2. Vince Russo Is EVEN WORSE Than Ever Thought Possible

Vince Russo is a lamentable fellow.

He is a man who has taken two very well-financed national wrestling companies, WCW and TNA, and respectively destroyed and stigmatised them as an embarrassment for all eternity. He is also a man who has potentially scuppered the only avenue of relevance he is permitted to ooze down by revealing the ugly homophobia within on his podcast, drawing the ire of companies dumb enough to sponsor it.

You see, Vince Russo has cracked a particularly complex conundrum: why do wrestling fans gravitate to wrestlers, other than reasons which should be entirely self-evident (because they like wrestling)?

It is because they are gay, stupid.

"I just watched the Giants game, I’m not wh*cking myself off when Buster Posey comes to the plate. I’m not taking it out and playing with it. And I love Buster Posey, but I love him in the sense that he’s on my team and I want them to win. But I don’t start chanting "This is Awesome" when he steps up to the plate. It's not a normal reaction."

Wow. So baseball fans are allowed to support baseball players but wrestling fans aren't allowed to support wrestlers because that's gay? Apparently Russo remarked that Finn Bálor needed to hit the gym, even though he has muscles where they have no business appearing on the body. He was sent a picture of Bálor in response. That made the person who sent it gay.

"If you are searching the internet for pictures of Finn Bálor without his shirt on, and taking his time to send it to me, you fall in one of these categories.”

Bálor is a pro wrestler. You'd be hard pressed to find a picture of him with his f*cking shirt on.
