I'm just amazed at how many people defend Russo today. It just does my head in. He has sucked everywhere but the WWF, which was carried by the hottest star of all-time and is notoriously known for being micromanaged by a man who was on the back foot during that period. I just don't get the narrative of "Vince Russo comes in, his brain makes things hot." It's correlation; not causation.
I'd agree with Trips benefitting more than Taker. There's this inflated significance to Trips that gets him scaffolded up there before he even means anything. Taker meant something first, at least.
