Doubtful. To his credit, Russo was the one who really pushed Vince out of the "good guys and bad guys" concept. That cannot be denied.
With that said, I think the "shades of grey" concept can work (Heyman fooled around with it alot in ECW back in the day too) but the characters and angles to those characters have to make sense. For instance, Sting and Angle having some sort of comrodery (sp?) makes no freaking sense whatsoever. Angle feuding with Christian also is goofy and nonsensical to say the least as well.
That was in reference to the post above mine, suggesting that Vince needed convincing to have three minute TV matches and seven minute main events. All the character stuff in Vince's concepts are stuck in the 80s fo sho.
I'm looking forward to Runt acting drunk tonight.
