10 Things You Didn't Know About Vince Russo

8. I Actually Love A Good, Well-Thought Out, Action-Packed Wrestling Match!

What I LOATHE is a bad, FAKE wrestling match. To this day, Savage/Steamboat from WrestleMania III is still my all-time favorite. WOW€”twenty-seven years later that really says a lot. By €œFAKE€ wrestling I mean the clotheslines that are missed by 3 feet, the guy getting pounded in the corner without actually trying to defend himself, the phantom €œbump€ that wrestlers tend to take on their own and the €œgirl scout€ rabbit punches that couldn€™t hurt a dead fly! I also DESPISE referees being made to look absolutely STUPID! In my humble opinion, there€™s no place for that in wrestling. You simply have to make the product as €œrealistic€ as you possibly can, otherwise nobody is going to buy it in this day and age.
