It's literally known that if Russo's ideas weren't filtered, there would've been so much dumber cr@p put on our screens. Maybe Russo himself denied it, but so many people who have worked with him have said otherwise. We're talking about a guy who axed a deal WCW had with New Japan that gave WCW millions of dollars for free, basically. Instead, let's burn a giant hole in WCW's wallet just cause, "I don't see anything in them bro". And then what? They begged Bischoff to come back... and look, Bischoff isn't that much better, but he's still a safer bet than Russo, at least. Lastly, Russo keeps talking about how internet fans hurt the business, yet who did he try appealing to the most while in WCW? The internet fans! You can't write this cr@p 🤣. Always having the commentary talk about what's a work or a shoot, brother! Or, "This wasn't in the script!". Heck, he did it himself in his own promos. And a bunch of dollar tree quality rehased Attitude Era ideas. This's the guy you're trying to brag about... one good thing I can say is that he's seems to be a great family, man, so hats off to him for that. So agree to disagree, but quit pretending like he was so amazing at what he did. He was black balled from the biz for a reason (It's honestly pathetic that just like Cornette, he claims he turns everybody down, when in reality, nobody wants to deal with either one of them ever again).

I wish this rule applied to all people of unsavory character, bro.

[@RawPowerComics]

Russo not being welcomed back is a big reason why the product everywhere sucks right now. Russo was the most successful writer in wrestling history, and the dorks like Cornette hate him because he proved their stupid ideas wrong. Every idea Cornette had during the attitude era flopped. The wrestling world desperately needs Vince Russo to write a show again.

Russo took Cornette & Prichard's jobs in both WWF and TNA, and out-performed Cornette & Prichard both times. Sorry dorks.

[@welcometothemovies9157]

It's funny he happily talks about how tough Blackman is

[@ben31uk]

JBL couldn’t sound anymore bitter if he tried. Get over it dude its been 30 years

[@biffpocoroba7229]

Russo's from Long Island, 'nuff said.

[@OllieMartinGamer]

Have they explained where Bruce is at the moment?

[@stephalan2866]

Probably having a meeting with his lawyers.

In rehab

[@williamscolaro1159]

I used to say “bro” occasionally, but after hearing Russo I’ve made it a point to remove it from my vocabulary. No way I want to sound like that.

[@Christoffski]

This is my favourite version of JBL. Just appears in a duster, Clothesline from Hell, leave. 🤠 Mysterious Magnum sound

[@markhall3254]

"BRO." - Vince Russo

[@Midwestgaming1991]

its bro per minute lol

[@jonwolf2247]

JBL was a bully who literally assaulted people under the guise of "the code." Morality in wrestling and who is accepted is amazing to behold.

[@zachary_attackery]

JBL is whining because Russo made him look like an idiot when he got his ass beat in the Brawl For All

[@lancethefilmguy9392]

Does he have a point?

[@ben31uk]

Where is Bruce

[@zachary_attackery]

Rehab

[@davegoldberg3282]

I love the Bobby Jaggers reference

[@BigDic420-i1j]

We're good friends i haven't see him in 20 years 😂

[@GraemeCree]

6:14 I know who Jaggers is, but not sure what JBL is referring to here.

[@NunYabidness-e1j]

Certain facial expressions it almost looks like Dennis Quaid

[@Therealhayden]

Jbl is salty that he got knocked out in the brawl for all, Vince Russo is the greatest booker of all time

[@PaxBisonica89]

Stop 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Therealhayden]

@ he wrote for your favorite era 😳

[@Mr.Jtea3]

You just offended so many Twitter, social justice warrior strong style marks who are offended by sex appeal and promos by saying that but yes I agree 😂

[@ElAssoWipe-o]

The fact that people are still hating on Russo to get over with the marks despite how the fact that the wrestling business dying is ridiculous. Modern day wrestling fanboys make Disney shills look like Estein in comparison.

[@PaxBisonica89]

"dying" Fed is literally drawing more money than ever Sit down 😂😂😂😂

[@ericgilbert56]

BTW Bradshaw was the last participant to retire from the buisiness.

[@FireKracker44]

Does Bruce Prichard not do these anymore, or is he taking a break?

[@BillWalkowitz]

JBL is wrong, Russo IS welcomed back somewhere because he's once again working behind the scenes for Rocky Mountain Pro in Colorado, so guess what?JBL needs to make a retraction.

[@Lumbeeboy1992]

Isn’t it ironic that he says that about JBL and JBL is in the Hall of Fame and no wrestling company in the United States wants Russo

[@EyeSeeSports]

The part that confused me was Conrad said to JBL what Russo said, as if JBL would call it a lie. JBL said it, he just now claims it was semi sarcastic. I stick up for Russo sometimes, simply because he kept everyone on the card relevant. Ed gets zero credit too. Pinning the southern accent thing on Russo is fine, but the other Vince is who hated the accent more.

[@neilsmith9066]

So stupid what they did to Bart Gunn as punishment

[@davidjsaul]

I feel like Conrad made that statement up. There's not nearly enough "bro's" to be a real Russo speech.

[@EwanCumia]

The only way I'd want Russo back is to work a match with Cornette.

[@murraysaucedo897]

Hey! Let’s book the Brawl for All if WWE where to bring it back in 2025! Which current 16 superstars would you think would partake?

[@madbrowniac7871]

@murraysaucedo897: Miss Rhea Ripley, Miss Lola Vice, Natalya, Miss Bianca Belair (This Lady carried Otis one night, For Heaven's Sake!) and Miss Sonya DeVille would be my initial Female Draft Picks. On the Men's side, Chad Gable, Gunther, RTruth, and Oba Femi just for starters. And yes Ron Killings. This guy can be a hoss when he's determined to be!🤔🎤💃🌹❤👸🤴🥊🥊🤼‍♀️🤼‍♂️B.W.

Cornette would be glad to hear that Bro

[@davidmiles4678]

You know it’s going to be a good story when JBL is biting his lip when Conrad was first talking.

[@zn2qo]

Vince Russo created the attitude era stop hating he did it

[@stefanofleury170]

The brawl for all and dark sode of the ring are the worst ideas in and about wrestling
