Vince Russo was a head writer back in the WWE heyday from the Attitude Era before heading to WCW and having a stint with TNA. Russo was close to coming back to the WWE in 2002 after WCW was bought by Vince McMahon but the reunion never happened and Russo blames Triple H for that.
Via Ring Rust Radio,
“I was very disappointed when I almost went back to WWE back in 2002 and found out more or less Triple H was not in my corner after all I did for him. Fast forward twelve years later and you see the position he is in and Stephanie is in and now it makes all the sense in the world. If you eventually want the power, then you want to keep a guy away like a Vince Russo away who from a creative stand point is going to produce better content and better TV than you can. A Vince Russo is a better writer and went to school for writing to be a writer and knows the art of writing. When that happened in 2002 and I learned he was working behind the scenes to keep me out of the WWE, I would be lying to you if I told you my opinion of him did not change.” – Vince Russo
Vince Russo is a tough guy to nail down. I feel like he rewrites history to favor himself but I can also see Triple H wanting to keep Russo from coming to the company because he was trying to build himself up. Either way, the guy has lived wrestling so it’s fun hearing him talk about the business with his inside knowledge of everything. You can check out the entire interview below.
