10 Things You Didn't Know About Vince Russo

2. Getting Threatened By Goldberg And Shawn Michaels

I, myself, while never having gotten into an €œactual€ fight while serving my duties of Head Writer at WWE, WCW and TNA, was actually threatened on not one . . . but, two occasions. The first time was by Shawn Michaels after I cut a promo on him to his friend Triple H, for hijacking the WrestleMania 15 main event by getting into Steve Austin€™s ear, who then talked Vince McMahon into changing the three way between him, the Rock and Mick Foley into a two-way, leaving Mick the odd man out. And, also a few years later by Bill Goldberg who was not happy when I needed him to do a job to Scott Steiner. Thankfully, I was able to get out of both predicaments completely unscathed. In another backstage 'confrontation' I also once saved Sunny€™s life, while putting my own on the line! I actually attempted to stand between Luna, and her target which she INTENDED TO KILL!!! The encounter ended with Luna spearing me into a laundry cart. I swear, Luna could have taken 50% of the MALE roster in a fight during her hey-day. Luna, bless her heart, had it out for ALL the divas who in her mind weren€™t €œactually€ wrestlers. She despised Sable, and made it very difficult for her to find her way early on. But, if you knew Luna, you loved her, she really did have a big heart. That was just the €œold school wrestler€ in her that would rear its ugly head from time to time. I€™m also proud to say that about three years ago, I pulled €œAwesome Kong€ off radio personality €œBubba the Love Sponge€.
