10 WWE Myths Fans Still Believe
2. Vince Russo Was A Double Agent
This was the most up-voted suggestion on Reddit at the time of writing, which indicates that it's the most commonly believed. Or that it's the most ridiculous. Or, perhaps, that it's just the most interesting.
Because, really, who doesn't want to believe that Vince McMahon is - like his on-screen alter-ego - a genuine evil genius who seeks to trample his enemies underfoot through whatever means necessary?
This theory basically posits that the chairman of the board sent former writer Vince Russo over to WCW with the remit of undermining their erstwhile lead in the Monday Night Wars.
The evidence - every single WCW show during the years 1999 and 2000 - is quite compelling, but it's probably a little far-fetched, even for professional wrestling.
