Keller also said this past week that he doesn’t think Vince McMahon knows what to do with Finn Balor, who has a different type of charisma than most Superstars. Russo wonders what charisma Keller is talking about, because he doesn’t see any charisma in Finn Balor at all.
Russo comments on this past week’s Twitter dispute between Ryan Satin and Dave Meltzer. He couldn’t believe the things these two ‘marks’ were saying back and forth to each other, and he thought it was hilarious that the entire thing stemmed from an argument over whether Ric Flair was a pop culture icon or not.
He goes on to say that Flair is obviously a pop culture star, as was proven by the tremendous viewership of his 30 for 30 ESPN documentary. Sure, The Rock and Hulk Hogan are huge stars as well but that doesn’t discredit what Flair has done in the wrestling business. On the other hand, wrestling is not a pop culture phenomenon anymore, so he’s unsure if any wrestlers can be considered pop culture icons at this point.
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!
