Vince Russo: 10 Biggest Regrets I Have In Wrestling
9. I Put Vince McMahon Ahead Of My Family
This was a huge mistake for me. Something I wish that I could take back every day---but, cant. My wife raised my kids on her own without me being there---its that simple. Rather than put my time and effort into the only thing that should have mattered to me---I was out chasing ratings that in the big scheme of things meant absolutely nothing. I put Vince McMahon and the WWE before my own family, and just writing that sickens me. I missed my son hitting his first home run---to this very day that still haunts me. And, for what, somebody who, went it came down to it, didnt give a s**t about me? He only cared when I was the cash cow delivering him numbers. For that, I gave up my family. Thats just about as sad as it gets.
