I hated Russo's booking and hate having to defend him but (a) the website is paying him and (b) I think (key word!) that Russo is just trying to sink into a heel persona. It's phony, like his booking, but I won't fault him for doing it since he's getting paid.

[@daleharris3809]

@@manuelper Kind of just reinforces Cornette's point though that Russo will say anything as long as he can draw another check from the wrestling business. It's funny how Russo claims to always be damaged and victimized by this business, yet he's constantly clamoring to get back into it, and this is the only way how he can since no halfway reputable promotion-or AEW-will answer his calls.

OMG Vincce Russo is the best. I still remember the match he booked at Wrestlemania 3. That is when The Honky Tonk Man slammed Andre the Giant. Then the Macho Man ran down to the ring to Slam Andre, but before he could Elizabeth grabbed Andre and Slammed him. Bobby The Brain Heenan was so mad he then slammed Andre. At that point Vince Russo descended from the rafters to the theme "Sexy Boy" and slammed Andre. He grabbed the microphone and said "Wooooo, if you smell what the crock is smoking."

[@johnnytoure9819]

It may be easy to criticize Russo but here's what really hits me about this column- Vince Russo describes himself as some kind of visionary with some revolutionary outlook, like "others would have done this but I don't write TV that way!" like he's David Lynch or something- and then, it's a parody/satire of 1960s pop culture that Vince Russo watched as a little kid.

Reynolds" and has been around for 22 years and most of the site's reviews line up pretty well with Jim's. For whatever reason, the Reynolds struck up a friendship with Russo (despite their differences in wrestling philosophies) and they get along great as long as they don't discuss wrestling.

Russo didn't make Stone Cold, The Rock, Shawn Michaels, or Undertaker... the TALENT made the Attitude era. He did help push a lot of mid card guys, but just as often he buried them with terrible ideas like this. Russo's innovation was to push storylines for everyone on the card. Problem is that leaves no time for any actual wrestling matches.

[@Giveme1goodreason]

Yeah but you have to remember, russo doesn’t like wrestling. So wrestling on a wrestling show would be verboten in his eyes. I support having something for everyone on the roster especially in an international program being watched weekly, as you can use the mid carders with interesting angles to make it so that Austin or rock doesn’t have yo work 5 times a night 3 times a week. But the angles have to be not garbage.

I remember in an interview one time Eric Bishoff said the Turner executives over seeing WCW told him when they asked him to come back that one of their issues was Vince Russo didn’t understand story telling. I think this “column,” backs that up.

[@Giveme1goodreason]

100% I’ve watched a few interviews with bischoff, and he summarised what he was told by the turned execs as 1. Russo has no long term story telling ability it’s just stuff happening. 2. Everything is grimey and dirty there’s nothing clean or easy to digest. 3. He can come up with a match or an incident but no know how or why or where to from there. (Which for mind ties into the no long term story telling) Bischoff summed it up as russo’s mind never developed past a 13 year old stealing his dads playboy and jerking off behind a shed while smoking a cigarette.

[@maskedsuperstar7601]

I remember the domestic abuse portion. It was after Chaz dropped the Beaver Cleavage gimmick and was going by Chaz. IIRC, it played out on Sunday Night Heat but the one who was the mom, I think was Marianna, claimed Chaz had beaten her up. The wrestlers wanted nothing to do with Chaz and this went on for weeks until Thrasher returned and played a GTV video of Marianna admitting she made the whole thing up and (I might be misremembering) putting makeup on to show bruises from Chaz.

[@theevilascotcompany9255]

Oh, Jimmy Cornette! When I was a kid ('m 52 now) you were my favorite manager to hate when my family and I would watch you in Atlanta! The Midnight Express and you with that tennis racket..😂😂 I'd get so mad, but my Dad LOVED you!Love those memories and am so glad you're still around...making me laugh now as an adult!

I remember Chaz. He had the shorts with a big smiley face, grew his hair out a bit and did a variation of the Burning Hammer- one of my all time favorite finishers.

Dude they need to read these as often as they come out Gold

I swore Jim actually went to college. Guess the rich kid gimmick worked me.

Russo has become a caricature of himself, a full on parody bro.

[@jordan_8329]

He was always a living caricature

A hat on a hat, if you will.

I enjoyed the part where Corny said CAPITOLS (capitols)

[@RagnarokB]

Spelling it that way makes it sound more like we're critiquing Jericho's wife :D

[@vortega472]

I'm actually surprised former POS...I mean former POTUS 45 didn't hire him as a writer.

[@hughmorris2078]

One of his best friends just said Russos a product of generational trauma and mental illness...which makes all of this that much darker and hilarious

Oh my gosh and thank you Jim cornette I really appreciate you buddy you have great content

"Because he SCREAMS! OVER AND OVER! ABOUT RESS-A-LING!" Jim hit the nail right on the head here! I don't hate Russo like he and a lot of the IWC seem to (his writing, yes, but not the man himself) but holy shit, it's impossible to listen to the man talk for more than 0 seconds because he's just shouting at the top of his lungs.

[@Giveme1goodreason]

I’ve never been to America so I have 0% perspective on it, but from what I can see of russo based on other media, is russo is almost exactly what people use as a parody of New Yorkers. He the breathing embodiment of the “I’m walking here” cliche.

[@WarGhoulKharas]

People hate Russo because he takes no responsibility for his bad ideas or actions, takes all responsibility for things he had no hand in that was successful, and talks about himself as a martyr and a genius in the same breath. He has backstabbed everyone he has ever worked for, and lies more than Paul Heyman.

[@SamsarasArt]

Yeah the dude is always shouting

I have listened to this several times and I'm still dying lmfao. Some absolute comedic gold in this.
