You do realize that people also trashed McMahon for putting the title on himself and all the other things you just listed.
Maybe so, but no one ever brings this up when discussing credibility of belts and such. All everyone talks about is "how stupid Russo is for making the WCW belt look worthless", and I rarely see anyone talk about how McMahon made the Royal Rumble, WWF, ECW, and IC title look just as bad.You do realize that people also trashed McMahon for putting the title on himself and all the other things you just listed.
I'll agree with that 100%No, the stupidest midcard/undercard devaluation was the Cruiserweight Chavo/Hornswoggle debacle.

I don't see how any of that was very believable compared to Russo and Arquette winning. Russo was kayfabe accidently speared through the cage wall and then vacated it next week, and Arquette pinned Eric Bischoff to win it. Not much different from what McMahon did I think.A lot of it has to do with booking. Both winning it, handling of it, and loosing it as it relates to McMahon were all handled believably. Russo and Arquette weren't handled well.
It's more of a "cherry on top" scenario. Russo put a belt that he basically made to be worth shit prior on himself as well as being instrumental with the downfall of the WCW company as a whole. Contrast that with McMahon's handling of WWF at the time and you can see the large difference. We had tons of years of entertainment out of Vince so it's easier to shrug it off where as Russo.. not so much.Many say that Russo highly degraded the WCW World Heavyweight Championship by putting the belt on himself and Arquette. But Vince McMahon did the same thing!
So you rather want to see someone crap on a part of this business just to see 5 minutes someone cry?And him winning the ECW title was amazing
Specially after watching so many ECW fans crying about that
It was funny!!
Oh yeah I'm a new fan started watching in 1998So you rather want to see someone crap on a part of this business just to see 5 minutes someone cry?
At least I know why wrestling is in such a shitty state. No wonder with such wonderful new fans
