Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted October 27, 2002 ....Vince Russo? Think about it. He came back for like 1 day (or whatever it was) and went to some meetings. Could he have given them this idea and the WWE is finally deciding to use it without Russo at the job? I doubt it, but then again....this whole angle is very Russoriffic, so who knows.

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted October 27, 2002 The angle comes from the writers trying to be like Russo. Which is even worse. Vince for some reason thinks he made a billion dollars because the storylines were "edgy". He made that money because Austin was the biggest star in the history of wrestling at that point in time. But Vince beleives what he wants to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BigPoppaKev Report post Posted October 27, 2002 Yeah I think there is zero chance Russo though of this. Especially with all these reports it was Kevin Dunn's idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which he could of taken from Russo when he had his meeting back when he was with the company for 1 day or whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted October 28, 2002 No, Russo would at least make his angles semi-interesting, be it in the "so bad it's funny" way or the "Jesus Christ, this makes sense...SWERVE!" way. Russo isn't as bad as THIS... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted October 28, 2002 I bet the necrophillia angle comes from the fact that CSI airs after RAW and necrophillia is something that CSI might (have they?) dealt with. WWE thinks whatever might go on CSI must mean big ratings since its a big ratings grabber for CBS.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted October 28, 2002 I don't think anything to do with necrophillia would air on CSI. Then again, I could be wrong. I've only watched the show a few times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Pop Culture God Report post Posted October 28, 2002 Russo's idea would have involved Kane's underage sexually submissive half-sister who he raped. At least it would resulted in pictures of half naked Asian chicks in schoolgirl uniforms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted October 28, 2002 I doubt Russo would go this far. The only wrestling personality that I would think could go this far (prior to Vince or whoever) is Rob Black of XPW, and he's probably shaking his head saying "why didn't I think of necrophillia first??"

Guest phoenixrising Report post Posted October 28, 2002 I have a theory on how the necrophilia angle got started. In "Have A Nice Day", Foley is talking about his "Lost In Cleveland" angle. Foley pitched to Dusty Rhodes about a brutal Vader match, and Dusty started talking about how Foley would get amnesia, he wouldn't remember who he was, etc. This is what happened to the angle, and Foley says that the general idea was good, but the writers took it in an entirely different direction. I have a feeling the necrophilia angle started this way too. The writers are sitting around thinking of stuff to do, one suggests HHH playing mind games with Kane by revealing that he killed someone a long time ago. Then someone decides that's not enough, and adds the whole stick-shift part and then just to top it someone suggests necrophilia. So it probably started off as something simple and took off on a weird tangent encouraged by the McMahons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jester Report post Posted October 28, 2002 Actually, when I saw the tape segment I thought that Steph had broken up with HHH, and this was the start of her vengeance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
