At another point last week somebody tweeted Dave Meltzer asking him what WWE was trying to accomplish with their recent Backlash PPV. Meltzer tweeted back, “It was an experiment”. Russo has no idea what Meltzer is talking about here, but points out that Meltzer is so good at this. He never explains anything he says.
PWTorch’s Wade Keller spoke this past week about Seth Rollins. He loves Rollins, noting that if Reigns had a third of the swagger on the mic that Rollins had he’d be a shoe-in for top guy on the roster. Russo says that Keller, along with all the other dirt sheet writers, has an agenda. Russo adds that this is why Keller has never been part of the business, because Rollins’ promos just consist of putting the fans over every night.
He points out that this type of babyface promo is the same thing as heels getting cheap heat by making fun of the fans. He adds that this is not a knock on Rollins; it’s more of a knock on the creative team who writes the promos.
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!
