I once "painted the bowl brown", with an especially bad Vince Russo. No more chimichangas for a while.

The number of times Vince Russo - a 61 year old man - says " bro" in any given sentence or soliloquy is like nails on a chalkboard and more than slightly embarrassing.

[@kristenjones4306]

Yep

[@TheFailedmessiah]

I know as someone in middle school, high school or even college it makes sense. But as a full grown man, he sounds like an idiot.

[@mikejackson1003]

Back in the day before I'd ever listened to any podcasts, Russo's was one I had suggested to me. I put it on one night and honestly I put up with it for about 2 minutes. Those "bro's" are insufferable

[@yup486]

Bro, how can you think Russo saying bro all the time is that much of a broissue, bro? I mean, bro?

Do I believe that Russo stole Cornette's story? Yes. Do I believe that Miss Elizabeth smacked Russo, if only because of his reported obsession (life goal?) to get Liz booked in a Bra & Panties match and other spectacles where she would show some skin? Also Yes.

[@j.m.ziadeh3021]

The timeless and quintessential rivalry that will never die. I'll get the popcorn.

[@MrRevolutionNine]

A one-sided rivalry. Russo barely mentions Jim and if he does it's to put him over. Jim's just like a little baby throwing his toys out of the pram, it's embarrassing at this point.

[@jimmykewley8386]

[@KHayes666]

@@MrRevolutionNine Other way around. Jim is still over to the point he's one of AEW's top heels. He's still being mentioned on TV whereas Russo begs for jobs after burning bridges everywhere he's went. There's a difference in Cornette rage quitting RoH, WCW, NWA and WWF because he's very combative and every wrestling promotion in the last ten years telling Russo to scram because he's out of touch and was terrible at his job without McMahon.

[@MrRevolutionNine]

@@KHayes666 ohh big woah, AEW, a show that can't break a million. He's not once begged for a job, he's offered consultations, which for someone that wrote television drawing almost ten million people I think that's fair to do. You worded fired there strangely, yes ol' Jim was fired from every promotion under the sun for being a dimeless anti draw wonder. He can't blame Russo for every one of those occasions surely.

Russo: It's just wrestling bro Cornette: Wrestling is the most import thing in my life

[@KHayes666]

@@bluecollartradesman715 That's pretty much the basis for this epic feud. Russo doesn't give a rats ass about the lives he destroyed (BrawlForAll, Owen, Mike Awesome), the entertainment he took away (WCW) or the state of thd business he left behind. At worst Cornette cares TOO much about all of that.

It's why I can't listen to any of his podcasts. I tried. I managed to get through a couple of them but that was as far as I got. I mean the podcasts were bad enough with all the bullshit he spouts but hearing the word "bro" after every fucking sentence was insufferable. I think that's why I'm not a big fan Riddle. When I hear the word "bro" it gives PTSD from listen to those couple of Russo podcasts I suffered through.

When I was a kid, I had a horrible habit of popping my jaw, to the point where just yawning would put my jaw out of place and it would take several minutes to put it back into place. I've since then stopped but I'm afraid for when I might actually get into a fight.

[@brokencigarette3017]

I can pop my jaw whenever I want just by opening my mouth wider than normal but it goes right back to normal. But if I do it too much it gets sore so like you, I just don't do it lol. But it's so loud you can hear it pop.

@@thecausalgamer7916 forgiveness is ONE thing. Forgetting is a completely different thing. I could see Jim forgiving Russo the same way a father forgives a child for knocking over a glass of milk or a child shitting their pants. They're children and dont know what they're doing. He will just say Russo is an idiot who got into the business as a mark and didnt know the history of the business and the fundamentals. Which that much is true. Could you forgive someone because they were just morons and ignorant? Maybe. But I wouldnt hold my breath. Look at every one of Jim's videos, any time he talks about Russo, they all have the most views.
