Lane points out that fans were angry about a quick Brock Lesnar/Kane match at a house show last week. Gilbertti wonders how long fans would have liked this to go. He points out that this just goes to show where fans’ suspension of disbelief is today. The matches are fake, so now fans are demanding long matches so they’ll “get their money’s worth”. He adds that if fans are complaining, there’s a good chance WWE did it right.
Gilbertti mentions that WWE has really hurt Nia Jax’s character recently by having her look weak and by showing her crying in the backstage area. He points out that if Jax were to take some time off and change her body, she’d be over huge when she comes back.
Russo speaks about the Jim Ross parody character that was shown in WCW shortly after his arrival there. He calls that idea horrible, and says he’s ashamed and embarrassed by it. He’s apologized to Ross several times and Ross has accepted his apology. He recalls sitting in a production meeting shortly after one of Ross’ episodes of Bells Palsy, and Vince McMahon put a paper in front of his face so Ross couldn’t see and proceeded to make fun of him.
Russo says that’s why when he sees Nakamura or Asuka cutting promos on WWE television he knows it’s only for McMahon’s entertainment.
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 next week for another recap!
