Gilbertti doesn’t think WWE can suspend someone for the completely legal things they do in private. They didn’t post those videos or pictures to the public on purpose, and in actuality a crime was committed against them when these videos were stolen and shared to the public.
Speaking about the recently announced Mixed Match Challenge, Russo points out that WWE needs to be careful about how much product they’re putting out. Fans will eventually stop watching if there’s several hours of wrestling on each day of the week. He wonders, “How much of this shi* can you watch?”
Cody Rhodes informed this week that he made over $1,000,000 this past year for the first time in his wrestling career. Russo is happy to hear that and points out that Rhodes’ work in Japan definitely played a big part in him making that kind of money. Gilbertti agrees saying that the business is actually hot in Japan and they’re selling out buildings there. Wrestling isn’t hot in North America at all 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 next week for another recap!
