That Time Vince Russo’s Ideas Were TOO GOOD For WWE
“If you hated this, what about this?”
“It’s the same thing, Mr. Russo.”
“Yes, but Steve Aww-stin turns even more, bro!”
This bizarre tale is like the pro wrestling version of ‘Burn After Reading’—a farce in which all parties were total nimrods. We won’t ever learn the truth. This is a podcast game played between carnies inflating the balloons with significantly less of the hot air that usually comes out of their mouths.
In that same edition of the Observer, Meltzer wrote the following of the meeting and the fallout:
“Quite frankly, nobody knows what McMahon truly thinks on this one, other than the answer will become obvious in a few months.”
Russo swerves the dirt sheets, again…!
…because it was made clear WWE couldn’t wait to get shot of him within two weeks, not months. Russo “joined” TNA just two weeks later—he was already there, swerve!—in, yes, an accelerated development hilariously consistent with his own warp-speed bullsh*t narratives.
And, since Russo on his podcast last pitched a Fatal 5-Way power struggle for control of WWE—Shane McMahon Vs. Bruce Prichard Vs. Paul Heyman Vs. Eric Bischoff Vs. Triple H & Stephanie McMahon—maybe it’s OK that Aleister Black talks in that voice, or that Sami Zayn gets buried all the time.
At least they don’t have d*cks drawn on their faces.
