Lane says he can’t take Samoa Joe seriously because he looks like a fat kid going to the beach in his current ring gear. Russo points out that Joe’s been wearing the same trunks for years and he doesn’t understand why performers are hesitant to invest money in their wardrobes, because those who do always stand out. Charlotte is the prime example of this in his opinion.
Russo points out that the match between Charlotte and Billie Kay left a lot to be desired. Richards agrees, pointing out that Peyton Royce actually trained with Lance Storm and is probably the better in-ring worker, yet WWE ribbed everyone by putting the lesser worker in this match against Charlotte.
Russo doesn’t have any idea why WWE put Daniel Bryan’s head anywhere near Big Cass’ boot. Hamin notes that these performers are all just pieces for McMahon and Russo agrees, implying that McMahon will throw you to the curb when he’s finished with you. He points to the story that was told in the recent Andre the Giant documentary, where McMahon was seen crying over the thought of Andre and him not speaking at the end of Andre’s life. Russo points out that McMahon threw Andre to the curb when he was crippled at the end of his run, and he hasn’t changed since then.
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 next week for another recap!
