Vince Russo's 10 Insider Stories From Running WWF Magazine

9. My Favourite Cover

From the beginning, I was never a mark for the boys, to me this was my job, and this was a business and that€™s the way I always carried myself. As far as stocking up memories, the only thing I collected over the years was every magazine cover that I was the editor of. Once the magazine was published, I would then get whoever was on the cover of the magazine---to sign it. Little did I know back then, all the legendary autographs that I would collect over the years, especially those who wouldn€™t be with us today. Signatures like Owen hart, British Bulldog, Yokozuna, and Ultimate Warrior, those are just a few of my most prized possessions. But, if you want to talk about the granddaddy of them all---my favourite cover of all time, was a shot of the entire €œHart Foundation€, and by the good graces of God, I was able to have all 5 members sign it for me€”Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, Owen Hart, Davey Boy Smith and Brian Pillman. By far, the most sacred piece of memorabilia that I own!
