10 Things That Would Have Happened If Vince Russo Booked Every WWE Era

10. Hulk Hogan Swerve Turn!

The Mega Powers Explode! angle was the Golden Era of the WWF at its absolute peak.

It spanned years. It allowed the WWF to get two major acts over - the tandem itself and Randy Savage's resulting Macho King heel character - while at the same time reinforcing Hogan and creating scope for the Savage/Elizabeth reunion at WrestleMania VII. To this day, that remains one of if not the most emotional and heartwarming moments in wrestling history. With one tag team, the WWF drew monster ratings on major network television and popped the biggest buy rate of the pre-Attitude Era.

The thing is, bro, what it is - everybody saw it coming. It doesn't matter that the best wrestling angles are predictable because the idea is to condition fans into literally buying the telegraphed outcome. Everybody saw it coming! Everybody wanted it to happen, but that was never the point for Russo. Where was the excitement? Where was the unpredictability? Where was the swerve? In Russo's hands, Hogan and Elizabeth would have turned heel in this alternate timeline.

As for the emotional climax to Randy Savage's 'Mania VII retirement? Women, to Russo's mind, are incapable of neither loyalty nor unconditional love. Elizabeth would have low-blowed him and entered into a lesbian angle with Sensational Sherri.
