The general consensus about the man is without McMahon filtering out his ideas he is a flop. His record would represent that. Also you're way off BRO.

I've never seen anything anywhere from the other wrestlers you mentioned where they hold Russo in as much high esteem as he holds himself.
There's another video from Dutch Mantel in another shoot promo that explained it was mostly Jeff teaming with Russo and Dutch teaming with Jim. They kept things civil until Dutch got fired and then Jim got fired.
I would love to see a super card first half booked by Cornette second by Russo. It’d be dope to see the stark contrast of ideas in one show just for the spectacle . If I had khan money I’d put it up myself maybe one day
@Hamburger Stalker Jim being "unsuccessful in every promotion he's been in" is factually false & can be disproven with basic research. As far as a "Success like Russo" success for how long? His hot-shotting way of booking (where he throws everything at the wall to see if it sticks) is one of the main catalysts for the "wrestling" we get today. Stephanie McMahon hired TV writers because of the "ratings" Vince Russo "brought" (even though he had the 3 biggest stars in wrestling on the roster & a world renowned production crew). TNA sunk in large part due to him & Dixie Carter, point blank. As for WCW, he helped sink an already sinking ship. While Jim has proven that he lacks a filter when he gets hot, he had already been successful for 10 BEFORE he joined the WWF (and he left WCW on his own accord). You disagreeing with Jim doesn't negate the fact that Vince Russo proved to be a cancer everywhere he has gone (which is only 3 places, because HE ISN'T A WRESTLING GUY).
@Hamburger Stalker Again, with basic research your point can be disproven. Nothing I said was false. Also, Jim left WCW on his own accord, & quite frankly Russo is literally the reason TNA got kicked off of Spike, troll.
Lol that’s a cliche but tbh classic wrestling was better in ways that they took it much more serious and didn’t do so much comedic BS. Wrestling nowadays is cringey and the only thing good is the actual wrestling and even that nowadays they do shit with no reason as to why and just do it to entertain. Like having 30 fake finishes, constant roll ups, doing crazy shit these guys end up hurting themselves do it every match to dilute the impact of them doing it on a special event.
@@sinsear2404 lmao when was wrestling ever sports based? Even back in the 50s with Gorgeous George they were doing cringey shit lmao. Let’s not forget what Memphis and Florida has going on half the time.

@@michaelsandella9504 It's quite funny that there's over 30 writers in WWE and the cannot draw a tenth on what they were drawing whenever Russo was writing the show
@@michaelsandella9504 Russo has said it over and over again that his influence came from Bishoff and the nWo and the shoot style/cliffhangers. He didn't give a crap about ECW lmao.
@Devin Carter In your opinion it was trash, objectively no it wasn't trash because the viewership grew like never before. And the guys that you mentioned? He still wrote for them and they were there before and after Russo left and they weren't as entertaining and the numbers weren't the same. Don't be an idiot and assume that your opinion is a fact when the numbers clearly tell a different story, no they didn't have 15 minute matches on Raw so marks could jack off to it, they had entertaining shows that people watched
@@pmfg11 thank you finally someone says it I am so sick and tired of these dumb-ass smarks on the internet talking all this mad shit about Vince Russo saying that "Russo's writing is trash" when we all know it really wasn't because if it was Stone Cold and The Rock would have never became the stars that they became without Russo's writing and the fact that people blame him for wcw's downfall is just absolutely f****** hilarious because before Russo even got into the company WCW was already tanking in the summer of 99 way before he got there and that's mainly got to do with the fact WWE was beating them in the ratings what killed WCW was Time Warner Executives and Turner execs.
@@acewillingham Specially when you consider that Rock, HHH, Austin, Undertaker, Foley, Kane were there before and after Russo and they weren't as over. It's the same shit as why some great movie stars sometimes have fantastic movies and sometimes have awful movies.. the writing.
I can't see how people could not like this dude. He went a little notes with WCW but he's a good dude who clearly cares more about most people than most of the people in the business.
I bet he’s the best interviewee ever, can talk his way into taking credit for the attitude era ahead of: the wrestlers, the commentators and Vince McMahon himself
Feel like I feel like both him and Jim cornette even though they don't like each other are exactly the same they both contradict their own points and even get angry for no reason
Actually it's the other way around Cornett is scared of Russo he's offered him to come on his podcast and debat him so many times and he declined the offer the only reason why he won't because he knows he will get exposed by Russo. Jim cornette is all bark and no talk
@You ley Yeah things were so great with Cornette on creative lol.. No wonder WWF chose Russo over him, as did TNA. If you look at Jims fantasy Wrestlemania card it was absolutely awful.
