Russo On Booking
Vince Russo has a new joint blog with Blake Mitchamore on CSRWrestling.com. Mitchamore talks about Reigns booking while Russo discusses what should dictate booking. Here’s a sample of what Russo had to say:
I can tell you first hand, NOBODY looks at the ratings in today’s game the way we did back then. TNA is almost oblivious to the ratings, rather they chose to go with the views and opinions of whoever is in Dixie Carter’s ear at the time. I always despised that way of booking, simply because nobody’s opinion matters, but the masses who watch the show. They are the ones that you must listen to when they dictate what direction they want you to go in. But, don’t be confused, again, I’m talking about the masses, not the minority with the loudest voice.
I know it’s different today, I see that it’s different today, but the numbers are clearly telling us over the years that forcing a “Chosen One” down the gullet of your fan base isn’t necessarily working.
