Vince Russo's 10 Insights Into The Montreal Screwjob
10. Cornette And Russo Working Together
There was a brief period of time that I, Jim Cornette and Vince McMahon formed the WWE creative team . . . a VERY brief period of time. Obviously, with our different backgrounds and philosophies in professional wrestling, melding Jim and I on the same team in an effort to work together just wasnt going to happen. Even with the Great Vince serving as the mediator it was a struggle. With the instability of this group exploding right in front of your very eyes, Vince shortly put an end to this SCREAM TEAM. But firstly and notably, the three of us met for the creative concerning the Survivor Series that was going to be held in Montreal that weekend. Honestly, I didnt even know that there was a situation with Bret until I arrived at Vinces house early that week. It was there where he advised both Jim and me about Bret not wanting to do the job for Shawn in his home country of Canada.
