10 Major WWE Stars The Internet Completely Turned A Corner On 8

8. Vince Russo

Even though he’s a former WCW World Champion, Vince Russo is not a wrestler. He was a key figure in WWE during their most important period as well as somebody that’s also worked for WCW and TNA Wrestling.
If you polled wrestling fans about Russo the opinions would be mixed. Some people respect him for his role as Vince McMahon’s lead writer from the 1997 to 1999 we’ve come to know and love as The Attitude Era while others are quick to mention how he failed big time in WCW while also having so many hot & cold periods writing for TNA as well.
As mentioned, fans loved The Attitude Era. Russo was a key figure in that. He was the guy that got in Vince McMahon’s ear to say that what they were doing wasn’t working, so they needed to change. Russo played a key role in creating so many of the characters and storylines that helped WWE became the juggernaut that they were 15 years ago.
When fans are watching the Attitude Era on WWE Network they should remember that Russo was a huge contributor to that era. His contributions should be more celebrated than they are by a lot of his detractors.
