Russo thought it was such a mismatch having Charlotte and Ruby Riot in the ring together. He points out that Charlotte looks like a star and he thinks WWE need to alter Riot’s look in order to get her and Charlotte on the same planet. He adds that he loves Bobby Roode, but Roode’s inclusion in this segment seemed strange and he’s still not sure what’s “glorious” about Roode’s gimmick. .
Hamin and Richards also point out that it was obvious that Roode was produced on commentary because Roode does not normally speak how he did as a guest on commentary Tuesday night. Russo recalls meeting with Mick Foley at Jeff Jarrett’s house when he transitioned to TNA from WWE back in the day.
Foley had been working commentary at WWE prior to leaving, and he told Russo and Jarrett that he simply couldn’t take another second of McMahon in his headset. McMahon overproducing him on commentary was a big part of why Foley left WWE at that time.
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 later this week for another recap!
