The apology clearly touched JJ deeply. Thanks for this peek into a world I would otherwise never see.

[@salvagemonster3612]

JJ just seems to be a decent level headed guy.

[@JasonL77]

I’m not a fan of Vince Russo, but I will give him credit for being a man and apologizing.

[@joetamburello6292]

Russo honestly doesn’t seem like a bad guy. We also have skeletons in our closet but I don’t think his goal to maliciously hurt people. It seems like most who hate him because his wrestling philosophy doesn’t match up with theirs. Honestly I think Cornette is a much bigger asshole

[@BossChronicles]

Thats an awesome story very heartfelt you can tell JJ really apprecited the olive branch Russo extended and apologized for any heat in the past i listen to Russo's podcast he's really matured it's refreshing to see this instead of the typical back and forth bashing.

[@indiasupportstrumpwwg1wga927]

I know, I love his podcast as well. It took me a while, but he has really grown on me. He is born to be an entertainer, and a loud one at that.

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

How does that in any way atone for any of his previous behavior? Do whatever evil you want, but make sure you apologize and that makes it all better? Anything short of seppuku is unacceptable.

[@rockmusicfan9278]

Russo is still majorly up his own ass.

[@reallymakesyouthink]

What would you like him to do?

[@joeygana8864]

RockMusicFan92 stfu. Stop hatin, and hanging on every word, Libtard CORNETTE says

[@dinobrya2]

This might be my favorite of the Hannibal videos.

[@dyates6380]

I have no idea who this gentleman is, as I'm not really a wrestling fan but do know many of the wrestlers, but I get such a feel of a gentle soul, and a really good man from him.

[@wesleymorris2699]

He was the manager of the 4 Horsemen from 85-88. He also worked in the office behind the scenes

[@DavidLucas-oj6ju]

That is James J Dillon of the famed 4 HORSEMEN

[@varrick1226]

If you put my Uncle in the same room as JJ you couldn't tell them apart in looks, mannerisms and integrity. Class act just like my late Uncle.

[@TheeCoachg]

I wonder if its ever surreal for people like JJ who have been in the business 40+ yrs and given their sweat & tears to be sit next to Vince Russo & Eric Bischoff at these fan events.

[@williammunny1844]

Vince Russo isn’t the talentless schmuck that the “IWC” makes him out to be. I don’t care what anyone says, I really like the guy. I like what he did in WWF, AND what he did in WCW and TNA. I enjoy his videos on KZbin. I think fans of the entertainment side of wrestling like his work. On the other hand, I think the cruiserweight fans (the ones who take “wrestling” very seriously, and who don’t like storylines and characters) absolutely despise him. I guess it all depends on what your preference is. I like wrestling being tacky and funny. Some people don’t.

[@haworthlowell805]

I consider him, the other Vince, and Herd to be what killed good wrestling. If you like the clown show circus WWE is then good for you but........

[@TheZom1965]

Jim is a really nice guy.

[@fayezfawzi3255]

i hate russo's ideas and booking,but the reason he "cut a promo" on JJ was that JJ was on the phone completely insulting every facet of russo's booking and show and speaking loud enough for all the floor to hear when he was working with russo daily and could have said that to his face anytime. ofcourse,that doesnt make what russo did right,but it does make them both wrong.

[@YousefTube]

Fayez Fawzi didn't Russo cut a promo in front of J.J. in TNA

[@justamutt5294]

jj shoulda been russo and bischoff's boss

[@goonercestlavie]

Touching itw, good from Russo for doing the right thing.

[@blizzard37100]

Apparently Jim Cornette was right all along about Russo

[@tommytaylor5195]

Use to love WCW back in the day.. Vince Russo was a funny character,I don't think he was a nasty bloke,just tried to many shock tactics to make WCW work,but he ended up ruining it sadly.

[@greeen890]

Russo is a cancer on the face of wrestling.

[@rockmusicfan9278]

I'm willing to bet on one of the other times russo left the table he went to bitch to the promoter and something had been said and he was trying to make himself the good guy.

[@mh18744]

Joe Joe is a legend !!!

[@JuniorLewingKoo]

I like Russo. The problem varies. It stems from those in the business that's traditionally unchangeable to a changing audience. Dillon, Kevin Sullivan, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, Bill Watts strikes me as the type of personalities that literally suffocate upcoming talented pro wrestlers. WWE Vinny Mac were a genius. Why? He adapted to a changing audience that's still changing.

[@thongor3154]

Yeah, it is shrinking. Way to go Vinnie K

[@glenndallas7171]

Most people seem to list Kevin and JJ as minds that would still help the product today. (I remember Nash speaking highly of both of them as backstage contributions during a shoot interview.)

[@haworthlowell805]

The WWE had Dusty Rhodes training up & coming talent till he passed away. Yeah, Rhodes was obviously terrible for modern wrestlers. Good grief!

[@razorraul]

[@PtolemyJones]

Russo was so bad, it is easy to imagine Vince McMahon paid him to ruin WCW.

[@Hammerhead547]

It sounds like vince russo tried to act like he was some sort of mafia captain to get what he wanted.

[@joeygana8864]

Russo is a Class Act, GROW UP CORNETTE!

[@rebkong]

THE VINCE RUSSO NOT THE BAD GUY BUT HE NEVER SHOULD BE IN THE WRESTLING BUSINESS. BLAME THE KENNEDY MCMAHON FOR HIRE HIM. THOUSAND THOUSAND PERCENT THE REAL MR MCMAHON WOULD NEVER HIRE THE HIM.
