The problem with dirt sheet writers is that once they started spouting their opinions, they then started to disrespect the workers. That’s where the line should have been drawn in Russo’s opinion. It’s all bad enough that these guys claim to know more about the business than the actual performers, but once you start disrespecting those performers you’ve gone too far.
Russo points out that Ryan Satin issued a personal attack on Chris Jericho over his decision to dedicate his NJPW match to Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit. Satin decided to get involved in Jericho’s business and remind everyone of the terrible circumstances which took Benoit’s life, and Jericho was not overly appreciative of this.
Russo doesn’t understand where these guys get the balls to attack performers who are in the industry they’re marks for. It baffles him. Vito points out that these dirt sheet writers are better off keeping their mouths shut in situations like this, because if you don’t have anything nice to say you shouldn’t say anything at all.
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!
