Russo understands that opinion, but he points out that after he critiques these shows the marks attack him online and he has to deal with the constant social media backlash of what he says. His father says that’s all just part of it, and he needs to either argue with them or just ignore them and move forward.
Russo’s father enjoyed watching Miss Elizabeth and Macho Man back in the day when “…the shows were good”, but he was not a fan of attending WWE/WCW shows when Vince wrote during the attitude era. His mother would want to attend as many shows as possible because she enjoyed seeing her son working in that position.
Russo’s father does agree with him in the sense that today’s product is not very good. He says the marks are idiots if they keep watching these ‘stupid’ shows because they’re boring.
Vince says that he can’t just ‘suck it up’ and watch the shows because he gets so riled up while watching that his blood pressure sores through the roof. His father suggests that he go see a doctor and get some anxiety or blood pressure pills, because it’s either he finds a way to get through these shows or his business is going to suffer. He suggests that Russo watch the show and take a pill after it’s over to calm himself down.
