Is there any possibility russo is a secret "creative consult

[111111]

Allow me to elaborate an odd what if that just came to my head.

WWE seems in a bit of a desperate position at the moment, they've reached out to Bruce Pritchard, they've even decided to consult Dana warrior on creative, Heck Jarrett is working in creative now and that was apparantly a completely burned bridge.

We have no idea the extent of the roles and amount of influence of any of these people, its also a logical assumption that if vince is reaching out to unexpected places for ideas he may be reaching out elsewhere.

It's clear over the last few weeks some things have changed in the product and they are trying different things out.

Is it not outside the realms of possibility McMahon is talking to russo, I mean don't bookers and writers usually rehash the same ideas they've done before over and over, wasn't it Russo behind "Goldberg won't follow the script" and "everything on the show is fake apart from this"

Isn't Jarrett meant to be close with russo? If even if russo isn't speaking to vince maybe he's speaking to Jarrett.

Announcing say Pritchard being consulted makes sense as Pritchard has a successful podcast so saying he's worhjibg with the company creates a bit of hype, with russo they'd go out of their way to keep it quiet just like tna did.

Vince McMahon tried to bring Vince Russo back in 2002 and Stephanie put a stop to it. Now that we're back to a point where Vince is rehiring his old cronies in again? Sure.

Unlikely, but sure.

Dude is back, has taken over Jeff Jarrett’s body like Freddy in Nightmare on Elm Street 2, and is booking the WWE. I’m convinced of it. There’s just too much Russoness going on here.

[Push R Truth]

If you watch closely you can see Russo in No Way Jose's konga line

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

This is wrestling. There's a possibility of anything.

That said: no. He isn't.

[Mozenrath]

As if Russo wouldn't immediately blow the whistle on himself bragging.

[zappa]

No. Whatever you think of Russo a show he writes is never boring. Raw is incredibly boring.

[Final Countdown Jones]

I don't think we're seeing the return of Russo so much as we're seeing WWE in panic mode. It's trying to go everywhere and do everything because ratings are down and they didn't really have a structured idea for what change would really look like. Because WWE is bad at learning the right lesson from past successes, I think they're going to the well with worked shoot shit because it's worked in the past and they're stumped on how to do anything else right now. I think it's worth noting here that even Vince Russo's most outspoken critic has fantasy booked a version of The Invasion that relies on "(X) won't follow the script", and he's the guy people believe is the fervent defender of wrestling's realism. I think we're just seeing standard operating procedure, this is desperate hotshot booking and little else.

[Mister Pigwell]

It's not quite crazy enough.
It's Russoesque with the worked shoots for sure but it's missing the batshit idiocy.

[Perd]

Nah, a sure sign that Russo is skulking around, is if there’s a pregnancy angle.

you just need to eat some lead paint chips to book like Russo. You don't need to pay him

you mean like steph booking Becky vs Charlotte for the title at fastlane.

but then Ronda appears and steph awards back the title rounds dropped. so the match becomes a Becky loses she is fired,wins she is in the main event of WM....

which Ronda helps Becky win the week after beating the crap out of her.

They have former TNA guys Jarrett, Abyss, Sonjay and Helms on the payroll. This can’t be a coincidence.

[The Legend of Groose]

As soon as we see something on a poll, we'll know.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

The thing we need to keep in mind is that this kind of stuff wouldn’t just be isolated to one or two angles under Russo. The WHOLE SHOW would be like this.

[fw91]

won't be convinced until the first on a pole match.

I mean, considering how much WWE clearly admires TNA when it was more notable, it wouldn't be the biggest surprise ever. WWE's booking in general is already extremely Russo-like so if it was revealed in some crazy conspiracy tomorrow that he was actually doing it all along I wouldn't be all that shocked.

Alternatively MGS2 style, Jarrett for some reason grafted one of Russo's arms onto himself and took over his mind (possibly after the tortilla accident of 2018 cost Jarrett an arm)

[Feyrhausen]

Yeah Russo has a huge ego. He wouldn't be content to consult and stay hidden. He would have leaked some memo by "accident" outing himself as working on the show.
