After a period of time McMahon begins to make his own judgements on these talents, and then he adjusts the plan to his liking. It only took McMahon three weeks to see that the Riott Squad aren’t in the same league as talents like Charlotte and Naomi, and now we’re seeing the results of his discovery play out on Smackdown Live.
Russo understands the need for comedy in wrestling and he actually enjoys it, but you have to use the right people in those spots. He points out that Rusev should never be in a Santa suit like we saw on Smackdown Live last night.
Russo wishes that WWE would have placed some kind of stakes on the main event of last night’s show to make it mean something. There was absolutely no reason to watch this 6-man bout in his opinion, other than to laugh at how silly it looked seeing Jinder Mahal stand next to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Lane says that Owens and Zayn looked like fans standing in the physical presence of Mahal.
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!
