New WWE Raw Star Had A HILARIOUS Way Of Getting Heat

You couldn't even write this sh*t, bro...

R-Truth Mojo Rawley Riddick Moss

Riddick Moss quietly debuted as Mojo Rawley's new heavy on the latest episode of Raw. Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that the former NXT man's transition to the main roster was easy, but only because Moss hadn't been working regularly on that show.

Meltzer then went on to share a hilarious story about how Moss garnered heat for himself with NXT fans during house shows over the past few years. He'd loudly shout his support for Vince Russo.

How dare he. How bloody dare he.

This, according to the Observer Radio, didn't go down well with live crowds. They jeered whenever Moss would bring up the ex-WWE, WCW and TNA writer's name. It seems that even younger fans are well-versed in the silliness of Russo's WCW run, and the idea that his name is mud in WWE circles.

It's unlikely that Riddick will be bringing his Russo-bashing act to Monday Night Raw. Who knows though. The 24/7 Title scene is hardly a place for bastions of serious pro wrestling. It's wacky, over-the-top fun, and someone in the office might get a kick out of Moss using Vinnie Ru to get heat.
