On October 2nd, 1998, Russo and Ferrara were actually home in the United States, meeting with WCW officials.  He and Ferrara had nothing to do with the creative of the Rebellion PPV or the Stephanie ‘amnesia’ angle, and he’s sick and tired of Triple H spouting lies about him.

Russo assumes that the trash can struck Stephanie by mistake at the show that night, and after McMahon and WWE officials realized that Russo and Ferrara were leaving for WCW, they used this amnesia angle in order to buy themselves some time to figure out how to end this storyline. Russo says he hadn’t even heard of the Rebellion PPV before, and he guarantees that he had nothing to do with it.

Russo adds that Triple H was never a part of creative meetings during the attitude era, and it’s not his place to comment on these types of things. Lane adds that WWE consistently produces documentaries where they interview former employees who can give their version of stories about days gone by, and these opinions are presented as truths. Russo and Ferrara are left out of all these conversations, so they never have a chance to present the facts about what happened during that time.
