10 Embarrassing Times Wrestlers Tried To Look Cool
5. Vince Russo In General
Now that he is out of the picture forevermore, and not actively killing the careers of really talented wrestlers you want to see succeed, one can look back and laugh at the drastic extent to which Vince Russo thought he was hot friggin' sh*t.
This is a man who walked around the WCW locker room with a baseball bat thinking he was the hardest guy in the building, who got up in the face of Goldberg, and generally adopted the snarling disposition of a street tough at all times. He wore a helmet and looked like an a**hole at one of those times, admittedly, but by then, he'd already became a total mar-uk for himself.
He was even funnier in TNA. If you watch his various returns and early big angles, you will marvel at the deafening volume at which he instructed poor Mike Tenay to say the word "SH*T".
HOLY SH*T IT'S VINCE RUSSO Tenay once screamed in a tone that would adequately have captured the seismic shock of seeing Jesus Christ of Nazareth in the flesh.
Russo himself was fond of saying the word himself, of course, because he was primarily interested in coming across as the most dangerous and controversial edgelord of all time.
YOU PIECES OF SH*T, it's AJ Styles! was a line of his. Genuinely.
He just loved despising the audience because he hated and was better than them.
