Lane mentions that ‘Million Dollar Man’ Ted DiBiase spoke last week, calling wrestling Titles ‘props’. He said he never needed that ‘prop’ in order to get over, and Gilbertti agrees with that entirely. Russo also agrees and says that fast-forwarding to today’s product, A.J. Styles doesn’t need that ‘prop’ either.
Gilbertti thought Jinder Mahal/Brock Lesnar match was a much more captivating match at Survivor series than Styles/Lesnar. Russo points out that contrary to Paul Heyman’s usual promos where he puts over Lesnar’s opponents, Heyman absolutely buried Mahal on RAW recently. Russo wonders whether someone got into McMahon’s ear backstage, urging him to get Mahal out of the Title picture.
Lane informs that Alberto El Patron has heat with the Impact locker room once again due to him having his own trailer backstage at Impact tapings. Russo says that Patron always looked like a star to him, and in the end this is business. If you’re a big star and you can demand these kind of perks, then more power to you.
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!
