I just watched the first weeks Russo was booking the WCW. The first weeks he was in charge are far better and much different then when the suits at Turner were making him water down the product. TO ME WCW was more entertaining those first few weeks Russo was solely booking the product for WCW. Russo wasn’t allowed to make WCW better and when they brought back Bischoff as a sort of filter for him it didn’t help either. Not to mention the politics backstage.
@@jonathancurran5366 it's the ONE thing he does because it was so disgusting and he can't pass the blame onto anyone. He wrote it and he can't find a way to justify it.
At least he tried to give a gimmick to him. The guy was Lex Luger 2.0, but with not as good of a body, worse charisma and worse mic skills. Oh, woop de do, he did some flips in front of 200 people in ECW, so he must have been the greatest of all time.
@@handsolo1209 Lol, this is the type opinion I would expect from someone who thinks that that was a gimmick worth watching. I'd rather see a giant have amazing athletic matches that are actually entertaining than to watch bad comedy. When your enjoyment of the show is directly correlated to how many people are in the crowd, it's time to admit you have sh*t taste. That crowd had more energy than any crowd that attended your favorite wrestling matches. (or should I say 'your favorite storylines?') Clown.
Its one of the reasons how wrestlers get over and that's giving them a character. The 70s guy only last a couple months and then they scrapped it. And He joined with team Canada
It's interesting because Russo was promoting like VPNs or something a year ago, and was selling it as foolproof. Or maybe that was the company that got his identity back. Wewf. That makes my head spin
Always love hearing Russo talk about his career but I always kind of wished he would have lead the new blood while bischoff lead the millionaires club always wish also Steiner and hogan could have feuded during that time I feel like Steiner could have been on hogans level lol
Before the interview even starts russo should go.. Bro what ever you're going to ask me, its not my fault. Ive heard so many excuses for all his mistakes.
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? He doesn't. He has spun delusions. He really is the only guy in the wrestling industry who never admits any fault. Even Bishoff does.
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? Little boy? Says the guy who is looking for a fight and throwing insults. Post facts to what? That he made garbage decisions? If you can't see his garbage decisions and think his reign was perfect then there is no point. I know internet wrestling fans. They choose a side and then refuse to see the other side no matter how obvious it is. Still... If you have a point you actually want me to address then go ahead.
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? I asked what exactly you want me to explain because Russo's failures are many. How he's delusional? Russo will say he got the ratings up when he was there. Which is true. They were short term boosts out of curiosity. They fired him for a reason. I wish he stayed so then he wouldn't have that excuse when ratings failed. They were terrible nitros filled w car crash tv. If you think the quality of WCW was the quality of wwf when he was there you are crazy. He had wannabee boy bands, wanna be mafioso , general Hugh g reaction, Mike awesome the fat chick thriller. These are terrible ideas. His shoot ideas are terrible for the business. It gets temporary attention but just shits all over the business. I love the "everything you are watching is fake but this is real" attempt at booking. It's so stupid and turns more people off when done wrong. He put the title on an actor but then passed blame that it's not his idea. Well he was head of creative,, if it got on tv it's his fault. He put the title on himself but then says it was only one day. Still devalues the belt and was egotistical. He complained standards and practices were the reason for his failures. They may have been an issue but you can tell his writing was bad anyway. Booking nitro girls or a wannabee boy band etc. Just because they can't swear doesn't mean the angle would have been good with it. He blames politics for his failures. I believe there were politics and that it would make it hard to write. I don't think he was doing great and just fell victim to politics though. They wanted him out because in the short time he was there they could tell this car crash tv nonsense was going to destroy any credibility WCW had left. And that's just getting into Russo's writing in WCW. I can get in about how he's a liar and a snake and delusional in other aspects. I Can get into more detail about specific ideas. But i know you are just going to ignore everything i just said because your mind is already made up and you like Russo. You will just gloss over all this and not respond to any of it or make a bad attempt at addressing a few points. It's how immature wrestling fans on the internet are...
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? Russo saying he got ratings up in WCW is like WWE saying they are better than ever because they are making record profits. Yea the claim may be true, but their interpretation of what that means is delusional.
Vince Russo should have stayed in the 90's because he hasn't had a good idea since.. make no mistake, thats still 1 good idea for the dozen of horrible ideas he did
Vince... I happen to know for a FACT you tried to recently get hired by WWE. I still have MANY friends in the company! I'm not expecting anyone on here to believe some troll youtuber...but we both know the truth
From hearing Bischoff's side it doesn't sound like he wanted his job back at all, that sounds like fiction to me. I think Russo should've at least taken some responsibility for Goldberg's injury considering he wrote him into that needless scenario in the first place.
Bischoff may not have wanted to be a creative consultant in wcw in 2000 but he certainly did want the pay or play deal from Turner that came with the job.
I'd love to watch this but I am very Bro weary. Every time this guy does a shoot interview it becomes painful very quickly. The constant Bro's are worse that the kids in the back seat who keep saying "are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet"?
Always love Vince Russo's interview's, this was a good one!!
I been binging these deep dives with russo, and I have become a huge fan. I may even join his Patreon
Love Russo, always an entertaining interview.

