I voted D'Amore since I think you mean this Russo era. However, Russo's booking in TNA's early days was awesome and would switch to that if its an option.

D'Amore because I got interested while he was booking. I lost interest while Russo was booking.

I enjoyed the show when D'Amore was booking it. Hard to say that now.

A mix of the two would be really really nice.
And fire whoever makes the "have everyone possible show up on every episode of Impact" decision.

D'Amore's Canadian Destroyer is better.

Everybody was a vanilla midget when D'Amore booked. "Team Canada" was also the most boring heel group in the history of wrestling. Oh no, they're from Canada, boooo! U-S-A! U-S-A!
TNA went from being a smark show that drew a small group of forum dwellers to a show that is slowly gaining more casual fans by presenting a show more similar to WWE during the Attitude Era.

I don't see how they're WWE-lite. Russo's rehashing some stuff from when he wrote WWE, and WWE is rehashing stuff from when Russo wrote WWE, so who's really the "lite"?
I prefer wacky storylines to watching bodybuilders win all the belts and put the crowds to sleep at every PPV. McMahon is keeping the WBF alive through Lashley and Batista.

Neither
Russo - Too much focus on skits and not enough wrestling.
D'Amore - Spotlight hog and plays favorites.

D'Amore's stuff was really good, and the matches were better than what Russo's been coming up with.

Give me what each contributed and I'll vote. Here's a summary... D'AMORE: * Old school "minimalist" aproach to characters and storylines * Less sports entertainment, more focus on in-ring action * Less developed characters * Did appear on screen as the manager of the Team Canada stable RUSSO: * Much emphasis on "sports entertainment" * Less focus on in-ring action, more emphasis on promos, angles, skits * More development for characters and personalities * Does not appear on camera |

They both sucked, really I disliked D'amore a lot he would show up in EVERY damn program even ones he was not involved in, often get the spotlight ahead of HIS guys,
book his guys as top guys, and well he also copied some russo stuff.
there was more wrestling action though..eh

I don't think D'Amore sucked, but I don't think he was great, either. He just didn't suck. Unlike Russo. Russo sucks. |
