He hopes that his new promotion will be able to give a bunch of young luchadors a place to work, and he plans to incorporate a touring schedule into their plans. He assumes that once the promotion gets rolling he’ll have more and more established names calling him, looking for opportunities to work.
Harris’ promotion has hired Vince Russo as a creative consultant, and Harris absolutely expected a backlash when he hired Russo to work with him. He points out that whether you like Russo or not, you have to respect the numbers that Russo put up in all the places he’s previously worked.
He points out that Russo thinks outside the box and comes up with fresh, creative ideas. They then work with Konnan, who lets them know whether those ideas fit within the Lucha culture or not. Ultimately, he and his brother, Don makes the final creative decisions.
That sums up today’s episode of The Ross Report. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
