During a recent appearance on the -7 Sports network, Vince Russo provided a blunt assessment of the current WWE landscape and the leadership of Triple H.
“Triple H is horrible creatively and bro, I am not saying that as an as an a knock, because, bro, we all can’t be good at everything honestly”. Russo continued, “there are no storylines in the WWE. There are no characters in the WWE because the guy who’s head of creative is not creative”. Addressing the potential for outside help, Russo stated, “if I were Triple H, I would be using AI right now. I mean, without a shadow of a doubt, bro”.
Regarding the corporate future of the company, Russo told -7 Sports, “they’re going to sell to the Saudis. There’s no question about it. Vince McMahon is going to get that deal done”. He added, “once the Saudis buy that company, Vince McMahon is going to be right back in the saddle again, running it for them”. Russo further speculated on internal tension, saying, “I believe there is heat between Triple H and The Rock. I believe there are camps. I believe there are sides”.
Russo also criticized the retirement tour of John Cena, telling -7 Sports, “it sucked. This there’s nothing”. He voiced his frustration with Cena’s recent booking: “How does John Cena become an afterthought? Every freaking one of these shows should have revolved around John Cena and you put the guy in a six man, come on, bro, and that that’s my problem, bro, because everybody responsible for that should be fired, everybody”.
When asked if he would ever return to the company, Russo was adamant: “Never, never have. Bro, I swear to god that, bro, they could offer me millions of dollars. They could offer me because he here’s what we spoke about earlier, bro, if you ever put Vince Russo in that system, bro, you’re not going to control me”. He concluded by explaining his stance on former wrestlers in management: “Triple H still has the mentality of a wrestler and bro. When Triple H sees somebody come along that has the potential to be better than he was, he’s gonna chop them off at the knees, bro, and that’s why you can never have a wrestler, a former wrestler be in charge of creative”.