Russo is the same as most other wrestling guys like Bishof and Vince, had some good shit but surrounded by numerous illusionary bubbles of self importance with no normality around them, so they become completely unable of logic based thought within the context of wrestling storylines and booking. Occasionally a bubble bursts and they see through the shit to produce something good but after this many years theres so many psychotic bubbles floating around that the ego can't see them.
Politics are what prevented Russo from growing WCW and TNA more than he did. All of the people who rag on his WCW run don't know the actual facts and are regurgitating bullcrap they've heard by revisionists. He was head of creative in WCW for 3 months and he took the rating from a 2.6 to a 3.4. Nobody was going to get the rating from a 2.6 to a 5.0 in that time frame because that's not how TV works. Look at all the successful shows and you'll see it took years for them to peak. It took the WWF almost 3 years to hit its peak with RAW. Gaining the trust of the audience takes time, regardless of whether your show is good or not. 1997 proves that. It's much, much easier to lose viewers than it is to gain them.
"I always knew Jim Cornette could never stand me" ... I hate to break it to you, but *nobody* can stand you Russo - anybody with a modicum of interest in the wrestling business loathes you for what you've done to it.
Um wrong, there's alot of people who like Vince. You go and check out his podcast he had guys like Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Stevie Richard, DDP, Marc Mero, Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, Kurt Angle, Gail Kim, Mickie James, Lex Luger, Bob Backlund, Paul Orndorff, Ric Flair, and many many others who came on his show and talked with him...sometimes some of them did 2 or 3 talks with him. If you hate someone, like truly hate them the last thing you wanna do is talk with them. So why would you go on there show to talk with them if you hate them? Hell Shawn Michaels even said "I always liked you Vince" so no, not everyone hates Vince Russo, its a dumb misconception
@@rexventura4603 He's not a good booker because he was always trapped in the 80's. SMW went under while ECW thrived. He's the reason along with Prichard that 83 Weeks is even a thing. WWF in 1996 had a paper thin midcard, a paper thin tag division, and a non-existent womens division. RAW was HORRIBLE in 1996 and hit a record low in December. Austin won KOTR 96 and was kept off 4 of the next 6 PPVs. HBK was the babyface John Cena and Roman Reigns of his time with the crowd turning against him, and Rocky Maivia was being told to die by the fans. The crowds were tired of watching hokey garbage and were demanding change. Russo turned it around by giving the roster solid character work and memorable segments that are still talked about today. Dixie Carter absolutely picked the right guy, because 2 years after Cornette left, TNA hit record high viewership, surpassing 2m viewers. Cornette was against the creative direction that resulted in record high viewership. He's a ratings repellent.
Love Russo to actually be questioned and have to respond to Jim cornette’s version of his last days - shaking his hand, the stupid sting vs Hernandez booking, the leaked anonymous report targeting Jim etc...
I started watching wrestling with WWF in 97. Switched to WCW when Austin got hurt. Didn't watch WWF until the buyout. Preferred TNA though cause of Sting. Quit watching altogether around 2009. Never knew behind the scenes news until quarantine boredom got me and it turns out I loved Russos work and not much else. Don't get the hate for him at all.
I think it comes down to people riding Cornette's nuts, thinking Russo killed WCW and/or thinking he had little to do with the success of the Attitude Era. Meanwhile, most of them enjoyed that Era and it would've been curtailed by Cornette and his antiquated views.
Russo was great. Cornett was a great heal cuz he’s a real life a-hole. If Cornette was in charge of the Attitude era instead of Russo, Dr. Death Steve Williams and Rock & Roll Express would’ve been the champions and Stone Cold & the New Age Outlaws would’ve been jobbing to them.
Because he’s an ass who likes to pretend every success is because of him, and anything that goes wrong is always someone else’s fault. Most people in the back don’t despise him like Cornette, but they do not like his booking, ideas, or whatever. If you actually believe his work is good, then go watch his wrestling promotion, devotional wrestling, and see how well that is actually doing.
@@datemasamune2904 Or, you could look at the viewership he improved in all 3 major companies he worked for. You could look at the praise he gets from the likes of Austin, Rock, Foley, Angle, HBK, Styles, Sting, Nash, JR, King, Booker T and so many others. Konnan has stated he started a petition to get Russo back in charge of creative when Russo went home in January of 2000, and he also confirmed that the majority of the roster signed it. This is why you shouldn't buy into the BS of a handful of jealous rivals who were replaced by him because they couldn't lace his boots in terms of viewership numbers.
I like Vince and I like Corney. They're just different guys, is all. I do wish Corney was willing to bury the hatchet. Dutch Mantell even said that he told Corney to let it go or it will make you sick.
