How do you see him booking the talent? What angles could he come up with? I actually like Vince Russo (At least more than the typical IWC person). While A LOT of his ideas can be ridiculously bad he is seldom boring. Up until recently where ROH has started signs of life, ROH has considerably fallen from grace and could use some help. Now, I know any pairing of the two would be a match made in hell that the IWC would collectively take a HUGE shit on. Still, it can't hurt to have fun with this hypothetical.

This will sound really dumb on my part, but Russo in the company purely as on air character (manager) evem as outdated and way past tiresome as he is, night actually be entertaining.
That's a best case scenario, and even then I still don't think it would work as the ROH fans would hate the very concept so much they'd revolt in such a way to basically force the company to get rid of him.

Jim Cornette's head would explode.
If they didn't mention who was booking it, or if he worked under a pseudonym like Russ Novice, I do think his booking would be well received at first, the problems would arise about 1 and a half years in when he's gotten comfy and starts putting his more absurd ideas onscreen.

Russo as the on-screen authority figure of ROH would be amazing. |

Can you imagine the hate in ROH if the lights go out in the middle of an ROH Main Event and they come back on and Vince Russo is in the ring? The ROH fans would trash the place I can imagine the smarky rants right now.
Then he starts a Sports Entertainment group lead by Bob Holly.

If they had someone at the top to sign off on his ideas I would say he would be a good get. For all his faults the guy is possibly one of the best with cultivating and creating characters which is something that ROH has always struggled with, have him be a molder for people to fine tune themselves.

A one night show where Russo attempts to adapt his ideas and clichés to the Ring of Honor environment would be quite breathtaking. More then one night though would get very bad, very quick.

I kind of wished they had Russo came in at the beginning of the SCUM angle.

Man, I really want to see this now and I can't believe I'm saying that about Bob Holly in 2013. |
