WCW is again a hot topic of conversation among wrestling fans online, with Vice currently airing a new docuseries titled ‘Who Killed WCW?’ And while many who worked for the company have appeared to share their stories, one of the most prominently featured has been Vince Russo.
However, the writer who made himself an on-air character while in charge of booking has now caused a new wave of controversy, stating during the third episode that “I was better than 80% of that roster.” This would see Russo ridiculed and criticized for this take, sparking a lively debate among wrestling fans. Still, rather than backing away from his bold statement, he has instead taken to X to double down, further fueling the fire.
“Wow, some can’t handle the “I was better than 80% of the Talent” Comment. Remember—WCW had a VERY BIG ROSTER. Am I sorry I said it? Not at all. I don’t say anything I don’t mean. It’s all on Peacock—I’ll let my heat Speak for itself. Matter of Fact, I was so convincing that some TWENTY-FIVE YEARS LATER—People STILL BELIEVE I was That Guy. Marks.”
Vince Russo63-year-old Russo made his name in WWE, having gone from being their magazine editor to working alongside Vince McMahon in penning the product. Therefore, when he and colleague Ed Ferrara jumped to WCW in 1999, many considered this a major coup and predicted WCW would again rule in the ratings. Yet, the exact opposite would happen with the brash New Yorker making some very questionable booking decisions, such as putting the WCW World Championship on actor David Arquette and later himself.
