This week, Kayfabe Commentaries released the trailer for the new Breaking Kayfabe Vince Russo shoot interview. Watching it is quite the experience - particularly when asked to elaborate his on-record view that women do not possess the inherent ability to lead.

"Study the book of Genesis," he said, while in the same breath admonishing Dave Meltzer and the like for untrustworthy sources. There's a reference to the cross in the bible, but they hardly bloody cross-referenced it.

"Emotions!" came Russo's response, when asked what separates men and women in terms of leadership qualities. Gentle reminder that Russo worked under Vince McMahon. There is a glorious moment - or at least, one that does not make you weep - in which Sean Oliver crucifies Russo. He points out that Jim Cornette is the most emotional person he has ever encountered, irrespective of gender.

"Would you vote for Hillary Clinton, or Jim Cornette?" Oliver asked. The defeated look on Russo's face is priceless. "Aw, don't make me answer that," he said, knowing d*mn well he'd got got. It's almost as if biology doesn't automatically determine personality - something Russo himself says minutes later in the same trailer, when he refers to Jim Cornette as a "victim of his environment". As a man, though, shouldn't he, genetically, as prescribed by God himself, possess the ability to keep those hysterical emotions in check? Of course Russo can't keep his story straight. He never could.

For bonus points, Russo also claimed he isn't automatically racist for automatically writing Kalisto off. It's debatable, but Russo is definitely racist for booking five Mexicans to fight over a cash-stuffed piñata.
