The next caller mentions that he’s a huge fan of ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage. Russo informs that one of the first things he did when he became Managing Editor of WWE Magazine was set up an in-person interview with Randy Savage. He traveled to Savage’s home and conducted the interview and he still considers that to be one of the highlights of his career.
Russo says that Savage was one of the strongest defenders of kayfabe, and he’d do anything in his power to protect the business of professional wrestling. Russo says that Savage never involved himself in the politics of the business and he didn’t have an ego at all, even though he was a massive star. He concludes his thoughts on Savage by saying he never saw a son love his father as much as Savage loved his father, Angelo.
Speaking about the rumours that Neville asked for his release from WWE, Russo says that Neville probably just got sick of working in the Cruiserweight division. Russo hopes that this is all just rumours because he considers Neville to be one of the better characters in WWE. He doesn’t understand how Finn Balor is higher on WWE’s depth chart than Neville because Neville is more charismatic and has a more impressive physique.
