10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (July 10)
4. Vince Russo Says WWE Are Too Picky About Helping Others
If there's one thing Vince Russo is not, it's happy to sit and let others do all the talking. In fairness, even though many wrestling fans poke fun at the guy's career, or would rather he didn't slate the chances of newcomers to the WWE system such as Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn being successful, Russo is a compelling interview guest, because he always has something to say.
During one of his most recent media appearances, the former chief writer for the WWF, WCW and TNA said that his support of Joanie 'Chyna' Laurer is not specifically because he wants to see her be entered into the WWE Hall Of Fame, it's because he feels compassion for her plight as a fellow human being, and isn't comfortable witnessing her be torn apart by others who don't know the woman.
Intriguingly, Russo then branched off whilst discussing Chyna, saying that WWE are far too picky when it comes to deciding which people they help. Citing the heavy publicity the company received for their work alongside the now-deceased Connor Michalek, the writer said Chyna should be receiving the same treatment, because she badly needs help.
