VINCE RUSSO WANTS TO WORK WITH THE WWE AGAIN

On his Truth or Consequences Patreon, Vince Russo discussed a recent email communication he had with WWE Superstar and Smackdown tag team champion Shane McMahon. Vince Russo apparently offered his services (again) as a consultant for WWE and said he’s “always been loyal” to the McMahon Family. Vince Russo painted the idea that WWE is losing ratings and that they could be in trouble with a bad product and AEW gearing up later this year.


Vince Russo on reaching out to Shane McMahon: “I know this AEW thing is starting. I know they have not done anything despite the whole [McMahon family] coming out. I hate Monday and Tuesdays in my life. I hate it. So I reached out to Shane and I said, ‘bro, you know I’ve always been loyal to you. I’ve always been loyal to your family. I just want to say more or less if there’s anything I can do for you, like, let me know.’”


Vince Russo on how Shane McMahon responded to him quickly: “So Shane writes me back almost immediately, right? And he goes, ‘Vince, great to hear from you’ he tells me how his kids are doing. This, that, and the other thing blah, blah, blah. Here’s what he says, you ready? ‘I’ll pass it along.’ So now I’m like, are you guys that ignorant? Like seriously? Not for anything, your show sucks. The numbers indicate you are losing viewers on a weekly basis. There’s no light at the end of the tunnel. You don’t have that guy that’s gonna save the day. You’ve got a new up-start wrestling promotion with a lot of money. You’ve got a guy here [Vince Russo] who whether you like it or not was instrumental in drawing you the highest ratings.I said to Shane in the previous email, I said, ‘Shane not being so close to it I have a much different perspective you know sitting on the outside that might be able to help you.”


Vince Russo on getting angry over Shane’s response and what he wrote back to him: “So I wrote back to him and said, ‘Shane, let’s be honest here. It boggles my mind how for whatever reason you guys have never tapped into me again. I know the reason bro, I know Shane knows the reason. I know Vince knows the reason, but I’m not gonna get into that. I said it boggles my mind bro, that you guys have a resource like me and you don’t tap into it.’”


Vince Russo is notoriously known for his bizarre story lines during the attitude era.