Finally someone level headed. I'm not a huge Russo fan, but for all the shit today's fans talk about him, he booked in WWF when more people than ever before or since watched wrestling every week.
@@Triplebrc I don't know, man. Not many guys out there are saying, "I'm glad I held on to my hate for years and here's all the wonderful results I've experienced!" I think Dutch's advice is probably better.
@@TheOriginalRizk I am sure you will find people who had the biggest celebration of their lifes when their enemy died. In Cornettes case, hating Russo does not really take much time out of his day, if anything it made him more popular, he also decided to live healthier to he will outlive Russo for the sake of pissing upon his grave. Hate is an unparalleled motivator.
The thing that I’ve always considered is that if Russo and Cornette worked together they could have had a good run. If Russo wrote the storylines and Corny booked the matches it might have worked. If Cornette was there to pull Russo back in if his storylines got a little out of control I bet it might have worked.
He makes a mockery of something Cornette loves, called all wrestling fans homosexuals and booked a promotion as Tits N Ass with the stable Sports Entertainment Xtreme.
Honestly in all of the interviews I’ve seen Russo seems to be a pretty laid back guy. Corny makes me laugh with his rants but after almost 3 decades of animosity I think it might be about time to let bygones be bygones…. Bro.
Russo is a liar when he said “I don’t know what makes him hate me” Jim has probably 10ths worth of rants as to why he hates Russo from making fun of JR, to creative ideas which were terrible like the abortion angle based off Dallas, to him getting Jim fired from TNA
Vince Russo did nothing wrong. He is just the marks go to scapegoat. The marks would hate Russo for everything, while praising Vince McMahon, even though he made way more dumb shit and turned WWE into Disney.
I got props to Russo for never getting so hateful in regards to Cornette. Even if Russo is a universal moron, Russo is professional in regards to Cornette.
Because Russo tries to babyface himself. Cornette tells his honest opinions and goes off on rants, but, would say the same to his face. Russo plays the nice guy in public to be liked and get sympathy, but, has gone out of his way to have Cornette (and others) fired or removed from a position within a company and done it behind their backs.
@@mikeydoc11 No. Cornette is an insecure ugly psychopath, inside and out. It's childish and stupid, but he has a bunch of people who subscribe to his foolishness.
Nothing says professional like slapping your employees and requesting they have sex with your wife in front of you, Cornette is very professional....Russo is a saint compared to that moron Cornette.
Find it funny how everyone wants a return to the attitude era. This guy was writing that. Can't say it was all Vince look at today's Wrestling. Second Jim Cornette the character and the person aren't far apart. He worked well with him in TNA. But three states away starts talking smack. Makes Cornette look like the kid who threw rocks and hid behind his mom afterwards.
David 2099 Also Vince, Prichard, and terry Taylor and maybe Jim Ross sometimes. Even Shane. But you wouldn’t know that because you think it was just russo and his buttbuddy Ed
@@kamfisher1714 Prichard, JR and Terry Taylor weren't writing TV. Prichard and JR were talent relations, and Taylor was a producer. Russo and Ferrara were writing at least 90% of the TV and McMahon was adding little bits and pieces to the final format.
Unfortunately you get people like Russo in all walks of life. A blagger who changes his tune to fit the direction of the wind. It’s obvious it is just personal his problems with JC. He knows Cornette has his number & he is in damage limitation mode 😅🥳🤪
2:10 crazily enough it sounds like it may actually be *less* stressful and dangerous if they worked together. They seem to aggravate and upset each other at a distance, but up close they just shut up, cooperate and get on with it. Maybe they are actually soulmates.
@@matthewnewman6039 - His version of the truth, which doesn't completely match the facts. Cornette is hardly the only one who hates Russo. A lot of people do.
@@pooldead7712 Vince is a goofy kind of dude, with all the "bros" and whatnot. It's funny to see a man his age speak that way, but Cornette really seems like a bad person. It's wrestling dude. Stop threatening a man who isn't even fucking with you.
Russo is diplomatic & political when he answers questions. He'll lie or stretch the truth in order to give the best response to make himself look as good as he can. Cornette will be as raw & real as is the actuality & reality of what really happened. Even as ugly as it might be, you're getting 100% honesty out of Jimmy. I guess you are right that Russo is more "normal" & Jimmy is "insane." It is more "normal" to care about what other people think, and to keep up an image. It is "insane" to say what's truly in your heart, and not give a flying "F" what anybody thinks or has to say about it.
@@TheNotbadphonedaddy Care to back that up with proof? Cornette has literally said he will do or say whatever he can to cost Russo money. Do you think he's above lying through his teeth if it means he can cost Russo money? Give me a break lol.
