Russo knows full well that he made some mistakes during his time leading the creative teams in WWE, WCW and TNA. He specifically mentions that the “Dog Kennel from Hell” match in WWE was a terrible idea, and he takes full responsibility for that. He also admits that sometimes he, Ferrara and the other creative team members would be burnt out, and in order to book a show easily and quickly they’d book a tournament.
He points out that tournaments never draw on wrestling programming, mostly due to the fact that most matches in tournaments are “cold”. The cold matches consist of two random competitors wrestling in a match that has no previous storyline building up to it. For this reason, fans have no reason to care about who wins these matches.
Russo goes on to say that he doesn’t regret anything he did during his time in the wrestling business, and he owns all of the decisions he made during that time. However, he will not allow people to spread lies about him, and he will not take heat for things that he had nothing to do with. He says that Triple H needs to rescind these comments.
That sums up today’s episode of Vince Russo’s The Brand. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya tomorrow for another recap!
