He has said on multiple occasions that it was basically Vince McMahon who came up with ‘The Godfather’ character, so he doesn’t know why Godfather is mad at him. Either way, Russo says he doesn’t dislike any of these people, other than Eric Bischoff because he simply doesn’t like the way Bischoff treats people.
While attending the convention he met his old friend Bill Apter. He says that if you can’t get along with Bill Apter, you’re the problem in that scenario. He eventually saw former WWE Superstar, Henry Godwin, who still looks great according to Russo. He then met with Animal, one half of the iconic tag team, The Road Warriors.
While speaking with Animal, he confirmed to Russo that he threw his hat into the ring to become a trainer at WWE’s Performance Centre but they passed on his offer. Russo can’t believe that WWE weren’t interested in having one half of the greatest tag teams of all time teaching tag team wrestling at the Performance Centre.
He saw Rick Steiner at the convention, and he says Steiner could still be main eventing for WWE, even at 55 years of age. He says he’d definitely take 55-year old Steiner over Sami Zayn any day of the week. Scott Steiner was there as well and Russo says that Scott is a very intimidating figure, but once you get to know him it’s easy to see that he has a heart of gold and he’s a wonderful family man.