Russo buried WCW then tried to do the same to TNA. Intentional or not. He’s to blame. His work is absolute failure. Russo is indeed an inept incompetent failure. That’s why you’ll never ever see him in a reputable wrestling company again. Never ever again.
@@BLM_Big_Lipped_Marxist If he was a failure, who was a success? Cornette? Bischoff? Prichard? Russo's writing drew higher numbers than all 3 of those.
Russo is a writer. Cornette is a Booker. Bookers will always want to see their guys go over. Writers will write for whomever they're told to write for which is usually from the higher ups because the higher ups want to see certain talent being put over, and even then, the writers work still has to be approved, adjusted, and accepted. WCW and TNA failed because of terrible money, directive, and contract decisions made by people usually working in positions ABOVE the writer. So Cornette just has an irrational reason to hate Russo because he's a mark for himself and likes to have heat with someone because he still thinks kayfabe is real. Booker and Big Show both said the same thing about WCW being chaotic, structureless, with big egos who made things cushy for themselves. Now Nash is a near 7 foot tall torn quad meme, Hall's health was shot to shit, Bischoff has to make sporadic appearances here and there. That's karma and effect.
If any of that was true, then why would any higher up want him, or allow him, to not only put himself on T.V. - especially when he can't string a coherent word together - but self-insert and book himself to be the WCW champion.... Russo is a shmuck who had 1 good idea one time, but was able to bullshit himself into that positon then later bullshit himself into too many positons he was not qualified for. His actions and writing were the reason not 1 but 2 companies went out of business. TNA for over a decade was a mess - the wrestling wasn't an issue, it was there was no reason to be invested because of how dogshit the story lines were. Cornette is correct. You can't just right any whacky doodle dipshit and hope to make it coherrent. You have to take into account the booking - making your top baby face or heel do certain things kills there credability, it harms their character, it hurts their star power. Lower star power means they're less of a draw. You draw less, means you aren't selling as many tickets, getting as many views or PPV buys, means you're losing money. Russo is a hack with 22 years of proof to show for it.
I get that Russo had a lot of silly ideas. But I’ve never really understood why Corny hates him so much. He never has much to say about Russo wronging him outside of disagreeing on wrestling philosophy and ideas. Just seems like a silly reason to hate someone. At least Bischoffs stories about Russo I can get his disdain.
Cornette takes wrestling VERY seriously, and Russo doesn't. Russo tore down all the things that Cornette believes made wrestling work. I tend to think that Cornette was right and Russo was wrong. That's not to say that every idea Cornette ever had was gold, or that Russo never came up with a good idea. On the whole, however, Cornette gets it. He's all about building things up and making sure the storyline/psychology makes sense. Russo doesn't care if it makes sense, he just throws things at the wall to see if they'll stick.
"If he had the opportunity to kill me and get away with it he would"
Say what you will about Russo, but his comprehension is just fine.
And to think people say that about me. And they're right......
I work at Jim cornette and I look at him and I can't tell the difference the only difference is they hate each other they both say things and then contradict their own payments within days later they can have a good opinion but then they're contradicting it

*NO ONE LIKES RUSSO.*

What’s certain is that you’ll never see Russo in a reputable wrestling company ever again because they ALL know Russo’s work will eventually result in failure thus in loss. Reputable companies have to much at stake to lose. They won’t dare hire Russo.

I would love to see a super card first half booked by Cornette second by Russo. It’d be dope to see the stark contrast of ideas in one show just for the spectacle . If I had khan money I’d put it up myself maybe one day
and you watch it while stoned, that'd be the fuckin MWAH the Mint!! of Pro Wrestling, thats Wrestling the Finale bro
This would draw
You better start saving those pennies that Arby's pays you
So he basically admitted he got Jim fired by saying he couldn’t work with him because Jeff was gone. It’s not hard to put that together.
@Hamburger Stalker should change your name to Russo stalker lol
@Hamburger Stalker Jim being "unsuccessful in every promotion he's been in" is factually false & can be disproven with basic research. As far as a "Success like Russo" success for how long? His hot-shotting way of booking (where he throws everything at the wall to see if it sticks) is one of the main catalysts for the "wrestling" we get today. Stephanie McMahon hired TV writers because of the "ratings" Vince Russo "brought" (even though he had the 3 biggest stars in wrestling on the roster & a world renowned production crew). TNA sunk in large part due to him & Dixie Carter, point blank. As for WCW, he helped sink an already sinking ship. While Jim has proven that he lacks a filter when he gets hot, he had already been successful for 10 BEFORE he joined the WWF (and he left WCW on his own accord). You disagreeing with Jim doesn't negate the fact that Vince Russo proved to be a cancer everywhere he has gone (which is only 3 places, because HE ISN'T A WRESTLING GUY).
