Most of you don't seem to realize the politics 'n that Russo had to put up with in WCW.. which is why most of the time things didn't make sense because certain people would switch gears before matches etc...

In fact, some fans think what Punk did was so cool that they started calling wrestlers with their real names on wrestlingforums. Phil, Dwayne, Oscar and Paul but boo hoo Goldberg refuses to follow the script, the business is dead
Here is another important moment from this era. Vince Russo cuts Ric Flair's hair. Is that a water bottle at 7:34?

The storyline with CM Punk and Triple H was a one off. Apart from that feud and the famous shoot it's been business as usual. Plus it was very tame stuff - easy enough to follow - and the world has changed. There wasn't Twitter or Facebook 13 years ago and intenet useage has nearly doubled. I remember Eddie Guerero tamely 'breaking the script' in 1998 (same episode Warrior made his debut). Very few in the arena seemed to get it.
Due to Russo being entwined it what seemed like every storyline, it seemed to be every week. Blatant and what would be confusing for the time:
"You don't know the script"
"You don't know the storyline"
"Goldberg believes that this world was real, he could take everyone"

Undertaker also "Broke the script" at 1999...
Vince said that MARK started believing that he is his CHARACTER...

Looking back, how disrespectful of Bischoff to call in to Nitro to make his big announcement on Nitro (which some, at the time thought was all a work). He can't get out of the contract negotiations for a few hours and fly to Kentucky or wherever to thank the company, the tv-show and the fans that paid for everything in his life? His houses, kids college education, wife's jewelry!

The "funny" thing is - TNA turned into 100% garbage almost right after he joined them. And became watchable RIGHT after he left. Seriously.
Politics are politics and every booker books some stupid shit from time to time, but you can still easily smell Russo's shit during his clusterfuck non-wrestling shows - short as hell matches, no one looks strong/good, titles getting shit on, 100 boys being used and no one is getting over, etc, etc,etc.

The "funny" thing is you act like opinions are facts. Can you prove it with anything, I mean with statistics, PPV buys, ratings that it has become better?
You're not a fan of his writing and you think the TNA after Russo is better but that is not fact, only your opinion. There are plenty fans who liked more TNA before the Hogan/Prichard era
