Russo implied the company rushes through the preparation of some of its more important storylines, including coming up with story elements mere minutes before shows were due to air.
On the latest episode of Writing with Russo, the former WWE writer explained fleshing out wrestling storylines properly “takes time” and that WWE has a tendency to leave these kinds of creative decisions until the last minute.
Vince Russo served as Head Writer for WWE from 1997 to 1999, before jumping ship to rival promotion WCW.
RAW Underground was met with criticism from the beginning
Debuting on the August 3rd episode of Monday Night RAW, RAW Underground drew eyes as a separate entity from WWE’s usual wrestling programming. The Fight Club-style show presented WWE Superstars and newcomers in scripted combat situations, with a much darker tone than we’ve seen from WWE in recent years.
Most fans didn’t react well to the segments, resulting in RAW Underground being scrapped mere weeks after its debut.