@Hamburger Stalker and I see this is a troll account, have a good life lol
@Hamburger Stalker Again, with basic research your point can be disproven. Nothing I said was false. Also, Jim left WCW on his own accord, & quite frankly Russo is literally the reason TNA got kicked off of Spike, troll.
@Hamburger Stalker Direct that insult to yourself 😂 you referred to me as a troll, troll
The way Russo speaks about Cornette speaks makes me feel like there’s some sort of hangup on Jim’s behalf.
I feel this guys vocabulary is like bro and 40 other words.
Bro
He’s from New York bro come on bro
The only reason Ed was brought in was to carry Russo’s paper so he could do the “Hey Bro” bullshit
If I wanted to have a successful wrestling company in the 80's I would totally want Cornette to run it. Sadly it is 2020.
Lol that’s a cliche but tbh classic wrestling was better in ways that they took it much more serious and didn’t do so much comedic BS. Wrestling nowadays is cringey and the only thing good is the actual wrestling and even that nowadays they do shit with no reason as to why and just do it to entertain. Like having 30 fake finishes, constant roll ups, doing crazy shit these guys end up hurting themselves do it every match to dilute the impact of them doing it on a special event.
Jusbert Meza it’s no longer sports based, it’s like a full blown super hero fight nowadays.
Old ass.
If I wanted to run a successful wrestling company into the ground anytime I would totally want Vince Russo
@@sinsear2404 lmao when was wrestling ever sports based? Even back in the 50s with Gorgeous George they were doing cringey shit lmao. Let’s not forget what Memphis and Florida has going on half the time.
Russo could easily pass for a relative of Henry Rollins.
Shut up
Except Henry Rollins is smart and Vince Russo is a complete idiot.
He honestly looks terrible without the beard and hair honestly
I hope there’s more of this shoot somewhere. It’s one of the last shoots before The Brand where Vince isn’t acting more like Vic Venom.
This man wrote a email to Dixie carter behind Jim's back trashing him telling Dixie they need to get rid of jim. That's a punk move
Ever seen cornette santina morella in detroit jim hollering at passer bys to record for him
He a fuxkin punk his damn self
Never been in a foght n is life
He did??? Please show any type of link backing that statement up.
Is meltzer your source
And Cornette will never face Russo in a debate, only trashing him from far away on his podcast for years. That's a bitch move.
There should be a law against putting any content that has Vince Russo’s face on it
@Mike41 there should be a law against Meltzer also

@@michaelsandella9504 It's quite funny that there's over 30 writers in WWE and the cannot draw a tenth on what they were drawing whenever Russo was writing the show
@@kingofkings69nerjr90 Russo was in the wwe when they where popular and they had to steal from ECW’S Revolution by calling it the attitude era

He is scared to death of corny
You can tell by the excessive "Bros" he said....
If corny is that big and that bad why doesn't he put him down already?
The internal TNA emails already proved Russo was burying Cornette to Dixie.
Russo destroyed WCW and attempted to do the same to TNA.
Russo is an inept incompetent failure.
@@BLM_Big_Lipped_Marxist The guy that wrote WWF's Attitude Era is a failure lmao
@Devin Carter In your opinion it was trash, objectively no it wasn't trash because the viewership grew like never before. And the guys that you mentioned? He still wrote for them and they were there before and after Russo left and they weren't as entertaining and the numbers weren't the same. Don't be an idiot and assume that your opinion is a fact when the numbers clearly tell a different story, no they didn't have 15 minute matches on Raw so marks could jack off to it, they had entertaining shows that people watched
@@pmfg11 thank you finally someone says it I am so sick and tired of these dumb-ass smarks on the internet talking all this mad shit about Vince Russo saying that "Russo's writing is trash" when we all know it really wasn't because if it was Stone Cold and The Rock would have never became the stars that they became without Russo's writing and the fact that people blame him for wcw's downfall is just absolutely f****** hilarious because before Russo even got into the company WCW was already tanking in the summer of 99 way before he got there and that's mainly got to do with the fact WWE was beating them in the ratings what killed WCW was Time Warner Executives and Turner execs.
@@acewillingham Specially when you consider that Rock, HHH, Austin, Undertaker, Foley, Kane were there before and after Russo and they weren't as over. It's the same shit as why some great movie stars sometimes have fantastic movies and sometimes have awful movies.. the writing.

