Vince Russo Plans to Quit Watching WWE on His 65th Birthday

Vince Russo has never been shy about his opinions on WWE’s creative direction, and now, he’s officially put a time limit on his critiques.

The former WWE head writer took to Twitter on February 21, 2025, to reveal that he’ll be retiring from watching WWE programming entirely—giving himself just 11 more months to tell it like it is.

“As my retirement plan now comes into form, I can tell you that on my 65th birthday I will stop watching any and all WWF programming for good,” Russo tweeted. “So, that leaves about 11 more months of me being one of the only podcasters who will be brutally honest with you about the poor, underachieving, creative quality of the show. So, enjoy the honesty and truth while you can.”

Russo’s announcement comes just days after he ripped into Triple H’s booking of Lyra Valkyria, slamming WWE for having the Women’s Intercontinental Champion lose to Bayley before ever defending her title. He questioned Triple H’s writing ability, calling the move “baffling” and something that “never would have happened on Vince’s time.”

With less than a year left before he pulls the plug on WWE, Russo isn’t backing down. Whether you love him or hate him, one thing is clear—he’s going to go out swinging.

Will WWE’s creative direction change Russo’s mind before his deadline? Or is he truly done for good? Drop your thoughts below!
