I'm actually going to with Stephanie on this one. Hey, at least Russo had one period of success (1998-1999 in WWF)

Stephanie.
Russo's writing contributions helped save the WWF and eventually help it lead to it's most financially successful era ever.

Not one of us knows. Unless we were part of the creative team with both of them then we don't know what they have or haven't done.

This is a very hard question. I honestly dont know Stephanies writing style as I do Russo. Stephanie only wrote for WWE so its hard to tell what her fingerprints are like. Russo went to WCW and TNA so thats how we really got a feel of his style.
I feel Russo needs a Vince McMahon to filter his ideas. In WCW he didn't have that, so they were really off the wall and a mess. I'm not too big on Russo, as I feel he is just a fan who stepped in shit with a hot storyline in WWE. I feel a lot of fans, maybe even posters, could book some awesome stuff for a period of time, but then eventually burnout, just like Russo.
I must say tho...Dusty Rhodes. He was recently booking Smackdown and I thought he was doing a great job.

Midgets, swerves, way too gimmick matches, blurry heel/face divide,celebritiy involvements..etc. All that's missing is the guy from scream. Even that leaked script pointed out he's the one doing all the segments. |

You'll know when Russo bites your company.
Next thing you know you got Dr.Claw gimmicks and OK Oklahoma being as unfunny as possible.

I'll vote for Stephanie just because she's a woman.

Stephanie either bores me or insults my intelligence.
At least the worst of Russo always has a tinge of excitement to it. He refuses to just sit back and write a boring show. I actually respect that.

Question for everyone:
Do you think if Russo had booked the invasion, rather than Steph, it would have worked? Or at least been less of a flop?

I say Stephanie. Russo tries to write wrestling shows. Stephanie writes soap operas. Question for everyone: Do you think if Russo had booked the invasion, rather than Steph, it would have worked? Or at least been less of a flop? Well, Russo doesn't have the bias of being part of the McMahon family, but I'm not sure if they would let him. Plus, didn't he want to continue the invasion when he was hired for that short time or something? |

Stephanie. Russo is "so stupid it's funny" bad. Most current WWE stuff, not as much.

In Steph's defense I will say that when she's bad, it's not awful. Just boring. When Russo's at his worst, it's catastrophic.

Russo is better. He does his best to get everyone involved and relevant.

I find it interesting that a thread devoted to criticizing the writing ability of two people has a title with such a glaring error in grammar in it.

As much as I love Stephanie as a hottie, ignoring writing, uh...Russo wrote most of the most exciting TV on the WWE in the late nineties and during the Attitude Era. Russo has done successful stuff.
I can't even think of anything successful Stephanie wrote, unless any of the times she showed off her body were her idea.
