He says that he gets a lot of backlash for his criticism of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, but they proved again on this night why they are not professionals. They were acting like goofballs the entire show and even during the match, and that’s simply not the way anyone would act if their careers were legitimately in jeopardy.
He thought having two referees in the ring was ridiculous and a ‘cluster’, but he’s going to wait and see where WWE goes with it before really criticizing this angle. As it’s shaping up right now, it sure appears that we’ll be seeing Shane McMahon vs. Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania.
Russo thought A.J. Styles and Jinder Mahal had a great match in the main event, but he thinks it’s a shame that Mahal didn’t win the Title back. He still thinks Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar played the political card prior to the Survivor Series event because they were afraid Lesnar would have a bad match with Mahal, and this resulted in Styles winning the WWE Title and facing Lesnar.
Russo says that WWE has to put the Title back on Mahal because if they don’t they’ve wasted an entire year. He knows they’re stupid and they don’t have a clue how to book wrestling shows, but he doesn’t think anyone’s that stupid.
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!
