* [[Hulk Hogan]] was the biggest name in the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]], but when he signed with [[WCW]] in 1994, he was granted creative control over his matches, basically making him a [[God Mode Sue]].
* Long-time [[Professional Wrestling]] writer [[Vince Russo]] rose to prominence as the architect of the [[WWEWorld Wrestling Entertainment|WWF]]'s Attitude Era, the time in the late '90s when wrestling was at the peak of popularity thanks to a [[Darker and Edgier]] style (mostly pioneered by [[ECW]], but that's besides the point). However, most wrestling fans discounted the contributions of Vince and Shane McMahon in keeping Russo's raging ego, short attention span, and strange proclivities in check. Since leaving the WWF, he ran WCW into the ground, buried under a morass of dangling plot threads, ridiculous gimmicks, and [[Worked Shoot]]s.
** Don't forget there's a good reason [[TNA|they chant "Fire Russo"]] during the "Reverse Battle Royal Gauntlet Which Then Becomes a Scissors On a Pole Match - With Two People Left You Have to Then Put Up on a Rope From Atop A Ladder Then Fetch it Back Down and Shave the Head of the Loser" match. Or the [[Wall Banger|"Electrified Six Sides of Steel" match]].
