To those non-wrestling fan who doesn't know Vince Russo. Vince Russo was a writer for WWF, WCW and TNA.

He is considered the most hated figure in professional wrestling in not a good way! His Pole Match was not everyone's favorite match stipulation! Most people think Vince Russo was responsible for the fall of WCW! TNA Fans would keep chanting "Fire Russo"

Shoji Yonemura is notorious for 3 bad SHT films. He have no respect for Super Sentai! Even Hiroshi Fujioka dislike the way his character was being portrayed in Heisei Rider vs Showa Rider! No wonder Toshiki Inoue will be writing Kamen Rider 1 over Shoji because Hiroshi Fujioka apparently was NOT a fan of Shoji Yonemura. I bet he wouldn't reprise his character if Shoji was a writer instead!

At this point I honestly don't know if I dislike Yonemura's writing more than Inoue's. Inoue's obsession with melodrama and forced conflict is legendarily terrible, but at least he's capable of some variation and he's actually done some good stuff outside of non-Agito Rider. Yonemura's biggest sin is that he only know how to write one plot. It got old ages ago, but at least we still got the Showa vs. Heisei movie out of him, which is possibly my favorite Rider movie ever.
