5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Jan 25)
1. Vince Russo: Blameless
You shouldn't go after Vince Russo. It's what he wants, for a start: attention. It's the only thing people will pay him in 2019. And, if we starved him of it, he might actually go away, and stop infuriating us.
You also shouldn't go after Vince Russo because, from personal experience, he definitely sends fans and colleagues to...question why it is you are criticising him, and to express mild outrage at satirical gags designed to illustrate how unseemly many of his ideas were. You see, effective satire at first aims for shock value, before the realisation dawns that the punchline isn't actually too far removed from the subject, thus highlighting the awfulness of the subject.
You shouldn't go after Vince Russo. It seems, with wrestling at its most newsworthy in an age, that he might actually go away. But sometimes, and he's good at this, you can't help it. Vince Russo is good at annoying people beyond reason. What a wholesome Christian life he leads. Much like a battle royal, effective booking and his views on women, the born again Russo gets the whole "confession" thing backwards - because he's just Gene Snitsky-d the f*ck out of virtually all of his rotten failures on a recent podcast mercifully transcribed by Reddit user wildstaringeyes.
To recap the recap:
Turning Goldberg heel was the only logical thing to do. Miscasting his top star was the only logical thing to do. "Logically it made all the sense in the world" to push the green as goosesh*t wild cannon Tank Abbott. Beaver Cleavage wasn't a bad idea because it "didn't happen"...it didn't happen because it was a bad idea.
See, that's the backwards thing again.
