1. Vince Russo Claims Vince McMahon Can't Make Stars Anymore
One Vince Russo has been pretty outspoken about the current WWE product over the past while, but - giving the guy credit - he does know how to push the buttons of fans. If Russo wanted to be controversial, he's going the right way about it, criticising everyone from Sami Zayn to his most recent outburst about the main roster debut of Kevin Owens. Stating his view that Owens is typical of Vince McMahon's lost ability to make genuine stars, Russo has again raised the ire of the wrestling community, and people are jumping down his throat in comment form for not giving Owens a chance to prove himself at Elimination Chamber against John Cena. In essence, Russo is pretty much saying that McMahon doesn't have it in him to make his wrestlers interesting anymore, also saying in the same blog entry that everything good WWE's top stars have shown over the past decade has been their own doing, such as CM Punk's maverick personality.
