During the interview, Shamrock went on to tell Russo that everything took a turn for the worst for him at WWE after the Montreal Screwjob because he was on ‘Team Bret’. After that, WWE began pitching him strange ideas such as wanting him to wrestle Chyna and involving him in an ‘incest angle’ on WWE television with his sister. Russo can’t remember being involved in either of those angles creatively.
Russo can imagine a scenario where they’d book him against Chyna because he was involved in a program with DX and Chyna was very impressive physically, but there’s no way he suggested that incest angle. This got Russo thinking about the possibility of WWE employees going behind his back at the time to pitch outlandish ideas to Superstars in the hopes of giving the company an excuse to release them.
He says he wouldn’t put this past WWE because that’s the way the wrestling business works. Maybe that can explain some of the heat people have with him from years gone by.
Russo mentions that he saw a lot of familiar faces at the wrestling convention he attended in New Jersey last weekend. He loves seeing all of his old companions from years gone by when he attends these events, but he’s always somewhat concerned with who has heat with him on any given day. He heard recently that The Godfather has heat with him and Russo has no idea why.
