Podcast on a Pole is a monthly episodic podcast, looking back at wrestling’s Monday Night War, through the eyes of one’s of its biggest influences, Vince Russo. As the head-writer as both the WWE and WCW, Russo was involved with some of wrestling’s most famous segments, featuring the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, Mick Foley, DX, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Goldberg, the NWO and more.

This podcast is a month by month account of Vince Russo’s time with both companies, however, before we get to Russo the head writer, we need uncover how he ended up there in the first place. This premier episode touches on his early years - including his education, hobbies and goals - before moving on to his time owning video stores, which would lead to some very interesting brushes with WWF talent, who would make appearances in his stores. With Blockbusters taking over the video rental game, Russo was looking to move on, and it wouldn’t be long before the wrestling world would be introduced to a guy by the name of “Vic Venom.” 

We discuss how everything came to fruition - from his wrestling radio show in the early 90’s, his first initial run-in (and heat) with Dave Meltzer, a life changing letter to Linda McMahon and how he went from a $150 freelancer to the head-writer of WWF Magazine. But this isn’t your standard chronological journey through his life up to 1996, with a plethora of stories along the way, we guarantee more than a handful of dirt sheets headlines- just from this episode alone. Whether it be Jake the Snake’s jealous eyes, Dave Meltzer’s mindless ignorance, Sable’s painted boobs or Diesel’s cheesy smile, you can’t afford to miss this opening show.
