Vince Russo said during a YouTube interview with Fightful that he reached out to Vince McMahon regarding a possible return to WWE over the past week.

McMahon actually answered his former chief writer, although the WWE patriarch wasn't wordy with his response. According to Russo, nothing has changed there, because Vince was hardly ever elaborate with him even when he worked for the company throughout the 1990's.

Often critical of current WWE product, Russo held his hands up to say that he didn't want to complain about hating the show without offering a way to fix it.

Following a brief exchange, Russo wasn't exactly clear where he stood with McMahon, but it seems he won't be making a dramatic WWE comeback any time soon. When asked if his one-time employer seemed receptive to a return, Russo said that Vince "never seems receptive".

Russo's big play was to talk about low television ratings, claiming that he could help fix that for McMahon. By his own admission, Russo didn't use the word 'help', acknowledging that you don't tell Vince McMahon you can help him.
