Well, I don't think we need anymore proof to say that Russo and Ferrera are not the saviors of WCW. Their antics to this point have been nothing short of pitiful. Maybe they 'shot their load' while in the employ of the WWF but it would be nice if they could get over their infatuation with Vince McMahon long enough to come up with ONE original storyline!

We've seen some signs of this already, with Madusa winning a belt in WCW about a month after Chyna does it (more believable in the WWF, who cares about Madusa!?). We've seen David Flair run around like a deranged whacko talking to an inanimate object (Al Snow). The only difference here is that Al's conversations with head were at least mildly entertaining, while Flair talking to a crowbar is just plain idiotic. Did his father approve of this?! Again, this was much more entertaining in the WWF.

There's more proof. Let's bring back Hacksaw Jim Duggan and give him the EXACT SAME gimmick he had in the WWF, and for all these years! So we have to change some other characters to accommodate him, so what? Juvi as the Rock? Brad Armstrong as Road Dogg? Jeff Jarrett as the exact same character he was in the WWF? Just what the hell is going on around here?! Now there's talk of a "legends vs. powers that be" feud in the future. Great, another NWO, Austin vs. McMahon, employees vs. employers storyline. We've seen this all before!

And don't get me started on Oklahoma.

Well, what we saw on Starcade on Sunday is, and I quote, "Montreal all over again". Well I have just one piece of advice for R&F: GET OFF THE STUPID MONTREAL GIMMICK FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! Stop taking all these stupid, childish shots at the WWF and come up with your own product! Yeah, I know, it's HARD to come up with new ideas and you probably don't have any left, but could you please stop putting all your old WWF stories into WCW. And stop playing out the "Bret got screwed, except it was Goldberg this time", or whatever the hell this is. You're just encouraging Bret to whine more!

I can't believe how badly Vince and Ed dropped the ball on this one. Here they have a glorious chance to get some attention for themselves, to draw attention to all the writers who make the show who were previously invisible. They KNEW everyone would be watching them and what do they do? The exact same things they've been doing in the WWF. Nothing new, no creativity and certainly not anything that would draw more fans. Why would you watch their kind of programming on WCW when the WWF is (considered) the innovators of that type of programming, and besides, they do it much better up North!

The best thing R&F can do to show up the WWF is not to copy their characters, or storylines, or even play by play guys. It's to show that when the WWF lost Vince and Ed, they lost something they couldn't replace. Instead they did what everyone else does when the go to WCW; take their guaranteed contract and just start dogging it. They're complaining that they're not allowed to do what they did in the WWF because of Standards and Practices... WHAT THE HELL DID YOU EXPECT, YOU MORONS!?! Everyone, except apparently you Einsteins, knew this was going to happen!

They're getting paid how much money, and all they do is take cheap shots at their former employers on national television? If I was WCW, I'd be concerned that I was paying a bunch of cash for nothing at all, not that WCW knows anything about that (Hogan, Duggan, Piper, Warrior, etc etc etc)
