Awesome / Vince Russo

Go To

  • After seeing Jeff Jarrett lay down to give Hulk Hogan the victory at Bash at the Beach 2000, fans were understandably upset and confused. This led to one of the rare times they would cheer for Russo, as he explained precisely what happened and made his own frustration abundantly clear in the process.
    • He would also then book a match that same night between Jarrett and Booker T to give someone who actually gave a damn about wrestling a chance at the title. Booker would win and go one to be the one wrestler in the last days of WCW who managed to hit the main event scene and get over with fans.
  • Calling out Triple H in regards to why Chyna has yet to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Especially considering those who have been added having done just as bad, if not worse things than her in their personal lives. Say what you will about him, but Russo will stick up for his friend.
  • Vince Russo’s time in WCW was undoubtedly polarizing, but what is also undoubted is that Russo did his damndest to promote the undercard and try to elevate new talent. Were the gimmicks terrible? Yes. But underutilized wrestlers were also getting airtime on TV in storylines and not getting sidelined.
