.. So keep going with the status quo and ratings will be even worse than they were in 1995/1996. Doesn't sound very smart to me  You're not going to convince anyone that paying Vince Russo to write is a good idea. It won't help, it'll only hurt. And it's ridiculous to imply anything different. That's why this "idea" is being mocked. Exactly, this isn't a "Things don't need to change" response, this a "No, you don't set your dick on fire because your head itches" argument. |

I would rather bring in zombie Chris Kreski. In a just world, Chris Kreski would be as well-known a name in wrestling writing circles as Russo, Cornette and Heyman. It's probably because his run as the head writer in the WWF (late 1999-late 2000) was only about a year, only had a few memorably "bad" things happen in it (the hilariously dark in hindsight Big Show/Bossman feud, Mae Young giving birth to a hand and the evening gown match between Patterson and Brisco) and, sadly, the fact that he's actually been dead for over a decade now, meaning that he never became a talking head on the internet shoot circuit like Russo and Cornette. |

Screw Russo, they should bring in Jim Cornette.
He'll change things up, right?

When Vince McMahon brought him back in 2002, Russo was let go in less than a week.
If he was useless then, imagine Russo's value now.
Del Rio would end up slapping him and getting fired. Every Hispanic and African-American wrestler would be buried. The WWE doesn't need any more bad press and also getting sued because of racism.
Storyline wise, I've seen everything Russo has done, he can't create anything compelling nowadays. One week Kevin Steen would be kidnapped by ninjas and a month later he would return as if nothing happened.

WWE needs someone new to be allowed to write the stories as head writer, not someone from the past. Relying on the past while not building towards the future is how WWE got into this mess. So Russo/Ferrera/Disco coming back? Hell no!
Add Cornette and Bischoff to the "hell no"s as well. They are also people who is trapped in the past as far as booking goes.

Sure why the f*** not. Russo takes To much shit All justified...this are some of the worst shit he ever booked: Incest angles. Abortion angles. Viagra on a pole matches. Piñata on a pole match. Vince Russo world champion. David Arquette. Judy Bagwell on a forklift. First blood DNA match. Coming up with the TNA name. Reverse battle royal. Electrified cage match (it wasn't Dutch Mantell it was f***ing Russo). Barbed wire Christmas tree. Blindfold match inside a cage. Last rites match. |

Its regressing anyways. What they are doing now aint working. Some new ideas could help stimulate business. These two wouldn't give you new ideas, though. That's the bigger problem that leads to asking if they should bring back Russo/Ferrara: There are no bookers who can give you "NEW IDEAS" that people heard of. The only world-famous bookers in the business are people who were bookers years ago (and are stuck in the year their work was a success), or writers who were failed experiments and then went to the shoot circuit (and have the same problem, only weren't as successful.) Short of WWE doing a pipe-dream level move like "WWE is officially teaming up with GreyDogSoftware to make a worldwide TEW/EWR diary contest- top five writers every 3-6 months get signed to the Performance Center to be trained as members of the booking team", the only way to find the next wave of great ideas is a total crapshoot. |

I find it amazing that in wrestling everyone always begs for Russo to shake things up. If Russo never had a WWE creative job before and got one in 2015, he would have nowhere near the freedom he did in 1998 compared to 2015. Especially with the absurd amount of writers they have staff, the hourly rewrites, and Vince having final say on everything. Like I remember in Jericho's first book he was talking about how he was impressed with WWE when he first met with Vince on how they wrote scripts to shows weeks in advance and wasn't a chaotic unorganized mess like in WCW where they would re write the script as the show was on air. Like that's the big reason why there hasn't been a famous writer since The Attitude Era unless they themselves are already a big name (Stephanie McMahon, Paul Heyman, Jim Cornette, Michael Hayes, etc)
In other words there is no savior right now that can shake things up. The only way for things to shake up is if Vince relaxes, lets the writers write, making a thousand demands, and stop changing his mind every hour.

You might as well hire Dixie Carter to do all the PR Work while you're at it, and Rob Black to be the new promoter.

At least each episode of Raw wouldn't feel like you are watching a repeat of the previous week under Russo/Ferrara.

I still want Russo to run one show. One singular Raw is his. Non-canon and as crazy as he wants.
Make it a network special. It'll be madness and I'll love it for that. It works another way in proving he doesn't have it and will end his BS