He was a big part of the Attitude Era
I bet he’s the best interviewee ever, can talk his way into taking credit for the attitude era ahead of: the wrestlers, the commentators and Vince McMahon himself
“Yuge concern”
Feel like I feel like both him and Jim cornette even though they don't like each other are exactly the same they both contradict their own points and even get angry for no reason
Vince is legitimately scared of Cornette
Actually it's the other way around Cornett is scared of Russo he's offered him to come on his podcast and debat him so many times and he declined the offer the only reason why he won't because he knows he will get exposed by Russo. Jim cornette is all bark and no talk

@You ley "Anything that comes out of a box gets over" - Jim Cornette
@You ley Yeah things were so great with Cornette on creative lol.. No wonder WWF chose Russo over him, as did TNA. If you look at Jims fantasy Wrestlemania card it was absolutely awful.
This guy says "I gotta be honest with you" so much that you can tell he's disingenuous
My mans was repping Colorado before Deion🤣
vince russo does a new york "bro"
and matt riddle does a california "bro"
The thing about Russo is, that his stories always stay the same. They never change, even after a decade
Russo is the same as most other wrestling guys like Bishof and Vince, had some good shit but surrounded by numerous illusionary bubbles of self importance with no normality around them, so they become completely unable of logic based thought within the context of wrestling storylines and booking. Occasionally a bubble bursts and they see through the shit to produce something good but after this many years theres so many psychotic bubbles floating around that the ego can't see them.
Politics are what prevented Russo from growing WCW and TNA more than he did.
All of the people who rag on his WCW run don't know the actual facts and are regurgitating bullcrap they've heard by revisionists. He was head of creative in WCW for 3 months and he took the rating from a 2.6 to a 3.4. Nobody was going to get the rating from a 2.6 to a 5.0 in that time frame because that's not how TV works. Look at all the successful shows and you'll see it took years for them to peak. It took the WWF almost 3 years to hit its peak with RAW.
Gaining the trust of the audience takes time, regardless of whether your show is good or not. 1997 proves that. It's much, much easier to lose viewers than it is to gain them.
Only when that idea was obviously not going to work I stood my ground and gave them ideas 100x worse bro
"I always knew Jim Cornette could never stand me" ... I hate to break it to you, but *nobody* can stand you Russo - anybody with a modicum of interest in the wrestling business loathes you for what you've done to it.
Um wrong, there's alot of people who like Vince. You go and check out his podcast he had guys like Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Stevie Richard, DDP, Marc Mero, Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, Kurt Angle, Gail Kim, Mickie James, Lex Luger, Bob Backlund, Paul Orndorff, Ric Flair, and many many others who came on his show and talked with him...sometimes some of them did 2 or 3 talks with him.
If you hate someone, like truly hate them the last thing you wanna do is talk with them. So why would you go on there show to talk with them if you hate them?
Hell Shawn Michaels even said "I always liked you Vince" so no, not everyone hates Vince Russo, its a dumb misconception
Every time he says “honestly” you know a lie is coming
He’s a compulsive liar. He basically got Jim fired by saying to Dixie ‘it’s either him or me’.
Well that means that Jim wasn’t as good as Russo. Have fun praising this talentless fat atheist.
By your reasoning Cornette got himself fired
And the dumb bitch picked the wrong one
@@rexventura4603 He's not a good booker because he was always trapped in the 80's. SMW went under while ECW thrived. He's the reason along with Prichard that 83 Weeks is even a thing. WWF in 1996 had a paper thin midcard, a paper thin tag division, and a non-existent womens division. RAW was HORRIBLE in 1996 and hit a record low in December. Austin won KOTR 96 and was kept off 4 of the next 6 PPVs. HBK was the babyface John Cena and Roman Reigns of his time with the crowd turning against him, and Rocky Maivia was being told to die by the fans. The crowds were tired of watching hokey garbage and were demanding change.
Russo turned it around by giving the roster solid character work and memorable segments that are still talked about today. Dixie Carter absolutely picked the right guy, because 2 years after Cornette left, TNA hit record high viewership, surpassing 2m viewers. Cornette was against the creative direction that resulted in record high viewership. He's a ratings repellent.
@@rexventura4603 every single position he has ever had outside of managed failed. All his promotions he's run failed. He's a talentless carny
Any time he says I gotta be honest with ya you know theres a lie coming
You sound hurt lol
The Attitude era is genius. Vince did some great work. All control issues run amok.
Love Russo to actually be questioned and have to respond to Jim cornette’s version of his last days - shaking his hand, the stupid sting vs Hernandez booking, the leaked anonymous report targeting Jim etc...
I started watching wrestling with WWF in 97. Switched to WCW when Austin got hurt. Didn't watch WWF until the buyout. Preferred TNA though cause of Sting. Quit watching altogether around 2009. Never knew behind the scenes news until quarantine boredom got me and it turns out I loved Russos work and not much else. Don't get the hate for him at all.
I think it comes down to people riding Cornette's nuts, thinking Russo killed WCW and/or thinking he had little to do with the success of the Attitude Era.
