7 Reasons Vince Russo deserves more credit from Wrestling fans

#4 Under his tenure factions were all the rage

D-Generation X

An incredibly long list, to say the least, the ways in which the WWE’s main television product is different today than it was during Russo’s tenure is far too lengthy to go into here. However, one of the most obvious has to be that during the Attitude Era there were oodles of wrestling factions entertaining fans but today that is all but absent on the main roster.

Probably the most popular faction that ran roughshod over the WWE roster during Russo’s time as the head WWE writer, D-Generation X is still brought back from time to time decades later. On top of that act, many fans also loved groups like The Ministry of Darkness, The Corporation, The Brood, Too Cool, The Nation of Domination, and The Hart Foundation.

Clearly a big supporter of pushing factions, Russo also created many interesting groups during his time working for other companies. For instance, during Russo’s WCW tenure he had a hand in introducing groups like the Powers That Be, The New Blood, The Millionaires Club, and Team Canada. On top of that while Russo worked for TNA the company introduced the Main Event Mafia, Planet Jarrett, Fortune, Immortal, and Christian’s Coalition.
