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.
On this episode of Podcast on a Pole, we delve into February 1997, where Vince Russo is just weeks away from taking over as the WWF’s head-writer. However, despite what’s to come, Russo incredibly reveals how he was much closer to being fired than he was to receiving any kind of the promotion.
The month itself is full of chaos and controversy, as the WWF continue to trail WCW in ratings, while desperately looking to strike a chord to eat into deficit. This month’s topics include, Shawn’s smile and vacating the WWF title, the strange creative direction of Bret Hart, Vader’s bloody Raw Magazine cover, the Final 4 PPV, the debut of Chyna, The Rock vs HHH, the story behind Vince Russo almost being fired— weeks before he would become the head-writer, and much much more! All exclusively on this month’s edition of “Podcast on a Pole!”