Meanwhile, most of them enjoyed that Era and it would've been curtailed by Cornette and his antiquated views.
The wrestling bubble man.
They all hate RUSSO cuz it's the cool thing to do.
Russo was great. Cornett was a great heal cuz he’s a real life a-hole. If Cornette was in charge of the Attitude era instead of Russo, Dr. Death Steve Williams and Rock & Roll Express would’ve been the champions and Stone Cold & the New Age Outlaws would’ve been jobbing to them.
Because he’s an ass who likes to pretend every success is because of him, and anything that goes wrong is always someone else’s fault. Most people in the back don’t despise him like Cornette, but they do not like his booking, ideas, or whatever.
If you actually believe his work is good, then go watch his wrestling promotion, devotional wrestling, and see how well that is actually doing.
@@datemasamune2904 Or, you could look at the viewership he improved in all 3 major companies he worked for. You could look at the praise he gets from the likes of Austin, Rock, Foley, Angle, HBK, Styles, Sting, Nash, JR, King, Booker T and so many others.
Konnan has stated he started a petition to get Russo back in charge of creative when Russo went home in January of 2000, and he also confirmed that the majority of the roster signed it. This is why you shouldn't buy into the BS of a handful of jealous rivals who were replaced by him because they couldn't lace his boots in terms of viewership numbers.
I like Vince and I like Corney. They're just different guys, is all. I do wish Corney was willing to bury the hatchet. Dutch Mantell even said that he told Corney to let it go or it will make you sick.
Finally someone level headed. I'm not a huge Russo fan, but for all the shit today's fans talk about him, he booked in WWF when more people than ever before or since watched wrestling every week.
It can make you sick, or it can go fill circle and give you a reason to keep on living longer so you can see the guy you hate die before you.
@@Triplebrc I don't know, man. Not many guys out there are saying, "I'm glad I held on to my hate for years and here's all the wonderful results I've experienced!" I think Dutch's advice is probably better.
@@TheOriginalRizk I am sure you will find people who had the biggest celebration of their lifes when their enemy died. In Cornettes case, hating Russo does not really take much time out of his day, if anything it made him more popular, he also decided to live healthier to he will outlive Russo for the sake of pissing upon his grave. Hate is an unparalleled motivator.
@@Triplebrc Being consumed by hatred isn't good for anybody. Dutch was right in saying to let it go.
To Russo it was just wrestling to Jim it was his life.........BRO
The thing that I’ve always considered is that if Russo and Cornette worked together they could have had a good run. If Russo wrote the storylines and Corny booked the matches it might have worked. If Cornette was there to pull Russo back in if his storylines got a little out of control I bet it might have worked.
He makes a mockery of something Cornette loves, called all wrestling fans homosexuals and booked a promotion as Tits N Ass with the stable Sports Entertainment Xtreme.
Does their issue boil down to how to annunciate the letter H?
Honestly in all of the interviews I’ve seen Russo seems to be a pretty laid back guy. Corny makes me laugh with his rants but after almost 3 decades of animosity I think it might be about time to let bygones be bygones…. Bro.
Russo is a liar when he said “I don’t know what makes him hate me” Jim has probably 10ths worth of rants as to why he hates Russo from making fun of JR, to creative ideas which were terrible like the abortion angle based off Dallas, to him getting Jim fired from TNA
Vince Russo did nothing wrong. He is just the marks go to scapegoat. The marks would hate Russo for everything, while praising Vince McMahon, even though he made way more dumb shit and turned WWE into Disney.
Both are multi billion dollar empires.
Piñata on a pole match really? “WWE turned into Disney” WWE has had the greatest wrestling matches in history.
Kam Fisher Facts these guys don’t know Jackshit. Triple h vs cactus jack royal rumble 2000 alone is a better wrestling match than russo ever put out.
Arindam S. Roy He wouldn’t know that because he’s a russo fan which shows his lack of common sense and business sense.
@@heyyo7431
Russo wrote the attitude era, the peak WWE(F). If not for him there would have been no HHH vs Cactus Jack match that year bro.
I Mean, Seriously? How Many Times Can Vinny Ru Turn the Proverbial Other Cheek?
So bro how does it feel to be scared to death of a 60 year old man with bad knees?
I got props to Russo for never getting so hateful in regards to Cornette. Even if Russo is a universal moron, Russo is professional in regards to Cornette.
Because Russo tries to babyface himself. Cornette tells his honest opinions and goes off on rants, but, would say the same to his face. Russo plays the nice guy in public to be liked and get sympathy, but, has gone out of his way to have Cornette (and others) fired or removed from a position within a company and done it behind their backs.
