only guy in the tournament with any actual experience so there's no wonder he won against an overconfident brawler like Bradshaw, and Godfather, whose only actual win came against a guy half his size.