Agreed. The first Nitro he wrote was really fun!
FINAL BRO COUNT = 233
Russo has told this story 1000 times.
Bro. Great interview bro. I laughed a lot bro. Lots of industry wisdom bro. But bro , hit like and subscribe bro
You seem to be fixated on the word bro, bro. What gives, bro?
Bro bro bro bro, ease up wit da bros
Bro....
Vince Russo is a master of NEVER being at fault for anything.
Exactly.. lol. Oh it was the politics that got him fired. lol.
He admits fault for the Oklahoma thing.
@@jonathancurran5366 it's the ONE thing he does because it was so disgusting and he can't pass the blame onto anyone. He wrote it and he can't find a way to justify it.
@@josereyes1148 yeah, he absolved his co-writer Ferrara of all responsibility for it. It's only thing he regrets.
@@josereyes1148 he was technically never fired. He left several times and continued to be paid.
Love russo . I think NXT 2.0 could use a bit of him.
Russo is a clown
WWE is such a shit fest. They're lucky they were able to work those clueless FOX execs into getting that crazy deal.
Yes, Clueless. FOX Need New People.
Bro, WCW bro. I mean bro, its just WCW bro.
I thought cookie cutters stopped saying bro back in 2010 ?
Bro do you even lift bro?
I can barely listen to this...I can't do it!
I love hearing vin chin so 😄
what no bro counter?
Truth With Consequences.
vince russo's version of wcw was pure garbage, he turned mike awesome into that 70s guy, i just cant get over it

Tell us About it Bro hahaha !!!!
Until now, I thought "like" was the most annoying superfluous filler word.
AL, Blums.

Vince Russo will never allow a black man to interview him, no way no how
He does a show
With Stevie ray
He literally does shows constantly with a black man
for hating pro wrestling so much, he sure does alot of shoot interviews for it
What a crock another country took the funds. Anyone who believes that nonsense! 😂🙄
i like vince but i think he totally overreacted to vince telling him to hire a nanny
Bro. What's up bro? Usually you use "bro" more frequent. You must be all bro'ed out bro.
Vince Russo should have stayed in the 90's because he hasn't had a good idea since.. make no mistake, thats still 1 good idea for the dozen of horrible ideas he did
Russo really has an inability to understand that it aint 1998 anymore
Exactly..back in 98 when he was writing wrestling was actually watchable
Vince... I happen to know for a FACT you tried to recently get hired by WWE. I still have MANY friends in the company! I'm not expecting anyone on here to believe some troll youtuber...but we both know the truth
Cringe
@@GuyBurny Your English accent is CRINGE
@@GuyBurny
It's true. 2022 he was consulting WWE but going through the USA Network. Was not hired by WWE, and they didn't know he was doing it.
I love Russo I respect the smarks tho that like AEW I don’t understand it lol but I respect it but just not my cup of tea whatsoever
Drink a shot everytime u hear bro
From hearing Bischoff's side it doesn't sound like he wanted his job back at all, that sounds like fiction to me. I think Russo should've at least taken some responsibility for Goldberg's injury considering he wrote him into that needless scenario in the first place.

Sorry that's all the Bro I can take
