Another listener calls into the show and asks Russo what type of program he’d produce for the WWE Network if he was given the opportunity. Russo says he’d love to bring back the attitude era in some form, featuring stars from that point in time. Even though some of those performers can’t work anymore they can still talk.
Just imagine Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels standing face to face in the ring, hashing out old issues from 20 years ago. He points out that those veterans can then give the ‘rub’ to younger talents, who can basically do the fighting for their mentors. He thinks a show like this would outdraw RAW on a weekly basis rather easily.
Russo believes that a lot of WWE Network subscribers pay their monthly rate for the Network in order to watch the old attitude era programming, and he just thinks it’d be smart to use some of the stars from that era to produce some fresh programming.
That sums up another 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!
