I was just considering…
With the one time authority on bad gimmicks, RD Reynolds hiring what many consider the worst gimmick creator of all time, Vince Russo, has WrestleCrap done a complete 180 from its origin? For all intents and purposes are we living in a post-Gooker society?

Yea, glad he admits it was horrible to do in hindsight and he killed it once he say how bad Hawk really was doing.

I mean, you’d hope so but it is nice to see even someone like Russo not trying to justify something as shitty as that Hawk angle.

That and RD going after people in the comments on these columns is not a good look. Let people shit on Russo! RD clearly had no issue doing it in his books/letting people do it in his forums. |

That's understandable, I don't blame you at all for that. Especially considering the storylines he felt were fine and nobody understood, bro! |

writing the bookon WCW's death and then letting someone with the personality of a Home Shopping Network mannequin like Bischoff run through you in front of everyone must really do a number on you.

I like us being able to discuss these columns as long as its in a civil matter.
Like this week's column is basically Russo crapping on the Hunter Hearst Helmsley character, since of course he had nothing to do with it.
He then claims he started working secretly with Triple H to be the DX Hooligan with the fued with Mick Foley (Despite this for the first few months, Triple H was just more aggressive than a hooligan) and then makes it sound like Triple H did the I am the game promo somehow during this 1997 feud, when he did it in 1999.
And then the last paragraph is just him really kissing up to Hunter, so probably in his mind he could have a job again one day.

Was the blue blood character even all that hated to warrant an entry here?

writing the bookon WCW's death and then letting someone with the personality of a Home Shopping Network mannequin like Bischoff run through you in front of everyone must really do a number on you. I wonder how Bryan Alvarez would have done if he responded to the challenge and took a debate with Bischoff seriously? Unfortunately I can’t give Alvarez hypothetical credit because as fas I know he never met Bischoff in a similar setting. At least Reynolds agreed to a meeting. But Reynolds just came off so bad in that encounter. It was like CM Punk was booked against Brock Lesnar in a pro wrestling match. Then right after the bell rang Brock said, “This is a shoot, brother.” |
