Which Russo reign was the worst in WCW?

I was wondering which of Russo’s two reigns in WCW as head writer was the worst? Was it his first reign (late ’99 to January 2000) or his second (mid 2000s)? Personally, I think his first reign was the worst. WCW in late ’99 was truly some of the worst television I have ever seen. I haven’t seen much of his second reign as I tuned out of WCW by that point and switched over to the WWF.

Yeah, but in 99 they were at least competitive, even if Russo did drive off four of their biggest stars (five if you count Raven). Things were at least salvageable. The 2000 run eroded ratings and buyrates to the point where they had to sell the company. And have you SEEN New Blood Rising?
