Dear Vince Project

[Kidd Dibiase]

Vince Russo released a video on YouTube announcing the launch of the "Dear Vince Project." You can watch Russo's video on the new movement below. The video is addressed to WWE's Vince McMahon, asking for change and improvement for WWE's TV product. Russo encourages fans to help change Raw with the hashtag #DearVince with their suggestions and tips to make Raw Better.


Russo also plans to book his own version of Raw every week in the VIP section of his website, pyroandballyhoo.com. He plans to book the show based on how he would have done so in the Attitude Era of WWE. According to Russo, he wants to be part of the "solution" and not "part of the problem.

yea but do the suits at corporate share that same philosophy or are they just marking things off a checklist?

 

[The Rainmaker]

Vince Russo is unable to take responsibility for anything he's ever done wrong. He wrote an article last week blaming the decision on Arquette winning the title on Tony Schiavoni because Schiavoni pitched it to him:

After laying out the show, the meeting broke, and everybody starting going about their business. As I was gathering my notes, I was approached by announcer Tony Schiavone. Let me say this – I thought the world of Tony, and still do, not only for being one of the greatest announcers of our time, but also because he was just such a down-to -earth, regular guy. There was no ego with Tony – it just wasn’t his nature.

“Hey, Vince, do you have a minute?” asked Tony.

“For you – I have all day. What is it?”

“You know, Vince, I was just thinking as you went over the show – what if – David Arquette won that tag team match and became the WCW World Heavyweight Champion?”

And, Tony said it just like that. Almost nonchalantly.

I can clearly remember being so taken off guard by Tony’s “what if”. When I was writing the show – that idea had just never crossed my mind. Not even for a second. And, at that moment, that was the appeal to me. If I had never even thought about it, what about the audience? Nobody in their right mind would ever see that coming.

Then my mind began to go. Well, it “could” work, being that Eric Bischoff is in the match, and if David pinned Bischoff by way of a fluke, he wasn’t beating one of our wrestlers. That’s doable and believable, I thought. Then I went on – this would surely bring us main stream press which the company badly needed at the time. And, with David loving the business the way he does – he’d take that belt EVERYWHERE! Even The Tonight Show, I thought.

I remember cutting my thoughts short because Tony was there waiting for my reply. At that point I turned to Tony and said, “Bro, I never even thought of that; it never even crossed my mind. And THAT’S what I like about it!” I then suggested to Tony that we call all the agents back into the room, including Eric Bischoff, who was President of TNT/TBS Brad Siegel’s appointed WCW consultant at the time, and bounce the idea off them.

From there, we quickly gathered everybody back in the room, and I threw Tony’s suggestion out there. Everybody pondered it, and we discussed it back and forth. By the time we were done talking, it was unanimous – we were going to shock everybody and put the belt on David Arquette by way of pinfall over Eric Bischoff. Nobody in that room voiced an opposing opinion – NOBODY. So, with everybody now on the same page, we all went back to work.


Vince Russo is full of shyt

he's right in the sense that there's lack of effort.

No reason we should be seeing the same tag matches everyweek and then at a PPV.....and then rematches on the following RAW.
