Meltzer spoke out about Russo’s time in WCW during one of his audio shows this past week. Meltzer informed that a few weeks after Russo went to WCW, someone from WCW called him and asked him what he thought about the new product. Meltzer said he was kind of dissapointed in the product, to which the caller replied, “It’s not going to work is it?” Meltzer confirmed to the caller from WCW that he didn’t think Russo was going to work out in the company, and added that a few weeks after that call “the big fight” occurred and Russo was replaced.
Russo begins by saying that there was never a “big fight”. He was simply told by Bill Bush that the company was going to go in a different direction. Nonetheless, it wouldn’t surprise him if someone like Bill Bush or J.J. Dillion called Meltzer at that time.
Lastly, A russo fan tweeted Meltzer this week mentioning that Russo’s credentials in the business surpass Meltzer’s credentials. Meltzer tried to defend himself by saying that people have told him he’s one of the best sports reporters of all time. Russo simply mentions that nearly 3 decades after beginning his career in the business he’s still making a living from it. That’s certainly something to be proud of.
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!
