Feel that migraine?
That torturous confusion?
That overwhelming urge to turn away?
That's what Vince Russo's booking achieved after 1998. Here. Here's the real caw-py, bro:
Vince Russo devised a successful formula that happened to strike a zeitgeist that has dated and will continue to date more poorly than any other pop cultural moment, and while there was a more holistic quality to the success of the Attitude Era than his detractors credit him for, he was still f*cked without Steve Aww-stin and the friggin' Rack, bro, because without them he sucked. He blew. Tasteless, incoherent, illogical, a scattershot of pungent pig sh*t fired so rapidly that none of it registered, Russo's backwards, swerve-tastic WCW was a disaster through which a searing hatred of pro wrestling permeated. WWE continues to cannibalise his opening segment format to this day, rendering Vince Russo almost literally a skidmark.
