He said about literally walking down the aisle not knowing what he was going to say, but the spontiniety (sp) would bring out something personal/real and it worked - the fans could see it was genuine and believed in it.

I know Russo has his critics, but I do agree with his philosophy that often the key to getting a wrestler over is to pick out something real about them and blow it up, e.g. Steve Austin was a real redneck growing up, so playing the role would have felt a hell of a lot more natural (and thus came across that way) rather then the awful Ringmaster gimmick.


It wasn't Russo's philosophy. I've heard Micheal Hayes say it an awful lot of times that the best gimmicks are the guys themselves with part of their personality turned up to 11. Mick Foley, Steve Austin, The Rock, Ric Flair, Shawn Micheals, they're all proof of this.






When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train

Lordsofpain.net suggests that Playboy's new editor refuses to allow the magazine to be associated with Pro Wrestling.

Traci Brooks' edition is now a tribute to Farrah Fawcett and Brooks will appear on the e-mailing list edition.






We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

After having read both of these guys auto bio's that becomes very obvious and as you say it works.
It also means they dont have to go far to get new source material as any thing they can think they can say :wink:
An example of scripting not working was the other year when Hulk Hogan was on the mic v's Vinny Mac and the Hulk got a line wrong.
It fell apart becuase The Hulkstertm had nowhere to go for help as it wasn't him writing/thinking it.






If you only knew the POWER of the dark side.

Can Chavo and Bourne just wrestle already and WWE release Hornswoggle please.

WWE are quick to point out things that went wrong with WCW and not highlight the good parts of the shows of which there were many. WWE were very lucky that WCW made those mistakes and that Turner Broadcasting got took over, because otherwise WCW might still be around.

Some of the wrestlers on RAW must be so unmotivated right now, that show needs turning around. Gail Kim has gone from putting on some of the best women's matches ever seen against Awesome Kong to wrestling completely unforgettable matches and screwing up, you wouldn't think it was the same person.

Oh and search for HBK vs. Triple H. European Title- Raw 1997 on Youtube.
