10 Genius Vince Russo Creations

Even though there were clear headliners in the WWF whilst Russo was writing, the man had the idea of providing a 'something for everyone' kind of show. This meant that even the most lowly names on the WWF totem pole would have something to sink their teeth into, even if it was simply a feud against another guy in a similar position. This was evident through the sheer amount of factions and groups that emerged whilst Russo was overseeing the creative team. From the nosebleed heights of D-Generation X, to The Nation Of Domination, then even further down the card to Al Snow's J.O.B Squad, there was clear stress placed on ensuring fans could easily identify the differences between each member of the roster. The 'Gang Wars' of 1997, pitting The Nation, The Disciples Of Apocalypse and The Boricuas against one another was arguably the start of this trend, but by having numerous different stables floating around, Russo and his staff made sure that there weren't many stars without a story to fall back on, giving their appearances purpose and meaning.
