Dave Meltzer tweeted out this week saying that Vince McMahon started reading the Wrestling Observer in 1982, and several WWE officials subscribe to the newsletter today. Russo says he has a hard time believing that McMahon writes Dave Meltzer a subscription cheque each year just to hear Meltzer’s uninformed opinions on his product.
In another clip from last week, Bryan Alvarez was very critical of The Miz, criticizing his promos, his matches and the fact that he hasn’t made the Intercontinental Title mean anything at all. Russo points out that Alvarez’s backyard wrestling career doesn’t qualify him to talk about a bonafide professional wrestler like this.
Speaking about working with Vince McMahon, Russo says he felt a presence when McMahon would walk into the room. He never felt that around anyone else in his entire life. He says that has nothing to do with money or fame, it’s just the way McMahon carries himself.
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!
