Russo mentions that there was a point when Joe was working in NJPW that he looked terrific, but his weight was always an issue in TNA. Joe would often get lazy and Russo, along with other TNA officials would have to kick him into gear. Vito knew that he needed to have a good body when transitionting from WCW to WWE, and he worked very hard to make that happen. He points out that you can’t teach heart, and maybe Joe is lacking that internal drive to get himself into shape.
Transitioning over to Smackdown Live, Russo says there’s simply nothing to talk about on this show. As long as Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are opening and closing the show, we all know that the entirety of Smackdown Live is going to be a waste of time in his opinion.
Bolin suggests that WWE should switch Zayn from an in-ring worker to a Manager because he’s a decent talker, but there’s not really anything interesting happening with Zayn from an in-ring perspective right now.
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!
