One phone call could save WWE.

He had 2 good years out of 20 plus.Hes garbage
>>
>>12948224
He didn't even contribute anything significant in those two years.
>>
>>12948199
WWE is about content creation now, not booking compelling TV. He could unironically do better than Tony Khan but that's not saying much.

How's the basement Vince?
>>
>>12948224
Surely it would be magic once again with Vince McMahon "the great filter" you dumb mark?
>>
>>12948274
The filter has been malfunctioning for nearly 20 years anon

>>12948242
lol he most certainly could not and you're free to watch his Nitro or...god forbid...Impact booking runs to prove otherwise
>>
>>12948239
Yeah you know it, you worked there obviously.

McMahon is finished.

Yeah, but they won't call Steve Austin
>>
>>12948746
Ratings went up under Russos first reign. Second reign he was working with a committee and they still did solid numbers, not bad enough that would call for a cancellation of the show.
>>
>>12948199
Outside of Deadly Game and the Foley arc, what did Russo book that actually drew?
>>
>>12948820
People used to say Edge, but lol
>>
>>12948746

Funniest thing about this gif is Russo actually improved WCW's ratings at the time but don't let that stop you posting your memes you cocksucking dirtsheet dweeb.
>>
>>12948820

Are you thick?
>>
>>12948342
Both are better than AEW.
>>
>>12948848
This is >worthy over just Nitro let alone Impact
>>
>>12948844
Actually I'm pretty thin due to years of being a coke addict.
Now that I've answered your question, answer mine regarding which angles Russo booked that actually drew money.
>>
>>12948931
How about the whole show called RAW is WAR that millions of people tuned into every week that he wrote the scripts for.
>>
>>12948896
Russo brought TNA to its highest levels
>>
>>12948957
And they still couldn't draw the worst AEW PPV buyrate
>>
>>12948820
He wrote WWF for two years during the biggest ratings surge ever. Deadly Game was a one night tournament and the Foley arc (presumably you mean his run at world title) lasted for a month or two. So... about 22+ more months of television on top of that pal.

>Thinks this is some gotcha
Crash TV works in the short term, but absolutely fails in the long term.
>>
>>12948896
WCW in 99 and 2000 was better than any wrestling today.
>>
>>12949009
I watched it live cunt. No it fucking was not.
>>
>>12948199
>PG Rating stops him in his path
Nothing good would happen, unless they were able to go back to TV-14 rating.
>>
>>12949036
If you really are old enough to have watched it live you would never say today's wrestling is better. Unless you're homosexual or transgender.
>>
>>12949058
PG is not excuse for piss poor television
>>
>>12949114
Yeah it is. You know even The Office and Friends have a higher age rating than WWE now?
When you're on PG, there's too many creative constraints and no edgyness / funny content that might offend soccer moms allowed.
>>
>>12949080
Or I'm just not a zoomer LARPer. Can't say the same for (You)
>>
>>12948262
>>12948342
Kys Khan shills
>>
>MUH PG

WWE doesn't even push close to the PG line.
And WCW was PG during its hayday.
>>
>Big E's momma in a shark cage on a pole match
>>
>>12949169
PG means parental guidance. WWE is doing TV-G content. All it comes down is a 70+ year old man being at the throne
>>
>>12949169
WCW beat WWE for a long ass time while being PG.
You realize that the first time WWF actually became TV 14 was in Jan 99' when they were already beating WCW and had their fair share of raunchy angles. Shit, DX called people Faggots on TV and it was on a PG show. The rating doesn't mean that much, especially in [current year] when even cartoons have some curse words in it.
>>
>>12949008
>lasted for two and a half years in WWF and for another couple years after that when they tried to imitate it even poorly

So when does it inevitably have to run out of steam then, ya retard?
>>
>>12949674
Considering they stopped doing it In late 1999, and didn't pick it back up until 2015?
>>
>>12949435
>DX called people Faggots on TV and it was on a PG show. The rating doesn't mean that much
yeah, try doing that on TV now. Age ratings are strict now. No current kids cartoons have curse words in them.
>>
>>12949184
You're just parroting the same recycled opinion about it. Anyone who actually watched it would know its better than today's wrestling.
>>
>>12949208
Using your time productively, Vince?

Russobros...
>>
Russo Bros rise up
>>
>>12948242
Whats the endgame of the content creation meme? End up making thousands of hours of shitty content nobody watches?
>>
Russo is the goat.
His problem in WCW was that he went to far with his "everyone knows wrestling is scripted so lets go with that". Oddly enough once social media became a thing Russo's WCW ideas materialized organically.
Put Russo in charge of one of Raw or Smackdown for 2 years and I guarantee it would be a better show.
>>
>>12949684
Wtf lol

With Steph and HHH there I doubt Russo would be able to do anything
>>
>>12948199
I so badly wish it would happen but i know it won't sadly
>>
>>12950055
Yes, because the customer is now a handful of broadcasters, not actual wrestling fans. As long as they bundle it up with other shit, advertisers will pay. Until that formula is broken like cable is now WWE doesn't have to give a shit.
>>
>>12948199
How does the WWE need "saving" when they're making more money than they ever have?
>>
>>12951775
It's not sustainable. They're squeezing more and more money out of a smaller and smaller number of "whale" fans supplemented by money marks at Fox and in shithole Arab countries. Eventually the audience will shrivel down to a nub and they'll discover they can no longer function. The house of cards is collapsing before our eyes and the e-drones have their heads buried in the sand.
>>
>>12951731
So eventually they may realize "hey nobody is watching this shit we are paying for"
