...to lead the creative team
After Russo left in 1999, Vince McMahon only hired Hollywood writers to his creative team....it was a risky business move to only have Hollywood writers who have no or little wrestling knowledge...but it turned out to be a sucess....
Chris Kreski would be the new creative director of the creative team and would take Russo's spot and also have total control of the creative process......his creative team was an all Hollywood staff, he even had people on there he already worked with....like Tony Blacha and Brian Gerwitz...I can't remember the other 5 Hollywood writers WWE brought end...but these 3 were McMahon's favorites...
IMO, this Hollywood team did a great job...we had alot of great storylines...and alot of good booking...there was a sense of direction...and you can tell that everything was planned out....It was reported that Kreski used a storyboard to help with his storyline planning...and the writers planned 3 or 4 months in advanced....
Since 2000 was such a great year for the WWE, could this happen all over again if McMahon were to give a writer from Hollywood, and actually give him the creative team..with little input from him....like Chris Kreski
Can you believe that Brian Gerwitz was part of that creative team???....He now leads RAW...didn't he learn anything from his former boss Chris Kreski????
