Vince Russo didn’t ease into his latest appearance—he came out swinging.

Opening JCW Lunacy: Episode 61, Russo launched into a fiery rant aimed squarely at Triple H, accusing WWE’s top creative figure of letting personal agendas dictate who succeeds and who gets shown the door. From there, Russo zeroed in on Karrion Kross, claiming his WWE exit wasn’t about performance or fit, but something much more personal. Russo framed his argument by first taking aim at WWE’s power structure under Triple H:

“There’s a guy currently running the WWE, and he does it better than you. And his name is Triple H. And guess what—Triple H used to be a wrestler.”

From that point, Russo argued that Triple H’s background as a former in-ring performer creates built-in bias that affects the roster and the product:

“So what that means is, Triple H has an agenda. Triple H likes some of the guys on the roster. Doesn’t like some of the guys on the roster. And it has an impact on the show he runs.”

That’s when Russo brought Karrion Kross into the conversation, using his WWE departure as the example. Russo then delivered his most explosive claim of the segment:

“If that’s not the truth, then explain to me about Karrion Kross. Why is Karrion Kross no longer in the WWE? I’ll tell you why—because Triple H knew that Karrion Kross was going to be a bigger star than he was.”

With the accusation out in the open, Russo shifted gears and addressed Kross directly, extending an open invitation to bring his post-WWE career to Juggalo Championship Wrestling:

“Oh, now you’re starting to listen. Oh, now you understand. And Karrion Kross—if you’re listening—you are welcome here anytime. With Scarlett.”

The timing of Russo’s comments is hard to ignore. Kross and Scarlett have recently been vocal about thriving outside WWE, and Russo’s public pitch adds another layer to the ongoing conversation about talent freedom, creative control, and life after Stamford.

Is Vince Russo right about Triple H letting personal bias shape WWE’s roster decisions? And should Karrion Kross take him up on the JCW invitation? Drop your thoughts below and join the conversation.