@@mikeydoc11 No. Cornette is an insecure ugly psychopath, inside and out. It's childish and stupid, but he has a bunch of people who subscribe to his foolishness.
Nothing says professional like slapping your employees and requesting they have sex with your wife in front of you, Cornette is very professional....Russo is a saint compared to that moron Cornette.
When you say “ honestly “ 15 times means you lie like a rug
Between the two I’m more of a Cornette fan but I think Jim’s taken his hatred of Russo waaaayyyy to far over the years
He looks so young here
Drinking Game Alert: take a shot every time you hear Vince say honest/honestly😂
He has a respect for what they do? If he did he wouldnt have entered the fucking industry.
Find it funny how everyone wants a return to the attitude era. This guy was writing that. Can't say it was all Vince look at today's Wrestling. Second Jim Cornette the character and the person aren't far apart. He worked well with him in TNA. But three states away starts talking smack. Makes Cornette look like the kid who threw rocks and hid behind his mom afterwards.

@@kamfisher1714 Not all Ed Ferrara helped out.

@@Y2JLionHeart He'll never stop. He mentions Russo even if the topic is completely unrelated. He even says he does a Russo when he takes a shit.
Russo is diplomatic & political when he answers questions. He'll lie or stretch the truth in order to give the best response to make himself look as good as he can.
Cornette will be as raw & real as is the actuality & reality of what really happened. Even as ugly as it might be, you're getting 100% honesty out of Jimmy.
I guess you are right that Russo is more "normal" & Jimmy is "insane."
It is more "normal" to care about what other people think, and to keep up an image. It is "insane" to say what's truly in your heart, and not give a flying "F" what anybody thinks or has to say about it.
@@TheNotbadphonedaddy Care to back that up with proof? Cornette has literally said he will do or say whatever he can to cost Russo money. Do you think he's above lying through his teeth if it means he can cost Russo money? Give me a break lol.

Russo is a writer. Cornette is a Booker. Bookers will always want to see their guys go over. Writers will write for whomever they're told to write for which is usually from the higher ups because the higher ups want to see certain talent being put over, and even then, the writers work still has to be approved, adjusted, and accepted. WCW and TNA failed because of terrible money, directive, and contract decisions made by people usually working in positions ABOVE the writer. So Cornette just has an irrational reason to hate Russo because he's a mark for himself and likes to have heat with someone because he still thinks kayfabe is real. Booker and Big Show both said the same thing about WCW being chaotic, structureless, with big egos who made things cushy for themselves. Now Nash is a near 7 foot tall torn quad meme, Hall's health was shot to shit, Bischoff has to make sporadic appearances here and there. That's karma and effect.
So in wwe, a writer’s position is above a booker’s?
If any of that was true, then why would any higher up want him, or allow him, to not only put himself on T.V. - especially when he can't string a coherent word together - but self-insert and book himself to be the WCW champion....
Russo is a shmuck who had 1 good idea one time, but was able to bullshit himself into that positon then later bullshit himself into too many positons he was not qualified for. His actions and writing were the reason not 1 but 2 companies went out of business.
TNA for over a decade was a mess - the wrestling wasn't an issue, it was there was no reason to be invested because of how dogshit the story lines were. Cornette is correct. You can't just right any whacky doodle dipshit and hope to make it coherrent. You have to take into account the booking - making your top baby face or heel do certain things kills there credability, it harms their character, it hurts their star power. Lower star power means they're less of a draw. You draw less, means you aren't selling as many tickets, getting as many views or PPV buys, means you're losing money.
Russo is a hack with 22 years of proof to show for it.
Russo should manage Rk Bro!
‘I fucked up two separate wrestling companies!’
Snake liar. Russo buried Cornette in his book

When was this interview done? Russo looks so young

You're damn right he did
No I’m pretty sure Steve Austin and The Rock were able to create their star power on their own, without Russo’s help
Tell me Russo is scared shit less of ole corny , with out saying Russo is scared shitless
I get that Russo had a lot of silly ideas. But I’ve never really understood why Corny hates him so much. He never has much to say about Russo wronging him outside of disagreeing on wrestling philosophy and ideas. Just seems like a silly reason to hate someone. At least Bischoffs stories about Russo I can get his disdain.
Cornette takes wrestling VERY seriously, and Russo doesn't. Russo tore down all the things that Cornette believes made wrestling work. I tend to think that Cornette was right and Russo was wrong. That's not to say that every idea Cornette ever had was gold, or that Russo never came up with a good idea. On the whole, however, Cornette gets it. He's all about building things up and making sure the storyline/psychology makes sense. Russo doesn't care if it makes sense, he just throws things at the wall to see if they'll stick.
