Jim Cornette on Vince Russo's Wrestling Booking
#1
Booking is a job of deciding the events and outcomes of a pro wrestling event. Mostly, bookers are thought to be the writers, but they are two different things: bookers decide the framework, but writers are those who do everything: decide the outcomes, write wrestler dialogue, and determine every move that a match would have. Bookers don't do that; no skits, just decide what happens and leave the rest to wrestlers. This difference is why pro wrestling feels so bland and forced; the wrestlers don't act like themselves; they get orders to act like how they act like.

Vince Russo is a writer that's associated with the success of the WWF's Attitude Era, where the company took a sharp turn from a kids only product to an adult-themed direction.

EDIT: Even more sauce:
