Hey guys. I really appreciate all the feedback and comments. I just wanted to say, I'm not like some huge Russo mark lol. But I do like listening to him, he's pretty funny and has some really interesting takes on the business, and I just think he's totally correct here. I see a lot of you guys talking about Corny too. I love me some Jim Cornette. Listen to him almost everyday. Like it's been said in the comments by other users, this is one thing that Russo and Corny actually agree on haha

The thing I dislike the most when guys call out the entire match in the back instead of in the ring is it tends to lead to guys botching moves, and then doing them right there. Like a guy sets a person up for a superplex, the guy slips off the rope when trying to superplex his opponent, and then his opponent just stays sitting on the turnbuckle waiting for the other guy to get back up and superplex him. By doing that, it gives away what was going to happen, and makes a match look overly scripted, and dare I say, fake. Like, when an actor in a play flubs a line, or a musician hits the wrong note, they don't stop the play or song to get the line or note right. They just move on and keep going. More wrestlers need to learn how to do that, IMO.

Theres a reason rock vs Hogan is such a beloved match. They had the crowd in the palms of their hands because of how they told the story.. they barley left their feet and was no high spots maybe a couple of little sequences but they just told a story using the crowd making every move count and mean something. Yes it wasn't the best straight up wrestling match but it didn't need to be. It was a perfect story told in a ring between two ledgends. They made even a wrist lock mean something made it entertaining. They improvised on the spot to the audience and made history because of it.

I don’t agree with most of his nonsense here but after working on Indy shows in 03 with mostly TNA talent he was right about the guys going over their matches move for move in the back and not listening to older guys. I watched AJ Styles doing backslides in a community center hallway with Elix Skipper and all kinds of other moves for an hour until he accidentally kicked Sonny Siaki in the head. That ended things really fast. He also kept calling everyone “Kid” including Bullet Bob and Brian Armstrong which I thought was a dick thing to do but that’s just me.

Star ratings come AFTER matches. So how can a apparent 5 star match be used to sell tickets after the fact.

@@killwalker Objectively true so yeah

Says he won’t do anymore interviews or speak on these subjects again, but it’s literally what he does for a living now lol

Russo and Jim tell same about Young Bucks, they memorises moves and lack of ring psychology.

Says he's not gonna talk about this stuff no more then proceeds to start a podcast where he talks about wrestling

Last interview 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Holy crap I agree with Russo on something

Holy shit!! Corny and Russo agree on something😳?! The young bucks and omega are full of themselves. The fans are telling Tony Khan they don't care about them. The ratings drop every time they are on tv.

Tony khan is the new Dixie Carter. AEW is the new TNA/WCW. And the young bucks suck

Its funny how much he sounds like Jim complaining about him💯🤣🤣🤣

sounds like every previous generation complaining about the next generation...

How come Vince gets all the hate and never Ed Ferrara? They worked together.

I think cos the marks believed he really was his character from WCW.

Shane Helms and Shannon Moore were the Bucks before Generation Me.

Russo said this his last wrestling interview fast forward to today he has done hundreds of them and has a wrestling podcast lmao

Meltzer isn’t going to get them a mania main event . It won’t matter nobody cares unless you do in WWE let alone mania . They have destroyed selling and emotion in wrestling and they are both the Jannetty of their own tag team .

Jim Cornette just felt a disturbance in the force…

Holy fuck, something Jim Cornette and Russo could actually sit down and agree on, lol.

In these chats Sean isn't usually sitting so physically close to a guest or allowing them to touch him so much. Sean is even turned directly to face Vince, practically on his lap. It's nice tbh, but unusual for this format. Does talking to Vince invite sitting two inches away from him?

From when is this?

Usually people who are telling the truth don't have to constantly state they are! And did I just wake up in an alternate universe cos I think that's the first time he's spoken sense lol .

Do you live in a universe where everyone loves Jay Strongbow matches? Cause in my universe they still suck ass.

The more you listen to Russo and Cornette, the more their opinions line up, just different viewpoints on how to get there.

“Chris Daniels” lololol this interview is everything

I was never one who popped off at anyone who uses the word 'fake' to describe wrestling but can we not have people who have or do write the shows call it that?

I love how he always has to preface that he is being honest...because he is normally dishonest.

@@JayReaction530 Writing better stuff than Russo is a stretch. Gewirtz was part of the creative team that saw WWF lose millions of viewers through the early 00's. Whenever you see clips of the Attitude Era's most popular moments, the majority of those moments came under Russo's writing, not Gewirtz. Russo should never have put himself on TV though. Doing so meant that he couldn't do things to help his writing that he used to, for example the anonymity of going into the crowd and sampling the audience reaction live.

How old is this interview?

Why can't there be room for both wrestlers who are tremendous in the ring and fantastic on the mic. For me, I was brought back to wrestling because of what happened in the ring. The Young Bucks have done pretty well for themselves. They are incredible. Russo reminds me of someone who refuses to change with the times. I find Russo as a despicable creature who is set on his ways and refuses to adapt. AEW is making a ton of money and so isn't NJPW. Both sides can profit

Now I understand why Russo called them “Generation me” in TNA. It’s even funnier when one of The Young Bucks in an interview said: “I really wish I could’ve asked Vince to explain the gimmick to us”. Buddy, you are the gimmick lmao. You just proved Vince Russo’s point: In one ear, out the other 😂.

You know the bucks are bad when Russo shits on them too. Amazing haha

You have to remember that Russo will say anything in the moment to make himself "Babyface".
