Yeah it would have been good to hear more about how shoddily that takeover was handled.

Hey Marc, do you remember why J.J. Dillion's name was supposedly mud, in the WWF? Something about up and quitting, without much warning and going back to WCW and Vince being upset with that?
JJ later told Cornette that he was upset that when the WWF had money worries in the 90's, they cut the salaries of the wrestling related employees but none of the non-wrestling employees. So JJ was only staying there until he could sell his house and be free to leave.
Do you think that Vince was relying on the loyalty of wrestling people to the business, to want to stay even wirh less money and equally thought that people that to whom it was just a job would leave if he dared cut their salaries? I know from my last job that they'd rely on loyalty of long-standing employees to cut their hours and give them to newer employees, to keep them happy.

It's a good way to see it. But JJ was also the head of talent relations at the time, so he knew how much every wrestler was making and this was quite handy to WCW

On Stephanie, Cornette's long said that she's not a wrestling person but if you ever wanted anyone to talk to a non-wrestling person about the WWE, she'd be the one to do it.

I just wish we could go back to late 2000 and keep her away from head of creative. As soon as she got there, her angle with Kurt (pun intended) was dropped because Nose thought "it wasn't believable". God bless
